Birmingham, Ala, July 13.— Twenty-three years ago the wife of William Hall, a farmer, living in Cherokee county, was murdered. Hall was arressted for the crime. He was twice tried, convicted, sen- tenced to the penitentiary for life, but each time succeeded in getting a new trial. Thirteen years after the murder the indictment against Hall was nolle prossed,gbut soon afterwards another was returned. Thus for nearly ten years a vain effort was made to have a third trial. Hall has attended forty-five terms of court, to answer the charge, and the case has cost the county over $20,000. Last week the case was taken up for the third time and the jury after be- ing out two days returned a verdict of “not guilty.” H. C. WYATT & SON.

Serious Trouble Threatened in Arkan- sas—White Men Ordered Away. Memphis, Tenn., July 12.—In "Crittenden county, Arkansas, oppo- ‘site here, the blacks outnumber the whites five to one and the legal af- ifairs of Marion and every other | town Within its boundaries ure pre- Out of twenty magistrates there are only | two whites. The clerk {and judge of the county court are all negroes and even the representa- , | tive isa colored man. For several years there has been much bad feel- | ing between the two races, the whites charging the majority of the | black office holders with outrages | upon the laws, ete. Last yearjudge | W. D. Lewis, the colored county | court judge and David Furgeson, | his clerk, were indicted for habitual | drunkenness. Their trial will take | place ina few days and threatened | trouble = the outgrowth. bey au ent is composed of white | as ae fal hae aoe eae to the! flame by the report that they intend- | sided over by negro officials. cheirman, ed to investigate the official career | of a number of colored men besides | those mentioned. | It is claimed that five days ago a! half dozen prominent people were | notified through their colored ser- | vants that their lives were in danger, | as the negroes were determined to | drive the white people out of the county or kill them. This warniag was supplemented by anonymous | notes, which were sent to various white people through the postoffice at Marion, giving them five days in | which to leave under penalty of | death. One of these missives was | received by the sheriff of the county, a white republican. The white peo- ple have, therefore, prepared and governor Hughes has been notified of the state of affairs, and seventy- five Winchester rifles were sent over from this city. A conflict is likely | to occur at any time, when it is fear- ed that many lives will be taken. Harmonious Clippings. The weather continues hot and dry. Oats harvest will soon be a thing of the past.

Who enjoyed themselves better, at the ice cream supper, than George | and his Pet? The grandest affair of the season was the ice cream supper given at the residence of Mr. A. Stuckey, on last Wednesday night, the 11th. The table was set in the yard, which was nicely illuminated. Choice music was furnished by the Butler band; also music on the organ and ac- cordeon. Nothing can be more enchanting on a nice summer even- ing than ice cream, amid flowers and flickering lights, with sweet strains of music wafting on the air. Every- body spent a pleasant evening and went away rejoicing. Many thanks are tendered the family for their kindness. Misses Ida and understand the art of entertaining their friends.

Se: | | Open Duns Can No Longer Be Sent Through the Mails. Marion Todd, | Postmaster Shelley received from ithe dead letter office yesterday an ordinary postal card which had been | sent through the mails from a firm in this city to a gentleman in Sedalia, requesting the payment of 65 cents, the balance due on an recount. The eard had been sent to the dead let- ter office and was returned to the postmaster to deliver to the sender. Accompanying the card was a letter stating that as the date of the postal card was so close to the date when the order was issued by the postmaster general prohibiting duns from being sent through the mails, it could be excused this time. The authorities wanted it distinctly un- derstood, however, that the act relating to the sending of duns and matter calculated to bring the person addressed into ridicule would be strictly enforced. The act relates particularly to collection agencies which haye been in the habit of send- ing duns through the mail on a postal card and of sending envelopes | containing the words “Bad Debts” in large letters.—Kansas City Times.
