follow who manslsugbtered - that's
what we must call it now-Davis at
st. Petersburg, will not hang. The
pardon board commuted bis sentence
to life imprisonment on Monday, the
day before the hanging was to have
taken place. In the light of the re.
cent acquittal of Mrs. Dinsmore, the
verdict of the pardon board is not a
surprise.

want of snow.
1t was two years Monday that the
community was horri6ed by the news
Of the Everhart murder; that is, the
murder occurred on Monday, although
the 9th was the date. And yet the
public is as much in the dark as ever
as to the perpetrator of the frightful
butchery. The horror of the crime is
nearly equaled by the success with

cred up their tracks.
MFR. Lewis Keister, of East Hick-
ory, was in town yesterday and gave
US q pleasant call. Mr.. Keister has

when they get SO much good reading

the Office chance once in awhile.
