LAWRENCE AROUSED.
The Indignant Citizens Hold "a
Meeting, Recite Their Gricv-
ances i'm the Joe LOftin
Matter and Ask Their
Sheriff to Resign.
Also a Wholesome Warming tn
LOftin's Pals and Sympa-


The following resolutions were
adopted by citizens meeting held in
Monticello, Tuesday, Aug 18th, and
speak for themselves:
WHEREAS, We, the citizens of
Lawrence county, having found out
that it was not Joseph +. Loitin alone
that has given MS all the trouble that
we have undergone for the past IL or
| IL months, but men claiming the title
of citizens have harbOred and even
assisted him, either directly or indi-
rectly, i'll pcrpctrating his imhunIan
and bcinous acts, and now that We
have found out by diligent search aud
inquiry each and every one, both male
and female, white aud cOlorcd, that
is, or have been heretofore partlci-
pants in this lawlcssness, We, as citl-
zens, advise them to act i'll the future
as good citizens, or suffer the COnsc-
quences; and
WHEREAS, We feel very much ag-
grieved at the conduct of our Sheriff,
ID. NJ. Lee, for lying neutral for II
months, being almost daily informed
of j. E. LOftin's whereabouts, taking
no steps to arrest said }. +. Loftin
until some of our distressed citizens
pressed their services on him to hunt
down and arrest said fugitive when
he then privately deputized one h..
Il. Stringer to arrest said LOftin, who
wounded him in the combat 40 that
he could not have possibly escaped,
and was left under guard of one OF
Stringer's men until he could recruit
his force and attend to one OF his men,
who was also shot in the combat. In
the meantime, Loftin sent after our
Sheriff, ID. NJ. Lee, to come and pro
tect him-who disarmed private citl-
zens at the request of Loftin before he
would allow them to enter the house
where Loftin lay, allowing Joe Loftin
to retain his weapons, which consisted
of two shot guns, one SIX shooter and
one dirk knife. And we believe an
| injustice has been wrought by the
action of the Sheriff i'll this matter,
as Loftin should have been hanged
higher than Haman, which sentence
was pronounced by Judge Mayors;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the citizens OF
Lawrence county, ask ID. N. Lee to
resign his Office of Sheriff.
BE it further ResOlred, That all the
citizens of Lawrence county be request
ed to meet in Monticello, on the 10Th
day of August, 1888, at II o'clock,
a. III.
Resolred, That copy Of these res
olutions be published in the Lawrence
County Press.

 Is not more tenacious monster than malaria, whether it takes the form of chills and fever, bilious remittent, ague cake or dumb ague. Like the octopus of the story it clasps the victim in its tenta- culB, and folds him closer and closer in a horrible embrace Attacked with Hos tstter's Stomach Bitters, however, it gradually relaxes it's tremendous grip, finally abandons it, and the quondam sufferer, liberated at last, rejoces in the sense of new born freedom, engendered by the restoration of complete health. Dyspepsia, too, and constipation, those old and remorseless enemies of the hu- man family, give ground, and are finally driven from the field by this Napoleon of remedies, the greatest, the purest in the family pharmaoopceia. Rheumatism sue eumbs to it, so do kidney troubles. The nerves, when overstrained, regain quiet tude and vieor by its aid, and the ability to rest tranquilly and eat with zest are increased by it. Resort to it in time and avoid unnecessary suffering,

Many persons are erroneously la borng under the impression that the increased levy of one hundred per cent. or from g to S4, for road purpo- seS is the act of the Board of Superyi. sors. The increase IS chargeable to the Zulick legislature of 1887, as is also the additional fifty cent poll tax, winch is now S250, making the ag- gregate personal or per capita tax S6.50. We make the statement with the view of placing the responsibility where it belongs. Nor is this all that the immortal 14th would hays tax payers do, It has empowered the Su. pervisors of the several counties of the Territory to make 1t obligatory upon owners of lotSln unineorporatcd towns having 8 population of over five hun dred, in addition to the payment of a road tax, to grade and keep in repair so much of such street or highway as fronts their lot. Happily, the law IS not mandatory, and having discreet Board of Supervisors, those having hillside lots are not in danger of their houses being perched so high as to make ladder necessary to reach them.
