wishes to express her thanks, through
the columns of The HERALD, to those
friends and neighbors who have been so
kind during her late troubles. Words
are but faint tokens of the gratitude she

which she and hers have been the re-
cipients throughout the sorrowful days
which have passed, yet it is only
through them that she can express her
great gratitude.

The truth about the Danville massacre

The truth about the Danville massacre
is coming out from a quarter where it
was least expected to appear. Some
democrats who witnessed it are giving
testimony which agrees very well with
the statement made by Malone. Judge
Blackwell, a democrat, and an eye-wit-
ness of the atfray, says "Fifteen or
twenty white men arranged themselves,
as if spontaneously, chiefly along the
sidewalk. The line presented their pis-
tolls. The negroes turned to run, but, by
the time they got their backs fairly turn
ed, the line fired volley as nearly to-
gether as if they had been soldiers.
After this volley had been fired the fir
ing continued rapidly and continuously,
as if each was firing as rapidly as he
could. At no time" he continues, "did
| see negro with any weapon what
ever"
A Chicago man set out to give his wife
little surprise the other night. He
went home early and sober, and by so
doing, not only completely surprised her,
but also a neighbor.
