Austin'S New Telephone Serv ice.

Austin's New Telephone Service.
From Lyle Tribune:
A new independent telephone comp
any is being organized at Austin by
the merchants and farmers in that
vicinity. A petition has been circulat-
ed and large number have signed.
The directors for the company are b.
F. King, Jacob Weisel, James keenan,,
Lafayette French, Henry Birkett,
John Gulden and Joseph keenan,.
This action is taken, it seems, as a re-
suit of the Northwestern company re-
fusing to connect with the Farmers
telephone company at that place as
they had agreed to. There will be free
connection between the city and the
Farmers line and city rates will be very
low so as to induce large number to
install the instrument. We wish the
enterprise much, success as many of
these modern cOnveniences are making
life more enjoyable.

Adieu. departing year!
Time tolls thy passing kneu;
Thy toll and care, thy hope and fear,
Forevermore FAREWELL
Swift as the ehuttle flies,
Thy days their course have sped;
Naught but the trail of memories,
Marks that a year has fed.
In sunshine, and in gloom.
As clouds that cross the sky,
Change upon change has followed soon,
As day by day went by.
Alas, the good undone!
Alas the evil wrought!

In word, or deed, or thought?

The coming year to greet!
And grace to walk in faith serene,
Where it leads our feet.

Adams, the negro who inhumanly
killed his wife and daughter last
night shooting them down like dogs,
surrendered to Sheriff Bell late last
night and begged TO be saved from
lynching at the hands of the infuriat
ed crowds of colored citizens gathered
at his home. Adams states to-day
that the killing of his wife was unin-
territorial as he meant to kill his sis
ter-in-law when he fired. The brute
expressed qualification at having kill
ed his daughter and gave Sheriff Bell
the names of four other negroes whom
he declares he also intended killing
last night.
1t is common report that Adams has
for years been having criminal inter
course with his daughter, the muir
dered girl. She was to have been
married tomorrow and the thought of
having to give her up is assigned as
the motive for the murder. Adams
other intended victims were relatives
of the girl who were abetting the
marriage. When captured Adams
still had seven buckshot shells, a pint
of whiskey and bottle of strychnine
in his pocket. He declares he con-
templated suicide with strychnine af-
ter having murdered his five victims.
Adams is a professional cook and a
mulatto negro of unusual intelligence.
