Lambert is to be taken to Swain
next week to, be re-sentenced to

confident that he will never be hung;
says that he is innocent of the kill

he will make it known who did kill
him; that he would have done SO at
the trial, but he was under threat
from the real murderer. 1t is posi-
BILE a sensation may accompany the
re-sentence.

Springs hotel, which is probably a
little more advanced and the Hotel
at the White Surpbur Springs near
Waynesville which is receiving its
furniture, and will be ready when

be kept on the most advanced ideas
of the business; and all will have
the advantage Of being under land
