committees were appointed, each con-
sisting of five competent and leading
men ofthe town, and they will at once
begin to materialize the plans laid be-

allow the committees plenty of time to

public to base their expectations as
largely as possible and they shall not
be met with disappointment.

one ofthe most atrOolOus crimes
ever committed In this section OF the
South was recorded ct Oorinth on Fri
day last. While 3 man named Whit
held. who e. q workman In q factory,
was at his post Of duty during the
afternoon sometime, a hend entered
his home g mile from town, where his
cultured and handsome wife was
alone, assaulted her and killed her,
mutilating the body in the most
frightful manner, leaving her dead on
the floor with no living witness to tell
how It was all done. Evidences in the
room showed that there had been a
desperate struggle made BY the wo-
man, before her life was sacrificed.
From that hour to this the entire com
munity has been wild in the mad
search for the vile wretch. Several
arrests have been made on suspicion
but nothing definite has been obtained.
Sunday the court house washlled with
people in mass convention seeking to
secure a clue. One white man named
Billy Williams, has been arrested, as
has also one negro named Henry Rob-
inson. Il is claimed that some one
saw the former washing blood from
his shirt. Every effort is being put
forth to stay the hand of violence &C
long as there is any doubt ss to the
guilt Of the accused, but the commun'
ity is determined to wreak vengeance
on the guilty party if the slightest Op.
p%ortunity presents. The murdered
lady was highly respected and wa
handsome and educated. She wa
well known in Memphis, where shr
lived for many years.

The safest conclusion Is that neither
happiness nor goodness is determined
by any particular Industrial, political,
religious OF social position, but almost
entirely by the Individual. More often
than otherwise the possessor OF
wealth, in his mansion is miserable
and sees very few Of the real enjoy
ments Of life, while his neighbOr, who
tolls for the bread that goes upon his
pine table and the scanty clothes he is
able to supply to his wife and little
ones, retires to his humble home IN
the evening refreshed by the glac
smiles which greet him. Happy is the
individual who can see good in every
thing he encounters, whose iovial face
beams with delight when the SUI
rises, and who hops up to enjoy the day
instead Of grooming because be mus
