RANsOMs DEMANDED

Vienna, Oct. 1.-Advices from Bel
grade say that the brother of the Aus
trian consul at Serces, Macedonia, who
was carried off by band of Bulgarian
brigands some two weeks ago, with a
wealthy Greek landed proprietor and
others, has been murdered with four of
his companions because the ransom of
500, 600 demanded by the brigands as the
price OF their liberty was not forthcom-
ing. At one time it was reported that
the Austrian consul himself had been
kidnapped. This rumor it now seems
was incorrect.

Cheering News from Hancock.

KYLEs FORD, TENN, March Q, 1896.
Editor Herald and Tribune-I, like
all other Republicans, have a prefer
ence between men, and certainly am
always ready to state my reasons. Our
duty as American citizens and voters
is to select men for high positions that
in our judgment have the will and
ability to serve us faithfully and eff
ciently. Should we want a general
for war we would certainly take q
drilled man should we want teacher,
we would take one trained In the very
branches we desire taught. So 1t Is
when we want q man to represent us
in Congress we should select one train
ed in the very things that we are most
interested in. Most of our people are
more interested in having man in
Congress that will contend for the
right of the people before the several
departments and bureaus Of the Gov =.
ernment.
1t is the opinion of our people that
Walter P. Brownlow could do more for
them in Congress than any man that
they could send. l have never heard
anyone deny this, because he is 30 well
acquainted with the run OF business
at Washington and is 30 determined
when he sees anything ought to be
done that he puts both hands and
shoulders to the wheel and rolls till he
gets there. Our people know the merits
of the men that are before this pri-
mary for nomination and have nearly
all fixed their opinions on some one of
the three candidates. A few good men
are for Mr.. Anderson in the Seventh
and Fourteenth Districts. Some SOL
diers scattered over the county are for
Mr.. Milburn. In the Third district
Mr.. Milburn has a respectable follow
ing and likely majority. While in
the 4th, 9Th, 10th, 1st. End and 12th,
MIR. Brownlow will, in my opinion, re.
ceive six votes to all the rests one.
This estimate will give Mr.. Brownlow
on the 18th of April at least five to one,
80 the majority will depend on the
turnout on election day.
Mr.. Brownlow when he visited this
county sometime ago made a good I'M
preston and has been growing In
strength ever since. His offer to accept
any county that Mr.. Milburn claimed
and go into 1t in the next twenty days
and hold primary and IL Milburn
carried it he would quit the race and
support him and which Mr. Milburn
declined, showed Milburn's weakness
and no doubt turned the tide much in
favor of Brownlow. Yours truly,
II. K. r. HKRp.

If allowed to progress, would have
