sound in the Jail, and as he finished
the other inmates applauded. When asked
how he would meet his fate, he said Il came
here afraid of nothing, and shall leave afraid of
nothing" When led to the scaffold next morn
ing he wept copiously for a time though he soon
imposed himself and went through the ordeal
calmly. At Atlanta, Ga, on the same day, one
Labe Turner, an assassin, succeeded in commit
ting suicide by strangling himself with hand
kerchief He had attempted it several times
previously, but told the sheriff he was sorry for
it, as he 'loved Jesus and would go to heaven"
Asking a few minutes privacy to engage in
prayer, he drew the handkerchief tightly around
his neck, and was dead when the jailer returned.
The prisoners mother, with strange contra
diction of devotion and defiance, fell across the
body, exclaiming; Have you really gone to
Jesusl They have not had chance to put
rope around that dear neck You have beat
them at last" He had been desperate man,
hesitating at no crime and finally assassinating
a neighbor against whom he held grudge.
THE latest exhibition of superstitious lunacy
comes from Savannah, Ga, where young man
recently awoke to the unpleasant fact that
he was loving girl who didn't love back Read
ing of a woman necromancer who offered, for
consideration, to bring about love between dis
cordant hearts, he struck bargain agreeing to
pay $15, in installments of S. each to be paid
ION the appearance of different signs of success"
just what these signs were is not made known,
and some valuable data are lost to densely ig-
norant world. The youth put up the first So,
and waited. No signs of success appear
ing, he appealed to the sorceress, when
she informed him that the second So would have
to be paid or the enterprise would fail. Well,
when a fellows girl is in the case he stands at
nothing, and even So bill does not look as big
as bed-quilt, so he planked down the second in
stallment, and in time the third and last fol
lowed. Still no signs Despairing of success,
he now recalls the fact that SIS are not picked
up every day, while the Georgia woods are liter
ally full of girls. He proposes to bring suit to
recover the money, and unless some public
spirited citizen murders him he will drag the
young ladys name into court.

the status of these Southern Generals as
arranged by him would cause his in

THERE seems to be considerable dis
cussion as to the benefits derived from
the drummer system and Its absolute
necessity in order to transact business.
But the great benefits to be derived
from judicious advertising seems to have
been overlooked in the discussions.
More advertising in the papers of the
territory where trade is sought, would
astonish the wholesale houses beyond
belief, and add not little to the solu-
tion of the drummer question.

AFTER all the noise and mlsrepresen-

able that the Republicans have lost any
ground. The strong point In the party
platform, the protection OF American
labor and American interests, has found
favor at all the public meetings where
speakers have sounded that war cry.
The inclination Of the Democracy TO
free trade has had tendency to create
doubts in the minds of workingmen OF
all parties, which, coupled with the
Irish detection regarding the Demo
cratic ticket, makes any loss almost
nominal, If at all.
