sensible thing 1 have read in years I have thought for many years the North should bear part of the bur- den' of supporting and making good citizens of the worthless and criminal class of negroes of the South, and I think it would be well for each southern state to make an appropriation every year for the purpose of sending and aiding a lot of such people to emigrate to such states as Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine etc, where their arrival will no doubt afford great pleasure. y

SITUATION BETTER.
Official Report on Smallpox Shows
 Improved Conditions.

Our smallpox situation is grati flying in every way. There is not a case in the city that is suffering any pain, or that is sick in any way except the eruption. Every one is clear of fever and all have good appetites, and are able to be up in their rooms, and we feel that in very short while our city will be entirely clear of the smallpox. While there are quite a number quarantined as suspects, not one of them, so far as we can see, have any of the symptoms, as none ot them ore complaining in anyway. We have released one family today and expect to release others tomor- row, and unless there is an out break of the disease, which we feel confident there will not be, we will release several other families in a few days. Y. M. SCOTT,
 Pres. Board of Health.

TRAIN ROBBERS.
Hold Up Frisco Train Near Jones'
 boro Friday Night.

Concerning the hold-up of a Frisco train near Jonesboro last Friday night, the Jonesboro Enter prise Of Saturday says:
 1 Five men held up the fast Frisco passenger train about five miles from this city last night. The hold- up was .evidently the work of ex- ports, and was a nice job.
 Just this side ofAthe Bonneville hill the engineer was given danger signal, he slackened speed and the switch which had been turned run him into the siding. No sooner had the train stopped than a man on either side of the engine ordered the engineer and fireman to cut the mail, express and baggage cars loose from the passenger coaches, in the mean- time three other men entered the ex- press car and covered messenger Horace Newton with revolvers. He was ordered to give up the money and replied that he had no money. He however gave them the key to a small local safe and they went through that, finding no cash. They then ordered him to open larger safe, but as it works with com bina- tion time lock he could not open it until they reached Thayer. Tie larger man of the gang told Newton that he knew there was money in that car, and had been every night for two months, and uo doubt would Lave killed the messenger, but for the fact that his pal, smaller man urged him not to kill the man and suggested that that nitroglycerine be used. A bottle was produced and the safe was blown into pieces, with three charges, and hole was torn in the side of the car, but no money was found in the safe. So it is said by the express people.
 The robbers then went through some coats and vests which were hanging in the car and found $10.00 in the conductors vest pocket. The passengers were left unmolested, though the two men outside ordert d them to keep inside of the cars.
 After the work of blowing opc n the safe was completed the robbers got on the engine, bade farewell tc engineer, fireman and messenger and continued with the engine to Bonner vile.
 A posse of men and officers went from this city last night to the scene of the hold up. Sheriff Burke, w H. Stamper, Marshal Autry, Frisco Agent J. W. Kennard, Chas Ken. hard and several others, and a posse of officers and others are now ou1 searching for the bandits. A rail. road detective will reach this city tonight and it is believed these rob. bers will be caught. An effort wa: made last night to get blood hound. from Memphis, put they could nor be procured.
