SHOULD NOT MARRY.

An exchange gives the following
list of men who should not have mar.

porting wife when she is working

bonnet ought to cost about seventy
five cents
The man who provides himself

The man who thinks all women are
angels.
The man who thinks it is "all non
sense for a woman to want a few

and com bines both at home and

rights Of orr people as to make these

unanimous voice of the people should

II the better class of negroes would
ostracise the loafers and law violators
of their race and help the officers to
run them down and hang them on
the spot it would have a wonderful
effect for the better. But instead of
this they are inclined to harbor them,
shield them from the law, it matters
not how horrible the crime, and thus
aid and abet the very class that
should receive the most severe pun
ishment. Talk about giving the ne
gro an industrial education, but the
first thing that should be done is to
let him know that if he commits a
crime he will be hunted down by his
own race and turned over to the proper
authorities. Again, when one of the
ladies of the house who cooks for
the poor white trash energies from
the back door with more grub than
she is entitled to she should be made
to unload there and then and carried
before an officer for trial. She has
stolen the grub and every niger
in the neighborhood knows it. But
instead of having her punished she is
encouraged in the theft.

A car builder over in one of the

build them makes the case more Sc

There are four announced candi-
dates for governor, two of whom have
already begun an active canvass. All
have issues Of their own, but Lieuten-
ant Harrison so far has not made his
known. Likely he is waiting until
the prohibition party meets OH the
l7ht of February next when he will
come out on that ticket if some one
else does not get ahead Of him. But
there seems to be no lacking Of issues.
Any old thing will do-any old ex-

The old city Jail, on the Eastern

five years ago. never witnessed before
in its history n more remarkable display
of nerve than that shown by Elijah

age. who, at 12:0s noon yesterday, paid
the death penalty for killing Ida Simms.
a colored girl, in this city on January 1.
Although laboring under a great
strain, the negro murderer went 10 his
doom without flinching or a plea for
mercy, but with a prayer upon his lips.
Suspended a Half Hour.
1t was not until his body had hung
at the ropes end for half an hour that
the jail physicians expressed themselves
satisfied he was dead. The execution
passed off without a mishap, due in no
small measure to the wonderful will
power of the condemned man.
Death was due to strangulation, the
moose having slipped at the springing
of the trap. remarkable feature of
the hanging was that for twenty min
utes the negro's heart beat strongly. a
circumstance the Jail physicians could
not account for.
The execution passed off quietly.
