Court AfHrms Tabor's' Sentence.

In the supreme court Chief Justice
Smith on July IL handed down a de-
cree overruling a suggestion OF error
in the case of j. Tabor, from Lafay'
cite county, whose case, carrying the
death sentence, was affirmed and Fri
day, August g., set for the date OF exc
cution. This case is invested with a
peculiar degree Of interest for the
reason that the condemned man Is
over 70 years OF age and carried 4
musket during the war between the
states as a Confederate soldier. He
was convincted OF the murder OF a
daughter-in-law. The only hope now
is for a reprieve or Communication q
the hands Of the governor.

WHOSE BOYS?

Recent Investigations show that
two-thirds Of all the drunkards con.
tract the drinking habit before they
are twenty-one years old, nearly one

about seven per cent before they are
twelve. The liquor dealers know this,
and for business reasons they must

for saloons are willing to furnish
