A Mothers Murderous Design.

An exception to the rule that a
mother will die for her offspring is
reported from Testers station. On
last Friday an unnatural mother, a
negro woman, coldly and deliberate
ly plotted the death Of her child,
and upon failing in her murderous
design by the child's refusal will
ingly TO offer its life a sacrafce to
her avarice she punished it severe
ly. Her plot contemplated the re-
covery of damages from the railroad
company for the killing of the child,
and but for the temerity of the
latter the road would doubtless
have been thus robbed. Superin-
tendent Geddes received the follow
ing from Mr.. F. B. Lester in reply
to inquiries about tie matter:
"There is negro living near the
mouth Of the tunnel who has about
ten children. Yesterday they agreed
that one of the number should sit
down on the track and be killed by
passenger train No. 2, so that the
mother could recover from the rail-
road company money as damages
with which to raise the balance of
the family. One of the children
agreed to die and they went down
the road a short distance and the
one who had consented to die got
on the track and sat there until the
passenger train came along to with
in about ten feet when the child be-
came frightened and jumped off.
The mother whipped the child Sc
verely, although it persisted in tell
ing her that she was going to die
for her benefit"

A man remarked in a crowd in
town the other day: eff were an
officer in Giles county L think l
would certainly take the CITIZEN. y
Another said: "Seme of them can t
read it." The remarks grew out of
a discussion of the meagre vote poll
ed and of the fact that some OF the
officers didn't know an election was
to be held. 1t does seem that a
public official above all others
should seek to know what is going
on

Newspapers of To-Day.

People generally, and even those
who may be termed steady readers
and close observers, have buta FAINT
conception of the magnitude and in
fiuence the press OF this country has
attained. From careful examination
of the advance pages of the American
Newspaper Directory, issued May, lst,
by Geo. p. Rowell & Co., of New York,
it appears that there are 14,147 news
papers and periodicals published in
the United States and Canada; of these
the United States has 1898, an aver
age OF one paper for every 1857 per-
sons. In 1884 the total number Of
newspapers was less by S23 than at
present, and while the gain this year
is not so marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the num-
Der being rs, while Illinois follows
with gain of ~. 1t is curious to
notice that New York, the scene OF so
much political activity during the last
campaign, should have only about one
third as many new papers as the State
of Pennsylvania. AS an index to the
comparative growth and prosperity OF
different sections of the country, es-
peeiaily the Territories, the number oil
new papers forms an interesting study,
and may well occupy the attention OF
the curious.

Mr. Parker stated that he had not

He was very agreeably surprised when
informed by Mr.. Perry that $l5,0u0
had fallen to their lot, one of the tifths
being numbered 59,075, which won the
first prize of $4,000 They immedi-
ately set out for New CLEANS, but will
shortly return to their homes. Both
are men of family, and in the prime of
life, so that the money goes into good
