A SAD ACCIDENTAL LITTLE GIRL KILLED.
The Mt Crawford correspondent of the Old
Commonwealth, under date of September 18th,
says 1.-THE most distressing accident that has
happened in this place for number of years
occurred last Thursday afternoon about five
O'Clock. Hattie Augusta, the eldest child OF
Mr.. George w. Murray, in company with her
little brother, was at the mill of Mr.. John w.
Sherman, al the end of town. While playing
with a little daughter of Mr.. Sherman, they
CHattie and her brother) went down under the
mill In what is known as the pit runs
shaft, to which the pulleys are attached which
run portion of the machinery. Hattes
clothes became fastened by some means to this
shaft, which is only about is inches from the
ground and she was whirled around number
of times before the machinery could be stop
ped. She was wrapped close up to the shaft
and at each revolution her head struck rock
which nearly severed her left ear and mashed
the side of her head very badly. Mr.. S., who
was near, Immediately ran and cut her loose
from the shaft, and conveyed her to his house,
where her father was at work. Drs. Dinges
and Moore were summoned who arrived in a
few minutes, but could not stay the death
stroke. She fingered about half an hour in an
unconscious state, when her spirit took It's
flight. She was buried on Friday afternoon, in
the Southern Methodist graveyard. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Lynch, and
his sermon was based on the text found in the
seth verse Of the End chapter of Acts. The pail
bearers were young girls of near her own age,
dressed in white and were as follows Clara
Lynch, Blanche Lynch, Annie Landes, Irena
Carroll, Mary Fifer, and Maggie Earman. A
beautiful wreath and cross composed of white
flowers, were laid on her coffin. Her, age was
IL years and 81 days. She was bright, active
child, and her sudden departure is severe
stroke to her parents, who have the sympathy
of the entire community"

To the CITY Authorities.

A soap-factory, in its proper place, is GER
tainly very good thing. But a soap-factory,
with its unsavory and unwholesome Odors, on
The main street Of city, in close proximity to
two large and fashionable furniture stores,
which the ladies have occasion so often to visit,
and almost Immediately opposite to fashion
able clearinghouse, is a thing very much out
of place.
If our esteemed Mayor and city fathers will
take occasion to visit this soap-factory, they
will find that it emits the vilest compound of
vilainous smells that ever offended human
nostril At times it is actually sickening to
pass any where in the neighborhood. You may
try to avoid it by seeking the opposite side OF
the street, but in vain. The vile smell often
polutes the air. not only for the width of the
street, but for the length of square. Such
nuisance is unbearable. If a dead horse or
dead dog were left to purify on the side OF the
street, every one would treat it as an outrage,
and means would soon be found to have it re-
moved. This sOap-iactory is scarcely less Of
fensive, and yet it is tolerated, because 'what
is every body's business is no body's business
It's public nuisance. 1t affects the comfort
and doubtless, to some extent, the health of
every body who has occasion to pass by that
business part of our city. 1t is, therefore, the
duty Of the representatives Of the publc-the city
0lLtloritjes-to have it abated. CITIZEN.

WELL SAID.-In appealing 10 the Dem
ocrats of Virginia to realize the importance
of the fall election the Richmond Dispatch
makes this summary:
"Upon the result in Virginia this year
may depend not only your deliverance from.
Mahone's rule, but the election of the next
President of the United States. Let us
spare no effort, therefore. to elect a Dem
ocratic Legislature. If Malone is defeated
this year he will not trouble US much here
after He will sink to rise no more. He
will still be able no doubt to control his own
followers and send delegates pledged to
Arthur TO the Republican National Conven-
ton, but he will not be able to promise the
vote of Virginia to Arthur or any other
nominee"
These are serious reflections. 1t is not
only question of the consequences to flow
from Democratic defeat in the State, but
alsoin national sense. Virginia is un-
.blushingly offered for sale at Washington,
and the bidding is in progress, but the de-
livering of the property will never be made
If there is thorough organization and work
in the Democratic ranks.-NorfoM Virgin

1T Bears the Closest Scrutiny.

In the many items of news published, or re-
printed in the advertising columns of the
newspapers of the day, it is satisfying to the
reader to be fully assured that all the names
given as winners of capital prizes, at various
times OF different amounts, in The Louisiana
State Lottery are correct and truly stated, in
addition to the many who avoid publicity for
various reasons. All names and amounts are
genuine and will bear the close scrutiny of in
vestigation. If any one doubts this fact, let
him seek information of NJ. A. Dauphin, New
Orlean, La, and he can be fully satisfied of its
exact truth.

kidney and liver troubles. She had such severe
pains in the back that she at times became
very much debilitated, and the least labor was
burden. feared that IL would terminate in
Brights Disease, as there were the symptoms
She had no appetite at times. She tried sew
eral medicines. but only received temporary
relief from any of them until she commenced
using Hunts Remedy, which was recommend
ed to us by druggist Smith of Auburn, saying
that 1t had been used by good many with the
greatest success for the cure of kidney, liver,
and bladder troubles. She commenced using
1t, and found by the use of only one bottle she
had been relieved of the pains in her back, had
regained her appetite, and could rest well and
attend to her household duties, andiw can
truly say that Hunts Remedy is most won-
derful medicine, and cheerfully recommend 1T

sSWHAT MAHoNE,s TREASON HAS DONE

"WHAT MAHONE,s TREASON HAS DONE.
In an article bearing the caption above,
the Richmond State says that ''Mahone's
treason, his treachery, and renegadism
have brought Virginia to the verge of des-
tructlon, to the point where negro rule
threatens her with all it's disgusting details,
with all the vices and evils of amagamation
and miscegenation, and our only hope of
escape from it lies in our determination not
to submit to the degrading terms. 1t is a
worse fate to proud people than death,
and when that alternative comes we believe
there will be very few white Virginians who
will not know how to choose. But it has
not come to that yet There is still a rem
edy and very effective one left US, and
that is the ballot. We have an oyerwhelm-
ing white majority in the State, and it is
only necessary to bring our people to the
polls, as we will bring them on the 9th of
November next, to save Virginia from the
baleful effects of this "Malign Influence"
from the clutches of this triclzster, who is

he has installed himself as the E'fetish'
1t needs but one strong effort, but one
united pull, Virginians, to rid yourselves of
this detested master, and will you not make
it? We appeal to you all in the name of
Virginia to come up to your duty sternly
and nobly. Register, and work, and speak,
and vote, and leave nothing undone or I'M
said that can have any effect in the canvass,
or in the slightest degree contribute to the
defeat of this monster, who if he succeeds
now, will turn us over to Radical opppres-
sion and plumber, under the vilest system
of misgovernment ever planned or conceived
for the punishment of any people.
Your opportunity, Democrats of Virgin
ia, comes to you on the 9th of November.
Then is the time to strike; then the auspi-
cious moment for your restoration to the
control of the State; and then, we implore
you as you value good and pure govern
ment, the honest rule of honest men, and
as you love liberty and hate tyranny, do
not neglect it."
