|mOrning was drawn up, empty, to
the Varnado store by the fright
ened horse Monday night. Mr..
Varnado's son then drove back
along the road until be found his
fathers body lying in the dust.
The news last Monday created
excitement throughout the coun-
try side. Whisperings began i'm
mediate'y. The coroner's jury
set to work at once.
At the funeral of the murdered
man one of the ministers said that
nearly every one was morally GER
tain who did the deed, but that no
one was prepared to make oath as
to who did il. Certain persons,
it is asserted, testified before the
coroner's jury sthat two well
known men had been seen in the
woods near the scene of the kill
ing only q few minutes before it.
occurred. It was shown in the
testimony that the two persons
referred to had been carrying
|shotguns, sIung in cases over their.
shoulders, and that they seemed
anxious not to attract attention.
From the first the gossip of the
country side coupled the name of
june" Bacot with the murder.
Mr.. Bacot is a prominent mer-
chant, with large clientele
throughout the rural districts
tributary to Osyka and the other
small towns about.
Gossip grew to open charges.
Meantime the coroner's jury con-
tinued at work, and witnesses
came and went, adding to the mass
of evidence. Then the warrants
were issued, and today the arrests
followed.
The feeling in this section is
intense. The lines are sharply
drawn between those who believe
in.the guilt of Mr.. Bacot and
those who assert his innocence.
1t is felt that something may
develop within few days unless
steps to forward justice are taken
rapidly.
A peculiar feature of the killing
is that while all the persons in
yolyed in the killing are supposed
to be residents of Mississippi, the
crime was committed in Louisiana,
and consequently the trial will be
held in that State. It is expected
that steps will be taken tomorrow
to have the two suspects transfer
red from the authority of the
State of Mississippi to that of
Louisiana. It is said in Magnolia
today, however, that habeas cor
pus proceedings will be begun at
once, and that any requisition
from the Governor of Louisiana
upon the Mississippi authorities
will be contested.

Beacham...CraWford.

There was an elopement from
Heuck's Retreat Sunday. Mr..
Marion Beacham and Miss Liddie
Crawford, the fair couple, were
on their way to J. G. Bryant's
and, luckily, met him and by re-
quest and with authority did then
and there in the road celebrate the
rites of matrlmony between them.
Mr.. Beacham is worthy man,
possessed of good morals and
Christian aspirations and we are
sure he has won the heart and
hand of one who will advance his
interests along these lines. May
peace and joy be theirs.

Wall, also q resident of Osyka
were arrested here this morning
by i. M. Lee, sheriff of Pike
county, and were placed in Jail
at Magnolia, Miss, charged with
being the murderers Of !. n. Var
nadO, pr0minenb merchant Of
Osyka, who was killed near the
place last Monday. The warrants
were issued by j. G. Wilson, JUS
tice Of the peace at Osyka.
Mr.. Varnado was killed last
Monday evening while drying in
q buggy from Kentwood, La, to
Osyka, Miss. the deed being per-
petrated in Louisiana, but within
q few rods of the Mississippi line.
He was apparently killed By two
charges from a double -barreied
shotgun loadsaa with buckshot.
From all the evidence, the charges
must have been fred at close
range from the side and rear of
the buggy, and caused instant
death.
Justice Of the Peace r. T..
Draughan of Tangipahoa parish,
La, impaneIed the following cor
oner's jury: w. ". Brock, w. J..
Brum6eld, Geo. A. Kennon, Alex.
Hughes and j. Catha. This jury
was Investigating the killing all
week, and only arrived at d YER
dict late yesterday. The verdict
was sealed and deposited with the
clerk of the court at Amite City.
Much lies behind the bare
events here chronicIed. The as
sassination of Mr.. Varnado caus-
ed much excitement all through
Pike county and Tangipahoa par
ish, La, adjoining. Itwas known
that Mr.. Varnado had been in
lyolved in certain feuds which
ragged about FrankIinton, La, and
Osyka, Miss, several years ago,
but the majority of the citizens of
the parishes and counties interest
ed believed that these old differ
ences had been settled. Others
knew, however, that the embers
were slnoldering and were apt to
break into flames at any moment.
Mr.. Yarnado was in business
for many years in Franklinton,
and while there was once desr
perately wounded, a load of buck
shot being fired into bis house
through an open window. It was
only after a long confinement that
he recovered.
.Phe shooting last Monday,
which resulted Ia the death Of Mr..
Varnado, occurred in lonely bit
of the road from Kentwood to
Osyka. It was only discovered
after the buggy in which Mr..

