The Oyster Crop and Prices.
washington Messenger

washington Messenger)
Oysters are higher in this market than
in the history of the town. In fact, the
huckster's prices are so high they are
really luxury and out of the reach of
the pocket books of any of our citizens
except the we'll to- do. This condition
of affairs the hucksters say is the ad-
vance in the prices of the boatmen who
bring the oysters from the rocks to this
city. The boatmen say they are not to
blame and thev are making less money
thar any previous year, and the advance
in price is caused by the oystermen sta
toned at The rocks who are charging
from 10 to 40 cents per bushel when
they were glad to get % cents last year
The boatmen say further the oystermen
stationed at the rocks are having a pic
pic this year, and they are working the
beds for all they are worth. There is
virtually no oyster patrol boat this year
to prevent the illicit taking of oysters,
as the Lilly is anchored in the river OPP

in the sound is composed of small gaso-
line launch and two schooners. which is

What Southerners Do.

r. f. Clayton in Southern Farm Ma
gazine of Baltimore, for January, says:
The writer of this is acquainted with
a gentleman of Southern Georgia who
came home from the army a financial
bankrupt He started vegetable CT
truck farm; today he owns a large block
of stock in one of the best banks in the
State. is one of its principal officers, and
his check is good for $4,000. Another
gentleman in Alabama commenced farm
ing at the same time and under the
same circumstances, and he put the first
cargo of melons for the season into Bos--
ton at forty cents each for the entire
cargo, and disposed of his first peaches
at a fabulous price. A prominent ,x-
Confederate general went home from the
war into the valley of Lynch river in
West irginia, and l him the first
time he CAME out, and he was reputed to
be worth $250,000. These men did this
farming in the South. The present op-
portunity to the farmer in the South
never looked brighter, and is equal to
that of any country, if he will use his
brain and his muscle. The South is sus-
ceptible of maintaing twice its present
population. The rapid strides of the last
decade have been marvellous, and its flu
ture is destined to surpass the eXpecta-
tion of its most sanguine people. 1t has

THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Their Health And Beauty

tonic, Peruna:

few doses always make me feel like a
different woman. "---FIorenCe Allan. :
Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce !
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation of the heart
and heavy feelings in the stomach. !
Then begins q series of experiments.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prostra- !
ton, for palpitation of the heart, for
dyspepsia. None Of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitgates all these
symptoms by removing the cause. J
| i
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can !
be expected until the systemic catarrh
| is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.

FrightfuI Torture is Inflicted on
Negro in Virginia
LITERALLY TORN TO PIECES
The Trembling wretoh's skin Torn
From Body, His Tongue Cut Out
and the Mangled Form
Is Burned.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 11.-A special to
the Register from Bluefelds says;
The full details of one of the blacklist
crimes that has ever blotted the history
of the state has Just reached this city
The little town of Devon, Mingo county,
was the scene yesterday of the assaulting
of a 14-year-old girl by a negro. followed
by his subsequent lyaching by an enraged
mob numbering over 200 men. The little
girl was caught a short distance from
her home by the black fiend and carried to
a neighboring wood where her body was
tied to a tree. bound and gagged. Her
absence was noticed by the neighbors
who Immediately formed themselves into
a searching party. She was found in an
almost dying condition but was able to
tell the horror-stricken searchers the
story.
Wild were the cries for vengeance when
the little girls story was heard, but after
a consultation it was decided to lay In
-
walt for the negro. In a short time he
appeared and the entire mob Of concealed
searchers emerged and made for him. He
would have been torn limb from limb on
the spot but the horrible crime demanded
a more cruel death and cool heads kept
the enraged mob back and the negro
was dragged to the village common and
bound to a tree. Again the mob gave
vent to their wild desire for revenge and
it was by the greatest efforts Of the lead
ers that they were kept back.
The clothing Of the black man was torn
from his body and pins tacks. pen knives
and every conceivable weapon of torture
was stuck into the skin of the negro as
he struggled and vainly pleaded for his
life. He was allowed to suffer with his
body bleeding in a thousand places. The
almost lifeless form of his little victim
was then placed before the glaring eyes
of the negro while willing hands cut the
tongue from his swollen mouth. His
cries became incoherent and before the
enraged citizens could be checked the
skin was literally cut from his body and
distributed among the villagers. He died
with his eyes on the little girl whose life
he had ruined.
His heart was then cut out with jack
knives, his toes and fingers chopped off
and carried away and mementoes. His
bloody and mangied form was then
soaked with kerosene and fired.
