He is now holding his
 breath and waiting to see the other fei- | low come up."
 Died at Selma.-Following is from the l Selma Journal: 'The Journal short | time since announced the death of Mir. l B. Boxhorn, after protracted illness in | this city, and now the loved wife and | mother has joined the husband. Mrs. l BoXhorn died at her home in this city | at 2:30 o'clock this morning. She has l gradually been sinking since her hus- | bands death, and passed quietly away | when the summons came. This estima- | ble lady was born in Prussia, and was 63
 years old at the time of her death. She | was a sister of MT. Charles Goldstein of
 this city and leaves three children to
 mourn her demise, to whom the tender | sympathies of many friends will be ex-
 tended The funeral of the deceased
 takes place from the family residence
 on Alabama street tomorrow morning at | 9 o'clock
 Promises to Be Interesting Abbe- | yille Times says: "A postoffiee inspector | or United States marshal was in Abbe-
 ville last week looking up parties whom | Searcy had reported as being connected
 with him in buying goods they never in | tended to pay for, therefore using the
 mails for fraudulent purposes. Mir.
 Charlie Williams from near Hardwick- | burg came up to see the inspector Sun
 day, and was closeted with him at the | hotel for several hours. It seems that | Williams was hired to go to Cowarts to | do business for some parties, but when
 he got there found out that it was to be run as a regular swindling scheme. so he l pulled up and came back to Hardwiclx- | burg and refused to have anything to do | with it. Williams will be very i'm | portant witness in the case. This is go-
 ing to prove a big swindlng scheme | with some very influential citizens con | nected with it. But then if they have
 violated they should pay the severest penalty, for they knew better than to dol | such business"
 Two Little Girls Saved-The following
 is from the Selma Times: "A couple of
 little girls, one and the other 10 have | been rescued from the slums of the city. | They were found by Aldermen LoclShart
 and Sparrenberger, who purchased them
 an entire outfit of clothes from head to | foot-shoes, dresses, aprons, hats, etc,
 and the poor little children were as | happy as they could be when they were
 taken out to the Summerfield orphanage
 yesterday. If these little children had
 been allowed to grow up in the atmos- | phere that surrounded them they would
 have dropped into the same way of living
 that they saw others live but as it is | they will be reared under the refining l care of pure, good woman, and will be
 taught to read and write and be lady-like
 in department, and finally be secured | good homes, and grow up and become or
 naments to society. How much better it | was to rescue these little ones before the | blghting hand of the tempter had been | placed upon them. The Times says, all | honor to our noble aldermen who dis | covered these children, and doubly be | praised the noble institution at Summer | field that will shelter them from the
 storms of life till some knd-hearted lady | or gentleman comes along and gives | them a home. A soul saved is jewel in | a mans crown long before he crosses the
 river, and these little girls rescued at
 their tender age will be bright diadems
 for the two 1aw-givers of our city who
 have interested themselves in their be- | half"
