Once upon time two women were
talking over their troubles, and while
one was telling her tale OF woe the
other was very impatient TO tell hers.
Finally, after several unsuccessful
attempts, the second woman managed
to tell her story, and as she had the
last say she improved very much on
the tale OF the first woman, In conse-
quence OF which the first speaker was
made quite unhappy.

GREENVILLE, Miss, July 23.- With curses on his lips, with eyes bloodshot and with the expressed wish that the people of Greenville perish in the fires of hell Ashley Cooke died here yesterday. With him, but silent ly, Tom Lauderdale also met his end. Both were convicted of the murder of Engineer G. M. Wray and were hanged from the same gallows, and the swing of a double trap sent both men to their doom. Cooke died boasting that he would be in hell in a few minutes and damning everything and every body. He said that those who had planned his murder would meet their end and that $11,o00 had been deposit ed in bank, $1,000 of which would be paid for the death of each of the eleven men who prosecuted him. The execu- ton was witnessed by 5000 people.
