wav the Parson Left Kaatucky.

A good many Years ago, when a
certain place in Texas was very
small town, quite number Of prom.
inent citizens went out on hunting
expedition. One night when they
were all gathered around the camp
fire, one Of the party suggested that
each man should give the timo and
reasun for his leaving his native
State and coming to Texas, whereup.
on each one III turn told his experience.
Judge Blank had killed a man in self.
defense in Arkansaw, tien. Soandso
had forged another mans signature to
u check, while another came to Texas
on account Of his having two wives.
The only man who did not make any
disclosures was sanctimonious-lo looking
old man, who, although a professional
gambler was usually called "Parson. y

"No, gentlemen, I did not. Since
you want to know so bad I'll tell you

Deep silence fell on the gronp. M
such excuse for coming to Texas eve
had been heard before. There wal
evidently an unexplained mystery a
at the bottom Of it. The Parson wa

A Card.


1t is reported, | understand, both
here and in Christian county, that |
an, dissatisfied with the medical and
surgical attention which | received
during my recent confinement with a
broken leg, at DR.. j. 2. Thomas, and
that it was my intention to sue him
for malpractice Although such re-
ports could not affect ne in the least,
yet in Justice to DR., Thomas, | deem
it my duty to contradict, point blank,
these aud all such reports. am glad
to state that it is my candid belief
that he did all for inc that he could
possibly do, or that any other pbysi-
clan could have done under the cir
cunstances. My case was much
more complicated than ole can i'm
agine, and the doctors whom | have
seen heic, and especially those who
have examined the limb, say that my
cure was most remarkable one. and
one which should recommend itself to
every unbiased mind; and give DR..
Thomas great credit, as he cured it up
without any shortening, although the
bone was four times broken in one
place. | consider myeelf lucky that ]
fell into the hands Of Dr. Thomas for
the treatment Of my case, and shall
never forget the Kindness of him and
his family during my stay with them.
To my many friends in that neighbor-
hood. | tender my warmest thanks
for their unccasing kindness in my be-
half.
Very respectfully,

Very respectfully,
Ed, B. WILLIAMS.

The past year has been u nusy one
for tho official hangmcn IN this coul.
Try. Ofcourse this does not include
those who wero compelled to make
the short shift allowed by Vigilance
Committees. The most liberal IN the
application of the hempen cord was
Arkansas. In this State fifteen we're
hanged. South Carolina hung ten,
Georgia eight, Missouri six: New
York and Tennessee five each, Penn
sylvania four Florida, Col.
orado, Alabama, Texas. Mississippi
and North Carolina each three; Cali.
foruia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jer-
soy and Vermont two each, and each
of tho following named States aud
Territories ono; West Virginia, Vir.
ginia, Oregon, Louisiana, Nevada,
Idaho. Arizonin, Indian Territory,
New MexiUo aud Washington. In
several OF the States not mentioned
capital punishment has been abol-
ished. This absence from the list,
therefore, willnot be mistaken as in-
dicative that they are free from tho
ugliest of criminals. The mnrderers,
like the poor, We haye always with
