others that are especially suited tor

A Brattleboro newspaper man says
''If all would agree to hold the Windham
county court at either Brattleboro OF
Bellows Falls,no doubt the change would
be appreciated. Every year there is more
or less talk about the removal of the
county buildings to Brattleboro, where
all interests might be better accommo-
dated. The trouble and agitation which
a determined effort in this direction
would cause make the attorneys hest
tate about making an effort to this end.
Whatever the private opinions concern
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of changing the
county seat, there is just enough Don't
dare" sentiment to prevent action. Some
day, it is presumed, when the lawyers
decide to act on the courage of their con-
victions, the movement to bring the
county buildings to Brattleboro will be
favorably and successfully pushed"

The G. A. R. men who participated in
the inaugural parade wanted to act as
escort to the president and did not pro
pose to march unless they had the post
of honor. The marshal did not comply
with their request until the president
made special request that the wishes
of the veterans be respected. We believe
that the veterans were right. If there
are any honors in parade they should
certainly go to the boys in blue.

NEGRO IS STILLIN
HIDING IN WOODS,
Two Charges of Assault to Murder t.
Answer.
SLIPPING ROPES FROM WRISTS
He Showed Guard From Buggy, Sc
cured His Pistol and Fired Upon.
Then Dashing Into the Woods BE
Easily Makes His Escape

The vicinity of De Soto and Cobb is
still being searched for negro wanted
upon the double charge of assault with
intent to murder, and who escaped
from the guard conveying him to De-
Soto for the purpose of haying him
transferred to the jail in Americas for
safe keeping.
The negro lived on the Clay planta-
ton, where he is we'll known.
In an alteration with another farm
hand this negro pulled his gun and
used 1t, inficting upon the other a
rather serious wound.
After the shooting the negro made
his escape, but encouraged by cash
reward offered by Mr.. Clay the other
negroes effected his capture. Secure
ly tied with ropes, he was placed in a
buggy in the charge of Mr.. Howard,
who is superintendent for Mr.. Clay,
and started towards De Soto.
But he was not to be carried to the
coop quite so easily.
When the buggy had gone mile or
two on the way the negro had quietly
slipped the ropes from has wrist, thus
freeing his hands,
Springing upon Mr.. Howard, who
was taken unawares, the negro pushed
him from the buggy and at the same
time secured possession of Towards
pistol, which was lying upon the bug
gy seat just between them.
Pointing the weapon at Mr.. Howard
upon the ground, the negro fred one
shot at him and jumping from the bug
gy dashed into the woods and easily
made his escape.
Mr.. Howard made an attempt to fol-
low, but the negro was too feet of foot
for him, and the further fact that two
cases of attempted murder probably
accelerated his speed. But at all
events he seemed to soar among the
tree tops and was very soon out of
range. Mr. Clay and Mr.. Howard
will make every effort to run him to
cover, and the next attempt to land
him in Jail will be successful,

AGAIN REACHES THE QUARTER.
Cotton is Higher Than in Several
DAYS Past.

Once again the farmer is on top as
regards the price of cotton, and more
dollars are coming into his pocket from
the sale of the feecy staple. Steadily
the price is advancing, and within
few days may reach higher level
than it has within q month.
Seven and quarter cents is what it
is worth in Americas.
That was the price paid yesterday
for good middllng, and as the weather
is favorable for picking there is a good
deal of cotton of this high quality in
Americus warehouses.
For two or three weeks past the mar
ket has been dragging along below the
seven cent mark, and it seemed diff
cult indeed for it to get out of this rut.
Farmers, many of them, let go at the
price offered aud parted with cotton at
7 cents which is worth more now.
But the present condition of the mar
ket could not be foreseep, else they
would have held on. In the meantime,
both the seller and buyer are pleased
at the recent sharp advance.
