and made his escape. If he is captured he
will likely be lynched. AS to the fighting
proclivities Of the people of that section,
the dispatch goes on to say On the wa
tiers of Twelve Pole, near Catlettsburg,
Richard Evans shot and killed John Brew
er, son of Calvin Brewer, with a Winches-
ter rifle, over a trivial matter. Evans has
not been arrested and the authorities 90
not modest him. Reuben Baisden and
Samuel Peterman got into q difficulty on
the Blackberry Fork last Thursday and
fought it out with knives. The particu-
lars of the difficulty are not known. Bats
den killed his antagonist and was badly
stabbed himself, probably fatally. The
latest from the Hatfeld-McCoy seat OF war
is that the Hatfelds' rendezvous has been
discovered, and the citizens committee
are in hot pursuit.

"To-DAY THE CONTRACT Is ENDED
Harper Bostick, better known as "Uncle
HARPER Pickens," died at "Edgewood" on
Thursday last, and was buried at Macedo-
MIA Church on the following day. He
was the body servant of the late Gov. +.
w. Pickens from their boyhood until the
death of the governor twenty years ago.
The funeral was preached by George Nor,
gan, another trusted servant of the great
and good man. George in his remarks,
and with great feeling, narrated this /:
"When the Governor was on his death
bed, he summoned Uncle Harper and my
self to his side, and said: Harper you
have been good and true towards me, and
l want you to promise to stick to my wife
and daughter as long as you shall live,
and l want them to stick to YOU Uncle
Harper grasped his dying masters hand
in both his and gave the promise. This
was twenty years ago; and to-day ends
the contract. And (pointing to Mrs. Pick
ems, who, accompanied by her daughter,
sat near the coffin, and who is in deep
mourning for a sister, it has been faith
fully and ~affectionately kept on both
Sides" This aged and pious man, who,
up to three months back, had been ever
helpful and watchful, was in the eighty
ninth year of his age. God rest his faith

ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED.

Corporal Fair, of the Penitentiary guard re-
turned from Charlotte to Columbialas Thurs
day night, says the correspondent of the Ne~s
and Courier, with George Partlow, an escaped
convict. Partlow was convicted of grand lar
ceny at Yorkville, in November, 1886, and was
sentenced by Judge Aldrich to three years i'm
prisonment in the P%enitentiary. He escaped
from Pringle's phosphate works last Novem-
Der, and was recaptured about a week ago at
Charlotte, N. c., on suspicion of having COM
United arson in York county. The proof in
the arson case not being sufficiently clear, he
was returned as stated to the Penitentiary.

THE CHESTER FAIR The
annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Agricultural, Mechanical and H%orticultur-
al Association of Chester, York, Lancaster
and Fairfield counties, was held in Chester
on the 18th instant. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: Jesse
H. Hardin, President; John Bratton, John
Irwin, J. S. Bratton and J. w. Dunovant,
Vice-Presidents; R. T. Mockbee, T. J..
Cunningham, J IS. Withers, O. A. Wylie
and S. M. Wylie, Directors; E. T. Atkin-
son, Secretary and Treasurer. The report
of the President showed an encouraging
condition of the association. Its indebted
ness is about s1,4O0, but this is easily pro-
vided for, as the property of the associa-
ton is valued at about $4,000.

CRAVING CALDER.

Dispatches of last Saturday from the
localities named convey a terrible story OF
suffering and distress: -,
MINNEAPoLIs, Minn.-This is the cold
est day ever known here. Last night rell-
able thermometers showed 490 below and at
I this morning the standard Government
thermometer showed 400 below, the lowest
that can be registered upon it. There was
a dense fog this morning which is now
lifting. A dispatch from Tower, ninety
miles north of Duluth, says the boarding
house of Nelson BarnabX. was burned en-
Friday night. 1t was a rickety structure
and burned so rapidly that it was with
difficulty that anyone escaped. Many OF
the inmates jumped from the upper stories,
but ten persisted in the flames: Two other
boarding houses were burned, but the in
mates escaped. The pecuniary loss is $l2,-
600. The mercury was 5S0 below zero, and
absolutely nothing could be done to extin-
guish the flames.
MILLBANK, Dak.-Two passenger trains
from Minneapolis that had been ~biockaded
reached here this morning, the first from
the east since the 10th. The conductor
reports drifts as, high as the telegraph
poles.
OMAHA.-A dispatch from Omaha says
that during the past 1orty-elght hOur a
large number of kilograms have been re-
ceived at the Union Pacific headquarters,
stating that the coal cars of the company
have been sacked by the farmers in the
western part of the State. There is great
scarcity of coal along the line of the road
in Western Nebraska, and the inhabitants,
during the recent blizzard, have taken
forcible measures to replenish their stock
of fuel. On Wednesday last n hundred
men took possession of two cars loaded
with coal at Coal and the performance
was repeated yesterday at Shalton. SINH
lar occurrences are reported from Gibbons
and kearney.

IN answer to several enquiries con-
Il corning Whale Boat Frames, we
have now in course of construction,
3 Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 80 feet

are rapidly getting thereto look
after the small things. our average
wealth VIII be largely increased.
IF am right IN this observation,
each farmer can apply this much of
the remedy in himself Again,
farmers must meet combination by
combination. As We must pFobably
continue to sell our products at
cheap prices, We must institute
means to bHy what We need atcheap
| prices BY combination and con-
centration NE shall develop traders
lIindependent of the Combinations
and trusts, WHO win become COM
petitors of these monopolies of our
trade. As some of the evil powers
I have enumerated can only be
overcome by governmental action,
we must demand for our class
representation in Congress and in
the General Assembly somewhat
in proportion 20 our numbers. With
law making bodies thus eoDstitnted,
the unjust and unequal taxation in
didicated can be remedied. Rail-
roads, grain elevators, stock yards
and other kindred interests can be
regulated. We can
HAVE VOICE s
in tariff legislation and insist that
our rights and interests shall be
considered as we'll es those of the
manufacturer. We shall insist, when
we have the opportunity to make
ourselves heard, that the various
manufacturing industries shall not
stop production to enhance an ex-
tortionate price
at is time, farmers Of Illinois,
that we reasoned from our own
standpoint. If government boun-
ties are legitimate, it is time the
farmers were protected But we do
not ask projections. We ask that
the government shall cease to givo
bounties to other classes at our ex-
pense. We ask that tho govern
ment shall cease to legislate. for
monopolists who have already been
too long subsidized, and shall legis-
late for the welfare of the majority.
Our demand is simply justice. In
this demand we believe that not
only the public interest will he
best served, but that the now SUBJ
sidized manufacturers will reap
rich reward. Small profits and
steady work will be better for tho
mill owners and their operatives.
We believe that the time has como
when American skill and enter
prise can compete with the world.
We believe that the limited market
of their own country-a result of
the present system-cannot long
remain satisfactory to the manufact-
uring interest. A worldwide mar
ket is the great need of the Ameri.
can manufacturer. Such world
wide competition will necessitatc
cheaper goods, but continuous oc-
cupation viii moro than compen-
safe for all the loss. The cheap
prices at which farmers sell their
products will be compensated by
cheaper lumber, salt, coal, sugar,
clothing, iron, farm machinery aud
other necessarics.p
In concluding, Senator Whiting
made stirring appeal to farmcrs
to insist on revenue reform. Be-
cause they sold their products so
cheaply selfpreseryation demanded
that they must buy cheapIy.
