WEsTyILLE, Fla. Sept 1.-Two negroes
were shot to death and several wounded
by band of masked men in the northern
portion of Holmes county The tragedy
occurred near a large sawmill, which is
owned by Graves s. Beatty The firm en-
ploys many negroes, and operates short
railroad from the sawnill TO the Choctaw-
hatehce river. The shots and the screams
of the negroes brought Messrs Graves g.
Beatty and a number Of white employees
who live near the scene, and then the
masked men fed. An examination showed
that Henry johnson and Sam Evans,
negroes, had been killed, and that dozen
had been wounded, some of whom will
die. 1t is thought that the attack was in
stigated by white men who had been dis
charged by the owners of the plant.

this District in the Congress Of the
United States. We warned the peo-
pie that it was illogical and impracti4

predictions have been verified to 3

Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself, in strictly medical sense, in
three important particulars viz: first,
in the combination of remedial agents
used; second, in the proportion in
which they are mixed; third, in the
process by which the active curative
properties of the preparation are Sc
cured. These three important points
make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar in
its medical merit, as it accomplishes
cures hitherto unknown.
But it is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does. that tells
the story. What Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done for others is reason for con-
fidence that it is the mediciue for YOU.

Free Traders cannot deny the above
figures as they are their own. They
tell why gold is constantly flowing
out of the country and why fine Gov
eminent is at the mercy of band OF
Wall street and foreign brokers.
But they tell more thrilling tale,
They tell of misery, squalor, and
want, where, during Republican rule
there was prosperity, happiness, and
contentment.
They tell of less work and less
money to Americans, and more
work and more money to foreigners.
1t is not the part of wise men to SO
legislate. They should seek first the
happiness of the people of their own
country. They should remember that
he that provideth not for his own is
worse than a traitor, unworthy the
confidence Of the people, and that the
people, though often slow to wrath,
show no mercy when once thor
oughly aroused.

The man bigger than Grant" has
at last been found. He is comptroller
Bowler, of the Treasury Department,
and if his contention is sound there
is really no need for Supreme Court.
Mr.. Bowler insists that he has the
right to determine for himself wheth-

Mr. Bowler is certainly man of CO.
lossal proportions if his claim is true,
but the general opinion of lawyers is
that his bigness is largely confined to
his head, which will be reduced to its
proper dimensions after the much de
spised courts have had an opportuni-
ty to pass upon the case.

Sad Ending of the Life OF Clar-
ence Ropp.

~~OIH'
We last week published the fact
that Clarence. son of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
Luther Ropp, formerly of thiscounty,
but now of Marcy, Ohio, was drown
ed.
At that time particulars were moi
obtainable. The following is from
the Lithopolitan News, local paper
published near Mr.. Ropp's home, and
is, we presume, authentic:
"On Saturday evening last, our
community was shocked by a report
that Clarence Ropp had been drowned
in the little lake at Buckeye Park,
and very soon the sad news was con-
firmed.
"Clarencehad gone with his friends
Raymond Seymour and Chancey
Stevenson, to the Park, for an after
noon of fun and frolic before conf
mencing theirischool work; it was to
be grand wind up of the long vaca-
ton. But OH how soon the fun and
frolic gave place to grief and mourn
ing.
"Our boys had spent little time
in wandering about the Park, and
had been down to the toboggan slide
when Clarence and Raymond conclud-
ed to swim across the lake; both were
expert swimmers, and thought they
were careful in starting away from
the spring board; but Raymond who
was in advance was very soon start
led by cry from his friend for help,
and turned to go to his assistance,
only to s@e Clarence sink into the
water; he succeeded in reaching and
grasping him as he was going down
for the third time, but was himself
drawn under the water, and when
he came up Clarence was gone.
young Stevenson is not swim
mer and there was no help available
to save the life of Clarence Ropp.
Clarence came into this neighbor-
hood with his parents and sisters
from West Virginia, in the spring OF
'94,h wasa young man ofmost excel
lent Christian character, and amiable,
courteous manners, and had made
for himself host of friends, both
young and old, To the parents and
sisters to whom our young friend was
so dear, our hearts go out in tender
sympathy.
clarence was laid to rest in our
beautiful cemetery on Monday even
ing, his remains being followed to the
grave by large concourse of people.
Both casket and the grave were made
beautiful by the floral gifts of loving
friends.
Clarence will be greatly missed
by his young friends and from the
school-room. And oh! how much
from the loving home circle. But we
bow in submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father
Deceased was born in this county
and was aged II years S-months and
S days. He was the only son and
was naturally the pride and hope of
his father, mother, and four sisters
A model young man, strong and
healthy, he was loved by all and gave
promise of a vigorous manhood.
The numerous friends of the fami-
ly in this section express heartfelt
grief because of the sad calamity and
extend sincerest sympathy to parents
and sisters.
