The other side got wind OF the Intentions,

pany here say the murdered man had no
enemies at Mineral. As IL IS impossible
for stranger TO get into the district with
out being seen, they are confident the
assassin will be found.
Another version is that Hucklebee had
trouble with neighbors over land. He
settled In the little valley AZ the head of
The Tiiton seven years ago. Other set

That "love laughs at locksmiths, ,'' was verified last Friday night by a marriage not.dreamed of by the best of matchmakers. Suspicious little mis- sives were circulated among few of the favored by noon Friday, and soon the report spread that the Danforth girls were to be married. Who were the Danforth girls? For once, at least. the sewing circles. guilds. leagues. etc. were nonplussed, and all inquiry re suited in the answer-they are the Danf0rth girls.
 That ii was the same old story stern parents. true love, heroic lover. etc.,-nOne can doubt.
 pAt seven o'clock atlMrs. Oscar Wolff read the dainty little notes. and by an early hour her parlor was crowded by young" ladies and gentlemen. All the contracting parties being strangers in our midst. DO little conjecture was
 ndulged in as to whence they came. However. at the appointed hour when Rev. Otto Rollwage, Jr., asked the question, if anyone knew of any reason why these two should not be joined together in the bonds of holy matrimony; and no one replied, asigh of dissatisfaction was drawn at the disappointment. as everybody expected pistols, etc. The marriage proceeded and Snsan and Marietta Danfnrth stood forth as Mrs. Susan klaatsburgec and Mrs. Marietta AnZeiger. A feast followed and loud were the praises of the guests for the royal entertain ment furnished by Ms Wolff, The married quartette were dolls.

OFF FOR LIBERIA.

 The Iron Mountain Railroad de- p"e presented regular camp meetiny aspect Mohday afternoon. it being the u"y sSt TOT the departure of the first i"atahhieht or the Liberia emigrants lhe movements of the negroes in snis emigration schemeu has been lalthiully Kept secret, so much so 1nat It was almost train time bpfore outsiders were aware of their intend. eu departure. At about three o'clock tile colored folks from every mart of ot.francls county commenced to q.tbsr at the depot, on an average of five spectators and well wishers against one emlgrant. Wagons loaded with every conceivable kind of plunder as was thought to be serviceable in the
 Iand 0f Canaan" backed to ths de. pot, and our friend Durborow. was for moment n0nplussed, but his ready wlts soon brought order out of chaos ana Tn brief space of time, eighty seven pieces of baggage, fourteen large goods boxes. five dogs and one pig were checked and safely stored in a side. uoor sleeper, awaiting the coming of ..e tram. With the aid of his son MAX, the entire party were soon tick. eted-one hundred and one strong ana 'at $50, amid the huzzas of the crowd and chanting of "Git on board iittle chiilun," the texodus from St. Francis county began.
 IhlS contingent went as far as Wynne, where another party met them, and Tuesday the en. tire party embarked on the Iron Noun tain train for Savannah. Ga. there to await the coming of the ship to carry them to this 'dreamlandn-Sou A f. rica.
 Among the party were old men bowed down with age and children of leDder years, who were totally unfit to stand the butfetting of the tiresome trip, and perhaps many will end their journey before their destination is reached
 Our reporter endeayored to get the names of the party, but so we'll have they been trained in their prejudices to the white race, that when only one was disposed to give information. he was silehced by look. The agents of the immigration society have done their work well, and the seed of dis. trust sown among the negroes has found fertile soil. and the wholesale ex- odus of negroes will be the fruits. While we wish the negro God speed'' and success in this new land. for hu. manity's sake we would advise them to read and learn more of South Africa before they take the step. A vast ocean intervenes between free America and Africa, and walking is not very good on the briny deep.
 It is an indisputable fact that their superstitious natures have been worked for all they are worth, and this, to- gether with the studied training of their prejudices against the whites. has led many of them to leave the home of plenty, with hatred of their benefac- tors, to accept the vague uncertainties of unciviliZed Africa.
 The historical mean" negro pre- dominates among these emigrants, though there were some, and espec- ially half dozen or more. of the best colored citizens we had, among those who departed Monday never again to look upon their lifelong benefactors.

Wlth better understanding of the w transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef- forts gentle efforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families. and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without facilitating the organs on which it acts. ltis therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- hclal effects, to note when you pur- chase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informede deverywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely usedand gives most general satisfaction.
