by two men and two women the night
before he was to be married and after
a scuftie was found by his intended
bride with several wounds from a
knife and with his skull fractured in
several places. He died without re-
vealing the identity of his slayers, who
had ridden swiftly away.
Mrs. Andrews said that she was one
of the party which visited Freeman,
that one Of the men who was present
is dead and the other In the Tennessee
state prison. The woman who accom-
panied them, she said, and who dis
appeared several years ago was mur-
dered because of fear lest she betray
the murderers.
Mrs. Andrews said that she was in
love with Freeman, and one Of the
men was in love with Freeman's in
tended wife, and when they went to
the gate that night a demand was
made that Freeman marry her at once.
When he refused he was fatally stab

Schools Not to Be Cheapened.

There was enough friction at town
meeting to keep things lively but the
old officers we're all reelected and an
auditor elected to keep the balance
even. Some one tried to make out
that the appropriation for schools last
year was more than necessary to have,
but the majority ruled that it would
be poor policy not to give our chill,
dren as good chance as they would
have in other towns and held that 1t
would be wise to fit the rising genera
ton to take the places of these old Of
ficers that had been in so long. 30
the same amount was appropriated for
schools and the advanced school at the
Centre assured of another year. much
to the satisfaction of those who had
scholars there.
