The sensitiyeness of the families of dis
tinguished men as to the early occupations
OF their ancestors is somewhat remarkable.
Recently an author was asked to write a
brief history of the life OF man who had
done some service to his State. Like Lin
coin, this man had been n woudchOpper, a
fact to which his historian gave promi-
nencc.
Don't say he was .woodchopper, said
the spokesman for the family; "that will
never do "

author.
"Stay-let me see, now. Just say that he
was connected with the lumber business !"

It WA Worked by an Ohio Farmer Oh His

! Most people have known for some time
past that people had been driven into
many questionable enterprises by the era
of prosperity inaugurated by MAJOR Nc
| Kinley, and the fact that the weather has
| also come under general Obsersation, but
here is story which combines those two
misfortunes in a way sufficiently novel to
warrant its publication:
Cleveland, July "a successful shell
game of new brand was worked on
Cleveland egg consumers here today by
an honest Ohio farmer, who lives down
on the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus
road, seventy-tive miles southeast of this
city. This time the farmer came near
victimizing his city cousin, anG all but
succeeded. A case of eggs reached the
commission house of viii & Stateler, A
Huron street, this afternoon. When
opened it was found that one of the eggs
had hatched and fifteen minutes later,
when the eggs We're exposed to the air,
a dozen chickens were peeping.
The eggs in the first two layers con-
tanned chickens, most of which were
dead. The commission merchant report
ed that as soon as the eggs were exposed
TO the air chickens were Matched. The
temperature in which the crate Of eggs
had evidently been since the shipment
will not be changed, and all the eggs
will be given an opportunity to hatch.
The commission merchant declined to
give the name of the consignee and
agrees that they now have a good start
in the poultry business The eggs
which are Matching must have been in
temperature OF over 80 degrees for the
past three weeks.

MURDER MYSTERY IN LEE.
A GRUESOME FIND BY THE ROAD.
SIDE.
Old Negro Man and His Wife Killed
by Unknown Parties. Tied To-
gether and Left by the Side
of the Road.

News reached this city yesterday of a
mysterious crime committed in the Cho-
kee district, Lee county, some time dur
ing Friday night last.
On Saturday morning as Mr.. and Mrs.
George LaTrimOre were going from their
home in the Chokee district to Lees burg
Mrs. Larrimore was suddenly startled by
a gruesome sight which met her eyes on
the side of the road
Two bodies were lying there tied to-
gether, both of whom had been murder
ed, and had evidently been dead for sew
eTal hours.
Investigation showed that the bodies
were those of cold man" Peter Smith
and his wife, both of whom were near
70 years of age. They lived on Mr.. Lar
rimores place, and were am inoffensive
old couple, no one supposing they had
an enemy living.
TAey had evidently been bound and
taken from their homes, and then shot
in the back like dogs. Several cartridges
and shells were found near by, but the
rain had obliterated all tracks, and there
seems to be no clue to the perpetrators
of the foul deed.
a coroner's jury was empaneled on
Saturday night, and their verdict was in
accord with the above stated facts.
The community is deeply shocked and
every effort will be made to bring the
murderer8 to justice Albany Herald.
