an old colored man named Jac$
Robinson came in town yesterday NOM
ing to make complaint against some
one over near Barton spring for shoos-
ing his work ser. The steer had
jumped into t'e white mans cotton
patch. and JACK says The fence around
the field is but three feet high and not
sufficiently high to turn stock. The
steer was killed early IN the morning,
and Jack says that he has circamstan-
tial evidence that the owner of the
field shot and killed the steer.

Two NOTED GRAVE ROBBERS.

Our readers will remember the &C
count given in these columns of the
robbing Of the grave Of the Hon. Scott
Harrison, in Ohio, lass May, the body
beng found in the dissecting room Of
the Ohio Medical College. Public in
dignation justly brands any man as 3
scoundrel who will rob the grave Of
the dead. But there are two noted
grave robbers in the country, so far
from being the subjects of the peoples
wrath, are universally Landed for
their virtues. The reason is plain.
While the former class steal the dead
bodies of our loved ones to submit
them to the dissecting knife, these
only rob the graves to restore the liv-
ing victims TO our hearts and homes.
Their names-Dr. Plerce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets-are household words the world
over. The Golden Medical Discovery
cures consumption, IN its early stages,
and all bronchial throat and lung af-
fections, Pleasant and ParRative Pei
lets are the most valuable laxative and
cathartic.
