negress was being borne along by the
tumultuous human wave. For an in

the fierce passions surging behind him,
he made desperate effort, to alight
from the vehicle, but so dense was the

sea of flame, in whose depths human
figures seemed to march, met his gaze.

nearly 100 years before when the

damned against carriage, the prog

silent man. In the glare of the

indelibly fixed in her memory by the
brief flame of a match; it was the
face of Richard Somers, cold and i'm

out calmly, almost coldly, over her

not Virginian, and the hour awoke

The deer which for years con-
stituted the main attractions at
Heads park, were sold last week to
Mr.. j. M. Avant, the we'll known
sportsman of Hardeman county, and
transferred in wagons to his home
at Hickory Valley. They brought
for the lot of thirteen the ridicu-
lousy low figure of $36, when care
fully advertised they should have
each been sold for near that sum.
In his lifetime the late Mr.. John r.
Head had few pets he priced more,
and he looked after them carefully,
and their passing from the county
was reminder to his friends of the
uncertainties of life and property.
One of the herd escaped and for
several days our hunters have been
chasing him, until last Monday,
after three hours run he was
pulled down and killed by hounds

day night Of last week, two masked
men entered the depot office at Boil

tor, Ernest Shelton. AT the point OF
a pistol, he was ordered to open the
money drawer and the safes. The
former request the operator complied
with, but he did not know the com
binations to the safes. The robbers
blindfoldcd Shelton, carried him {
distance of fifty yards and locked
him in a box-car. While one of thu
men stood guard, the other return &c
to the Office and blew open the rail
road safe and the safe of the Amer
lean Express Company. The booty
secured was between forty and fit!
dollars in cash and the watch of thu
operator. Detectives are at worl
on the case, but so far they have NJ

The Beers Win a Victory.

London, Sept. ia dispatch from

September Is, announces that the
Beers on September II, ambushed three
companies of mounted infantry with
three guns, commanded by Major

the sights and breechblocks of which
were first destroyed. Two officers and
IA men were killed and five officers and
25 men were wounded. Five officers
and 15O men were made prisoners.
Major Cough, who escaped during the
night, reports that the Beers number
ed 1000 men and that they were COM
manded by Gen. Botha.
Gen. French reports that Comman-
dant SHUTS, in, order to break
through the Gordon, rushed on a
squadron of the Seventeenth Lancers

taken for British troops, lost heavily.
