Murderer Confesses.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 25.-John
Sears confessed today that no killed
Minister Amzi L. Armstrong and his
wife to get share Of the minister's es-
tate that was coming to him in the
will after the preachers death.
The double murder was committed
at Dutch Neck, nine miles east OF this
city Wednesday night. Sears is a
half.breed negro.
Rachel Sears, mother OF the man,
who has been a servant in the Arm
strong family nearly forty years, is also
under surveillance. The police have
been working OH the theory that only
some one who new intimately the
habits OF the minister aud his wife
could have committed the crime. This
fact, and the discovery that the
mother OF the Sears told an entirely
different story from that OF her son
caused the police to work on Sears:
The apartments wore not looted and
the gun with which tho shooting is be
lieyed to have been done was one which
Sears had borrowed from ncighbo'
on November Ia.
Sears, under cover Of night took the
prosecution and detectives to the scene
OF the murder and showed them where
| he had hidden the stolen watch OF thu
dead pastor. He told them how he
committed the crime in dramatic
scene in the conrt house. His mother
&will be arrested.
Sears, according to his confession
planned to kill both the minis
ter and his wife, believing that hi
mother, the only other occupant OF thu
House, would not inform on him
Sears said also he had an idea that j
he got rid of the old couple their wealth
would come to him. In describing hi
actions, Sears said he went to New
Brunswick as he intended about
O'Clock Wednesday evening, but re
turned shortly afterwards. Entering
the house with bis shot gun he first sho
the aged woman as she advanced t
to meet and then turned on the minis
ter and shot him.

side Y. M. G. A. in New York, de-
files anybody to repeat accurately from
memory the following tongue-twister:
Esau Wood sawed wood. Esau Wood
would saw wood. All the wood Esau
Wood saw Esau Wood would saw. In
other words all the wood Esau saw
to saw Esau sought to saw. Oh, the
wood Wood would saw And, Oh, the
wood saw with which Wood would
saw wood But one day Woods wood
saw would saw no wood and thus the
wood Wood sawed was not the wood
Wood would saw il Woods saw would
saw wood. Now, Wood would saw
wood with a wood saw that would
saw wood, so Esau sought a saw that
would saw wood. One day Esau saw
a saw saw wood as no other wood
saw Wood saw. In fact, of all the
wood saws Wood ever saw saw wood,
Wood never saw a wood-saw that
would saw wood as the wood saw
Wood saw saw wood, and / never saw
wood-saw that would saw as the
wood saw Wood saw would saw until
saw Esau Wood saw wood with the
wood-saw Wood saw saw wood. Now
Wood saws wood with the wood saw
Wood saw saw wood. Mr.. Klesier

DUNLAP, Tenn, Feb. 19.- (Spec-
ial). The sad news comes to our
homes this Sabbath morning of the
death Of the wife of DR.. Smith of this
place, who has been the doctor of this
valley for years. The old lady had
been very low for several days and this
morning at 90 minutes to 4 the death
angel called her home to be with the
blessed for ever more. Grandma
Smith was we'll known by everybody
in Dunlap, and leaves many friends to
mourn her death, besides her many
children and her grandchildren and
her husband, Or. S. T. Smith. May
the Lord bless and comfort the bereav-
ed of the lonely Smith family, for we
all know when the good mother is TAX
en- from the home freside the main
link of the family is broken. We hope
the family will SO live that they will
meet mother in the beyond. May we
all live better in the future than we
have in the past.