Letter to II. c, SinCelI,

Dear Sir: Clothing is just like paint:
1t fits or it don't it wears or it don't
turns weather and water or not; and
goes out of fashion.
What do we wear clothing for? Did
you ever think of it? Different per-
sons have different reasons, mo doubt,
but one paints Devoe for beauty, to
be in the fashion, and keep-out water.
Fashion says paint: we all paint.
There is beauty in paint; wepaint a
good deal for that. And buildings
are costly and fashionable; put-on a
waterproof two or three coats of paint,
and your buildings last as long as
you keep them dry. 1t costs nothing
to paint; it costs your buildings not
to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts; disap-
pointing paints are the paints that
cost.
Yours truly

the front, where it could throw CAMS

was a veteran of the Prussian army
and gave it as his experience that there
was not another case on record where
a battery of artillery advanced with a
column Of charging infantry to a point
near enough to the enemy's works TO
use canister with effect
Colonel Upton's brigade OF the Sixth
corps was led in the charge by the
Second Connecticut heavy artillery,
acting as infantry. 1t was a new regi-
ment, one of those received at the
front in those days with cries OF

were 1.400 men in the ranks Fixed

the orders for these novices in war
The Connecticut men formed line about
400 yards from the enemy and advanc-
ed across an open space at quick step,
aiming for re-entering angle in the
intrenchments. A thin pine wood shell
tered the column for a moment at the
start but when it emerged from that
shelter the fury of the Confederate fire
increased Men fell at every step.
Calamity the gaps made by the bullets
were closed, and a solid line rushed for

Ordinarily soldiers on the defensive
would not receive an assault so cOolly,
but would be expecting flank attack
or other stealthy maneuver under COW
err Of the bold advance. But from their
experiences at the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania the Confederates could
well believe that their foe would come
blindly on in droves, like sheep, to be
shot down at will. Grants personal
memoirs contain a startling confession
with respect to this grand charge ut
Cold Harbor. Writing twenty years
after the event the general declared Il

proved the danger it had faced. Out of
800 shot down 129 were killed outright
and 1911 wounded.
The Fifth New Hampshire veteran
volunteers went into the grand charge
at Cold Harbor with fighting reputa-
ton to maintain. After Gettysburg,
where its original leader. Colonel E.
e. Cross, was killed, only ninety-seven
men remained with the colors. 1t re-
ported back to the army on the field Of
Cold Harbor on June ! with veterans
and fresh recruits to the number of
81 and dashed forward in the Second
corps column at daybreak that fatal
morning of June 3.
At the first rush the New Hamp-
shire men bounded over the parapet
of Confederate battery without firing
a single shot but depending upon the
bayonet, and charged for the enemys
second line. Having no supports. the
daring fellows were finally compelled
to fall back to the battery, which they
did, disputing every foot of the way
In hand to hand struggle The aRtil-
lerists of the battery threw themselves
upon the retreating foes, but the gal
liant fellows rallied to one another's
aid and beat off their assailants one by
one.
A captain was the last to leave the
battery when the Fifth was finally
overcome and driven out. His parting
blow was sword cut, which split
Confederate from the shoulder down
ward, leaving him dead and nearly de-
capitated by the side of his gun. Ter
rible work that, but the Fifth was used
to it, At the Bloody Lane" Antietam,
Colonel Cross streaked his face with
blood and powder and sounded the In
dian war whoop in order to incite his
men to stand their ground.
At Cold Harbor the names of sixty
nine heroes were added to the death
roll of this elite regiment, and at the
end of the war the Fifth New Hamp-
shire was accredited with 295 killed in
battle, the highest in any northern
command. GEORGE L. KILMER.
