Treachery and Tragedy.

April 9th was the 42d anniversary of
Lees surrender, and the day furnished
an incentive to many who were old
enough to remember events in '64 and
'65 to tell o true story from actual expe-
rience. A Farm and Factory representa-
tive questioned s. c. Biggerstaff mot
South Carolina Biggerstaff, but Sebas-
tian Cabot) into a reminiscent mood and
ELECTED a true story that might he termed
"Treachery and Tragedy" Mr.. Bigger.
staff said:
I'm April, 1896, I was eighteen years
old and lived in Rutherford county,
North Carolina. About the time Lee
surrendered there came n hand cf Feds-
raj pillagers end robbers through the
country, taking m~oney::and all valuables
they could find. They employed a guide,
whom they induced to point such men to
them as most likely: had money. My
uncle lived about nine miles from my
home, and he was selected as one of the
gangs victims. My uncle had some
money, ard as q p%recaution against at,
tack, had hid It in two different places.
The robbers were piloted to. hie
house and demanded his money.
He showed them where he had hid
den several hundred dollars in the
walls of the house. They secured this
and proceeded to count and divide it,
using a dining table in the kitchen for
arranging the money into three parts.
There vas an odd dollar left in the
divide, and one of the trio handed this
to a young gin of the family. This
seemed to. anger my uncle. There was
an x in a wood box in the kitchen.
Qnick as a flash my uncle seized the axe,
out one mans head of at a blow, and
mortally wounded IL second man, but the
third robbcr shot my uncle four or five
times, killing him instantly. The family
ran and threw themselves into a ravine
near the house. When they returned
they found the father and two robbers
dead in the same room. / was only ID
years old, but the recollection of the
awful affair is as vivid as If it had hap
pened yesterday."-Farm and Factory.

A clean town is a goodly sight, says an
exchange. 1t is also the best insurance
against sickness and death. Its cost ia
comparatively trifing. The chief item
is the vigilance of the authorities charged

get busy and clean up. and the health
officer and the police should keep busy
and see that everybody keeps cleaned up.
