Judge S. II. Terrell took the oath
of office on the 10th inst. as one
OF the Supreme court judges. He
Is q gentleman of ripe legal attain.
nients and has made an enviable rep

and his elevation TO the supreme
bench will be Of great benefit TO the
state.
y will be remembered by your
readers that several years ago two
robbers shot and killed Capt. White
at Clinton, Miss. Chief Of Police

robbers. He accomplished this by
working on the well known Crook

jewelry store OF this city, lie learn
ed from McGowen that one OF the
men is in Jefferson City, Mo. and
the other In Des Moines, Iowa, both
serving terms in the peniteutiafy,
Chief Ewing wrote the wardens OF
these institutions and secured pic
tures OF the two mPn and carried the
pictures down to Clinton where they
were recognized, among quite a
number of other pictures, by parties
who saw the robbers who killed Cant.
White. The term of the man in the
Mo. pea will expire on the 23rd inst.
and he will be brought here aud
tried for the murder Of Cant White.
The other mans term will not expire
for some time yet Chief Ewing de-
serves great credit for the manner in
which lie las located the robbers.
