And give it permanent place in the heart.

How welcome the seeming

Whether ones wealthy or whether ones poor:
Eyes bright as a berry,
Cheeks red as a cherry,
The grOan and the curse and the heartache can

Resolved to be merry

Across the famed waters that bid us forget,
And no longer fearful,
But happy and cheerful,
We feel life has much that's worth living for vet.

Arrested For Murder-A Negro Who IS
 Held Under Strong Guard.
 HICKMAN, Dec. 3.-A negro named Colum- bus Clark has been arrested and is held at Troy. Tenn, charged with killing Mir. and Mrs. King. It is rumored that the hatchet used in breaking the trunk has been identified by Dick Harrison, butcher of Union City, as his and that this hatchet and some other butcher tools were missing at the same time and about the time Clark left Harrison's en- ploy. Clark was tried at Troy this evening for the theft of these tools, but the result of the trial is unknown as yet. Few people here believe Clark guilty, although he has served one term in the Kentucky penitsntiary for cutting with attempt to kill. News comes from Obion that Clark is held at Troy in the court room under strong guard, fears be- ing entertained of Kentucky mob violence Few if any at Troy believe Clark guilty and are afraid of the Kentuckians letting their passions master their judgment. When the murderer is found his rest will be near the scene Of the diabolical crime and will fill the community with horror as great as the of fense itself.

He ate supper with the Raddys and then took of his coat and vest and lay down in the room with the trunk while the Ruddys went to bed in the front room. He could not sleep. He grew constantly worse. He couldn't sit down or walk and did not know what to do with him. self. He would go out, come in and walk got up between 12 and o'clock. Mrs. Rud- dy made him some tea. He could not con ceal his feelings, but grew worse and worse Ruddy sat up with him. He did not inti-
 mate to Buddy what the trouble was. He felt as If the house was surrounded and was afraid. About three o'clock 1t occurred to him that he might kill them all and burn the house. That very moment he sized 8 hatcaet lying near the wood box and struck Buddy, killing him instantly RuddyIs wife ran out, when he grabbed at her and struck her with the hatchet. She screamed. The child was screaming, SO he also took him out of bed. He remembered holding him in his hands, but did not remem. Der cutting him. Could not tell whether he struck him with the hatchet or not. (The child was found dead with it's head nearly severed from the body) He then chopped open the trunk, turned Mrs. Fords body out on the floor, piled the beds around, poured on kerosene. set it on fire and ran into the street. Be wans to Ford's, but found the door bolted. He then started for Plymouth. He dld not hear the fire bells and never knew the house was not burned till Mir. Jewell told him. He had no hard feelings against Mrs. Ford or the Ruddys. The murderer denied making the incision in Mrs. Ford's leg which appeared to have been made for the purpose of bleed ing and denied throwing the hatchet into the river. He said he put the hatchet where he found 1t. The news of the confession spread like wildfre and to night the streets are thronged with people eager for the latest in- telligence. Samon will be speedily arraigned and held for the Superior court in March There are renewed threats of lynching.
