day night. Before the flames got un-
der full Roadway negro prisoner was

having set the Jail door on fire, be-

Mrs. Serena Smith, of Hawkins
vile, Ga, commencing in 1875 with
one horse, has steadily increased her
farm till now she runs a six horse
farm, having purchased and paid for
600 acres Of land and all her horses
and mules, six in number. Mrs
Smith has this year built gin house
and screw, purchased new gin, and
has already ginned over 100 bales of
cotton. The whole secret Of her sue
cess lies in the fact that she raises her
own corn, meat and syrup, and, in
fact. supplies her whole farm with
home-raised provisions.

At Bakersfield, Cal, recently, three
trials in succession resulted as fol.
lows: A man who killed another in
the latters own house was acquitted;
a man who shot at another twice with
intent to kill, and missed his mark,
was fined $3.50, and a third, who tried
to steal watch, was sent to the peni-
Tertiary for ten years. This is pref
ty fair sample of justice as adminis>
tered by the Intelligent" jurors fre>
quently in this state. Our law should
be changed so that the best informed
men could serve as jurors, even if
they had read all about the cases to

There now seems to be little doubt
of the insanity of Guiteau, and the
impression is fast gaining ground that
the jury will so decide. The trial is
farce, as now conducted, and should
be stopped. A jury of experts should
be summoned to take his case under
consideration. Ifthey should declare
him sane, then he should be tried as
a criminal.

upon the platform of the boilers con-
vention and a submission to the people

An EmpOria lady, now on q journey
east, speaks a word in behalf of the
beautiful trees on the Norton lots corner
of Fifth and Merchants. We called at
tenliOn TO this, matter in THE NEWS
some days ago, and suggested the idea
that the lots composing the west half of
the block on Merchants, between
Fourth and Fifth be secured for a
court house site. The suggestion
we understand, met with much favor.
The lots could be purchased now, while
the price is much lower than 1t will be
&c the matter Is delayed, and left for the
use of the public. The trees should be
allowed to stand. When the county gets
ready for a new building it would have a
beautiful site, handy to business,
for a new building, with trees
already grown. If Che securing of a
site is postponed for some years the
county will either have to pay an enor-
nous price or move the county build
ings off 70 one side. and away from bus
mess. The present location of the court
house has always been a nuisance, and
everybody who has had business in
court knows what a hindrance the noise
of trains is to public business.
At any rate Let us:hsve those trees for the
benefit OF the public If the county will
mot act the part of wisdom, let the city
secure those lots for little city park,
and preserve the trees. 1t would be just
the place, fixed up little, for public
meetings, picnics, celebrations. etc..
