crisp before assistance could be rem

when death relieved her of her agonies.

the sympathias Of the entire communi-
ty in their sad misfortune. The re-
mains were inferred at the Adams
burying ground hear Beverley Satur-
day.

narrowly escaped being gored to
death by Holstcin bull Sunday,
while in his lot. The animal for
s)me cause became infnriated and

carried Esq. Winfree into the house.

vhsy Die Hard, But Must Die.
1t comes pretty straight that the
Republicans will have meeting this
week and put out full ticket for the
approaching city election. They are
already laying their plans and while
many of them "know when they have
had enough" the Office holders are
willing TO risk one more knocking out,
rather than quietly let go their hold
upon the public teat. The scheme is
to run full ticket, but no hopes are
entertained of defeating the Demo
cratic nominees in tho Second, Fourth
or Sixth wards, All efforts will be
devoted to holding their own in the
Fifth and trying to defeat Dennis,
Petree and Withers in the First, Third
and Seventh. In the First there is
but one white Republican who is
eligible and hs has assured the KEN
rucnAs that he will most positively
not be a candidate. In the Third
there is safe and very respectable
Democratic majority and Judge Pc
tree will besides get a number OF Re-
publican votes. He can't be defeated
In the Seventh ten out Of the forty
Republicans in the ward have public
ly pledged themselves to support the
Democratic nominee. The ward is,
