A MONUMENT.

The Manning Guards will meet on
she I'd prox., to devise measures: to
erect monument to their comrades
who perished in the late war. This
is most commendable as well
as natural on the part OF the
Guards. It is only surprising the mat
ter has been allowed to rest so long,
Ii is the duty and should be a sweet
and sacred privilege of those who
survived that terrible period to do
something that will preserve for pos
seriy the memory and good deeds Of
those, their comrades, who persisted
chat they might live.
Let the Guards and their sister
organizations inaugerate the attempt,
and we feel assured the people OF
Clarendon will further their efforts
With substantial aid.

eral years ago from Georgia and mar

Tha Pressleys rent some land in the
neighborhood, a portion of which was
occupied by Jones, who, however, paid
no rent for it. On Tuesday evening
Charles Presley went to Jones's
house and told him that he would
have to vacate the land as he and his
brosher could not afford to pay the
rent for him. To-day about II o'clock

Presley and his sons Charles and
Edward were ploughing. A colored
man who lives near the scene OF the
murder states that ne saw Jones go
up to Charles Presley and. witheat

gun, to. his shoulder and empty the
contents of both barrels into the body
of his victim. He then turned and
walked off in the direction Of the
woods. Edward Presley, the broth

down his plough, started to pursue

HoNEsDALE, PA, September I7.-R.
Il Webb, well-to-do farmer living
near Glass Factory Pond, four miles
from this village, met Mary Pollard,
young woman from Bowmans-
vile, Ont, who was visiting friends
here. Before she returned home Miss
Pollard and Webb became engaged.
Webb was afflicted with q nervous dis
ease, of which the young woman was ig-
norant at the time of the engagement.
The disease was attended at times with
violent spasms. Shortly after she re.
turned home one OF her friends in this
county wrote and told her of Webb's
affiiction, and she broke the engagement.

cured. Webb renewed his suit and was
