Whiteville, Jan. 3.-There is a greater
diversity of crops in this community

farmers have more corn and meat than
at any period since the war. Notwith-
standing the financial crisis has not
abated the people, through economical
stops, are in tolerable fair shape. Wtite-
Vile has fifteen business establish
ments, all of which have done fine
business, and there is room for more
merchants. The next step in the way
of progress will be looking to the max
ing of a new county, composed of frac-
tional parts OF Hardeman, Fayette, Hay
wood and Madison. This matter. has
heretofore been written and talked
about, and today the people are think
ing more seriously Of it. 1t IS only
question Of time when this new county
will be established, as it is badly needed
beyond any doubt, and more than the
necessary majority would vote for it
and jump at the chance.

Farmer Near Attioa, Mich, Com.
,nits an Awful Deed.
BUTCHERS THREE OF HIS CHILDREN.
After Setting Fire to His Resid ence, the
Murderer Shoots Himself Through the
Thought to Hayc Been
Temporarily insane.

Attica, Mich, July 22.-Gorman
Swain, a farmer living one mile south Of
this place, early Tuesday morning killed
three Of his children with butcher
knife; set fire to his house, and then
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart.
Swain was about 4s years old, and
was in comfortable circumstances. lie
had a violent temper and for years had
threatened to kill his family and him
self. His wife died last spring, since
which time Swain g on tbursts Of temper
have been more frequent and Of a more
violent nature than ever.
Last Sunday evening he had trouble
with three OF the older children, Fred,
aged 10 years, Anna, aged II years, and
Birdie, aged IL years. He whipped
them severely and they took refuge at
neighbours house. Monday night he
tried to induce them to return home,
but they refused, and probably saved
their lives.
Neighbors were aroused by the burn.
ing Of SWANS house shortly after three
o'clock Tuesday morning. When they
reached the place horrible sight con.
fronted them. Lying on the roadway
with their threats cut from ear to ear
were Frank Swain, aged II years; Lucy,
aged nine,and Jimmie, aged seven years.
The father lay near them with bullet
hole above his heart. BY his side were
the weapons with which he had ended
their lives and his own.
It is supposed that Swain was tenn.
porarily insane.

A CLOUDBURST.
1t Causes Death and Destruction
In Kentucky.
TOTAL OF TEN LIVES REPORTED LOST.
Among the Victims Is an Entire Family
of Six Persons-C Catastrophe Occurs
Ncar Frankfort-Property Loss
Is Enormous.

Louisville, KY, July 22.-Ten lives
were lost and great havoc wrought to
property by cloudburst Monday night
and early Tuesday morning, which
seems to have vented it's fury on Benson
creek in Franklin county, where two
houses were washed away and every
one OF their occupants drowned. The
dead are: James Bradley, his wife and
four children, Mrs. George Bryant and
two children, and an unknown man.
Benson creek comes out of the vest
ern portion Of the county, crosses the
various turnpikes, six miles from
town. then crosses the railroad four
miles from townand comes down along
side the railroad till 1t empties into the
river in the middle of the town.
Mrs. Bryant kept tollgate near the
bridge. The little dollhouse was right on
the creek and just across from James
Bradley's, and not far from her fathers,
Squire Moore. The Conway mill Just
above was the first to go. Its timbers
must have swept away the Bryant and
Bradley houses. These houses them
selves must have hit the railroad
bridge, two miles below, as no mill tim
bers are seen below. The bridge was
swept away with terrible force. Every
thing about it, iron and all, except the
main abutment, is gone.
Damage Is Heavy.
The biggest property damage was
probably atPence's sawmills. The sup
ply of logs was tied up in great RATS
On the river just below where Benson
empties. Every log, representing more
than $4,000 feet Of lumber, was swept
away. Dispatches from all parts in
the east central portion Of the state
report greatloss. Bridges on the Louis
Vile & Nashville railroad east of here
were washed out and traffic is at a
standstill. Farmers in this section suf-
fered heavy loss entire fields of wheat
and corn being swept away. The loss
to lumbermen along the Kentucky river
will be enormous, several mills and
thousands of logs having been swept
away. AT Shelbyville Clear creek over
flowed the lower portion Of the town
and put out the fires in the gas works.
AT Hardinsburg the water stood five
Feet deep in the Baptist and Methodist
churches, In LOUISVILLE over five inches
of rain fell during "a hours, flooding
cellars and railroad tracks and break
ing huge sewers. The Louisville g.
Nashville is the greatest sufferer, the
tracks which connect the Cincinnati
with the main division being under
water. The @. & o. is using the Louis
vile Southern tracks between Louis
Vile and Lexington.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
CENTRAL STATION,

Dies MONIES, Iowa, July RI, 90. :
From the 18th to the 1oth.the wealth
Their was excessively dry and hot,
causing some Apprehension of damage
by hot winds and drouth. This heat.
ad term was followed by much cooler
weather and copious showers fairly
we'll distributed. The southern and
central districts received the heaviest
emount of rainfall, the reported meas.
urements ranging from one to five
inches.
These showers came in good time,
and have been of Unreasonable benefit
to corn, late potatoes, pastures, gar.
dens and all immature crops.
The reports show that good progress
has been made i'll the harvest fhelds,
and by the close of the present week
the bulk of the small grain will be in
shock or stack
Tnreshing from shock has been be.
gun in all districts with quite variable
results. All reports agree that oats are
both short in quantity and deficient
in weight. Judging by returns thus
far received the output for the state
will be less than one.third the heavy
yield of 1895.
Corn is very promising and received
no material damage from the late hot
and dry weather.

Bricks with Lead.

Bricks with Lead.
Cleveland, o., July s2,-soldiers at
the Brown Hoist works fired several
shots into the yards Of the H. P.
Nail works, Monday night, bayoneted
motorman to make him stop his car,
and arrested two men, who, 1t is
claimed, yelled "scab" as the wagons
containing non-union men were pass
ing along Wilson avenue. The distur-
bance commenced on the Cleveland &
Pittsburgh railway tracks when q
picket was stoned from the II. P. Nail
works yards. The picket came up to
the gate of the boiler house and threat
ened to shoot. He was greeted with q
shower of bricks, one of which landed
under his ear and sent him to the
ground. The picket fired q shot into
the yards. Other pickets came and
they fired too. Then the guard turned
out, and with charged bayonets the
blue-coats rushed into the boiler house,
which, upon their arrival, contained no
persons but the frenen. One Of the
fremen says that the soldiers tried to
drive him out of the house.
The fremen left their boilers and tele-
phoned for police protection, which
was granted. Policemen Were detailed
to disperse the militia.

Malvern, Ark, Destroyed by Fire-Loss.
100000.
Little Rock, Ark, July 20.-The town
of Malvern, Ark, at the junction Of the
Hot Springs railway, was almost en-
tirely wiped out by fire Saturday morn
ing. Malvern was little city of about
$1,000. Only three business houses re-
main. The total loss is variously csti-
mated at from 100000 to $500, 900, only
small portion of which is covered by
insurance. The burned buildings in
clude the railroad depot, two hotels,
the bank and all the principal business
houses in the place. The fire is with
out doubt the result Of a plot to de-
stroy the town. The blaze broke out
about midnight in three different
places, and as there was no apparatus
the fire burned itself out. Areport has
just reached here that one of the two
suspected negroes arrested at Malvern,
charged with firing the town, was
hanging to tree in the outskirts, and
that preparations were going on for
swinging the other negro and two
white tramps placed in jail at the same
time.
