DIED.

Miss Mamie Anderson, daughter of
j. T. Anderson, Esq, died at her
fathers residence in this city on the
9TH inst, in the 29th year of her age.
Services were held at the residence,
when her remains were carried to

members of the Knights of the Colds
en- Cross (of which order she was a
member) accompanied the remains to
her last resting plac@and buried her
with the honors of the order.
jamie, the sweet little daughter of
our friends w. j. Hine and wife, died
in Columbia last Sunday. Her
mother carried her there some time
since, hoping to recruit her health,
and it was thought she was nearly
well. The news was terrible shock
to the father, who left on the first train.
The stricken parents have the sincere
coincidence of the writer of this.

its present management, is rapidly
increasing in circulation, and is more
popular than at any previous time.

the best family papers in our knowl-

ah Wick and his son, near Idiewild.
The thieves carried their stolen ami
mails to Henderson county, about six
miles from Lexington. where they Of
fered to sell them to Mr.. Motfatt for
eighty dollars. This aroused the sus-
picion of Mr.. Mofatt, who saw the
animals were worth much more mon
ey; but he closed a trade with the
thieves, TO gain time and opportu,
nifty to effect a capture, he invited
them to a neighbor's house, when he
accused them Of he theft, and, with
the help Of othc,s, arrested them, ma
king a narrow escape from their pis-
tolls, for they showed fight, and would
probably have killed him if not pre-.
vented by others. The prisoners
were carried to Lexington Jail, until
Mr.. Wick went after them and iden.
tilted the animals. They were brought
here by Deputy Sheriff Williams and
tried before Esquire Jordan. They
gave their names as g. L. Land and
j. w. Stott, and said they were from
Obion county, and on their way to
Lincoln county, their former home.
They confessed the theft and were
sent to Trenton Jail to await trial at
the Humboldt court.
