issues. "Bet.er" hardly expresses
it-rather, we should say, far

besides very fine plate of the
late James Wick and his three sons
who now own and manage his
large business. These features
must make the Floral guide valu-
able to their many thousands of
customers in this country.
We also notice that Wick returns
to the plan started by the founder
of the business years ago, OF offer
ing cash prizes at the State Fair.
One would think they were little
out Of their heads to offer to the
public such a work as the Guide
free, for that is what it amounts to,
when they say it will be sent on
receipt Of fifteen cents, aud that
certificate good for fifteen cents
worth of seed will be returned with

Moger a terrific blow in the face
with a "sandbag." 1t knocked the
young man TO the ground senseless,
and the garroter went through him,
taking several dollars but leaving
twenty cents in change. A Record

man in his room last evening and
found him in pitiful condition.
Both his eyes are swollen and

saws he does not remember how he

The political murder OF the Rep.
John n. Clayton, in Arkansas, has
drawn such widespread attention,
that from the proportions OF a
State and sectional disgrace it has
assumed the Dimensions OF IA.
tional reproach and shame. 1t was
once an American boast that no
mans safety was imperiled in this
country because of political opinion,
but what has become of our boasted
freedom OF speech, if any honor
able and prominent man can be
assassiuated with impunity by po-
litical cut-throat opponents, because
he happens to stand in the way of
their partyf The Legislature and
the Governor of Arkansas have at
tempted to save the reputation of
the State by offering rewards for
the discovery OF the murderers, but
in the district where the crime was
committed there was an apparent
acquiescence in the Infamous and
bloody deed, for not note of pro-
test or Indignation was heard from
the people after the event. There
is no prospect that the guilty part
les will ever be brought to justice.
