BUSINESS FOR LADIES

Our atten ton has been called to a new
article for the use of ladies, the invention
of which has conferred an everlasting
blessing upon every lady. We refer to the
Queen City skirt suspenders for supporting
ladies' skirts, the most desirable and bene-
fetal article ever invented for the relief of
women, many OF whom have suffered years
of miserable health caused solely by car
rying the weight Of number Of heavy
skirts, completely dragging them down.
Something to support ladies' clothing is alb
solutely necessary. These suspenders are
recommended by our leading physicians to
all ladies and young girls. Every lady
should have them. They are sold only
through lady agents. A splendid opportu-
nifty is offered TO some reliable lady can
vasser of this county to secure the agency
of pleasant and profitable business. For
terms and territory write at once to the
Gu en- City Suspender Company, 27S Clark
Street. Cincinnati, O. june l3-4t

COMMON SENsE.

Many imagine all advertised medicines to
be worthless nostrums. and indiscrip mate
" condemn them; but is it not injustice 10
the thousands Of respectable citizens who
give voluntary evidence OF benefits received,
to thus question and doubt their veracity
and integrity? Fairbanks standard scales
are extensively advertised. Does it neces-
sarily follow that they are inferior in make,
and less accurate than others? Have they
not been demonstrated to be among the
best? Again, is it common sense 10 sup
pose that a physician with capital could be
induced to hazard it and hard earned
reputation upon worthless article? r.
V. Pierce, NJ. D., Of the Worlds Dispense
ry and Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, is
the proprietor of the most popular family
medicines in the market. His reputation
as skilliul surgeon ana physician has been
fully established for many years. Would
physicians and clergy, after having tested
his medicines thoroughly, unite in COM
intending them to the afflicted if they pos
sessed no merit? The undersigned take
pleasure in recommending DR.. Pierce and
his Family Medicines to all who may need
them:

EMPLOYMENT FOR LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN AT HOME.

Our attention has been called to some
new and labor saving cooking utensils-re-
Gently invented. One Of which, the Uni
yersal Weight and Measuring Uiensi, for
weighing flour, sugar, butter, and measuring
molasses, milk and all kinds of liqnids used
in cooking. entirely superseding expensive
scales. The Patent Centennial Cake Pan,
the best and most convenient Cake Pan ever
made, and which every housekeeper will
have when they see its advantages over all
others. Also, the Kitchen Gem, a plated
wire boiler to hang inside of an ordinary
pot, for boiling all kinds of vegetables, eggs,
etc, which, when done, can be removed at
once perfectly dry without lifting the heavy
sooty pot off the stove. These goods are
sold exclusively through agents to families,
and offer splendid opportunity to some re-
liable lady or gentleman canvasser Of this
county to secure the agency for very
profitable business. For terms, territory,
etc, write to L. E. Brown e. Co., No. 242

Intense excitement reiSned
over the lynchipg Of Pearson and
Saddler, the all, ged ravishers Of
Mrs. Groves. They were taken
tom the iail at Springfield on the
10th at IN. by an armed body
Of men. Late in the morning in
telligeuce reached town that the
bodies had been found three miles
east Of there, both hanging to
the same limb. Every kind of
conveyance was pressed into ser
vica and many locked 10 the spot
aud viewed the remains.
The Coroner's jury examined a
lew witnesses, and returned YER
dict Of death by unknown hands.
The bodies were cut dpwa and
placed IN the same grave q few
feet from the fatal tree.
All day Wednesday rnmors
were circulated that an attempt
would be made on the Jail that
night. Sheriff Jones. who is also
Jailer, had been of. Returnir. 9
about dark 10 preparations were
made for the protection Of prison
ers, no credence being given the
rumors.
A mob numbering one hunlr.-d
or more, ali armed and on horse
back, arrived about ten O'Clock.
surrounded the Jail and threw
out pickets. Several citizens all
tempted to get near the place,
but were warned off The mob
was thoroughly prepared for any
emergency, and forced the Jailer,
after having his doors battered
down and his life threatened, to
deliver the keys.
There was literally no resist
ance except from the Jailer. The
doors of the jail cells were opened
and a guard appointed to see that
noneofthe prisonersescaped. Pear
son and Saddler were recognized,
dragged from the cell, tied and
placed on horses behind two of
the party. The mob then quick
~ galloped of, few of the citizens
knowing, what had happened.
Arriving at the scene Of the eX.
ecution, two pieces Of old, greasy
plow-line were attached to the
same limb, two feet apart. The
men were held up by the lynch
ers and q rope tied to their necks
They were then let loose to stran-
gle to death, their feet being only
six oreight inches from the ground.
The lynchers stayed with them
until satisfied they we've dead.
Some of the party were seen ri
ding away at daylight. The
lynchers were all strangers and
were not masked.
At the Jail Pearson touchingly
appealed to the Jailer for protec-
ton, bDt Slddler maintained ST.
lence. 1t is not known whether
they confessed or not. Both have
stoutly maintained their limo
cence, claiming they could prove
an alibi, and that the prosecution
arose from a grudge of Mrs Groves
family against them, The lady,
however, positively Unidentified
them as the guilty men, and al
though some doubt existed, the

LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALA,
June 2lst, 1873.
Mr.. Editor-Time speeds on
and midsummer is almost here,
though winter clothes and fires
are very comfortable. Every
thing seems to be moving on
snoothiy-tarmers, candidates,
&c. Farmers are endeavoring
to hold a hand with the weeds
and grass, but it seems that
some are about to fail, though
crops as a general thing are in
tolerably good condition. Corn
and cotton are small, owing to
the cool weather. The wheat
crop is very light in places, but
reports from other places are
more favorable. As for candi-
dates, we have few but can't
hold a light TO Lincoln. 1t
seems from The list of candi-
dates in.tlIe OBSERVER, that you
will have no excuse for not hav-
ing competent officers; for out
of SO many it seems you might
have a good man for each office.
Our county sends two represent
tatives to the General Assem-
bly, 10 be elected in August and
only four have announced them
selves yet. We hold primary
elections some time prior to The
general election and elect nom
inees to run against the radicals,
and by so doing the people get
their choice and the democrats
gain their point. The candi-
date for Governor is nominated
by convention composed of
delegates selected by what they
call mass meeting. We are not
Informed who is nominated for
Governor yet, but hope The Sc
lection may be as good as the
one who now holds the Office.
The credit Of our S ate has gone
up considerably since the adj
ministration of Governor Hous-
ton began. But he has served
two terms and our people don't
favor the third term system.
We must try new man and
risk the consequences.
Rev. VIM. Gill, of yonr coun-
ty, favored us with an appoint
ment embracing the 9th Satur-
day and Sunday in June, which
we hope he may be able to meet.
Those who never heard him
preach are anxious to hear him,
and those who have are more
SO. So a good meeting is an
ticipated. The general health
is tolerably good. There was
one death the 7th inst, old age,
we suppose, being the greatest
cause. Best wishes to the OBJ
SERVER and its many readers.

An Artificial Voice.

Any man who is dissatisfied with his
voice can become an orchestra, with
woods, brasses, strings and a big drum,
if he likes. In September of last year..
DR.. FOULS, of Glasgow, found himself
under the necessity of proposing the
complete removal of the larynx Of one
of his patients The man consented,
chiefly with the view of escaping the
lingering death which threatened him.
1t was accordingly done; and now at the
end of four months fair share of health
has been regained. the windpipe and
other parts implicated have healed so as
to admit of the introduction of voice
tubes, and the man has been shown at
the University and before some of the
scientific societies of Glasgow, where the
professors and others were enabled to
satisfy themselves of the reality of his
speaking powers. For the sake of easy
adjustment it consists of two tubes,
which are placed in the wound sep
arately, and fitted to each other by slip
ping. the lower little way into the up
per one. A framework holding a vibra-
ting reed is passed into a hole in the
front of this tube, like a drawer into its
grooves. When pushed home the reed
plate slopes downwards, and the current
of air from the lungs, impinging upon its
free end, throws 1t into vibration. A
continuous musical note is thus produced,
which becomes modulated into voWels,
and words by the action Of
the mouth. All the reeds remain silent
in ordinary breathing. The vowels ara
perfectly clear and distinct, both In
Whispering with the reed out and in in
toning with the reed in the tube, prov
ing that the vowels are the product Of
changes in the shape of the mouth-caV-
ity, and not formed by alterations Of the
CLOTHS. The question of the reeds TO be
used was one of much interest. The first
tried in Glasgow was of brass. Expert
ments have shown, says The PGA Aqg
Gazette, that many other materials, such
as ivory, horn, cane, silver, OF steel, viii
answer the purpose, and the patient
who is an ingenious mechanic, amuses
himself in fitting them up. He has thus
a variety of voices at command, and
with one of his reeds, made of vulcanite,
can positively roar. The Softest and most
natural notes are given by the lop-me'
tallic reeds; but the richest tone comes
from reed composed of an alloy Of Eils
yer and brass
