matter than Appletons Encyclopedias at less
than one fifth its cost, and 20 per cent. more
than Jolnsnu's Cyclopedia at liGtle less
than One-fourth its cost. The superlative
value and importance of this great Eucyclo-

State Of Mississippi has done nothing
whereby her fair daughters may acquire

that the next Legislature onght to estab-

from the Grundy Center (Iowa) Argus,
showing there are others that say
qcorse of the saloon keepers than I
have yet done. It is entitled:
WAS HE MURDERED?
One of the first thoughts that came
to our mind. OH learning of the death
of Mr.. Butler, which occurred at the
Snyder House on last Friday morning,
was that he had been murdered, yea,
murdered; struck down by a weapon
in the hands of his friends. Not killed
by Il blow from the assassin's knife,
but slain in the midst of his bosom
friends, and by his own companions,
coolly, deliberately and without provo
cation. The deed was not done in an
instant, but by slow degrees, and in a
most cold-blooded manner. Cruel
torture was first resorted to, robbing
the victim of friends, home, family,
money, reputation, and finally reason,
until at last the climax was reached,
and the once honored man was ready
to be sacrificed-murdered in the most
horrible manner. In a drunken sleep
he laid down and never rose again.
The deed ]ad been accomplished. A
body killed, 3 soul ruined, and why
are the murderers not arrested and
tried for the crime? Who are the muir
derers! The saloon keepers! Go ask
them if they are their brothers keep
er. What answer do they give you?
LICENSE!
Trusting that have made no ene-
mics, though may have seemed a
little severe in some remarks in this
letter, but the nature of the case de-
manded it, as my criticiser used con-
siderable severity in his criticism. and
I did not wish to be outdone if I could
help myself. With all respect for d.
1 still hope the same from him for
