A Monkeys Intelligence.

An extraordinary instance of the in
telligence of a monkey in the Royal
Park, Melbourne, Australia. has been
chronicled. A monkey in large cage
was trying to reach a nut which had
been thrown down on the gravel path.
Putting its arm through the bars and
stretching as far as possible, 1t found
that the nut was just beyond his reach.
There was straw on the floor of the
cage, and going to the back, where it
evidently expected to find the straw
less damaged, 1t tested straw after
straw, discarding them one by one, not
thinking them strong enough for the
purpose. At last 1t found satisfac-
tory one, returned with it TO the front
of the cage, and very quickly, with this
aid, hooked the nut close enough to be
picked UP.

JIM MARTIN HURT.
A Log Rolled Over Him. At
Calvin Wednesday.

Wednesday morning at $50
O'Clock DR.. l. f. Siess received a
message from DR.. f. L. Drum
mond at Calvin calling him in
consultation over an accident
which had occurred at the Dallas
Lumber Company's mill there.
DIR. Siess went up on the 8 o'clock
L. & A. passenger and assisted
DIR. Drummond in setting and
dressing the right leg of Jim
Martin, which had been broken
by log rolling over it.
Martin was rolling a log on the
carriage and his canthook broke
or slipped. This caused him to
fall and the log rolled on him.
He managed to keep it from roll
ling over his body by holding il
with his hands. The ankle was
crushed and the bone of the leg
was broken above the ankle. A
boy, who was assisting Mr..
Martin, was also bruised som i.
bat not seriously injured.

Land Values Enhanced.

Several years ago Hon. A. K,
Clingman, who had q small nurs-
cry at Homer, decided t. move
to Keithville on account of the
superior shipping advantages of
that town. At that time there
was very little fruit of any kind
grown in the neighborhood. and
land was worth about IS per acre.
Now land is considered cheap at
$50 and $25 an acre, and nearly
every farmer there has . good
orchard, and many have large
ones that are beginning to yield
them handsome returns. One
day two weeks age there were
two car loads of early June
peaches shipped from Keithville
to Northern cities, which brought
their owner handsome returns.
Why can we not do the same?
Let US try.

He Was Satisfied.

The Minneapolis Tribune tells
us of a planter who employed a
negro to work some of his land
during the last year on shares.
On account of the high price of
cotton the negroes half of the
proceeds amounted to $1,000.
The planter knew that it would
ruin any Afro-American to get
such sum of money, and decid-
ed that half of it is enough.
Upon further reflection the con-
viction grew upon him that $500
would ruin any negro in the
world, SO he cut the sum In half
again, and piling four hundred
shining silver dollars on his desk,
sent for the negro and said he
was ready to settle. The man
fairly gasped at the amount Of
wealth in sight.
$50 Gawd, Boss he said.

1T WAS AN
ORDERLY AFFAIR.
Majority Of Men In the County
Take Part in the Lynching
Proceedings.

Europa, Miss, June 26.-At
10 o'clock this (Sunday)morning
under a blazing summer sky, the
negro rapist, Startling Dunham,
was hanged by a mob in the
square at Europa, Miss. He
died slowly by strangulation, and
when taken down, about an hour
later, was turned over to his
negro relatives at this place for
burial. Later on, the body, in a
casket, was opened to the gaze of
the public on the principal street
of the town. The whole lynch
ing was done in the most orderly
manner and resembled to a large
extent the legalized hanglngs.
Not a shot was fired during the
day, and in the afternoon the
large crowd had dispersed and
only a few of the more curious
hung about the coffin and discuss
ed the affair. The little daugh-
ter of John Wilson, who was one
of the children outraged by the
brute, placed the moose about his
neck and afterwards led the large
black stallion On which the ne
gro was seated from under him.
Her father, stepmother. and
little brother were with her on
the scene. The three Dunn
caildren, all girls, on whom the
negro also attempted rape, were
also present with their parents,
but viewed the hanging from a
distance, taking no active part in
it.
This morning Sheriff Cooper
was called upon early by a small
posse, who after chasing him
about a hundred yards, forced
him to give up the keyes
of the Jail. The negro was then
taken out and Quietly brought to
Eupora. While the lyncbing was
conducted perfectly in the open,
with no attempt at cOncealment,
there is not the slightest chance
of any indictments following it.
No jury could be found in the
country for such case. and, in
fact. nearly every available jury
man was present at the hanging,
and therefore disqualified from
sitting in judgement. The senti-
ment here is that the community
is to be congratulated at having
cot rid of the brute in such a
peaceable fashion. In other
words, it is felt to be a very nice
sort of a lynching party. There
was at one time quite = strong
sentiment in favor of burning,
but cooler counsels prevailed.
