The Old, Old Story.

Conway Star.
The lightning rod fends who have
been plying their vocation in this Sec
ton the past two weeks, are getting in
their work on some of our farmers.
At least, we Judge so from what a
farmer of near Anness reports. He
says two weeks ago one of them
came to him and by smoOth-tongued
talk, induced him to have his dwell
ing house rodded, thesame to be rodded
in good style at nominal cost if he
would tell his neighbors that the entire
cost to him was but $3.50 He agreed
to it and the contract was signed,
which was in effect that the first 80
feet was to be put up free of charge,
and for all over 80 feet charge of rs
cents per foot was to be made. This
seemed to be plain enough, but in the
contract was an apparently insignif-
cant clauSe-that the house was to have
four points and that points and braces
were to be counted as twenty feet each.
The rods were to be placed on the
house the next day, but that evening
one of the number was arrested for
attempted rape, and the work has not
as yet been performed. This gave the
farmer an opportunity to figure a little,
when he found that the contract could
easily be construed to make the points
and braces alone count up to
32O feet, giving three braces,
the usual number to each point, which
would cost him the neat sum of S24O for
the points and braces alone. Then is
when he began to open his eyes and
Immediately sought the advice of his
neighbors and we opine that when
those lightning rod fellows come
around that neighborhOOd they will re-
ceive warm reception.
This again brings to mind the oft re-
peated advice to farmers to deal with
home merchants. men with whom you
are acquainted, and with such men as
you know are trustworthy and honest.

A MURDER AVENGED.
Execution of ]. e. Speers in Arkansas
for Killing g. G. Hunt.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l
LITTLE Rock, ARK, May 2S.-J.
E. Speers was hanged at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at Magnolia, for
the murder of G. G. Hunt last July.
The drop did not break Speer's neck,
but all motions of the body ceased in
nine minutes. AT first he was calm
and collected, but when he stepped
upon the trap he completely broke
down and had to be held up by the
guards,
The murder for which Speers was
hanged was a brutal one, and he was
placed in the Arkansas penitentiary
at the time of his arrest to prevent a
lynching. Speers was a white man.
He leaves a wife and child. He was
vicious In character, and bore the
record of dissipated life on his
countenance. He was tried in Co.
lumbia county on a change OF venue
from Ouachita county, where the
crime was committed. Gov. Eagle
was at the depot yesterday when the
Deputy Sheriff left Little Rock with
Speers. He asked the official If there
was any doubt of Speers' guilt. He
was assured that there was none. No
effort was made by Speers' friends, if
he had any, to save his life.

WORK OF INCENDIARIES.
The Knott County Court House
and Jail Burned.
The Object Was to Destroy the Records,
- But Fortunately They Were Saved
By Prompt Action.

Special to the Leaf Oh ronicle.
JACKSON, KY, MAY 28.--The
Knott county courthouse and jail,
at Hindman, and the large residence
and barn of John M. Bailey, were
burned at three o'clock yesterday
morning. The fire began in a small
room formerly used as store, near
Bailey's dwelling. The Jail was sit
uated between Bailey's residence and
the courthouse.
There is no doubt OF the fire being
the work of an incendiary. In
March last the school-house was set
on tile and burned, with an adjoin-
ing dwelling. The purpose was to
burn the town In order to destroy
the court. house with the records, as
several men were indicted for killing
Deputy Sheriff Artrip.
A short time ago the same build
ing that was set on fire yesterday
morning was found on fire, but the
fire was put out. This is, therefore,
the third attempt to burn the court
house. e. p. Hix and Shade Combs,
Jr., were arrested for burning the
school-house, and were held to
answer at the June term of court.
Hix is in Jail, and Combs is out on
bond.
The records of the court were saved,
SO that Judge Lilly will be able to
hold court next week in the old
wooden courthouse. AS yet no clew
has been found to the perpetrators Of
this last deed. The courthouse was
a brick building, erected In 1890, and
cost $1,000. 1t is not paid for, and the
building of another will fall heavily
on the people.
Deputy Sheriff Artrip was very per-
sistent in arresting the proprietors of
"Blind Tigers" and because of this
he was killed. One of Artrip's mur-
derers Is in the penitentiary, and
others are indicted. The danger to
officers Is one reason the laws are not
more rigidly enforced in the noun
tains.
