The Picayune of the 10th has the
following to say Of the celebrated
Will Purvls case:
"The appeal in the case of Will
Purvis, the Marion county whites
cap, was filed IN the supreme court
to-day. AT the last term of the
circuit court of Marion county the
court fixed new day for Purvis'
execution, he having miraculuusly
escaped the death moose on o form
er occasion. Before the order of
the court was made, fixing the new
date OF execution, objection was
filed by Purvls' counsel to any fur
ther proceedings in his case being
had, and upon the same being over,
ruled by the court, this appeal was
taken. The grounds of the obiece
tions are that since the former acs
ton OF the court one or more terms
of the court have been allowed to
pass without action, and that this
has worked discontinuance of the
case and bars any further proceed
ings or any further execution of the
sentence.
The regular October term of the
supreme court will begin next
Monday"

TIE following from the Sardls
Reporter expresses our condition
and sentiments 10 Il:
"We want to tell those of our
subscribers, and Others who owe us,
that we have tried to exercise the
patience of Job. Aye, more than
that-we have excelled Job, and
worked along as quietly and uncom
plalningly, as a pair of omnibus
horses or street Car mules. But we
owe others, and they must be paid,
ard it is just as impossible for us
to pay then unless our debtors paw
us, as it is for an engine to run
without steam or crow to ly with
out wings. We know money il
scarce, but if you can't pay all, you
can pay part, and "every little will
help US" to meet our own obliga.
tIons. There is nothing more disa
tasteful To us than to be In debt
and not ready TO pay when called
on. We ask no aims, but only what
Is justly due us, and this we want
and need. We hope every ore
who reads this will ask himself if
me Is ia our debt, and il SO, that he
will pay all if he can, or a part If
he can't pay ALL"
