DWALE, VA, August n.-(Special')-
Robert Stanley. a farmer. was Killed Dy
his brother-in-law, Caleb Lane, at the
latter's house, on Lick Fork creek, the
other day. The particulars of the affair,
as CLEANED by your correspondent are
about as follows: The men were hvihg
within a short distance OF each othef'
and one Of Lanes hogs went to stan
ley's premises and was bitten by his dog
at which Lane became angered, ana
taking his gun, watched about Stanley
house 10 get sight OF the dog. intending
to shoot him. Stanley was gone from
home at the time, but when he came back
his wife informed him what Lane (her
brother) had been doing. He then got his
gun and had his wife TO 90 with nlm'
taking the dog along to Lane mousse
When they reached the premises, stan
ley called to Lane, telling him TO come
out and shoot the Cog II he wished to-
Lane then came out with his gun, but
made no attempt 10 shoot the dog. Inc
men then quarrelled. Lane attempted 10
shoot Stanley, but his gun did not hre.
Stanley then shot at Lane missing him.
when Lane shot Stanley. filling his mead
and face almost literally full OF shot'
from the effects OF which he died in a few
hours.
Information just received from that
neighborhood is to the effect that Lane
surrendered himself 10 the authorities.
William J. Fleming, who turned detec-

He had a man 10 come from there 10
Clintwood TO identify his prisoner as the
man wanted. which he did, but upon
taking the man TO Knoxville 1t turned
out that he is q different man. He IS
John White, OF West Virginia, and Ills

Fleming is out about 500 in money, be
sides considerable time. and the man
threatens TO sue him FOR damages and to
indict him for kidnapping. which under
the statute Of Kentucky, where the ar
rest was made, is a penitentiary ohence.
White came back with Fleming, makinS
the latter pay all his expenses. This is

CoIoueI Cussons Replies TO Haistead.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch
Mr.. Murat Halstead criticises letter
which I wrote the other day on the pro-
posed entertainment of the Grand Army
Of the Republic by the city OF Rich
mond. Mr.. Halstead's structures cover
two points-one one Of which he bubbles,
whilo on tho other he b.unders. He sar-
castically observes that 1.-The doughty
CAPTAIN Of a Thousand is evidently OF
the opinion that only southern men know
what is due TO their hosts" yet he does
not quote one word from my letter III
support Of his slurring imputation
This sheer OF. Mr. Halsteads is
familiar one-always prominent in
northern review of plantation manners
For many years it has done duty as
substitute for fact or argument. Con-
gressional speeches and ford editorials
and habby magazine articles have been
spiced with it for three generations. In
deed. it has been cropping up in Yankee
literature so constantly and so Ions that
no dissertation on a sectional subject
can be considered complete without ii.
But Mr.. Halstead made a curious
blunder in applying It TO this particular
case. His eagle eye caught the words
guest" and "host" and he asked no
more. So the ancient gibe was inserted,
and tho Field Marshals work was done.
Mr.. Halsteads blunder consists In
simple reversal OF persons. places, and
things. My position was that the con-
siderato host would carefully refrain
from doing anything which might sub
ject his guest to undue restraint. and
that Richmond. therefore, in attempting
to entertain her conquerors, might posi-
bly, incur tho peril Of putting herself in
a false light.
Clearly II this thought implies warn
ing or censure OF any sort. it is not
| the guest, but the host--not the Grand
Army, but the city of Richmond-that
should feel aggrieved. Mr.. Halstead is.
indeed, a man Of genius, for surely it

conceive Az error so grotesque as this

As OTHERS SEE Us.
voices Of Millions Praise "a Natural
and Trustworthy Remedy.

This is an advertisement OF Paine's
celery compound.
Paine's celery compound Is The great
American discovery for preserving and
restoring the health.
You may have noticed some former
reference to the compound. but have you
ever thought OF its importance to you?
Are you aware that It is classod rs one
OF the really remarkable discoveries OF
the age? That It is beneficial 10 men.
women. and children? That 1t cures the
most obstinate cases OF neuralgia and
rheumat ism? That II cleanses the blood
and braces the nerves. sets the stomach
right. and tones up the general health
as refreshing shower tones up the
dropping plants Of a thirsty garden?
These are some Of the things which the
voices say that come to us from all parts
of the country They tell their own cx-
perience i'm simple, convincing language.
II was sick, and Painc's celery COM
pound made me WELL" says the great
chorus that resounded from all quarters
Of the compass. 81 was In pain and
agony and the compound brought me
speedy relief" Such are the messages
that como 20 US from everywhere. They
are filed with gratitude and blessing
because OF real good done. and there
is not one uncertain note in the swelling
anthem Of approval and benedictlon.
Is not this an achievement TO be proud
Of? But the greatest satisfaction is found
in the fact that millions more may yet
be relieved, If they only learn IN time
OF the great remedy that Is within their
reach and set about putting Us virtues
20 the test. The foundation Of healing
and Of health like the fountain OF
knowledge, will not give forth its trea-
sures without an effort on the part OF
him who seeks them.
You have only to glance AZ the testi-
monials OF the great, the learned, the IA
nous and prominent men and women
who have used Paine's celery compound,
and been cured by IL. to be convinced
that Science has not produced any other
remedy that can be compared with II
for a moment. Its mission IS 10 all men.
and It's field is the world. Try IL before
the vital forces run too low. and you
will be rewarded as those millions have
been who sing its praise.
