Notes From Trinity.
The outlook for Trinity was never so
bright as it is now. Everything is be-
ing put In readiness for the opening in
September.
The first Woman's building Is going
up and will be one of the handsomest
boarding homes at any southern col
lege. It will be fitted with all modern
improvements, and will accommodate
twenty or twenty-five young women.
Among the young ladies who will
enter Trinity in September are Miss
Elias, daughter of Hon. Kope Elias,
and Miss Moore, daughter of Rev. DR..
Moore, of Fayetteville district. Several
other young women will take advan-
tage of the opportunity offered them at
Trinity. This Is the greatest opportu-
nifty for higher education ever offered
our young women.
A large attendance of students is ex-
pected.

A Most Wicked Deed.

A Most Wicked Deed.
IF did not think there was man in
this community mean enough to do
such thing"
Such was the frequent expression OF
persons here Saturday and Monday, as
they discussed a most outrageously
wicked deed which some one perpetrat-
ed against Mr.. Alex Madry last Friday
night.
Saturday morning he went to his
stable to feed his horse as usual, and
found him SICK, Upon investigation
he found further that some one had
gone to his stable during the night and
given the horse some homlny. There
we're signs where the hominy was put
through the crack. and tracks of per
sons on the outside.
It was discovered that some kind OF
poison was in the hominy. The horse
had two commissions and died in about
IS minutes.
Mr.. Madry brought his horse trough
to town Saturday and the poison was
found to be Paris green. He says he
can not account for the wicked deed as
he is at peace with everybody as far as
he knows.
