CTAuNToN LIGHTNING ROD WORKS,
MuNsoN's ruBuLA,

- OAs>>~,
COPPER LIGHTNING ROD,
WITH SPIRAL FLANGES
This Celebrated Lightning Conductor, owing to the
material Of which 1t is made, and the of its
construction, Is the most complete protection against
disaster by lightning ever invented. This is con-
clusively shown by practical test Of over twenty
four years, during which time 1t has been in con-
slant use, being erected upon many thousands of
private and public buildings, in all sections of the
country and although there have fallen upon it, IL
numerous instances, most terrific discharges OF
electricity yetin instance has it failed to conduct
them harmlessly to the earth, thus saving many
lives, and property of almost incalculable value.
1t Has Never Been Overcharged 1t has
Never Failed.
The experience of one hundred years has shown
that whore all the necessary rules observed pro-
lection IL perfect.
At the present day one will deny the necessity
and duty resting upon to vaccinate our children,
and thus protect them from the fearful ravages OF
small pox in fact, can there be found In any COM
munity an intelligent man who will not acknowledge
an imperative duty resting upon every one to not
only use means, but the very best means of protec
ton to them and theirs against all dangers arising
from any source whatever few dollars judicious-
ly expended III lightning rods will securely protect
all the buildings that almost any possesses and
II life or property is sacrificed In consequence OF
neglecttng such protection, can we hold ourselves
blameless, Will not the dead cry out Of the ground
against uss VIII not the living censure for op
portunities neglected. The feeling alone that man
has done all in his power to make his family and
property safe from the destructive effects Of light
mig is worth far more than the cost OF all the
lightning rods necessary to secure such protection
Persons wishing their property and lives protect
ed from this destructive element will receive prompt
attention by calling at our Store No. Augusta ST.

Shocking Murder.

A horrible murder has just been brought to
light in Wakulla county. About year ago a
young man named T. P. Prawl moved to Wakulla
from South Carolina and located near Spring
Greek, with his young wife, where he engaged
in stock-raising and farming. Living near him
were several negroes who were suspected with
good reason of being stock thieves and Mr..
Prawl had threatened any who would steal his
hogs, but had had no difficulty. On Saturday
last he left home to go TO Spring Greek for fish.
He did not return that day, which alarmed his
wife; and his failure to appear on Sunday caused
search to be made. On Monday, however, his
body was found a short distance above Spring
Creek Landing. Deputy Sheriff Digger sum-
moned coroner's jury, which was assisted by
DR.. R E. Hose The front and rear of the skull
were found crushed, the left arm cut off and the
body cut In various places, showing that a horri-
BILE murder had been perpetrated. Three negroes
have been arrested on suspicion, but at last ac-
counts no direct evidence duplicating them had
been obtained. There is great excitement in the
county. The murdered man was a gentleman
of superior education, and the warmest sympa-
thy is enlisted in behalf of his unfortunate WIFE
LATER--Two of the negroes arrested on sus-
picion, named Goolsby, have since confessed, i'm
plcating Ben. Bennett and Elijah Bennett, me-
groes, one of whom, Ben, escaped. They say
that the BENEFITS confessed to them that they
killed Prawl, and gave all the particulars OF the
murder. The county is excited 10 the highest
PITCH as the murder was brutal in the extreme,
and fears are entertained that the maddened cti-
zens will take the law into their own hands.

choice as by attending the meetings where they

the natural desire to see in person the form and
features of those to whom the voters are invited
