MS DEATH y LESSON.

The news OF the selt-innicted death
OF Alexander Robertson Of this city,
was great shock TO all who knew
him. For years he struggled hard to
live down the consequences Of mo-
ment's error. but II seems the cold,
hard world was determined to make
the struggle Ineffective, and, finally
he gave IN. II is claimed that almost
every time he was making big real
estate deal INSCRIPTIONS competitors

prison record. An instance Of this
Is said to have occurred recently, Just
as he was about to close "A deal with

euch is the world. We are shocked
when we read the stories of conla-
grations that tell US how the stronger
trumple upon the weaker, crushing
them, in the mad rush for escape; we
IRE shocked when VIC read of the brutal
acts that sometimes add to the hor-
rors Of a shipwreck; but too often the
selfish nature OF man manifests itself
in similar manner IN the daily COM
petition for business. Many do not
scruple to trample down others. or to
crush them to death, Man has been
compelled to take up the struggle with
man. for existence. instead of the
more noble struggle with the natural
forces that must be overcome and
made to serva, and in this unnatural
struggle many perish.

modern rush and strain. But no one
knows how many suicides are actually

Yates Standridge, who escaped from the penitentiary a few months ago Wednesday shot and instantly killed N. Rosemond and Mrs Nancy Over turf and dangerously wounded Mrs Rosemond, wife of the murdered man. The tragedy occurred at the home Of the Rosemonds, in the southeast part of Newton county, near the Pope coun- ty line. A report reached Jasper sev eral days ago that Standridge had made an attempt to kill his wife. Sheriff Bristow arrested him and started to Jasper with him, but he escaped. In an effort to recapture him Monday last, several shots were exchanged between him and the off cers, one deputy having two holes shot through his hat.

Some Ancient Fodder.

J. M Floyd of Texarkana, returned Monday from visit to his old home at Mineral Springs, and brought with him a bundle of fodder that was pulled by negro slaves in 1857, just 50 years ago.
