lowed by MOb's Fearful Work.
Last Saturday night John T. Orr. a
prosperous business man Of Claren-
don, Ark, was assassinated while
making a glass Of lemonade on the
back porch of his residence. The
crime was shrOuded in mystery until
Miss Morris, a Jewess, told some-
body that she knew who fired the
shot. A coroner's inquest resulted
in the arrest of Mrs. Orr. wife OF the
murdered man, and five negroes,
and a warrant for Miss Morris, who
made her escape. Mrs. Orr was
charged with hiring the negroes to
do the murder. Orr's life was in.
sured for 5000, and he and his wife
lived unhappily.
Last Tuesday night Mrs. Orr killed
herself by taking poison, and an
Infatuated mob took the five ne.
grues-three of whom were women
from the Jail and strung them to d
| tree.

Little Preston, the six. year old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. g. fl. Page, near
Fernvale Springs, died on Wednes-
day, Aug. 3rd, at p. m, and was
buried in the family cemetery. He
met with an accident necessitating
the amputation of three of his fing-
ers, which resulted in blood poison
and Ock-jaw, causing his death in a
very few days.
God, in his all wise providence,
has taken this beautiful, pure little
bud from its earthly home, and trans.
planted it in that cline where blight
never comes; in the beautiful para
disc, where little tired feet and ach-
ing heads shall forever rest. This
little sunbeam was the idol of it's
fond parents hearts, who cherished
so much hope in him. To the heart
broken parents and sorrowing little
brothers and sisters, we tender our
deepest sympathy and prayers, and
know they can only find comfort by
bowling to the will of our Heavenly
Father, and asking his aid in this
hour of their sad bereavement.

CONVICTED OF FORGERY

g. =. Roberts the Memphis Lawyer, Given
Three Years in Prison.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 9-The case Of c..
P. Roberts did not prove a trouble
some one to the trial jury, for, after
a comparatively brief weighing Of
its merits, a verdict of guilty was
returned and the penalty fixed at
three years in the penitentiary. Mo-
ton for new trial was entered.
The charge against Roberts was
forgery, with intent, as set up by
the State, to bring about miscar-
riage of justice in the case Of A. X d.
Ward, the alleged 100000 fOrger.
The jury found that he erased two
names from an obscure hotel regis
lister and substituted thereon the
name of w. H Bates, a supposed
mythical character, introduced in
Wards defense as the real indorser
of a note in place Of a well-known
business man of Memphis of that
name and partner of Wards father
in-law.
To combat the claim by the State
that it was ruse, the defense was
never able to produce the witness,
and the States contention was that
Roberts placed the name of Bates
on the register to establish that he
was man of flesh and blood, who
occasionally came to Memphis.
The jury took this view of it; hence
the verdict
