VIII Locate Here.

E. A. Clark and wife. of What
Cheer, Iowa, were visitors in Canon
City over Sunday and are greatly
pleased with the outlook here. Mr..
Clark is practical carriage builder,
and being desirous of leaving Iowa,
is looking for new location. He
has read much about our city but on
his arrival here is surprised to find SO
attractive place. If he can find a
good business opening in his line he
will locate here. The RECORD ac-
knowledges pleasant call ard hopes
that Mr.. Clark will find it to his inter
est to remain with Canon perma-
nently.
P. S.-Since the above was put in
type Mr.. Clark has purchased of F. A.
Reynolds lot at the corner of Tenth
and College, and has left for his home
in Iowa. He informs the RECORD
that he will return in about ninety
days and become resident of our
city.
Notwithstanding the new order by
the City Council regarding the use
of water for irrigating purposes out
side of the hours 5 to s, each morn
ing and evening, there must be some
who are disregarding the order. 1t
is a certainty that many people while
irrigating their lawns use such large
quantities of water that the sidewalks
are transformed into pools and mud
holes. The right to use water, does
not carry with it the right to abuse
the rights of ones neighbors. A
word to the wise is sufficient.

THE LYNCHING IN BOSSIER

hglous supersti'ions can at once see

gcrous influences Prophet Smith

negroes, aDd,thst the. Situation should
have driven the white people OF
Bossier parish to extreme measures,
however much the step, was deplored
is easily understood
There are still alive persons who
remember the tragic events of the
negro outbreak IN Southampton
county, Va, in 1881. A negro
preacher, named Nat Turner, as
sumed the title of "Gsbriel,' and
claiming to enjoy divine Inspiration,
authority and power, undertook the
destruction of the white race aud the
freeing OF the slaves. Starting out
one Sunday night, In the autumn of
1891, Turner, with his little army of
mounted nekIoes, rode swiftly from
house to house in a country neigh
borhoood and slaughtered, without
distinction of age or sex, all the
whites who fell into his hands. In q
short time the negroes had killed So
white persons, including the entire
family of Turner's master, while the
negroes bad not. suffered a single
loss.
"Forty-elght hours elapsed before
the whites were able to make any
Roadway against Turner's sudden aud
ferocious movement, and doubtless
re would have wrought a vast deal
more of haYoc but, flushed with VIC
tory, he attempted to capture Jerusa-
L. M, the seat of Southsm pton county.
There he was met by q determined
body of we'll armed whites who de-
feated the negroes and put them to
rout. Turner and fifty-three other
negroes were captured ard brought
to trial. Of these the leader and sew
enteen others were convicten and
executed by hanging.
"Postibly the only connection that
can be found between the BossieF
murder of week past aud the Nat
Turner massacre of 20 years ago is
that they were instigated by religions
superstition and fansticism. There
have been, In the history Of the
