Lincoln county, Mississippi, A. ID. 1896, there
was convicted in court on a charge Of assault
and battery with intent to kill and murder one

years in the State Pententiary. That said
Nick Calcote was unable to employ an attorney

Horrible Tragedy at Ca.eyvllie.

Caseyville was the scene of horri-
BILE killing on last Thursday night.
The usual weekly prayer meeting had
been held at Bethel Methodist Church,
and the people started off in the bright
moonlight for their respective homes.
Thos. Beacham lives on the road a few
hundred yards from the church, and
Mrs. Beacham, who had been to pray
err meeting, was accompanied as far as
her home by Joseph Bufkin, her broth
er-in-law, and two of his children, who
lived mile or two further on. Ac-
cording to eye-wiJnesses (of which
there were a number), when the party
reached Mr.. Beacham's front lot gate
and we're going in, Jim King and Prem
tiss Easterling, two young men of the
neighborhood, rode up to the gate, and
King called to Mr.. Bufkin that he
wanted to see him in regard to diff

err of King, at the time of which Buff
kin was reported as reprimanding the
King boy. AS soon as Bufkin turn
ed and advanced to meet King, who
had meantime dismounted from his
mule, the latter opened fire on him
with a pistol. He received two deadly
wounds in the breast, when he turned
to retreat and was followed by King
and shot several times more in the
back. 1t is alleged that as soon a;
Bufkin started to retreat, Young East
erling drew his pistol and began shoot
ing from his horse in the road. The
whole shocking affair took place
in full view of Bufkin's children, Mrs
Beacham and several others. Wher

Immediately after the shooting, Mr.
Bufkin was leaning against the fence
in dying condition. He never spoke
after being shot, and expired short
while after being carried into the
house.

to be only the pleasant breezes of the

good in the way of provisions, chick

kept blowing all the next day. Not
only from our own people did these
good things come, but also from some

Farming That Pays.

George Maze, living north Of town,
last week sold 55 head of steers which
averaged him in Chicago $685. each,
making total of s35S8.75. Less than a
year ago Mr.. Maze bought these cattle
for S28.61, making his net ain 1864 a
head. That is, for his trouble, pasture,
feed, freight and use of his money he re-
ceved the sum of S2O15.2O. This goes to
show that under favorable circumstances
farming in Iowa still pays. OF course
George Maze is well equipped to handle
stock enterprises of this kind; his yards
are well arranged, provided with shelter
and all necessary conveniences, he has
good pastures for stock and uses intelli-
gence in purchasing, feeding and ship
ping. He believes for instance that it
pays to handle the best grade Of cattle.
and rarely has anything to do with
scrubs" Judging from his uniform
success we believe his advice to stock
feeders worth listening to. - Carroll

Free School Books.

During this week, petition has been
circulated and largely signed by voters
requesting that the question of free text
books for the children in the public
schools be submitted to the voters of
this independent district at the next
school election which takes place in
March.
This petition is being circulated by
the ladies who have been engaged in
charitable work during the winter.
They have found that a number of
children of children were out of school
because of lack of books.
It is worthy of attention from the
people and will be more fully noticed in
this paper in the future.
We have heard at various times good
deal of talk on the subject of free text
books in the public schools.
The twenty-sixth general assembly
enacted a free text book law under
which any school district in the state
may furnish books for use in the school,
free of charge to the pupils.
A circular recently issued by the de-
partment of public instruction, gives the
law relative to the subject, and while it
does not argue in favor of free text
books, it is easy to see that the state
superintendent is not at all adverse to the
plan of free books for all pupils of the
public schools. The circular says:
Said act is follows:
Chapter 81, laws of 1996.-An act to
enable boards of school directors to pro-
vide free textbooks for pupils in the
public schools.
Section l. Whenever petition sign
cd by one-third or more of the legal
voters, to be determined by the school
board, of any school township or indie
pendent district, shall be filed
with the secretary thirty days or more
before the annual meeting of the electors,
asking that the question of providing
free text books for the use of pupils in
the public schools thereof, be submitted
to the voters at the next annual meet
ing, he shall cause notice Of such pro-
position to be given in the call for such
meeting.
Section 2. IL at such meeting maj
ority of the legal voters present and yot-
ing by ballot thereon shall authorize the
board of directors of said school town
ship or Independent district to loan text
books to the pupils free of charge, then
the board shall procure such books, as
shall be needed, in the manner provided
by law for the purchase of textbooks
and loan them to the pupils.
Section s. The board shall hold
pupils responsible for any damage to,
loss of, or failure to return any such
books, and shall adopt such rules and
regulations as may be reasonable and
necessary for the keeping and preserva,
! ton thereof.
Section T. Any pupil shall be al,
lowed to purchase any textbook used IN
the school at cost.
Section 5. No pupil already supplied
with text books shall be supplied with
others without charge until needed.
| Section 6. The electors may at an
election called as herein provided direct
the board to discontinue the loaning OF
books to pupils.

to enter upon an extensive argument IN

Farm prices like other thing are some
times good and sometimes bad. And
all of us think that they are more often
bad than good, by large majority. In
a conversation with Mr.. J. G. johnson
few days ago, he informed the writer
that prices for farm products in the win
ter of 1S60-61 were about the same as
they are today. Mr.. johnson lived in
Illinois at that time and was employed
in a grain warehouse, The prvailing
prices for produce were: oats 8 to 10c,
corn 1Oc, wheat Coo, rye 20c; and the
crop bought at those prices was of ex-
cellent quality. During the same per-
iod dressed pork sold at $3.50 per cwt.,
butter brought SC per pound and eggs
were worth &c per dozen:

It is constantly asserted that in towns
north, south, east or west better prices
prevail for farm produce than in Audi
bon. We do not refer to adjoining
towns, for the same conditions prevail
there as here, but say, within radius of
fifty miles. And local dealers are
thoughtlessly blamed for the descrepan-
cies in prices. Now local dealers sell to
other dealers and the local price depends
on what the other dealers offer. If a
local dealer is offered but &c per bushel
for grain he cannot we'll buy that grain
at 15c. Our immense corn crop in this
county is largely what ia called "soft
corn" 1t did not properly ripen and
dry out. When shelled it is chaffy and
full of dirt And to make matters worse
much has been piled on the ground and
the continuous damp and open winter
weather has given it no chance to dry
A great deal of our corn is below the
lowest recognized grade. 1t will not go
mo. A." as grain dealers say. Such be-
ing the case it is not right to blame the
local dealer for offering the only price he
can offer, he taking the risk of having
his shipments thrown back on his hands.
The evil of "soft corn" is blamable only
on the wet weather that lasted all the
planting and growing season, over a
comparatively small section in this por-
ton of Iowa. 1t seems hard TO think
that people but a short distance away
had heavy crop Of good corn, while
here tits heavy crop OF poor corn, but
as we have no recour Sc we must make
the best of it.
