Hardin College.

We had the pleasure Tuesday of a
stroll through the addition to Hardin
College, truly called the "Vassar of
the West" This school is now one
of the best in the country, East or
West; the corps of teachers is COM
plete, and composed of the best of
skill and talent. The schools BOOM
ing, and never was in a more flourish
ing condition. The prospect for the
coming year is very hattering. We
could not help but be struck with the
neatness and home-like appearance
of the boarding department; the
rooms are large, pleasant, well venti-
lated and nicely furnished. Every
where we could see the handiwork of
Mrs. H. 7. Baird, who is one of the
most successful school managers in
the West. Hardin College has a
bright destiny toward which it is
yearly striding. We notice among
the new features some very fine maps
and the largest and best globes we
ever saw. The desks are all new,
made from selected wood to order,
each desk being for one pupil, and the
most convenient made. The labra-
tory is fitted out with the latest and
best scientific apparatus. In fact
nothing is lacking to make this insti-
tuition equal to any in the United

This brilliant little actress, who has
been playing through the East with great
success, will make her first appearance
west of the Mississippi on Sunday night
(29tA), at Pope's Theatre, for one week.
On the opening night she win appear as
Capitola, in q new dramatization of Mrs.
Southworth's famous story, The Hidden
Hand, . character which has won for her
an extended reputation. 1t is said TO be
n of the finest examples Of soubrette
work now before the public, and If the
fattering notices she has received from
the Eastern press may be taken as EVIL
dence, she viii capture the susceptible
young men of the city by storm. She is
said to be young, handsome, vivacious
and unmarried, qualities which should
prove powerful factors in securing for
her a pronounced success here. Miss
Van Tassel will be supported by the we'll
known comedian and character-actor
MI. Edwin Young, and the following ac-
tors and actresses, or less known
to fame: Robert B. Brack, W. R. JAM

WAS THERE FOUL PLAYs
VIM. Williamson Found Cut to Pieces
on the Railroad Track.-.The
Matter Being Investigated.

There was a dance at Thompson
Station, this county. last Saturday
night. A number of gentlemen from
Mexico, and other portions of the
county were present, and among them
VIM. Williamson, a farmer who lived
on John Daniels farm near Thomp-
son. During the evening Williamson
and others were drinking, and it was
claimed that he insulted a young lady
present. A little scrapping match
ensued, in which Williamson got a
biff ON the head. The dance went
on, and at daybreak the ball broke
up. The Mexico boys came home.
Williamson started west for home, on
the Wabash railroad track. That
was the last seer of him alive. Par
ties who saw him start, say he was
sober. About two houfs later he was
found in a cut on the railroad track
a mile west dead.
The engineer says when he turned
the curve he lay with his head on the
track, and his body off at the side.
We have investigated the matter, and
find no cause for suicide. He either
was booty and fell down, or was
killed and placed on the track. Par
ties from Thompson wereAin Mexico
Tuesday, and with the constable and
prosecuting-attorney went out to see
what could be done in the premises.
No arrests have been made as yet.
The body Will be dislnterred. We
are unable to learn exactly who or
what is suspicioned. The Mexico
boys were home before the accident
could have occurred. We do not
think there was any one at the dance
who would commit a cold blooded
murder. A gentleman told us that
just about the time. Williamson was
struck by the engine he saw two par
ties, and gave their Lames, hurrying
across the fields near the place where
the body was found. Rumor says
Williamson was a gentleman of good
habits and good morals, and did not
drink to excess.
We trust that it will turn out in
evidence that the killing vas al ac-
cldent, and that no one is implicated.
CoRoNER's JURY VERDICT:
We, the jury, find that William Will
hanson, whose remains we, the jury
have examined, was, on the morning o.
May 10, 1888, run over and killed by en-.

Nearly q Bad Shot.

One night last week as VIM. Reed,
driver of the express wagon, was
going home, he thought he saw a
burglar trying to get into Mrs.
Glascock's residence. He out with
bis pistol and let drive, the bullet
going through a window, and narrow
ly missed going into the bed where
Mrs. G. and daughter were asleep.
They tell the joke on Bill that he
fired at his own shadow. Carrying
his lantern on the outside threw his
shadow on the house, and he thought
it a burglar, but this, we think, is a
mistake.

a new paper, to be called The Van

Black Bill's Last Burglary.

rum tuC UUc-DtuO
The faithful old war horse Black Bill,
used by the late Col. John r. Hawkins
during the war, ended his career at Mont
gomery City a few days since. In 1861
he was ridden by the Colonel from Pike
County into the Confederate army, and,
after surviving all the hardships of ser
vice, carried the same commander back
to his old homestead after the close of
the war. He was then sold to Hon. w.
L. Gatewood, who used the war steed
about Montgomery City for several years.
Mr.. Gatewood said he was not to be
trusted without strong lines in expert
hands, and he sold the old fellow. From
the most reliable account he was then
between 25 and 80 years of age. After
being sold and traded around for some
time he became the property of James L.
Pegram of Montgomery City. The horse
was high spirited and often ran away,
smashing all sorts of vehicles that he was
hitched to, but never getting hurt. He
has been seen to scale a fence as high as
his back, to raise a gate latch, and to
draw a pin from Grip doors with his
teeth. He always got his full share OF
all that was to be had, but never ate to
excess, and SO gave no indication OF
ill-health until a few hours before he
died. Self-reliant to the last, he had
burglarized a crib and filled himself with
roasted corn taken from the ruins of a
recently burned grain elevator. 1t hap
pened that Bills latest meal was mixed
with broken glass that had been raked UP
with the grain. The dose was more than
his digestive organs could grapple with,
but he died as he lived with a full stom-
ach. Four colored pall-bearers assem-
bled at the funeral. The remains were
laid SIX feet deep in the earth, and {
rose bush was planted to mark the noble
! chargers last resting place.

e Patent Corn,

We have heard much complaint
this season about poor seed corn. If
We had known it sooner, we should
have advised friends in the country to
have gotten their seed corr from
John Daniel. Pate Morris this week
sends us in samples of Johns corn.
He said it was corn, but we thought
it was oats. We think 1t would
take about 400 acres to make a BUSH
ell, and are certain it would take 400
bushels to make a peck of meal, and
400 pecks of meals to make a hoe
coke, and 400 hoe-cakes to feed one
man. Speaking of corn don't put us
in mind Of the sample at all.
