A horrible story of outrage and murder
comes from the upper Blaine creek dis
trict of Elliott county. A young girl
named Jordon. while crossing stretch
of woods, en- route to the home of a neigh
bor was forcibly taken to an old deserted
house in the mountains and repeatedly
assaulted by three young men, all recog-
nzed as tough citizens. The tiends choked
the girl until they supposed she was dead.
according to the report received her, and
placing her against the wall of the house
with her arms extended, nailed her hands
to the logs. The girl was discovered some
time later by a searching party and she
recovered sufficiently to tell the names of
her assailants. She died later and the en-
ragged people are hunting the murderers,
who escaped to the mountains.

An Anti-Sunday Newspaper Epidemic
Among Chattanooga Pastors.

Chattanooga, July THE CHATTANOOGA
pastors are after the scalp of the Sun
day newspaper" At meeting of the
Pastors association a few days ago. it
was decided by unanimous vote not to
publish church notices in the Sunday pa
pers. The papers, nevertheless. came out
as usual, and today Rev. w. J. Trimble,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian church,
having one of the largest and most fash
ionable congregations of any church in
the city, delivered strong sermon against
the Sunday newspaper. He declared
that it diverted the minds of the people
from their religious duty; that
church members spent the morn
ings in reading the newspapers
instead of going to church; that the papers
were filled with matters pertaining to
secular affairs and that the Sunday news
paper is wholly immoral in its tendencies.

Whereas, Laws are supposed to be nee

deplores tendency on the part OF some of
our leading city papers to deprecihte the
Sunday closing law, declaring its enforce
ment an impossibiity, and criticisnS our
public officers in their efforts to that end;
that We regard such sentiments as dcmor-

would be deemed unworthy of any paper
representing respectable public opinion.
