GREKEVILLE, Miss. October q
Lanisr. who killed j. S Love here
last Friday, was examined before
Judge Valiant Mayor Of Gresnrlle
to-day aud acquitted Judge Valiant
is one Of orr most highly respected
%eitiZeDs, and his deciEon Is indorsed
b. the entire community.
The details Of the assault by Love
On the wife Of Lanier are utterly unfit
for publication. Il appeared AZ the
tnal that Love was az unsuccessful
sutton, and prosecuted the lady before
her marriage. and after that event
sought the revenge Of blasting her
character. Ia thus disebarging the
prisoner, who was defended by Percy
and Yerger, Of Greenville, and Milton
Hules, Of Huntsville, Judge Valiant
said:
have been a pra%eticing lawyer
Tor more than twenty years, and | have
never seen CT read Of such a case as
this. There is no Law TO which the
defendant IN a ease ike this could
appeal. lfanyone in a position like
that occupied by him lad sued for
damages be would simply have been
laughed at II is, therefore. my opin-
ion hat be did just what / or any
other man OF honor would DO. and I.
therefore. discharge the prisoner
and bid him go hence without delay"
The decision was received with
shouts Of applause.

following to say Of one Of the most es-
Unable and genial Of railroaders:
Colonel Sidney B. Jones. latterly
the well known General Travelling
Passenger Agent Of the Panhandle
road, at this point, now representing
the interest Of that road 10 the South

vile, has rendered his resignation, to
take effect November /. Hereafter
Colonel Jones will take entire charge
OF the passenger business Of the Louis
vile, New Albany and Chicago road.
With new and elegant headquarters at
Chicago. He has had twenty-fv
years experience in railroading. having
held the important position Of General
Passenger Agent Of the Louisville
Short Line, General Passenger Agent
Of the Baltimore and Ohio, and Gem
eral Travelling Passenger Agent Of
the Panhandle road, and in which
capacity he conducted the business 10
the best interests Of the roads and
credit TO himself Colonel Jones has,
perhaps, a more extended acquaint-
ance throughout the West and South
than any other travelling agent in the
country. He has not only the faculty
Of making friends, but Of keeping
them. His services, no doubt, will
prove highly beneficial to the Louis

Colonel Jones to the Pan. handle will

A Bad Fall.

The inside of the Canton Spring
Works building is exposed to the
weather, on account of being ready for
a new slate roof. Mr.. Thomas LathrOp
proceeded at half-past two this morn
ing to cut the sixty-fOOt belt, which
runs the line shaft, so as to take it
down and keep it from getting wet. He
placed ladder against the belt, and
mounting proceeded to cut it part way
through and then get down and tear the
remainder as he often has done before
The belt proved to be rotten, and hardly
had he begun to cut, when 1T tore
through, throwing him off the ladder, a
distance of fifteen feet on the ground,
where he alighted on his shoulders and
left side. He was badly bruised and
severely shaken up, but, happily, no
bones were broken, nor is it thought,
any internal injuries sustained. He
was carried home at a. m. to his resi-
dence at the northeast corner of Seventh
and Rex streets, where his injuries are
being attended by DR.. Arter. He was
quite comfortable this morning at 10
o'clock and able to converse freely with
the reporter who called to see him.

Grand Combination Clothing adj Furnish

We call attention in this impression
of the DEMOCRAT to the advertisement
of Mr.. NJ. Ruhman, the Oldest clOthier i'll
Stark county. His name has been so
long associated with the business, that
it has become a household word. For
over thiTty-three years he has led the
styles and clothed the people of Canton
and vicinity, and 50 successfully, and at
such reasonable terms, that, once Gus
toner, is to remain so ever afterward. A
leading feature in his public announce
ments, is the prominence he gives his
present prices, and comparing them
with the ordinary current rates. The
great difference in favor of buying with
him, is readily apparent. This year es-
pecially, the bottom has dropped clear
out and OveTcOatS and SuitlngS OF the
best materials and latest fashion can be
bought at prices surprisingly low.
The attention of wOrkingmen is called
to his stock. for themselves and children
for no one knows the value and cost Ola
dollar better than the "ten-hOur man"
who pulls it out of burning metal, a
pile of brick, or gravel bank. These
men must all buy clothing, and when
they get the same amount of warranted
goods for ten dollars, that another man
offers for twelve and a half, he wisely
concludes to go to Ruhman and pocket
the difference. In The furnishing de-
partment nothing need be said except
that it is complete in all its details,
with courteous corps of attaches to dis
play the stock. Look in upon them; il
is no trouble to show goods, and if you
do not buy, you will, at least, have the
satisfaction of seeing their immense
| stock

obituary of Miss Emma BoOlsius.

The following obituary notice of Miss
Emma BOckius, which we take from the
Alliance Review, shows the high es-
TEEN in which she was held and will be
read with interest by her friends and
former associates in Canton:
The death of Miss Emma Buckius, one
of the most promising and accom-
plished young ladies of Alliance, is
source of great grief in this community.
She had completed the course of study
in the Alliance Union Schools, and
graduated with honor at the commence
ment last June. After graduation she
sought rest and recuperatiOn, by paying
several weeks visit among her
friends residing in Western Penn
sylvania, and shortly after her. return
home was taken ill of malarial fever,
which, after great suffering, terminated
in her death last Sunday morning. She
was an exemplary young lady and held
in high esteem by her teachers and
dearly loved by her parents, young COM
panions and friends. A short funeral
service was held yesterday at the home
of deceased, conducted by Rev. Rankin,
of the Lutheran church, after which the
remains were taken to Canton for inter
ment. The graduating class of 81 Alli-
ance High School, and quite number
of young people, personal friends of the
deceased, accompanied the remains.
