FIVE PEOPLE BURNED TO DEATH On
PARADISE RIDGE, TENNESSEE,
And the Lives of Five Children Ended
in Their Home at Laddsdale, an
Iowa Mining Town.

NASHVILLE Tenn. March 24.-News
reached the city to-day that the residence

bodies of Jacob Ade. Mrs. Ade. Lizzie Ade,
aged twenty years: Henry Ade. thirteen
years old, and Rosa Moirer. aged ten years,
who was visiting the family. were found
i'm the ruins Of the building. Ade was a
well-to-do farmer. IT is supposed that the
family murdered and the house burned
to conceal the crime. The authorities are
investigating the case. The principal evil
dence leading TO the belief that murder
was committed is the fact that though the
girls face was slightly burned. the back
of her head was missing. 1t is thought that
she was struck by some such instrument
as an AK The hands OF two of the bodies
were not found. Mr. Ade was over sixty
years old and was considered rich man
by the truck gardeners and small farmers
among whom he lived. roll of money

There is no evidence to show that Ade
had any enemies in the neighborhood.
though last Saturday he prosecuted a man
Tor stealing hogs and had him bound over

no evidence against this man.

The State Tax Question.

The3mattersof the payment Of the
state taxes is'being much discussed
throughodtthe state. The general
opinion prevails among the counties
that it would be a rank injustice,
as well as an,unwarranted burden,
for the people to be compelled to
pile up money in the state treasury
that cannot be expended for two
years. Among the. counties that
have already indicated that they do
not intend to pay their state taxes
are Benton, Multnomah,. Clatsop
and Clackamas. The state taxes
of Multnomah amount to about
$2oo, 900, which aloue would .be
large sum of money TO tie up.
Judge Northup, of that county,
states that if there is any way to
avoid it that the money will not be
paid to the state, but will be ap-.
piled on outstanding warrants. In
Benton county several heavy tax
payers have INDICATED that .upless
the. county authorities; hold up the
state taxes that they will refuse TO
pay them, but will pay theireoulty I
school and other taxes the same as.
before. .t as
What course will be pursued by
the officials of,our county is not yet
indicated. Treasurer Hyde's own
inclination is to pay the money out !;
on warrants and let the state taxes
go.

Chitwood Screenings.


As the gentle mist is falling to-
day | will attempt to screen the
Chitwood screenings, as It's rather
too wet for the chaff to fly. All
though we are having a continual
tion of oflehilly, damp weather there
is one cheering thought, that it is
keeping back the bloom buds on
the fruit trees from bursting into
bloom until danger of frost is over.

good crop of fruit. But bad as the
weather has been nearly everyone
in this neck O. the wood l,ave their

The ChitWood literary society is
still running in full blast. The.
young folks have lately organized
a club, I believe lit is called the
Chitwood Reading Circle. They
have elected president, secretary,
librarian and treasurer, and anyone
having a good moral standing can,
become member by the payment
of ten cents per annum. The OBJ
ject is to. furnish good reading mat,
ter to its members, each member is
to furnish what they would be
willing to lend and thus form a
library. "a

the report is strue.

With this issue the LEADER has
rounded. out another year of exis;
tence and starts in on its fifth. year
fof trials and tribulations. 1t has
survived against four years of hard
knocks, and hard times, and dur
ing that time it has done its full
share toward helping along tile
town and county. The LEADER
never aspifed to be anything but a
live, local paper, covering the
county field without fear or favor,
and it has reason to believe that it
has succeeded reasonably well. 1t
has always endeavoled 10 De free,
unprejudfced and unbiased in all
matters. While ever aiming to be
independent it has not been imbecile
enough to be void of all opinion in
important matters, from the fear
thai. it would lose support of some
kind. While voicing a vigorous
opinion on all matters it has never
reproached nor maligned a man for
holding different belief. Of
course in the pursuance of this
course it has necessarily made$ome
enemies, but its enemies are areeng
the trucking cuckoos that never
have an opinion of their own unIil
somebody makes up their minds
for them, and this class of people it
can afford to have arrayed against
| it.
During the past year, in spite Of
the hard times, the LEADERS sub
scription list has shown gratifying
increase, nearly one hundred new
subscribers being added thereto.
This, we deem, to be exceedingly
gratifying in the face of the hard
times and general business depres-
sion. And the LEADER has made
a rule to never force itself upon
any man. 1t has never been mailed
to-any mans address unless he: or
some one for him, ordered it. 1t
is simply all outrage to nail a man
a copy of paper without his order
and then ask him to pay for lit.
And the LEADER has been run on
business basis. 1t has never
asked support for charity's sake,
but purely on business basis.
And not one public or charitable
enterprise has been started here
since March 8, 1893, but what the
LEADER has helped through its
columns and financially besides.
In starting out on its fifth year it
expects to pursue exactly the same
course in the future as in the past
1t hopes and expects to be factor
in the upbuilding of Lincoln county,
and all parts thereof.
