| can cure the sick more speedily without

Flowers practice 10 that he never asks "A
patient to tell him his trouble, but accur-
ately describes PERSONS disease with
out being told. DR.. Flower is
the hysiclan who cured Mrs A. q.

and helpless from paralysis for 20 years, a
man blind for II years restored to signt in
day, IA large tumor removed in an hour, 49,
all without medicine or surgical operation
would suggest the dawn of new method
of healing, or the restoration of apostolic
times
Boston Daily Globe: "Dr II. C. Flower,
in many ways, is the most wonderful ply
stefan living. His practice for years has
excelled that of any physician in this coun-
try. The sick from all parts OF the country
throng his offices, while he and his numer-
our associates devote their entire time to
curing them Many of DR.. Flowers's cures
Gre regarded by many as miracles, ard
though the doctor denies that they arr any
thing Of the kind, he rsfrains from explain

gins new era in medicine. ado.

One more hanging, aud the occurrence
will DO noted in Il five line local. There
were good many people in town last Fri
day, of course only few to see the hang.
ing, as only few can see it. The Pckens
Guards OF Dacusyille were out, about twcn-
ty-hyc strong: in tnl! uniform under COM
mand of Lieut.. w. A. Hester. The
guards wcro stationed at convenient dis
tances about the Jail. Ton. Brock, the
doomed man, had been visited during the
morning by his mother and other re'ativcp
His mothor was still with him ut l1:15,
when the sheriff entered the prison and
found Tom kneeling by the bedside in ST.
lent prayer. He called his attention TO the
reading OF the death warrant, at the con-
clusion OF which, he was told, II he was
ready, to come ON. He went of. :, But Tom
never got ready. lie seemed to be honest
with himself and never claimed that he
made any progress towards conversion.
At this time he seemed to realize his I'M
pending fate, and he kept UP his silent
praying as indicated by the moving Of his
lips. Ills hands and feet were securely
tied, after he was put in position on the
Sallows, tie black cap was drawn over his
face and at 1890 the death trap fell. The
drop WAS about seven feet, yet the neck
was not broken, but death resulted in
about fifteen minutes. In eighteen min
utcs his body was cut down and laid in the
collin.
Thus Tom Brock paid the penalty for
killing Jcrrc Hughes, the town marshal OF
Easlcy, on the night of the 23d OK last
June. lie never intended to kill Hughes,
but saw him whore hc expected to see An
dy Carson, a negro with whom he had, a
short time before had a difficulty. lie raised
his gun AMI fred thinking he was shooting
Andy Carson. He inlended TO kin aud
killed, SO he had to pay the penalty. Tom
Brock Was not fool hy any means, but he
vas not smart. lie never did understand
tic gravity OF the situation. uc made one
miSotep and there was 10 one to arrest his
downward course. Ills mother was only a
few feet away when the drop fell. She
cried and screamed for II Grey for her pCor
boy, and for many minutes refused TO be
c0miortcd. >lier very soul seemed to be
Wrung with anguish, and her heart seemed
to hc broken and bleeding. Though more
demonstTa.iyc, her grief is what might
have been expected of any intelligent and
aTcctioDate mother. Her sister was with
her and offered what poor consolation she
could.
The body Of Tom Brock was turned over
to his people for burial. Thus ended the
second lc&al execution in the county OF
FiCkcE3.
