the Identification Of the man. The
place chosen for the murder could
not have been bettered--a GesOlate,
swampy country in every direction,
no habitation within three or four
miles, and no one liable to pass for
months, unless a hunter chanced that
way. About a year ago a man was
found dead near the same spot, and
the cause of his death mas never been
learned. At Delaplaine, a deserted
town, a Young man was found dead
about a year and a half ago; his
death still remains a mystery, The
charred ends of a mans bones were
discovered about one and one half
miles south of this place about four
months ago; also a lot of parasols,
handkerchIefs and socks, evidently a
peddlers pack, near them, and moth
ing has been done towards clearing
up this mystery. This makes four
mysterious deaths within eighteen
months, and all of them within 100
to l50 feet of the Iron Mountain
track and between Delaplame and
Peach Orchard.

QUESTION::

Upon the arrival of the Hon. r,
O. Mills at BateSylIle last Tuesday,
the may or issued proclamation
announcing the notable event and
asking that the business men turn
out and honor the distinguished
Texan by giving him audience, etc.
The printer who set up the dodgcr
dated it Sept. Z, 1890, instead of
Oct. I. Now in view of the date of
the proclamation, and the previously
announced time of the speaking,
was the printer a month behind, or
a month ahead Of time ? Of course
the error was an oversight; but the
question was sprung by those who
attended the speaking from Evening
Shade relating the Incidents of the
trip, And if the reader will think
over the matter the question is not
so easily decided. We hold that the
date was just a month behind.
