we're claiming to be the "White

radicals were "Nigger Lovers"
But now who are the "Nigger
Lovers" Why the Democrats
are, their candidate for Governor
is a "nigger' and his name is
Yardly. He was brought out by
the two headlights Of the
Democracy-tho Nashville Amer

Of course they will support him
with all their might.

A few of the faithful" as we
understand, tried to get up a
"Tilden, Hendricks and Yardley
club" last Tuesday night, Two OF
them went to the Court House
and stayed until 8 o'clock, but
alas no one else came. They re-
paired to a grocery and partook Of
"consolation," after which they
went to their little bed wiser and

EEe Ran Her Off.

Not long since there was a
young lady from an adjoining
State came to Cleveland to spend
the simmer. There was a young
fellow went to see her twice a

She says when he leaves she will

which was not more than IA mile
and a half distant. Custer began
the fight in n rayinc near the ford,
and full half OF his command
seemed to be endorsed at the first
fire. Then the soldiers retreated
towards him in the rear and were
shot down with astonishing rapid
ity, the commanding officer fall
ing from his horse in the middle
Of the engagement, which com
mcnccd at II a. IN. and did not
last more than 80 minutes. After
the massacre Of Clusters forces
the Indians returned to camp with
six soldiers as prisoners and deli
rious with JOY ever their success.
These six were tied to stakes at a
wood-pile in the village and burn
ed to death. While the flames
we're torturing them to death, the
Indian boys fired red-hot arrows
into their quivering flesh until
they died.
Sitting Bull was met after the
fight, and he eXultantly remarked
that he had killed many soldiers
and one id General, but he
didn't know who he was. The
squaws then armed themselves
with knives, visited the battle
field and robbed and mutilated
the bodies of the soldiers.
While those soldiers were be
ing burned, the. Indians turned
their attention to a force, evident
ly Reno's attacking the lowerend
OF the village. Ridgely says Gus
ter's COMMAND had been slaugh-
tered before a shot was fired by
Reno's force, which attacked the
lower end Of the camp about 2
o'clock p. III. The Indians return
ed in the evening and said the
men had fought like devils, but
Ridgely says they did not make a
statement Of their losses. They
said the soldiers had been driven
back twice, and they piled up
stones and the attack was unsuc-
cessful.
The prisoners were burning for
one hour, but Ridgely was not
to speak with them so
we are unable to state who they
were. One was noticeable from
his small size and gray hair and
whiskecs.
Reno killed more Indians than
Custer. Two Captains, believed
to be Yeates and Keogh, were the
last to die. The night after the
massacre the Indians were wild

Trlhate Of Respect 10 the Late

The following among other pro

The Mayor +. Il, Hardwick hay

had departed this life on the even

wit:
Whereas the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen Of Cleveland have
learned with deep regret that
Z. Nj. Craigmiles a member of
this Board departed this life on
the evening Of the Sth instant af-
ter a long and painful illness; and
feeling keenly the loss we have
sustained, deem it proper to pay
some tribute to his pemory, and
place on record some testimoni-
al Of our appreciation Of his worth
as a man and Of his many good
qualities as a citizen. Mr. Craig
miles became a citizen Of our
town in 1852 and since that time
has made his home among us.
During that time he engaged
extensively in the wholesale mer-
camille business in Charleston,
S. c. and in New York. He accu-
mulated Il handsome estate and
greatly added to the wealth and
prosperity Of our city by settling
among us He was twice elected
Alderman of the First Ward by
his neighbors without solicitation
on his part and by his ripe eXpe-
rience in financial affairs greatly
aided in the direction of the
financial operations Of our Board.
We feel his loss in our delibera-
tons; and now that he will meet
with us no more it gives us pleas
ure to express that our assOcia-
tons with him as a man were OF
a most pleasant and agreeable
nature; that his memory is not
darkened by unpleasant reCollec-
tons; that as we are all travellers
and "strangers in the land,' the
meeting with him in the earthly
journey was a pleasure to us like
meeting a friend in a distant and
strange land; and we can conf
IDENTIFY hope that when we shall
pass over the river Of death into
that strange and mysterious fu-
ture we will meet and know him
again; and forever renew the
pleasant associations which be-
gan i'll this earthly existence.
With such feelings we can sym
pathise with his family and more
intimate friends; and offer to them
the c~onsoling reflection that dark
and dismal as the tomb may APP
pear yet it has been lighted by
the presence OF the Redeemer,
cold as the waters may have
seemed that surged around his
dying frame; yet they were warm
ed by the spirit Of the Him who
in this life was "a man of sorrow
and acquainted with grief" and
we entertain a hope that his oft
expressed wish to die and be done
with suffering was the resultant
expression Of a faith and hope
that his future life would be one
ofpeace and rest.

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach end
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill n day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
or0us health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than q quarter of q century, ana
have obtained n worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
cascd action in the several assimila-
tive organs Of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and dangcr-
Gus diseases that have baflled the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, ut the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their apcrlont action
they grippe much less than the common
purgativcs, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamcd. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
Il from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomcl nor any deletorious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their s~ugar-coatlng pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant TO take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
