AN AFFECTIoNATE FAREWELL The
Honorable Gentlemen have gone home,
and we bid them a reluctant farewell.
Peace, prosperity and above all rest 90
with them They have labored ardu-
ously with might and main, in fact
doing not much of anything. The legis-
lative halls will question each other in
their solitude and ask what has become
ofthese interesting tenants who made the
all sonorous? The lobby, too, is empty;
and the capitol rats will have things their
own way on the second story now.
they were an interesting company of
| gentlemen. They brought some good
Jokes t. town, they filled a dull period at
the boarding houses acceptably; they gave
the idle and the weary somebody to talk
to; and the bootblacks felt that better
times had come. Among them mot the
bootblacks. but the members) were some
OF the best fellows in this land of
good fellows some Of the most mys
teriously wise old fathers; some of the
most ambitious youth; and some amusing
accidents. They were disposed to be
kind to everybody Except to the State);
they had a mind to do good work, and
did make continual and diligent effort.
There has new r been a Legislature that
had among its members more men who
put forward greater individual effort.
| But the truth is that collectively some
how they did not succeed in doing much.
Bald as they we're Individually, collective
" they lacked aggression; and the sum
total of the really useful work done is not
great.
To day three-fourths Of the gentlemen
will tell you land they are s%incerel that
they do not care to be returned. But
next year three-fourths of this three
fourths will be ''in the hands of their
friends" While the people have no
especial reason to find fault perhaps, there
is a sort of general disappointment
throughout the State. When this Legls
lature was elected and even after it came
to Raleigh, the general impression was
hat it was an exceptional body. The
popular expectation was great-too great
perhaps. After all, too, we are all doing
so well in North Carolina. hat there is
really very little work of much impor-
lance for a Legislature to do-except to
kill the dogs.
But we shall sorely miss the Honorable
Gentlemen here; for they were good com
pany and added life to the town. -Chroni

...Charleston, W. Va, March. o
News of a frighttul tragedy has Just been
received from Wise county, Virginia. In
the neighborhood of Bonds Mills the
Hentons, Mitchells. and Reynolds were
the leading families, and Martha Rey-
nolds was the belle of the whole region.
She had many suitors. the most favored
ofwhom were Charles Henton and Bud
Mitchell. Not certain which she loved
the most, she engaged herself to both.
Henton became aware of the fact, and
persuaded the girl to elope with him.
They left the neighborhood, were quietly
married, and returned to the home of the
brides parents on Saturday, Feb. IS.
That night the wedding was celebrated
| with a dance. Bud" Mitchell was pres
ent, and, under the influence of liquor,
became noisy and insulting. He berated
| the bride for her fckleness. and finally
slapped her. Her husband, hearing of
it, ran across the room, and gave Mitch
ell a beating. and was oriy prevented
from killing him by his friends. Mitchell
left vowing vengeance
On Sunday night Hentor and his wife
attended a prayer meeting at a rural
church, going home by a short cut.
Mitchell was not seen by any one. As
| Henton and his wife failed to put in an
appearance, search was made on Monday,
and their bodies. dlsfgured almost be
yond recognition, were discovered in a
lonely spot in the path they were fol
lowing. The woman's head was nearly
severed from her body. Henton had been
shot in the breast, and afterward the as
sassin had pounded his head to a jelly
l with q stone. Mitchell is missing.
