surprise for her. AS she entered her
school room in the afternoon her pupils
greeted her with, 1--WE wish you merry

GRATED and laden with many beautiful
things. Her looks and words of surprise
were answered with chorus of They
are all for you" Not one pupil out OF
her large school failed to bring her some
gilt and some were very fine ones. 1t
was most graceful way Of showing
their love and respect Tor her, and her
words of gratitude and pleasure for their
thoughtuIness fully assured all that
their kindness and love was fully appre-
ciated. IL was day long to be remem-
bered by teacher and pupils and one OF
the pleasant things which help to

Terrible Punishment of a Horrible
Crime.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. s.-A
special to the Gu.cttc from Fort Smith,
Ark, says:
Justice in a more horrible form than
was meted out to Henry Smith, at
Paris. Tex, was administered by a
mob on the Oklahoma border Friday
night to j. Marcus McGeisey and Pal
mer Simpson, two Seminole Indians.
They we're charged with murder, their
victim being Mrs. Jackson Simmons,
respectable farmers wife, Living in
Oklahoma. The crime was most re-
voting one. and the criminals were
punished in most revolving manner.
Mrs. Simmons was outraged and muir
dered: the body was horribly mutila-
ted: the crime resembled in atrocity
those perpetrated in the Greek nation
by the famous Buck gang, the mem
bers of which were hanged at Fort
Smith two years ago.
The murder and mutilation Of Mrs.
Simmons so enraged the neighborhood
that nearly the entire population turn
ed out to hunt down and punish the
guilty parties. The trail led the posse
to the home of McGeisey, near Maud,
a small town in the Seminole nation,
where McGeisey and Simpson were
arrested.
After securing their prisoners the
mob set fire to McGeisey's house and
barn, and did not leave until they saw
all of his earthly possessions reduced
to ashes.
The prisoners were tEen carried
back across the line into Oklahoma
Territory, and near the scene Ct their
crime. where they were executed by
Judge Lynchs order in the most hor-
riblc manner that human minds and
hands could devise.
They were burned at the stake.
The Indians met their doom with
the usual stoicism Of their race. At
ter life was extinct the mob allowed
the fires to die out and they hurriedly
dispersed to their several homes.
No secret was made of the fact that
the Indians had been burned to death
and this morning their charred bodies,
burned beyond recognition, were found
lying in the houses Of their funeral
pyre.
Everybody in the vicinity seems to
know that the Indians were executed
for the murder of Mrs. Simmons. but
everyone appears to be entirely igno;-
rant of the individuals who composed
the mob.
Information was received here of
the terrible affair from persons who
saw the charrcd bodies of the Indians.
Great uncasiness exists along the
Oklahoma border, ard the impression
PREVAILS that much more bloodshed
will follow the work of the mob.

A Horror In East Tennessee.

KNoNylLLE, Tenn, January Ga
special from t;rcenville, Tenn, says:
The most horrible and shocking crime
which this little town has ever seen
was the determination of the entire
family Of Capt. \. W. Carter, an cx-
Federal officer. last night. the hour
not being known.
Capt. Carter while temporarily in
sane. Drained his aged wife with an
axe and then with the same weapon
inflicted wounds upon his daughter
which caused her death to-day. AT
ter committing this terrible deed Capt.
Carter with an old revolver shot him
self. The only other inmate OF the
house was Walter C'ass, aged II years.
The boy was asleep upstairs. but
about :. clock this morning was
awakened by groans. and upon lnvcs-
tigation found the terrible state of at
fairs as above related. The young
lady was in Il dying condition and
never recovered. The boy gave the
alarm ana to-day the town has been
wild. Capt. Carter mind has for the
past three years been unbalanced,
caused by the death Of a daughter.
He was considered one Of the best
citizens of Greene County. At the
time of his death he was commander
Of Burnside Post, No. s. &. a. r.
He was captain of company Of cav
airy in the 1st Tennessee Volunteers.

some localities taxes are RENTED for

tion is put so low SO that the taxes
are merely nominal.

