A ROMANTIC STORY.
A Little Girl Stolen in Tennessee
When Ten Years Old is DiscOv.

Twenty.seven Years AfterWard
Living at POrtagevllIe, in
New Madrid County.
New Madrid Record.

10 AApt0Aus
Twenty. seven years ago a little girl
10 years old, named Elizabeth Alex.
ander, living with her parents in
Humphreys county, Tennessee, was
sent to a neighbours house to borrow
meal, She found the family of the
neighbor absent from home, and started
to return when she was met by a man
named Rance Peppers riding q horse.
Peppers told the child to get up be-
hind him and 90 to the next house
and get the meal. The girl allowed
herself to be placed behind Peppers,
and instead of taking her to the next
house, he rode through the woods out Of
the settlement and kept travelling un.
til they reached Hornersville, in
Dunklin county, Mo. Peppers died
sometimes afterwards and gave the
girl to Nelson Mills, who brought her
to the lower end ofNew Madrid coun-
ty, about twenty five years ago. She
was raised by Mills, and when a young
woman was married to Jefferson Coon
rod, a farmer in that neighborhood.
She is now the mother of three
children.
Last year a mar named Mitchell
came to Portageville from Tennessee,
got acquainted with Mrs. Coonrod,
and happening to mention Humphreys
county, she asked him if he know Bob
| Alexander, and then told him the
story of her being kidnapped by Pep
pers.
Mitchell became interested in the
story, and wrote the facts back to
Tennessee. 1t was ascertained that
the Alexanders had moved from that
county-no one knew whore.
About a month ago letters came tC
Mrs. Coonrod from Graves county. Ky,
from her brother, sister and nephew
stating that they had heard of her
and as test Of her identity, asked her
what her mothers maiden name was

RemarkabIe

About 8 o'clock Saturday night a
team of horses attached to Mr.. E. NJ.
Apperson's carriage became frighten-
ed and dashed away from in front Of
that gentleman's store, down Front
street, turned Market toward the
Navy Yard, and then rushed madly
up the railroad tracks upon which two
engines and a number of cars we're
standing, finally running out on the
%treStle beyond Oochran's saw mill,
where one became entangled in the
harness and fell across the ties, while
the other fell over the side of the
trestle to the ground below, Swapping
the harness like paper cords. The
first horse was extrioated from the
trestle, and the other, which dashed
about under the t%rstle, was finally Sc
sured. Both we're found to be com
paratively unhurt, and the carriage
was hardly scratched.

Speaking of Mr.. RUSSELL, the Ban
ner says: "He is fighting the cause
Of temperance first, and Democracy
next, and will never ialter or halt in
the good work. He is growing daily
and may yet be elected if Democrats
are wise; if they are not then they de-
serve defeat"
We suppose the Banner means by
''being wise" agreeing with Russell
and the Banner, and if thev don't do
this, they deserve defeat.0 This is
about the best pen picture that we
have seen of the skY-blue party aud
what it represents. Nothing serves
success that isn't ''Lossed" by this
handful of political leaders, and I'M
| less Democrats come to them they
ought to be defeated. Mr., RUSSELL
will be elected, ''if Democrats are on

Of them do this, she may be elected. ,"
Yes, quite likely. Did it ever occur
to these people that some one else had
right to an opinion besides themselves?
Must everybody else be necessarily
wrong, and they intallibly right
Everybody knows that Bate has a
following Of ten where RUSSELL has
one-an emphatic assertion and letters
over two stars to the contrary, doesn't
change the fact, or anybody's opinion
about it. Yet we are told that Dem
ocrat should not be elected unless the
ten men come to the one. If they re-
fuse this, they deserve defeat. How
could the Democratic party, or any
other party, ever gel along with these
men, when their doctrine Is that the
party must not succeed "unless it.:

We are reliably informed that w
A. Franklin, the chairman of the
Greenback Ex. Committee, for this
County, on Tuesday last wrote to
Hon. Ii. NJ. Tllmun, of McNairy
urging him TO become candidate for
the State Senate, pIedging him the
support Of the GreenbaCkers in this
county. Mr.. Franklin also stated that
the respectable Republicans of the
county would not support Barrett, but
that Barrett would be taken off and
the Republicans would 90 solid for
Iillman. The Boilers here have,
been for Tilllman for that place all
the while, and have been urging his
support upon the Greenbackers and
Repu blicans.
1t is now evident that the Republic
can, Bolter and Greenback leaders
have agreed to unite on TiLlman to
defeat the Democra candidate. Mr.
Franklin also stated that he was salts,
fed Illlman would accept tire place
thus rendered to him.
Mr.. Tillman was elected to the
Senate in 1880. as 4 State Credit
Democrat and voted for the 60 G act.
He was Chairman of the Bondholder's
Committee which went to New York
to get the Bondholders to accept the
sos act-He is now in favor Of carry
ing out the provisions of that Act.
Should Mr.. Tillman accept, the next
question is, can the so-called leaders
Of the Republicans and Green hackers
give him the vote Of their parties as
agreed upon? The Republicans can
no doubt, if they can dispose Of Barrett
in some way. But we imagine the
Greenback leaders will have some
difficulty in delivering the goods they
have agreed to sell to this "unholv
alliance" The Greenback party of
this county, is composed of men who
are Democrats, when the issue is mar

Republicanism They are opposed to
