HOSE EzELLs MURDERER.
Hargrove, Caught at Birmingham,
Proves to be Another Man.

A dispatch to Sheriff Arrowsmith
last Saturday announced that
Fletcher Hargrove, who murdered
Hose Ezell near Pulaski several
months ago for assisting in stealing
his sister for another man to marry.
had been caught and was in jail at
Birmingham awaiting requisition.
1t created considerable excitement.
coming right ON the heels of a hang
ing and promising another hanging
itself. He was identified by Joseph
o. Barley, now living in Birming-
ham, and Sheriff Arrowsmith at
once left on the south bound train.
Arriving there he was admitted to
Hargrove's presence and found him
so changed as to be an entirely diff
ferent man. Hargrove was delighted
to see him so that he might identi-
fy him as some other man. Sheriff
Arrowsmith brought a vacant pair
of handouts back with him Sunday.
The fellows name was George Eos
ter of Lookout Mountain and he
was accompanied by young wo-
man with two little children. They
were his children and the couple
were unmarried and were moving
their washing to some quarter where
they could enjoy their elicit infelic-
ity unmolested. They were on,the
train and Foster became aware that
he was watched and jumped from
the train while twas moving rapidly. !
1t was stopped, backed and he was
caught and carried on to Birming
ham. Detectives were on his trail, |
he was HargrOve, and |
they could already feel the velvet |
edges of the $500 reward offered |
for his apprehension. When Bark
ley identified him they would not |
have sold out for less than 1908 !
with coupons receivable for taxes.
The foolish woman whom he had |
ruined chung to him. All, woman,
thy name is frailty. This one was
also named Nancy. After delibera
ting as to what they should do with
him for his criminal negligence in
not being the right man, they con
GUIDED he would be sufficiently pun
shed if he pursued the life he was
eading and they turnedshim loose.
Hargrove tickled a greaser under
he ribs away down in Central Mex
co when he heard the news and
you could hear his smiles echoing
over the plains of the Montezumas.

lum's gilt edge mummy.

The Huntsville Opera Company's
rendering of Patience was surpris-
ingly perfect. We cannot particu-
larize but the sweeping assertion
is justified by the acting OF each
that it was done better than some
of the best professionals do. We
have heard Emma Abbott's silvery
voice in this elegant little opera,
which seems to have been composed
to suit its rich, sweet tones and the
bright vivacity of her petite pres
ence, and yet this was almost as
good. We congratulate the young
ladies and gentlemen upon their
achievement and our sister city
that it can turn out such an army
of beauty and talent and elegance
and chivalry. They won all our

Mr.. Hick Bsllentine has been alb

Nashville. Mrs. Charlie Carter is
alsc upon visit to Mrs. Palmer at
Murfreesboro. She was subjected
to quite an adventure upon her ar
rival there. She did not know when
the train arrived at MurfreesbOro
and failed to get OF. The con
ductor discovered it and put her off
a mile out in the woods and left her
to tramp back to town as best she
could. Fortunately she was over
taken by a gentleman in a buggy
and after much persuadlng to con
vince him she was not really tramp
he consented to drive her to Gen.
Palmer's. She discovered that he
was the father of Mrs. John &.
Brown. and when he found that she
was an intimate friend of his
daughter he was overjoyed to render
her assistance. This episode will
form a sequel to Mrs. Carriers Cen
tennial adventures and they will

Pnepma-Baptism

This is the title of a neatly bound
book of III pages bearing the i'm
print Of the Pneuma-Baptist Pub
fishing Co., Pulaski, being the first
of series of contemplated publica-
tons. 1t is written in fluent, easy
style, with the parts well joined,
and bears upon its face evidence OF
thoughtful research and much learn
ING. The author is one of the most
devOut and earnest ministers ever
in Pulaski, an able man, who has
given much thought to the questions
treated. The book is a daring de
parture from the accepted theories
upon the subjects treated and will
doubtless awaken criticism, but it
will at the same time learn the world
something and will be entirely new
reading to a large class of persons.
We have not had time to examine
it consecutively, but we are assured
by the scope indicated in the head
ings and the scanning we were able
to give it, as also from our knOwl-
edge of and great confidence in the
reverend author, that it is some
thing that the people ought to know.
1t treats of a vital question and If
there are errors in our belief and
practices they ought to be corrected.
We commend it to the people as
worthy to be read. Price 70 cents.
For sale at the book store.

the meshes are closer together and

five feet high and the heads are
larger and in every way it is superior
to other wheat on like ground. 1t
