The Murder of John S. Com.

Mr.. John S. Cain, gentleman
who lived for a number of years in
GAINESVILLE before the war, was shot
and killed in a train robbery on the
Little Rock & Fit. Smith r. R., on
the 18th inst. He was conductor OF
the train. The robbers got aboard
at way station, and when he APP
preached them to collect fare, they
put pistols to his head and COM
manded him to stop the cars. Just
as he pulled the bell cord they
fired two bullets passing through
his brain. The body was carried
to Little Rock, where the deceased
resided with his family, and inter-
ed with honor from the knights of
Pythias. Mr.. Cain began life here
as a saddler. He became a conduc-
tor when the railroad was compile
ted here, and has been in that occu-
patton ever since. After the war
he was employed a long time on
the Mississippi & Tennessee R. r.,
and subsequently on the Little
Rock & Fit. Smith r. r. The
many people who knew him here
regret to learn of his terrible death.

done much towards the musical
culture of GAINESVILLE since he has

False Wizard Ayagnfl

Virgins has gone the way of
mother Shipton and all the tribe of
modern prophets who have amused
the wise and frightened the foolish
with doleful Vaccinations. The
little blow along the Atlantic coast
was only an equinoctial gale, liable
to occur at this season, and by no
means ''the greatest storm ever
known" The windows of heaven
were not opened nor the fountains of
the great deep broken up. Ten
thousand fleets moved DER the
watery main and the rolling of the
deep and dark blue ocean was in
no ways remarkably terrible. Ma
ture moves on in its ordinary course
and there is no evidence of a cos
mic disturbance, immediate or re-
mote. Virgins will suffer the fate
of the prophets of Baal. This fail
ure will STAY his prophetic reputa-
ton as effectually as indignant
Isreal slew the false seers on Mt.
Carmel. s, ia So
Mr.. Virgins made a fatal mis-
take, he set his life upon cast and
stood the hazard of the die. His
predictions should not have been
made as absolute prophecy and
there would have been a better
retreat left him. Again he did
himself great injustice in appear
ing as a prophet with means of
secret divination, instead of as
Stunning the role of scientist in the
possession of a great discovery.
One curious fact is that Virgins
had faith in his forecast and stoutly
maintained to the last that it would |
all transpire as he had predicted.
He evidently believed that the |
storm would come and, as he Is not |
an absolute crank, he must have
founded that belief on some theory
or observation. 1t would have
been wiser for him to have pub
lished his reasons along with his
prophesy, a failure then could have
entailed no ignomlny, as science is
not infallible. But there is no mid
die ground for prophet, he is eth
er false or true, and glory or death
abides the issue of his prophesy.
If Virgins had announced an inn
provement in the study of meteor
ology his theories might have pos
sessed more MERIT that would
have led to further discoveries, and
he could possibly have lived in his
tory as the great pioneer in that
science. But Virgins prophesied
there would be "the greatest storm
ever known" The storm never
came. Exit Virgins.

Judge Shackleford will be remem-

Henry. After the war he was for
awhile on the Supreme Bench of

exact age is not known to us, but 1t
is supposed that he was between
