A light snow, nearly enough to
cover the ground, fell early Monday
morning. That night it was very cold
and fruit and early vegetables were
seriously hurt Tuesday night there
was much heavier frost and what
was not killed the night before appears
to have gone by the board now.
Peaches, pears and some other small
fruits that had been forced out by the
unusually warm weather OF the past
few weeks are killed. We have heard
of but little damage being done to
tobacco plants. Where the beds were
covered it is not thought that they have
suffered to any great extent.

POLK MILLER COMING.
Dielect Recital and Character
Sketches on 1.-The Old Virginia
Plantation Negro"

1t is with genuine pleasure that the
GOLD LEAF announces the appearance
of this talented and genial Virginia
gentleman at Burwell Hall Wednesday
evening next. April 4th. Mr.. Miller
is justly recognized by press and public
to be the greatest Of darkey dialecti-
clans and story tellers, and his enter
tainment is one that both entertains
and instructs. His lecture is illustrative
of the peculiar disposition, habits and
character of the negro Of the olden
times, with an adequate and accurate
account Of him from general obserya-
ton. He tells the most amusing
ANECDOTES, showing the sunny side OF
the negro character and draws delight
full word-pctures true to "Southern
Plantation Life He also sings
plantation melodies, accompanying
himself on the banjo, the favorite and
characteristic instrument Of the 8 old
issue darkey.' In the press sheet before
us the method of Mr.. Miller's lecture
and entertainment is thus presented:
1.-The Old Virginia Plantation Negro
is a carefully prepared lecture, analysing
anu representing tIle peculiar Cu1i dCIei
and customs of the negro, aiming at
true delineation, and not burlesque. Mr..
Mller's pose, gestures, and tone OF voice
are true to life, and not farcical in the
least degree. The dialect is thoroughly
correct, and bristles with the quaint
idioms and natural artistic touches OF
the real negro. He makes no effort at
evolutionary effect, but, in his easy,
conversational manner, lust talks right
along" taking his audience with him
into the old corn-felds, tobacco, low
grounds, and log cabins, introducing
them to the quaint old "negrO mammys'
and "Uncle Neds," drawing from their
dialogues a sweet pathos, humOr, unique
philosophy, and rollicking fun that is
hard to imagine but by those who know
the "old issue darkey' as he was. The
strongest proof we can present as to the
correctness of Mr.. Miller's delineations
OF the negro characters the spontaneous
outburst of sympathetic endorsements
by native SOutherners wherever he
appears.

The buying public must be Informed

sellers to look for him. The merchant
in these days who fills his shelves with
goods and then sits down to wait tor
customers to come in will get left.
If he has anything to sell he should
let the public know it. 1t will not do
to say Well, everybody knows me l

always new people coming up, and
in every community there is somebody
who wants some one Of the many artl-

Burned With Acid.

Edwin, son Of DR.. j. II. Tucker,
while in his fathers office a few days
ago accidentally knocked bottle OF
acid of the book case and spilled the
contents on himself, a result of which
he was severely burned about the face.
The liquid came very near getting into
one of his eyes. He is doing very well
and it is hoped the injuries sustained
will not be such as to leave any scars
or traces Of the fiery fluid. The little
fellow has suffered much but bears his

Wanted to Kill Harrison.

LOGANSPORT. Ind, Oct. 3D.-A wave OF
excitement swept through the crowd this
evening when it was rumored that an at
tempt had been made To take the life OF
eXPresident Harrison.
The exact truth of he matter is diff
cult to determine, but some plan of seri-
Gus import was on foot. shortly after
the Harrison party arrived two men.
both heavily bearded and apparently
thus disguised, We're seen swinging
themselves down from rear window
of kroeger * Strains undertaking es-
Enlistment into an open yard in the
rear of the rink where General Harrison
was speaking.
Both men were seen by several per-
sons, who were seated on porch near
by. Each had revolver in his hand.
and as one man sprang into the open
place he was heard to say: when he
comes out. shoot him."
They then moved across the lot and
were lost To Sight. The police were
notified, and made Il thorough but vain
search. They profess To believe that the
two men were pickpockets who thought
themselves pursued, but these who saw
the parties are confident their actions had
another and deeper significance.
At the close of his speech General Har-
rison stepped from the low rear window
of the rink, and was at once hurried TO
the station in a carriage. Detectives fol-
lowed the party from here to Lafayette to
keep a lookout for susp ects.

Robbers Wreck a Train.


PARSONS, NAN, oct. 2l.-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train on the Kansas N
Arkansas Valley branch was held up by
four or five masked men at Coretta Sid
ing, seven miles east of Wagner, |. T.,
last night
Empty ears were placed ON the track
and the train struck them. The robbers
began 4 terrible onslaught, and four or
five persons are reported shot. Little
money il said To have been secured. All
the cars excepting the sleeper were shot
full of holes. and not whole window
remains. The money secured was from
the local safe.
During the fusilade Jack McHara, ad-
vance agent of the McHara Minstrel
Show, received a shot in the forehead.
The train was in charge of engineer
Harris and Conductor w. J. Dunkin.
The robbery was the work of Cook and
his desperate gang of outlaws, who have
recently been terrorizing the citizens in
the Territory. For two months past all
railroad trains passing through the Ter
ritory have been heavily guarded, in fear
of an attack.

Not In Clozer.n

In his speech at Noblesville, Ind, Gen.
Harrison said: "Our Democratic friends,
] think, assured you in the last campaign
tina; Democratic success would mean the
bringing in wave ofprosperity; that the
depression that prevailed i'm some branch
G. of agriculture would at once be reliey-
ed that the low price of whea; would be
followed by higher prices, and, in a word,
that the whole country would be as their
song went, In clover They exaggerat-
ed the positive influences OF executive
and legislative policies upon the general
prosperity of the country, but the policies
have much do with il. The tariff ques-
tion touches the business of the country
closely, the financial question, the char
acter of our paper issues all influence the
business of the people. But our Demo-
cratic friends seem to have lost some of
the high impressions they had of the in
fiuence of these things.
Now thar things have turned ont so
differently from what they prophesied,
they are making excuses. / think | have
heard some of them say that panics are
periodical and that this is periodical
period. You know how our doctors, es-
pecially in this country that used to be an
ague country but is such no longer. used
to talk about periodicity So our Demo-
cratic friends are trying to make you be-
lieve that thin is a case of periodicity. \
political party and political managers
ought to deal fairly with the people. Per
formance ought TO be the attendant and
handmade Ofpromise. Since our Demo-
cratic friends promise 81 largely, and
since they then assured you that Demo
cratic success would be the direct and
sufficient cause of bringing prosperity,
we are entitled to hold them this year to
responsibility for that sad failure which
the people have witnessed"
