THE FIEND HANGED.
The Mob Wanted to Burn Him, but
Didn't Take Time.

BARDwELL, KY, July This is
the most exciting day ever seen in the
history of this peaceful little town.
All of the trains of last night and
this morning have brought in crowds
from the neighboring towns in Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Missouri. The
alleged murderer of the Ray girls says
his name is Charlie Miller, and is un-
doubtedly the same man who has been
burglariZing in the neighboring towns
of Fulton, Clinton and Milan for the
past two weeks. Six gold rings from
j. a. Porter's store in Clinton were
found in his possession after his ar
rest, smeared with Dirt and clotted
with blood, but were easily identified
by Porter, who is here.
The mob at 3:27 hung Miller to a
telegraph pole. The mob wanted to
burn him, but IN their anxiety and
haste they strung him up.

The FIX Sheriff of Yadkin County in
Trouble.

Ex-Sheriff Lakey, of Yadkin county,
is short SO, 900 in his accounts and the
county commissioners have taken
from him the tax books, upon which
there are some $1,000 of back taxes
due and uncollected.
Mr.. Lakey resides a few miles east
of Yadkinville upon a valuable farm
which he has conveyed to his bonds
men. who are liable for the shortage
in his accounts. He is a Republican
and is said to be very clever gentle
man, but he is illiterate and his short
age is thought to be due to this
fact and consequent mismanagement.
Two of Mr.. Lakey's bondsmen were
in the city Friday Messrs. Dave
Shore and w. II. Renigar. The for
mer is on his bond for S., 900 and the
latter for $1,000. An effort will be
made to collect ali the back taxes pos
sible, after which the bondslaen will
be required to put up the balance OF
the shortage.

In Tornadoes.

Those living in portions of our country
exposed to tornadoes will be glad to know
that scientists tell us there is always warn
ing of the approach of a tornado to those
that are observant Clouds may be seen
hurryiug together in the southwest and
west, low dull roar of the wind in those
clouds may be perceived, while there is a
great stiffness and sultry heat in the air;
all of which signs are sufficient to bid peo-
pie look for safety. This safety they will
never find in any easterly direction. One
who faces the cloud as it comes should
seek safety to the right. The only abso
lutte safety, however, is to be found under
ground, in the cellar of the house. If it is
a wooden house, the storm will whirl off
the beams and boards of the structure; but
if it is a brick or stone house, the shat
tered walls will only tumble in; the brick
or stone house, moreover, will fall sooner
than the wooden one, which yields and
gives. In the tornado countries, especially
in the more open portions, there should be
an underground place provided for refuge
with its roof arched and strengthened by
masonry and beams, so that it cannot be
broken IN bv ANYTHING heavy falling upon it.

In the ninth and tenth centuries the

leather thongs.

A Visit to the Home of Childhood.


In the dead past in lineal numbers
The Old Year just gone forever slumbers,
With all its joys, pleasures and emotions,
Its startling events and warm devotions
As a dream that around the memory plays
They have left sweet visions happy days;
Of reunions in familiar old places,
And fond recolleetions ofnow absent faces.
With what exuberance I travel'd TO gain
A vision Of Home of Childhood again;
And witness that spot of hallowed earth
Sacred to me as the land Of my birth.
AS neared that place a thrill of delight
Shed over my brain a refreshing delight,
But many scenes which memory had traced
Long years had changed or sadly eraeed.
That antique village, mistress of the plane,
In the vigor of youth still seemed to reign
Midst verdant undulating fields around
Where plenteous crops and rare fruits abound.
Silently she sat as hermitage
With the glow of youth on the face of age,
As contented in her lonely state
As the home of reeluse or celibate.
The aged found here an asylum and nome,
Here restless ambition ceased to roam;
Disappointments no longer disturbed the breast,
And from vain desires forever found rest.
To these abodes and once joyful places
1 looked for friends in the old Home places.
OF dear companions of youth and of play,
And those had mingled in life's young day,
Alas, alas, where were the dear ones knew?
Those had loved and those that were true?
Those that were allied by kindred and cares?
And those joined by the friendship of years?
The young and the old one by one had gone,
A remnant was left with sorrows alone,
Where the scars of age were plainly traced
On the face of youth which beauty had graced.
They fingered as in the twilight Of day,
When the rays of light are softly at play;
Leasurely counting the hours in their flight
That herald the gloom of the coming night
Sorrowfully from these grave scenes fed
To visit the silent mansions of the cad.
Where with meek reverence softly tread
Those desolate streets that amongst them led.
Where on marble monuments l read
The superscriptions for the sleeping dead.
Whilst beneath them lay in their silent Homes
My missing friends within those lowly tombs.
Then parting with those enfeebled by years.
With those bowed low with trials and cares,
With men who had battled the minions of STRIFE
And shared in the honors and glories life;
Beyond this realm of Death. sickness and pain,
May we all meet and live our lives again.
