day and Sunday last, Agood assemblage
OF hearers was present.
William Rowe, who is suffering from a
lingering disease, is no better. His dis
ease is the outcome of an attack of grip.
We join his many sympathizjng friends
in best wishes Tor his recovery,
Mrs. Mary Walker, an estimable old
lady OF this vicinity, who has been very
i'll for several days, is reported some bet
ter. She has many relatives and friends
who long to see her herself again.
The theory of some is that the fruit is
absolutely killed. but a close investiga-
ton has proven the assertion to he some
what exaggerated. A few live teaches
are found and great many apples were
not killed. However, while not killed,
they may be so badly affected that they
will prematurey drop off.
Harrison Walker, OF near Devider, who
was go badly hurt in a runaway accident
some time ago, is reported in very crit
ical condition, gangreen having set in.
His physicians recently held a consulta-
ton and decided to amputate the injured
| jaw, but under the protest OF Mr.. Walk
er's father, this idea was abandoned.
The progress of farming was greatlyre.
tarded by the vigorous Easter spell, al
though there has been good deal Of land
broken and some corn planted, Garden
vegetaton-especially that very forward
was almost totally ruined, However
under the effects OF good rams and mildel
weather vegetation generally is assuming
a more promising aspect

The following extract from the
Huntingdon Democrat will be APP
preciated by the Democracy of old
Benton, who are proud to know that
Tom RYE's merits and ability are
recognized and readily acknowledge
ed wherever he is known:
Over in the eleventh Judicial circuit

race for Encouragement. The candi-
dates are 4. c. Rye, of Camden, j. NJ.
Trout and B. J. Howard, of Jackson, and
d. A. McDougal, of Selmer. We had
the pleasure OF hearing them speak at
Camden last Monday, and forming their
acquaintances, aud we find them to be
MS clever Il set Of fellows as ever asked
fNyors at the hands Of the people. With
the exception of Mr.. Trout they are all
young men, and Mr., Trout is not an old
man by any means. They are compe.
tent to fill the position with credit, and
they are making the race upon highly
dignifed plan, Mr.. Rye is decidedly
the ablest speaker, and, while We dO not
wish to prejudice the cause of anyone,
impresses an audience as being the best
qualified for the position. There are
but few men in the State Of Tom Rye's
age that are his equal upon the stump
or at the bar, and he is fine all-around
fellow. He stands a fine chance for the
nomination, and his home county is en-
Enthusiastically for him. The county con-
ventions will be held the first Monday
in May to appoint delegates to the Judi
cial convention, which will be held at
Jackson May 10. This convention'is eX-
pected to be a lively one.

Two work-house prisoners have
escaped from their guards while at
work on the public highways this
week. While at work on the Paris
road Monday, in the suburbs Of
town, Henry Mitchell, who was re-
garded somewhat as a trusty, was
sent for a shovel, and he has not
returned to date. This was a little
too much for Jim Whitworth, who
made two unsuccessful attempts to
escape from the jail last week, and
he again longed for freedom. He
was not disposed to be even patient,
and without giving due notice and
while engaged at work a short dis
tance south Of town Tuesday after
noon he suddenly dropped his tools
and made bee-line for Tennessee
River bottom. Commissioner Tot
ty, who was on guard, shot at him
twice, but could not follow without
letting Sam Frazier, colored, es-
cape. Nothing has been heard of
Whitworth, This is 8 good Illus
tration Of the folly Of taking pris-
oners on the road unfettered and
free to make a break for liberty at
any time.

The Book Of the Fair is the only work
in any wise attempting to reproduce in
print the Worlds Columbian Exposition
entire. In this respect it is without
competitor, and perusal of the book
and look at its handsome illustrations
will be the next best thing to seeing the
fair itself. 1t confines itself neither to
art alone on the one side, nor to dry sta
tistics on the other, but it presents in
attractive and accurate form the whole
realm Of art, industry, science and learn
ing, as exhibited by the nations at the
fair, ard the work, like the fair itself, is
magnificent. Many books on the great
exposition have been published in the
last few months, and TIE CHRoNIcLE
has persistently declined to lend its col
umns in praise of any of the various pub
hcations purporting to describe or Illus
trate the Worlds Fair, but we do not
hesitate to commend the Book of the
Fair as a meritorious publication; every
number is a veritable art gallery, and
from a literary standpoint the work is
above criticism. Published by the Ban
croft Company, Chicago, IL

Last Friday morning Charles Sur.
baugh shot and instantly killed
Morgan Adams at Walton Grove, near
White Hall, about twelve miles from
Winchester, Virginia The par
ticulars of the shooting are not fully
known, but from what can be gathered
it appears that Adams asked Surbaugh
to testify in his behalf in divorce suit
which was to have come up in the court
there next month, and Surbaugh said
that he would not swear TO falsehood.
Adams, drawing revolver, said he
would kill him if he did not. Sur
baugh knocked the revolver from his
hand and knocked him down. Adams
arose, started for the house about one
hundred and fifty yards distant for hls
gun, when Surbaugh picked up the
revolver and shot him in the back.
Adams .ell and Surbaugh ran to him
and shot him In the head. causing
instant death. Surbaugh was arrested
and lodged in Jail. 1t seems that
Adams has been living unpleasantiy
with his wife and was suing for divorce.

Silver Shield Starch.

We call attention to the advertise
ment in another column Of the Silver
Shield Starch offered by B. S. Pendle-
ton. Besides being well recommended
as a standard article of good quality,
the circumstances under which 1t IS
offered are not only novel, but an IN
ducement for its purchase aud use.
Rev. J. W. Kimmel, pastor OF the
Lutheran Church at Leavenworth'
Kan, who has wonderful record for
successful church building in the far
West has effected an arrangement
with the manufacturers of this starch,
by which all the royalty and profit to
them on all sales east of the MisSls-
sippi river shall be paid over as a
contribution toward a new mission
church under his charge The starch
is already being taken hold of in diff
ferent sections of our eastern country
and we have no doubt will yield fan
return for the enterprise of Rev. Kim
mel. We commend it to our people
upon the ground that if you can gel
as good starch as now using, without
any additional cost to you, and at th'
same time aid a struggling western
church, duty is plain, Try it.
