ant of a prominent white girl in the
residence section of this place last

The negro was dragged from the
building and strung up to a tree.
Armed members of the mob vented
their rage by riddling the dangling
body with fusilade of shots.
Hamilton was arrested this morn
ing and was taken before the young
woman who is said to have positively
identified him as her assailant. Feel
ing was so intense that the sheriff ap-
pealed to Gov. Brown for aid. The
troops, however, did not arrive in
time to afford any protection for the

vices.
In her death the country has lost
true, Christian friend. She was a
devout member of the Methodist
church and walked daily by the side
of her Saviour, living nearer God
and heaven than any one I ever
knew. Religion was to her of real
enjoyment and to be in her company
was a perfect spiritual treat. She
discussed the Bible and it's teachings
so fiuently and was ever ready to
quote promises of encouragement.
She is gone but not forgotten. Her
influence, good deeds and pure ex-

made better by such a woman haV-

reaved husband and teach him to
feel the love of Father who careth
for His children.
