chain, pocket-book, &C., were produced
and identified !; also, the watch.key
fousd at the reservoir. The Police
Justice, to the best Of his knowledge
and belief, identified them as the things
that had been in his possession.
GOOD WITNESSES.
II is usually said that lawyers make
bad witnesses. II was not SO with Mr..
Richardson. He was probably the best
one that has been on the stand yet. He
spoke slowly. cautiously, and precisely.
and answered all questions with a
promptness and simple directness and
intelligence that were very effective.
Miss Madison. nice-looking lady Of
about eighteen, was also good witness.
She kept thin smoke-colored veil over
her face, and was not asked to remove
it. She showed no great embarrass-
ment. and her responses to questions
were always direct.
W. x. Qusries.
Mr.. Quarles is one Of the best-known
businessmen Of Richmond. He took
the stand and said that he was junior
member of the firm Of Warren &
Quarles. brokers' had been connected
with banks and banking-business all
his life. His business had been such
as to give him very thorough insight
into handwriting. He was not pro-
fessional expert, but he was fair
Judge Of writing. Wasn't personally
acquainted with prisoner. Last year
had business transaction with prisoner.
Thought he could identify his hand
writing. Had seen some Of prisoners
handwriting since the trial.
A postal-card contents heretofore
publisheD was produced.
1--WE admit that is our handwriting"
said Judge Crump.
A letter and envelope were produced,
and Mr.. Quarles said he thought they
were written by one and the same per-
son, and that person was I. j. Cluye-
rius.
Counsel for defence objected to all
this. and afterwards read the letters.
To Mr.. Meredith : | haven't any doubt
at all that the handwriting is that of 7.
j. Cluverius in each case.

we reserve our right to object" said
Judge Crump.
Mr.. Meredith at this point wanted to
introduce the four envelopes and the
letters found in Lillian's trunk to show
that the prisoner had corresponded with
Lillian, and that this caused her to
come to Richmond. Mr.. Meredith re-
ferred to the fact that he had proven
that the trunk had not been opened or
tampered with until il reached the hands
Of the officers Of the law.
Judge Crump objected, and the Court
oyerruled the objection.

An Incentive 10 Our Farmers,

We copy the following from the
Greenyille Nea0s::
1.-THE stock show at Pendleton on
Thursday was an entire success, not
falling short Of that of last year. The
exhibition of blooded horses and cat
tie was fine one, and at the auction
sale many registered cattle were dis.
posed Of. The prices were not high,
however, the highest price paid for 6
aingle animal being $235 for regis.
tered Jersey COW. Several citizens Of
GreenVille were present, but none Of
them made purchases. Pendleton and
it's surrounding country is noted for
fine stock, including the improved
breeds of cattle, sheep and horses. Il
is headquarters for that noble breed
of horses, the Norman Percherons,
and the people there know their value.
This lies in the fact that around Pen.
dleton live that GLASS Of good solid
people who, even in the days Of the
brilliant past, were ahead of the times
in the improving and owning OF fine
stock and in the practical application
OF science and common sense to the
pursuits of the farm. The Pendleton
Farmers Society is one of the oldest
associations of the kind in the coun-
try and included in its membership
in ante. bellum days many Of the
brightest minds in the State. i"

Death OF MRS. Lizzie Perryman.

A heartrending letter from Gen. Per-
ryman, the father, TO our honored towns
woman, Mrs. Charlton, announces tae
death Of Mrs. Lizzie Perryman. This
was the young lady. who. scarcely more
than year ago, while on visit to the
Doziers and Chsrltons, was 50 admired.
and made so many friends, in Edgefeld.
Early in the past spring, she married q
young gentleman OF her own name, and
after long northern tour, went to house
keepingin happy Texas home. And now
when just fairly entered into the high es-
tate Of womanbood, God, in His infinite
wisdom, has called her to ahappier, home.
She diod at Liberty, Texas, on the night
az the Bird instant. This dispSasssion is
all the more mysterious, inasmuch as tho
well moulded character OF Mrs. Perry
man fitted her for the responsibilities no
less than for the charms Of life. Her
death comes like clond over tho face Of
the rising sun, ,or like the cold frost upon
an opening flower. But as we know not
the ways Of providence. we must bow to
its DEGREES, and learn to accept even 80
grievous sorrow as this. Although
bright yong life ia closed forever on
earth, we know full well that a brighter
life is just begun beyond the river. In
Edgefeld q very wealth Of sympathy
follows this touch Of the angel OF death.
