Sentence of Hamilton,s Murderers.

At eleven o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the courtroom was almost packed
with those anxious to hear sentence
passed upon the prisoners. The court
was promptly opened and Judge Hous-
Ion inquired Of Wesley Clarke il he
had ANYTHING TO say why the sentence
of death should hot be pronounced up
on him?, Clarke replied Yes sir, il
YOU will let ne tell the truth. don't
know ANYTHING about the killing of
Mr.. Hamilton, and il | am hung for il,
as | believe | will be. Won will hang M
Innocent man., | did not sec Mr.,

after il occurred. The blood that was
found on my coat was from game !
killed on Wednesday while out hunt

be proven. The blood on my boots
came there from a COW that was killed
by the train, and Mr.. Oliver had me-
and some of the boys to haul it away

ell upon him, he answered. Moth
ing to saw" Harrison had pleaded
guilty, and furnished principal tcsti-
mony to convict Clarke, and will also
probably to convict Sims Ward, if he
should be captured before the day OF
execution.
The sentence was then pronounced
by Judge Houston in a very impress
i've manner, fixing the day of hanging
on Friday, March 22nd, seven weeks
hence, and.tho prisoners were remand
cd to Jail,
Before the adjournment Of the court
Judge Houston, in n brict address 10
the many present, took occasion IN
highly appropriate language TO thank
The entire people of the county upon
the wisdom and forbcarance displayed
by them since the awfnl tragedy oc-
cured. lie complimentcd them upon
their loyalty to the law, under most
aggravated circumstances. and con-
graduated the city, county and State
upon the good order that had been
maintained throughout the severe or
deal through which they hnd been
called upon to pass. lie said it was a
high compliment TO our people, and
would be so regarded everywhere
abroad, that we preferred dispensing
Justice through the channels Of the
law and the courts TO mob violence
aud disorderly and unlawful conduct.
His remarks were listened to with
b~rrathless silence and marked mlcn-
ton by all.--Aberdeen Examiner.

Is. Is. Is. CompanyAMy DEAK SIR:
] take great pleasure in acknowledging
the great benefit my wife has derived from
yonr great and wonderful medicine, Is. T..
B. For two years she was a great suf-
ferer from Scrofula, or some blood dis
case which had lain dormant all her life.
We had attention from some of the most
skillful physicians in the country, but all
to no effect, until we had all despaired of
her ever recovering. Her mouth was one
solid ulcer, and for two months or more
her body was broken out with sores until
she lost a beautiful head of hair, also eye
lashes and eyebrows in fact, she seemed
to be a complete wreck.
Now comes the great secret which |
want all the world TO know. That three
bottles of Blood Balm medicine has done
the work which would sound incredible to
any one who did not know it TO be so.
To-day my wife is perfectly healthy and
clear from any scrofulous faint, and she
now has a three-month-old babe, also per.
fectly healthy. Very respectfully
H. L. CASSIDY.
