cases of intended assassinati oa
that ever occurred in the history
OF our county. The circumstan-
ces are that a negro girl, Francis
Coleman by namo, the day before
called for some stamps at the
Postotfice while Mr.. Joe Oliver
was receiving a telegram. He
asked her 10 wait a few minutes

the matter. Without any warn

desperate lunge at Mr.. Oliver 3

They were soon overtaken and
while resisting arrest one of them
was shot dead in his tracks by
some unknown party. The other
negro shot Mr.. Jesse Oliver off
his horse with an old musket

sister, who were hollering, "Shoot
him! kill him' After Mr.. Oliver
fell from bis horse the old hag
and the girl took the empty gun
and shattered the breech over his
head, leaving him almost insensi-

Mr.. Oliver received in the arm

A Word to Workers

If your avocations are mentally or physically laborious, if they subject you to exposure in indictment weather, if they contine you to the desk, and are of d nature to involve wear and tear of brain, and nervous strain, you may Oc- casiOnaIly require some renovating tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the arti- cle for you, it stimulates the failing en- orgies, invigorates the body and cheers the mind. It enables the system to throw off the facilitating effects of un- due fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the organs of digestion, arouses the liver when inactive, which it very often is with people whose pursuits are seden- tary, renews the jaded appetite. and en- courages healthful repose. Its ingre- dients are safe, and it's credentials, 1, which consist in the hearty endorsement of persons of every class of society, are most convincing. Admirably is 1t adapt ed.to the medical wants of workers.

We cannot state whether bis offence is bailable case.
