The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1906-01-19

Don't get the notion because you live
out In the country that it is out of
your line to be an intelligent voter.
The country needs the votes Of its
best citizens, and the lack of them
gives rise to most of the political rot
tenness which curses the present age.
Your forefathers saved the country by
leaving the pillow in the fields and car
rying the musket to war. You can do
a like service by leaving your pillow or
corn husking and casting your vote for
clean men and clean political methods.
The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1906-01-19

With the introduction of modern
labor saving machinery, such as the
riding pillow, the complicated self
binder, the separator, the gasoline
engine. ETC., the old conception Of the
farmer as simple tiller of the SOIL
such as is 80 eloquently pictured by our
poets and authors, must pass away, for
the successful farmer Of this age Is
anything but simple In his ideas. He
must be a mechanic Of no small ability
and a farsighted manager. With the
modern system Of marketing stock aud
grain must come clear grasp Of bust
ness methods and an intelligent know
edge Of current events. In short, farm
Ing as profession has passed entirely
from that stage where It's followers can
be recruited from the RANKS Of those
who have failed In dozen other call
hgs and are ready to turn to the filling
Of the soil as a last resort He who
makes success Of modern farming
may take his place among the success
ful ones In any Of LIES numerous call
ings.

Roma nee shattered.

The romance of young Frederick
Kiley, who refused an offer OF $25, 900
preferred by a wealthy broker to give up
the hand Of attractive Miss Clara Thiele,
a stenographer, in New York, has been
shattered. Miss Thiele awoke the youth
full hero with start yesterday by saying
that he mus, have cen dreaming OF be
ing hero for refusing to sell young
women who are not aware they are in
chains to him. Miss Thiele said "li
the mysterious Mr.. Wilson is willing to
give $685. for whatever right, title,
interest Mr.. Kiley may possess in me,
Kiley should take it quick. If he can
not get that much, let him take 70 cents,
aud at that he weuld have difficulty in
giving Mr.. Wilson consideration"
Miss Thiele says that Klley is only a
ten-dollar-a-week Office boy. Kiley took
a day of after his dream. Kiley denied
Yesterday that he had mentioned Miss
Thiele as being the young woman whom
the broker wished to marry. He said ::
81 said 1t might be Miss Thiele, as this
broker, Wilson, had stipulated that l
was to leave the society of all women,
especially dsrk.eyed and dsrk-baired
youug lady. Immediately came to the
conclusion that he meant Miss Thiele."

Hunting for a Fiend.

Somewhere In tile wilderness Of
Fayette county W. Va, back of the
Great Berwin White Pines, INITIAL
Dhecheki. a Slsv miner, Is hiding from
q posse of enrsged men, who seek his
life for one of the most dsstardly crimes
in the history of that county. Dhecheki
is charged with literally beating his
eleven yesr-old stepdaughter to death,
sfter having criminally assaulted her:
The deed was not discovered until
late Wednesday evening, when q man
named Carson. of Psrkersburg, happened
to 20 to the cabin of the Slav and found
the child gasping away her life on the
rough cabin floor. He immediately gave
the alarm, and physician was dispatched
to the scene while posse was organized
for pursuit. The child lived but few
hours, just long enough to gasp out
the story of her wrongs before she bresthsd
her last.
Men armed to the teeth have been
out since Wednesday night searching for
Dhecheki. and if he is found lynchiDg
will doubtless result. An effort is being
made to arrest the man before the would
be lynchers capture and wreak their ven'
geance upon him.
The victim of the assault had been
taking care of his home for him and
doing the cooking since the death OF
her mother few months ago. She was
the daughter ofSsmuel Swenson, Swed-
ish miner, who was killed by fail oi
slate in coal mine about two years
ago. when her mother married Dhecheki.

Modest Trousseaux.

A dispatch from Berlin says that Frau
Krupp, widow of the great gunmaker of
Essen, aud her daughters, Bertha and
Barbara, have just been to Berlin, the
object of their visit being to buy the
tronsseaux of the two girls. Notwith-
standing theiri immense wealth, not more
than $3.50 was spent for each outfit.
This modest outlay is quite in accord
ance with the remarkable simplicity with
which the girls we're brought up. Some
newspapers, presumably sympathizing
with the disappointed trsdesmen, criti-
cize their expenditures as being very
mean. They contend that the possession
of riches demands proportionste expend-
iture. Fraulein Bertha Krupp is the
richest woman in Germany, she being
the principal heir under her fathers
will. She is engaged to marry Gustav
Won Bohlem Hslbach, under secretary
of the Prussian legation to the Vatican.
Fraulein Barbara Krupp, although not
nearly so rich as her sister, is worth
$l2, 500, 900. Her 6snce is Baron Tolo
Won Wilowski, son of the Governor OF
Prussian Ssxony. Both bridegrooms-
elect are comparatively poor young men.

Mrs. f. II. Pavitt, wife OF farmer,
was Yesterday beaten to death at her
home in MARBLE township, near Media,
Pa. with hatchet in the hands of an
unknown assailapt during the absence OF
her husband. Her body, with the head
horribly crushed, was found on the kit
chen floor by her husband upon his re-
turn from Chester, where he had gone to
dispose of load of farm products.
When the husband reached his home
after an absence Of thee hours he found

covered with blood and the walls of the
room we're spsttered The womsn's
teeth had been knocked out, her arms
we're lacerated, and her skull was crush

ant must have welded the hatchet with
fearful force.
A trail of blood leading to the front
window was evidence that the murderer
had left the house through the window
and pulled the sash down after him.
Pavitl notified his nearest neighbors
of the crime. In short time q posse Of
farmers was organized, and few hours
later Wm. Keison, colored, aged Iine'
