A Hot Headed Marshal Kills . Good
Citizen.

Tuesday last q Marshal by the
name of Creekmore, shot and in.
stan:ly killed a Cherokee by the
name of Los Runyon.
There are many rumOrs afioat
regarding the particulars, and all
bear evidence that the affair was
a brutal one. The most reliable
information the Advocate can
CLEAN, is, that Creekmore was in
love with Miss Runy0n, . very
pretty Cherokee maiden. This
was very distasteful to the parents
especially Mr.. Runyon, who bit.
terly opposed Creekmore and for.
bade his daughter to have any
thing whatever to do with him.
Creekmore became very angry and
would often see the girl contrary
to the parents will. Tuesday il
seems that Creekmore was very
decided and made arrangements
to have the young lady to meet
him. RunyOn was notified of the
scheme concocted by CreekmOre
to entice his daughter from home,
and made preparations to meet
the determined lovers and defeat
their plan. At the appointed
time of the meeting; Runyon ap-
peard on the scene and offered u
parents objection. Creekmore
began to shoot at him and contin-
ued until his bloody work was ac
complished. 1t is said while Run
yOn was armed he made no at
tempt to fire on his assailant. Ran
yon was a very quiet law abiding
citizen and well respected by al
who knew him. He was 4 mem

Your Home Newspaper.

We clip the following from The
Atlanta Constitution. Every
word of it is trne.
"Where q man can not really af-
ford to take more than one news
paper, we say in all cand0r, that
one should be his home paper,
whether it be daily or weekly.
We mean what we say. A mans
first duty is to build up aud sus-
tain the enterprise which contrib
utes to the growth of the cOmmu-
nifty of which he is a part, and of
all enterprises the local newspa-
per is the best; no town can en-.
joy perfect prosperity without n
representative newspaper, sus-
tanned by appreciative citizens.
There is not newspaper in the
smaller towns of the State that
has the patronage it deserves.
With a few exceptions the testi.
mony of the editors is that they
are working "up hill" their labor
is great and it's rewards are small
And yet the weekly paper does
more for the town and people
than any other agency.
Newspapers are now publishing
at rates which are in the reach OF
all, and we do not believe that
there is a man anywhere in any
kind of business who is not fully
able to pay for two or more news.
papers. The press is a great edu.
Gator, and on that line alone his
money would be we'll invested.
The more papers with which he
surrounds himself, the greater will
be the benefits derived. But we,
for the reasons given, repeat that
if there be a man who is too poor
to patronize any other than his
home paper, that is the paper fol
his money, and may fortune in
crease his store.

Why Mr.. Holman Thinks the Secretary

THE REPUBLIC BUREAU:
Washington, d. c., May 81, 1S93.-
Representative McMillin OF Tennessee
was talking to Representative Holman
of Indiana yesterday. He detailed
the admiration he had for Secretary
Of Agriculture Morton, the reforms
that had been accomplished and the
brusque, hesrty, soulful manner in
which the ak was swung. "Morton
went Into the department." said Mr..
McMillin, "snd he found lot of COW
doctors who cured few beasts. but
drew th. salary of 81 800 . year with
regularity. He cut their heads all
off,
HE is a good man," said Mr.. Hol-
man.
"Looking through the pay accounts
Of the departments he found some 60

commonly called, said Mr.. MeMillin.
"Their business was to squint at pork
in the Western stock yards and they
did not earn the money that was paid
them or the half of 1t. He bounced
them ALL"
HE is a great man." said Mr.. Hol-
man.
"Then," continued Mr.. McMillin,
"he found lot of foresters, or people

campaign documents showing Grover

"He issued her discharge and some

what that meant and was told that

cure the attention of a physician
for them, because he had nothing
to pay with. Vaughan finding out

kill Gage, and was to pay HIM a
large sum of money to commit the
crime. Hamilton was not ac.

Fashion,s Gold Tipped Shoes.

In this year of 1893 gold, yellow, shin

yellow root of red evil, holds sway. In
the silver age we had combs and brush
es, buckles. toilet cases, picture frames
and other stuff cleaning with the paler
metal It wasn't rich enough for the
blood of New York. Gold has not dis
placed it here in the metropolis, but tri-
umphantly faupts itself above it.
A little time ago the satin slipper with
silver filagree toe and heel tip was quite
good enough for any one. But it only
cost from $50 to $40 Society insisted
on something more expensive, and now
New York's swell set rest satisfied as
they poke their gold tipped toes from
beneath Worth afternoon creations" :"
The gold tipped shoes are only for house
wear You don't see 'em on Broadway.
Their use is to make poor callers envi-
Gus, than which there can be no greater
happiness.
This is but one instance. The men are
as bad or worse, for pair of gold tipped
shoes at $3.50 are at least visible, and a
pair of $75 gold suspender buckles
haven't even that merit. The only use
for them is to show that one can stand
the pace.

Greek stoo,s and Chalrs.

The stools or chairs seen on Greek
vases are in great variety, and as regards
time cover period of many hundred
years. On some of them are figures seat
ed on blocks of stone or wood, but the
general form is that of stools with or
without the feet of animals, sometimes
having arms, but rarely backs. Some
times personages are seen on vases or on
statuettes seated ON chairs, with backs
of moderate elevation, curved in the
form of the ruff worn by women in the
time of Queen Elizabeth, which were
probably considered thrones. A form
of chair in common use among the Ro-
mans was that with curved arms, fa-
miiar to all those who have seen upon
the stage the Roman plays Of Shake
speare.
Chairs or stools Of other forms were
also in use among the Romans, made
often within a certain degree of art and
elegance and of costly materials. Sitting
at table the posture now considered the
most elegant and the most cleanly was
not practiced by them, the reclining at
titude corresponding moro nearly with
their ideas of ease and luxury.-San
