Another ball game between
Webster and Bristol took place here
last Saturday. The Bristol boys
had an imported pitcher and were
going to "mop the earth" with our
boys. Though Bristol was at the
bat four times and our boys three,
when the game stopped on account
of the rain, the score stood FIVE
to i've. Had it not been FOR the
sickness of two or three of our boys
they wouldn't have gotten score.
As it was, they got what they did
by bull luck and hot playing.
The election next Tuesday is
for a County Superintendent of
Schools and for a Sub-Director and
Treasurer for each sub-district in
the county. As there are ninety
districts in the county, the impor-
lance of the election becomes APP
parent to even the most superficial
observer; and yet, but very little is
said about it, many voters never CIV
ing it thought. When the time
comes for the county election voters
recognizes the Importance of OBJ
tanning good, reliable men, and it
takes business of more than ordin-
airy Importance to keep citizens
away from the polls, because these
are the men to whom arc entrusted
the county finance. In respect to
the financial interests of the people
the election of next Tuesday is of
almost as much consequence as the
one later on-when it is understood
shat these school officers handle
over $40, 900 of the peoples money
yearly, it emphasizes the duty of
every voter in the county to be at
the polls next Tuesday; and when
to this is added the fact that this
election concerns the future well
being of -FOUR children, your fail
ure to vote will be almost Grimm
ally reprehensible. BE on hands.

That it stands our people in

| 81, 500 each to defray the travelling
expenses of a set of Judges who
draw their salary from the United
Statss Government is preposterous.

Proprietors Britton Nursary.

Great excitement has prevailed
in this vicinity during the past
week, over the action of the Ak
erson boys, who reside near Butler,
in moi tagging all their personal
and real property and then skip
ping the country with 81 horses,
all mortgaged, having previously
sold all personal property, agricul-
tural machinery, &C., also mortga-
ged. They conducted their opera
tions so that ''f&r ways that were
dark" they were decidedly peculiar.
For instance, one Of them would
buy horse and borrow SO much
money, pledging it as security; he
then sold it to his brother who also
made raise OH it and then turned
it over to the next one in the secret
and so on-in this manner. selling
to each other and mortgaging each
lime for loans Of money, one ebay
horse, seyea years old, was mort
gagged nine times, and if he hadn't
got lame there is no telling how
deep they would have covered him
with first mortgages! They were
also agents for agricultural machin-
cry and wagons, and they sold har-
vesters, mowers, drags, hay rakes,
and raised money on the notes and
mortgages thus obtained. During
the week preceding their retire
ment from active husinas IN this
county, thoy sold wagons and ma
ehinery ut what they could GET
They skipped out on Thursday.

good their escape. The whole af
fair is so mixed up that it is lmposs
sihle to get at the full amount of
loss, but it is estimated that some
$4,000, distributed among the
loan agencies and banks of this
county and the machine agencies,
will about cover it,

Arrested for Murder.

BONHAM, Tex, March 9-4Special.] +
A sensation has been caused here by
the arrest, at Ravenna, of Joel Barnett,
one of the wealthiest and best known
farmers of this county, together with
six of his grown sons all charged with
a murder committed in 1886. The
victim was an old man named Morgan,
a hermit who was killed for his money,
about S1,3O0. Soon after the murder
was committed suspicion fastened upon
Will Grier, who had fled the country,
but was subsequently arrested and is
now in Jail in this place. No one sus-
pected the Barnetts of completely in
the crime until a few days ago, when it
was rumored that man named Adams
was summoned before the Grand Jury
where he stated that he saw the murder
committed by Barnett and his sons
The arrest has caused much excitement.

What Am / to DoP

The symptoms of biliousness are un-
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and diarrhea or constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often hemmOrrhOids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or fiat
ulence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect cure try Green's August Flower
1t costs but trile and thousands
attest its efficacy. (2)

Mrs. Christiana Neis, a widow aged
81 who lived with her daughter, Mrs;

soon after her departure, Mrs: NelS
went to Mays drug store at NO. ~

worth of Paris Green, which she sald
she wished to mix with lard for the
purpose of experimenting on rats, as
She had before used it successfully III
killing potato bugs. She gave her cor
rect name and address to the druggist
and secured the poison. AT O'Clock
in the evening her son-in-laW returned
home from work and found the old lady
very ill. A tenant of the lower floor
of the house suggested that she might
have taken something which did not
agree with her, as he had seen her IN
the yard vomiting about two hours be-
fore. The man went for a physician,
and in a short time DR.. Stevenson was
on hand. The physician found bottle
of Paris green still half full, and an
emetic and proper antidotes were ad-
ministered. Meantime the woman's
daughter returned from her visit, and
everything possible was done to coun-
teract the effects of the poison. The
drug had accomplished its fatal work,
however, and after several hours of in
tense suffering the woman died
Patrolman Anamyer was notified OF
the suicide this morning and the cOro-
ner sent for. Mrs. Neis leaves three
children who reside in Sandusky, be-
sides the daughter with whom she
lived in this city. The cause of self

New YORK, March 8.-[Special. +
At meeting of the Harlem Democratic
Club ID. NJ. CarvalhO offered a resOlu-
ton. recommending Abram 5. Hewitt
as the Democratic standing bearer in
the impending Presidential contest
The preamble states the necessity of
placing in the field a Democrat of the
largest experience i'll public affairs, a
statesman of pronounced ability, and
unquestioned integrity and patriotism.
The resolution sets forth: THAT in
the person of Abram S. Hewitt we rec
Ognize all the requirements aforesaid,
and look upon him as the ideal candi-
date for the position of chief magistrate
of thirty-eight States and 6O,OOO,OOO
people" THAT with such lead
er the Democracy would be certain
to achieve not only victory but also the
glory OF adding another illustrious page
to the history of the various Presidents
of the United States, and that the Har-
lem Democratic Clue, ever true to the
principles of its organization, do here
by recommend to the delegates of the
Democratic Convention of 1888, as its
choice for president, the name Of
Abram S. Hewitt, and that the secre-
tary be directed to send copy of these
resolutions to each of the delegates to
the National Convention" The resO
lutions were referred to the committee
on political reform, who are to report
at the next meeting of the club.

sion bill "by request is not now as re-
quested the Senate having changed it
from general bill to special bill for

the extension be submitted to a vote Of

This is just what the DEMOCRAT in
sisted upon, but not at all what the

men wanted it left entirely to the
County Commissioners, where two is a
majority, and where they thought their
scheme was all right.

THE DEMOCRAT suggests that the

relations between The two Journals
might lead to disastrous results, and
surely the question of the standing of

not warrant such state of things.
