Circuit Court FIR charge Of venue
The motion vas discussed all day and the
Judge Withheld his decision until to-mor.
row morning. This excited the mob and
| it was with great difficulty they wete pre-
vented frum hanging the prisoners at once.
When the excitement was somewhat
allayed another barbsrous murder was
ca nmitted in this city which threw the
whole community into comnOtioL. About
Ave o'clock Thos. Hines was!heard threat
ering the life OF . colored man named
] Wm. Dooley, with whose wife it is said
Hines maintained simproper relations.
He went to the shoe-slhop of Dooley, called
him out to the door and while DOoley vas
stopping to examine boot which Hines
said wanted mending, stabbed him in the
neck severing the c.rotoid artery. Dooley
died in one hour The negroes Of the city
Immediately held meeting and agreed
~ hang Hines. A nunb Der OF prominent
citizens tried ~ dissuade them and would
have succeeded, but those who proposed
tn hang Estep and Dawson hearing Of the
DOoley murder recognized their mob and
number Of negroes rejoined them to
hang Hines with the 9TH rs. The news Of
the intended lynching spread rapidly and
the streets were soon filed with people,
A bout half past nine o'clock steamer
came down from the Salines the scene of
the Lee murder, flied with lynchers; they
were anon Joined BY about so negroes.-
The marched to Jail took out Estep aud
Dawson and started for Campbe'ls creek
10 hang them from tho bridge where. be
had killed Lee.
The negroes finding that Hines had not
been taken out with the others returned
b the Jail, took Hines into custody and
reioined the Maine body which had been
halted to await their coming. The whole
party has Just left the city for Campo
Greek where the hanging was announced
to take place. A large crowd accomPa-
MED them at the upper end OF the city
where they we're inined by about 800 men
who had followed dowh from the Salines TO
Participate in bloodiness. There was 4
good deal Of pistol firing during. the
march through the streets, but no body
was hurt En-. COURIER.
From gentleman who was spectator
of the subsequent proceeding, We learn
the following
The prisoners exhibited great non cha
lence while on the way IN their execution,
especially Dawson, who called for whis-
Ky and used constant expressions OF mirth
as we'll rs many OF shocking profanity.
Hines Was hung first short distance be-
yond the bridge, by the colored men.
Dawson aud Eslep were & ven a short
time To prepare for death. Estep babe
g,od bye to his friends, but Dawson con-
tinued cursing till the last, making no
confession whatever, but said he wouldn't
give up to any id man on Campbells
e, eek and told Es,cp to shut his ID
mouth. These were his last words.
Al twenty-five past one they were drawn
up, and the crowd quietly retired.

did all in their power to prevent the mob
from executing 1.-THE prisoners, but their
efforts were in vain.

year of our independence, was cello
brated in Eaton by the ringing ofthe
Church and Court House bells, one
hundred rounds of cannon, the bril-

man candles, blue lights, fire-crack-
ers: music, dancing, and the raising of
as "much hell" on short notice as pos
sible! Our Mayor was not imbued
with the same hundred year patriotic
spirit as those of other large cities, or
there would have been more order
and system in the "jamboree," but no
doubt he will be better posted for the
next similar occasion! The day

Read Your Insurance Policies.

No sounder advice a be given to
those about to obtain or already in
possession ola policy ofinsurance up
on their property. 1t is a singular
fact that SO many men enter into con-
tracts with Insurance Companies
without understanding the terms, be-
yond the'fact that-they pay a certain
sum for a stated amount of insurance.
Not more than one man in ten ever
reads his policy, especially the condi-
tons under which it is issued, and
when a loss occurs he is astounded to
discover points therein that reduce or
%invalidate his claim. Thereafter sail
is vanity" to him the company IS a
bloodsucker, and all insurance is a
fraud. 1t is probable three-fourths of
the suits instituted in the settlement
of losses arise from the ignorance or
carelessness of insurers, and not from
any fault Of the insurance companies.
This Ignorance is entirely wrong and
unnecessary. The policy is the con-
tract, and in it the terms and condi-
ton are plainly set forth; it is all
simple and easily understood, and no
reputable company will attempt to
evade their own provisions. A few
minutes spent in reading the policy
would show a man exactly what he
receives for his money; doubtful
poin5s could be settled much easier
than after his property is destroyed.
and an astonishing amount of trouble.
perplexity and litigation would be
avoidable. knowledge will prove tc
be power to those who follow our ad.
vice to "read your policy"

Eeath Record Of Eaton and Vicini.
tv far 1875

M-
1t has been our custom for several
years, to publish the first week in jan
uary, a list of the dead for the past year
in Eaton and vicinity, which record is
carefully preserved and furnished by
Judge CHAMBERS. We therefore give
the list below for the year 1875. How
many thoughts will sadden as they look
over the long list and their eyes meet
the name of some one whom to "memo-
ry was DEAR" and that the sunlight of
their presence should have passed away
forever from their homes to the silent
grave, ami left but the remembrance of
happiness that vanished like the shadow
on the stream. Alas! how dreary a
thing is death and the rave, when such
are embodied in its cold embrace, ere
Hopes flowers had faded from their
brows, with songs yet on their lips and
ioy in their hearts. A beautiful writer
has remarked ''that after all, there is
BIZ real misfortune in this world;
that dark, cold separation from those
we love. In all else, time car restore
and fortune renew"
But when shall Spring visit the moldering urn,
Or when shall day dawn on the night OF the
grave"
The estranged and divided can meet
and mingle again as of old; hand grasp
hand in renewed fellowship; the absent
return, and past danger be forgotten in
present joy-but between the living and
the dead is a gulf, which neither can

us, we can go to them, whe.e
"Adieus and farewells are a sound unknown"
A little whi1e-a few more weeks ard
days-and the bell will toll for us and
our name will be in the list-we will be
laid in the city Of the dead-the home
of the weary and care-worn-the refuge
from the storm and the tempest-where
Friends, brothers and sisters are laid side by side
Yet none have saluted, none have replied.n
