NASHVILLE, Tenn, April Is Mcdowell Craw-
ford, prominent citizen of Williamson county.
was assassinated at 1890 yesterday. He had
visited Nolensville to secure his mall and was
returning to his home when the tragedy oc-
Cured. He had passed the old toll gate, four
miles from Nolensville, and riding in an
open buggy. alone. short distance from the
gate the Nolensvie & Chapel Hill mail COACH
containing number of ladies' passed him. The
next moment the driver of the stage coach heard
the crack OF a rifle. Turning to look back he
saw Crawford fall backward from his buggy
and lie PROSTATE in the middle Of the pike
Crawfords horse ran On, reaching home. Craw-
ford WAS dead before any from the stage
could get to him. Examination showed that
the bullet struck behind the right shoulder
blade and ranged upward to the neck. where it
struck the spinal chord, causing instant death.
This is the third time that attempt has been
made to assassinate him. The killing of Craw-
ford can, it is alleged, be traced back to one who
was suspected of attempting TO aesassinate him
three years ago. At that time he was ambushed
near Ellis's mill. about fire miles from Nolens-
vile, and was almost riddled with buckshot A
colored man named Newt Patton was arrested
and tried, but the evidence not sufficient to
convict him. 1t is alleged that he was the per-
petrator of yesterday crime, and warrant for
his arrest has been issued.

of George Heffner. at Eagle Point on the South
mountain, near Womelsdorf, this State, was
eating supper lightning struck the house. Two
distinct reports were heard, stroke going down
each of the two chimneys. Mary, the Oldest
daughter of the family, was sitting at the table
at the times The lightning tore up things in
the pantry and coming out struck into the shoes
the young girl had on her feet. TheSppers and
feet are blue and the skin ia torn off. When the
girl was stricken she had her hand on the door
knob, and in the other hand she held tunbler
OF water. Both hands are very weak and she is
unable to walk. In each of the shoes was a

Little Boy Blue.

The little toy dog is covered with dust.
But sturdy and stanch he stands.
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time when the little toy dog new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
NOW don't you go till come" he said;
And don't you make any noise."
So toddling off to his trundle-bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the old place.
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of a little face
And they wonder waiting these long years through
In the dust of that little chair.
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since ne kissed them and put them there.
