-"BIG" Heyman must, indeed
have a pretty plantation on Bayou
Robert, as every now and then we
hear acme one talking about it.
The truth of the mattor is Mr.. Hev-
man has taken care of bis place,
and made improvements that were
needed, and which will last for a
number of years. He watches it
too, for he has "a bye like q hea-
gle" as all will admit. The white
washing of his plantation fence is
only after foshion that used to be
practed before the war, and could
be very easily adopted in these
times, where attention to all sorts
of business is SO little heeded.
Mn. Joseph Levin has lately
associated Mr.. J. w. Compton with
him, for the purpose of opening in
short time a general furniture
store.-something that has long
been needed in Alexandria. Their
place of business will be on Front
street, near the Ferry landing. Mr..
Levin expects to leave shortly for
Evansville, Ind, to buy the furni-
u'e, and will return about the LIST
of August. The firm will carry a
large and varied assortment of fur
niture to please all, so there will
be no excuse for our citizens to 90
elsewhere to purchase their furni-
ture. All the new firm ask is to
patronize a home house, when that
house will do as we'll by you as you
can do by sending your orders
elsewhere.
MURDERED FOR MONEY. - In
Washington County, Miss, on the
Sd of February, 1888, a white man
named - Johnson, was shot with
a pistol, but as the circumstances
then presented themselves, it was
hard to say by whom this rash deed
was done. The wounded man was
taken to his home, not far distant,
and not dying, his wife, two bro
theirs and a cousin, two nights af-
the shooting, killed him-the wo-
man holding him, whilst the men
knocked him in the head. The
quartette mentioned stayed in the
adjacent neighborhood until after
the burial of johnson. and then
went to Alabama, where they re-
manned over a year, afterwards mo-
wing to within ten miles to the
North of Hanisonburg, in Cata-
houla Parish, La. They had not
been long in that locality, however,
before they were "spotted" by our

minor heir of the Cobb estate, arrived here
to-day in response to a telegram from a detect

says Fosters first move was to steal the child
and skip over the Ohio line. five miles distant,
but the first known of his presence was in his
making an affidavit on which the mother was
bro ught before the mayor, who released her on
the ground that her arrest should have been
made by authority Of the Governor, On a
requisition. Fosters next move was to
have her arrested writ of
habeas corpus and brought before
Judge Kibbey, who then released her because
Foster did not present certificates to the effect
that his client has ever been legally appointed
guardian. Thus frustrated, Foster has gone to
the capital with requisition he has from the
Governor of Ohio, in the hope of getting the
Governor of this State to issue warrant by
which he can take the mother back to Cleveland.
In retaliation, she also instituted suit against
Foster for malicious prosecution, claiming $780,

gles and Bennett followed with hit over the
