ROB WRIGHT.

R,h Wmalt. wlcse case hes
gwen rise to so much discussion
during the last few months has AT
last been g lid by his sentence
b 'inr commuted from death TO life
Imprisonment in The penltenllarN.
The Governor committed his sen
tence oD recommendation OF the
Lieutenant Governor and Attorney
General. The shcuti will carry
him to Baton Ron9e so soon as he
has retleyed official notice OF the
communication of the sentence,
which he expects daily. So thus
ends the last act of ore Of the
most sensational murder trials
ever had in Claiborne parish. 1t
will be remembered that Tom
Bugg, Bill Ware, Eirge White and
Rob Wright were indicted about
y year ago for numbering Bill E,,.
wards, all colored. Bill Ware was
convicted of manslauyhter and
sentenced TO ten years in the
penitentiary, and has since died,
Tom Bugg was convicted Of muir
DER wiLhnut capital punishment
and sentenced TO the penitcntiary
for life. N'rge " hltc after three
trials was acquitted, and Rob
Wright was convicted OF mursEer
with an unqualified verdict.
Wright, who has been the central
figure in the episode is y Baptist
preacher about 30 years old and
GaS bo:::.: md RAISED in The .tat,t
OF Georgia. IIc had lived IN the
neirhborhood of Gordon 70" several
wears preceed;ng the assassination
of Edwards but had rcyer before
been arrested for crime. 1t will be
remembered that the only evidence
against him on the trial was his

The topic of The day is to what
extent the damage done by the
recent cold blizzard. 1t is thought
that the entire fruit crops are de-
stroyed. A great deal of cane
seed was lost. A great many per-
sons had torn up their beds and
had begun planting. Some are
grinding up their cane and MAX
ing molasses.
We regret to announce the
death Of Mrs. Matte Moreland,
daughter Of Mr.. t. A. Watson.
Her remains were inferred in the
Tulip cemetery ON. the evening of
the 3rd inst We sympathize with
the bercaved family and relatives.
Prof. Davies is occupying the
Salem parsonage. The Professor
is building up fine school at that
place. We wish him great sue
cess. The school at Volentlne
School House is also moving on
in the right direction.
Mrs. S. G. W. Hutchinson, who
has been spending several months
ut her daughters In CIarksyille,
Texas, has returned home.
The Farmers Uuion met at Tu-
lip on the End, inst, the. regular
stated time. In the absence Of
the President, Mr.. I. A. Watson,
the Vice President called the I'm
ion to order. The regular order
OF business was taken up and dis
posed OF; two aesessions added.
The Union then proceeded TO tile
election of delegates to the Par
ish Union, which meets at Tulip
ON Thursday, April 3rd. The
delegates elected were: w. j.
Leslie, w. B. Davis and K. F.

It Is that impurity in the blood, which, a.

causes painful running sores on the zrms,

deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can

BY taking Hoods Sarsaparllla, which, BY
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,

medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. Eyou suffer from

"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
alous sore neck from the time she was 22months
old till she became six years Of age. Lumps
formed IN her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became

fEsiHiE CITY, l. T.. July "A. lceo
The Delaware district Farmers
Alliance and Industrial union,
No. 6, met in regular session
July 10th at the hall of Ballard
union, No. 107. The attendance
was large and enthusiastic; thir-
teen of the sixteen sub-unlons of
the district were represented by
full delegations. While the men,
bers of this order do not wage war
in particular against anyone, they
propose ~ cooperation to pl otect
themselves against the impositions
of others. The reports of the
work of the various committees
and their labors in this respect
were highly satisfactory. The
following is a list of newly slec-
ed officers:
J. D. Tabler. of Sager union,
No. 106, reelected president; Riley
Copeland, Hickory Grove union,
No. 134, vice-prssident; A. II.

union, No. los, treasurer; J. B.
Barlow, Wyandotis union, No. 139,
lecturer; D. A. Wilson, Ballard
union, No. 107, chaplain.
The growth of the order in Della
ware district has been rapid and
at present embraces a majority Of
the leading farmers Of this section.
The instution is strictly nom
political, although If occasion de-
mand is liable to make it extreme
ly interesting to anyone of either
party who might dare to impose
upon the rights or privileges of its
principles and members.
The meeting throughout was
marked by harmony and a ceep
earnestness upon the part of its
members. The place OF meeting
selected for next quarterly session
was the hall of Hudson creek ua-
ion, No. los, Oct. 9th, 1890.

EDITOR CHIEFrATN:-I have been
a close reader Of your paper for
half a dozen years and have al
ways found much to admiresin the
manner in which it is conducted.
| am not, however, very favorably
impressed with the mental calibre
of all of your correspondents. l
do not allude to those who con fine
themselves to reporting the news
of their various localities, but on
ly to such as take upon themselves
the task of telling how the govern
ments of the Cherokee natisn and
OF the United States should be
conducted. A perusal Of several
communication which have ap-
peared lately imPel me to believe
the authors are not capable of sue
eessfully conducting a peanut
stand, let alone discoursing intel
ligently upon statecraft. Don't
forget that you are an editor, re-
sponsible for the course and stand
ing of your paper, and whenever
in your judgment an article is bet
ter suited for the waste basket
than your columns, let it go that
way. A nice column Of newsy
clippings is always to be preferred
to a senseless communication.

Turned Into a Fin Cushion.

There is In Georgia Confederate
General who wRs literally shot full Of
pins during the late war. Ho was nm ex-
temporizod pin cushion, but tho pins
eavcd his life. On one occasion the
General was lying in his tent at night.
The Fcdorals were near enough to shoot
into the camp.
1t is said he had just finished letter
home and had thrown himself down for
n few hours rest before the hot work that
would begin in tho early morning, when
pingl mimic bullet from n sharpshoot-
cr's rife sped through the tent and struck
the General in his left side. The blow
stunned him, and he lay as dead for a
few moments.
When he recovered consciousness he
felt stinging pain in his breast, and,
tearing open his shirt, found that the ball
had struck package of pins his wife
had given him, thinking they would be
needful in those days when there was nc
one to sew and patch, and had driven
every one OF them into his flesh. They
had saved his life, but he was walking
cushion, bristling with pin-heads.-

Alpine Funerals.

A clew to the original of tho Irish
wake and other funerals pomposities may
be found in the funeral customs of somd
of the Alpine regions. The circle OF
acquaintance of the more prospcroul
people of the villages often extends oveg
miles of country; and the friends of del
ceased proprietor willmake long journeys
to attend his funeral. The dictates of bosi
pitality require that their physical wants bd
provided for, or, if not, they will meet
at the inn and naturally have something
very like feast. In some districts, even
before death occurs and the patient is in
his last agonies, all around are informed
of the fact, and expected to make d
ceremonial last visit. They enter thd
sick room, take look at the sick man
and go their ways. After death, wheil
the body has been prepared for burial;
a table is spread, covered with refresh
ments, and open house is held till the
funeral.
