The editor OF the Sparta Plaindealer is
disguised by the parsimony and lack of
public spirit shown by Spartan realty own
ers. He sarcastically inuendoizes them,
after this style: If you think anybody
wants to buy lots from you, real bad, scare
HIM off with enormous prices. A good bus
mess location is the very thing to keep,
Other people will make it very valuable by
building up around it. Keep your lots.
The enterprise of your neighbors will add
greatly to their value. "Beware OF all
strangers! Keep them at distance. For,
if they see you want to sell, they will think
the town is going down. Don't let them
take any advantage of you; be as grasping
and stingy as you can. Never invest cent
in any public enterprises, but hoard every
cent and lend tout at usurious rates, Sc
cured by cut-throat mortgages Then
fold your arms, and set back and see your
town fairly BOOM" The time was when
the "bricks" thrown by the Sparta editor
would have been appropriate missiles to fire
from Cairo newspaper offices; but not so
now. Cairo lots can be purchased at very
low figures-so low indeed that the chance
ofobtaining home is placed within the
reach of every one. Good building lots
can be bought at from $50 to 800 each.
This can be said, perhaps, Of no other town,
of even 1000 inhabitants, in Southern Hi
nois.
"A negro man, named Henry White,
was shot and killed at Caledonia, on Mon
day last, by Constable Tom Echols, under
the following circumstances Echols had a
warrant for the arrest OF White, to answer
charge of larceny, preferred by Mr., Baglby.
He found White in Caledonia, at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Hiram Boren, at work. he
told him he had a warrant for him and
must take him along. White replied "all
right; but by---I want my hat" and,
avowedly to get his hat he started back
through the hall of the building the con-
stable following him. Reaching the back
yard White broke into run. Echols called
on him 10 stop, and thinking 10 scare MIN,
fired off his revolver. White continued
10 run, making directly for the woods.
Echols fired at him second and third
time, and then seeing that the fugitive was
likely to reach the woods, and escape, re-
turned 10 the starting point for his horse,
leaving an assistant in pursuit of the fugi-
tive. When he returned he found that
White had fallen, within a hundred yards
or so of the point where he was last fred
upon. The last ball fred took effect. strik-
ing him in the small of the back two or