for cotton spinning. but for weaving
will probably rot compare with Fall
River or New Bedford, but as artiG-
cial humidity is used in the latter
places most of the time. all that is
necessary is to use it in the South all
the time.
will say here that in most of the
weave rooms | visited, they were not
running their humidi6ers, as the
weather conditions were all right for
good results. This would be unusual
in New England this time of the year,
where every weave room has air
moistening going on every day.
There are some disadvantages
against them, though they are slight
when put against low wages and long
hours. The principal one is high
rate Of interest, which is twice as
high as in New England.
The distance from the machinery
and supplies is another which causes
supply bills to be high. This briefly
is the view Of an observer liable to be
mistaken in some of his conclusions,
where only few weeks were spent in
investigation. though [ firmly believe
that short as the time was, it still was
long enough to allow correct conclus-
ions.
[ see no other reason why the South
should con6ne itself to coarse numbers
and short cotton. They can very soon
train their help to fine spinning and
fancy weaving for which they have the
same advantages as on coarse goods,
viz, low wages and long hours.
1t took New Bedford but a few
years to teach its operatives how to
handle fine goods, aud the South need
not use much longer period to get
the same results.
Cotton manufacturing has great
future in the South, and the advant
ages Of that section should not be un-
derratcd. "lMllmau IN Wool and

Atlanta's Noblest Guests.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis is to be the
guest Of the United Confederate Vet
Grams Association during the reunion
in July. She has been invited and
has accepted. Miss Winnie Davis
and Mrs. Hayes. also the daughter Of
Mr., Davis, has been invited and she

widow and the daughters of the great
Confederate chieftain. A special
train will be sent to these distin-
guished guests, and an escort of vet
erans will bring them to the city.
The escort will be composed of vet
Grams from the various camps of the
State. Already there are large num-
Der of old soldiers who are applicants
for positions on this escort.
Mrs. Davis and her daughters will
be the central figures in all of the re-
ceptions rendered the veterans and at
all of the meetings of the associa-
ton. Their will be a number of re-
ceptions given in honor Of Mrs.
Davis, Miss Davis and Mrs. Hayes.
Just as many attentions as can be
crowded into few days will be shown
them. The coming Of Mrs. Davis and
her daughters is regarded as the
crowning feature Of the reunion.
All of the camps Of the veterans are
now holding frequent meetings to dis
cuss plans for the reunion and perfect
arrangements for the entertaining OF
the old soldiers that are to come.
Tonight Camp Walker will hold
meeting and discuss the situation.
The veterans all over the State are

Dead is Alive.

RuTLEDGE, GA., Jan. S.-One Of
the most peculiar cases in history de-
veloped here to-day when Rev. Robert
Simmons. we'll known preacher Of
this section, who was alleged to have
been murdered last March. appeared
in town shaking hands with his Old
friends. and declaring that great
mistake had been made. His appear
ance created a sensation, that over
shadowed the excitement ten months
ago when it was reported that Sim
mons had been murdered.
At that time it was alleged that
Simmons had been killed by w. II.
Bray, a prominent and influential
farmer of this section, who was knowa
to have shot at him but sufficient evi-
dence for Bray's arrest could not be
secured, and the grand jury did not
find bill. The alleged murder be-
came one Of the criminal mysteries Of
Georgia and every effort to find the
body Of the alleged murdered man
proved futile.
About ten days ago, however, the
decayed body Of man was found,on
the farm of W. FL. Bray buried in
hole The find created a great STIR,
and the alleged tragedy of ten months
ago was quickly recalled. The friends
and relatives of the Rev. Robert Sim
mons identified the body as that Of
the missing man and a coroner's jury
returned verdict that the body was
that of Rev. Robert Simmons and that
death had been produced by a shot
fired by ". II. Bray, and that negro,
Henry Jones, who was employed on
the Bray estate; was an accomplice to
the crime.
Bray and the negro were accordingly
arrested end incarcerated in the Madi-
son jail. Bray protested his innocence,
but the circumstantial evidence was
considered so strong that it was gene
rally predicted by the friends Of the
man alleged to have been murdered
that he would Hang.
The friends of Bray, however, were
determined to work the case to the
bottom, and by shrewd detective work
located the Rev. Robert Simmons in
Hancock county, where he has been
since his mysterious disappearance
from Rutledge the night in March he
was alleged to have been murdered by
Bray. He was secretly returned to
Rutledge last night, and his appear
ance on the streets this morning had
the same effect among the negroes as
if dead man had returned to life.
They could scarcely believe their
eyes. Az order from the court de-
manding the release Of Bray and Jones
was quickly secured, and they were
liberated from the Madison prison to-
day.
The mystery as to the identity Of
the body found has not yet been soly-
ed, and the developments to-day make
that all the more exciting. Whether
some person was murdered and placed
there for the purpose Of riveting sus-
picion upon Bray or whether 1t is
murder mystery that has no bearing
upon the Simmons-Bray affair is yet
to be cleared.
Mr.. Bray is prominent citizen
and his friends are indignant that he
should have been placed in jail for an
alleged crime that developments show
was not committed.-4tlanta Journal.
