Homer, on the lake, near the Catholic
church, was discovered 10 be on FIRE. The
fire engine and hook and ladder boys were
promptly on hand, and e1tinguished the

the poor outfit they had.

nent prosperity until she. establishes
manufactures. Her merchants may
purchase the wares of all the world,
and sell them for our cotton and wheat;
they may, from their profits build
handsome stores and elegantly APP

contribute to the fixed, permanent, as
sured prosperity of Dallas until they
measurably quit buying and devote
their energies to making. A manu-
factory of cedar buckets and tubs in
Dallas would coin money. We have
cedar enough at hand of the best quail

THE SULPHUR SPRINGS MURDER
FULL AND ACCURATE DETAILS.


We notice among our exchanges Of
yesterday an exceedingly inaccurate
account Of Il terrible murder nenr Sui
phur Springs, Hopkins county, In
which exchanges II isayerred that Mr.
Joe. G, Preston, commercial traveller
for A. A, Melleir, ofSt, Louis was the
party murdered. The gentleman kill
ed was DR., Akin, II kindly old physl-
clan Of seyenty-two years Of age, who
has been pre-emlnenlIy successful IN
TINT part OF the state in the specially
of cancer treRtnGnt We are enabled
to lay before olr readers the fullest
and most truthful details of this hOrrl'
bic murder which are ms follows:
DR.. Aiken had arrived in sulphur
Springs with some six hundred and
twenty-five dollars in gold, which was
deposited with the banking house Of
Is. NJ. Childers Il Bro. lie then step
ped into the saloon of Jones " Co., and
drank pretty freely, and invited the
two murderers, Jay Moony and Jim
Payne to take a glass with him. Jim
Payne il the brother Of the notorious
murderer aud horse-thief Writ Payne,
who was for years the terror of thes sec
ton of the State in which he lived,
Both boys are the sons ofJudge Payne,
prominent lawyer of Sulphur Springs.
Jim Payne, last year, was arrested
upon u charge Of highway robbery, but
although the proof was quite strong,
through the influence of his fathers
friends he was released. DIR. Aiken
spent his money lavishly in company
with these young desperadoes, and ex-
cited their unholy cupidity by enlarg-
ing upon his gold. They avowed in
the presence of an old negro their in
tention to rob him the next day when
he left town. Accordingly after the
old man had withdrawn his funds from
the bank, taken parting drink with
his companions, and proceeded out,of
town, the two robbers mounted their
horses, and, in broad daylight, started
out after him. They cut large
white oak club, and about six miles
from Sulphur Springs, on the road to
Black Jack, and within one hundred
and fifty yards of farm house, they
overlook the old man about dusk, fell
upon him, striking him behind the
head with their club, and then burst
ing his head entirely open by repeated
blows They then robbed him, divid-
ed the gold and proceeded to Moneys
uncle's, where they were arrested the
next morning. The gold was found in
the yard, one-half Of it wrapped in
shucks, stuffed in an Old shoe and
placed under pile of rails-the other
half found in another placed, also
wrapped up carefully. t
The strongest feeling prevails against
the inhuman murderers in Sulphur
Springs, and only the wisest- counsels
have prevented the swift application
oflynch law. The citizens are deter
mined to have the law thoroughly en-
forced in this case, and the extreme
penalty meted out to these young,
though terrible, brutal and bloody as
sassins.

Needless Suffering.

Many persons of weekly constitution, WIN
