Mr.. Doolitlle is a prominent and
prosperous citizen of the county, but
is now at Hot Springs, Ark, where he
has been the past three or four weeks
being treated for rheumatism and ma
laria.
1t is reported from Newton that an
other saw mill few miles to the
South of Newton, was posted last night
but the report is not verified as in the
case of the Doolittle mill. other mill
men are going ahead, it. Is said, but
are expecting to be visited by the night
riders at any time.
Heretofore the operations of this
cowardly class have been confined to
he ginners, and some little excuse was
found for them, though no self-respect-
ing citizen of the State could endorse
such contemplate work. But there
does not seem to be any good reason
for posting such notices on saw mills,
as they have just begun to resume op-
erations and business i'd the pine sec
tion is picking up nicely.

Anonymous letters calling for resig-

duty, and for money from well-to-do
man, were received in the past few
days, apparently from the same GRIM
inals who have been threatening gin
ners and cotton growers. Very little
attention is now being paid to anany-
nous letters, and every man thus vio-
lating the law who can be detected will
be vigorously prosecuted and severly
punished when the courts in their
counties are held. The situation is
quieting. No one has been actually
hurt, in person or property, nor is any
such injury probable.

results also indicate that the paper

This announcement will be the
cause of much qualification to the
American people, and especially to
the farmers. A heavy drain on the
timber supply may well be expected
to be reduced, and demand for a
product that has often been a waste,
will be created. Many farmers will

Upon a thorne,
And listened to
Her plaintive moan.
With slaves to run
At every beck,
She said she was
A nervous wreck.
| later met
A magnate's wife.
Who should have led
A happy life.
She told of woes.

And said she was
A nervous wreck.

And heard her wall,
She had to tell
The self-same tale.
Each woman is
