Was Taken to Princeton for Safety. | Eddyville, Ky, June 25.—It is announced here that a mob of white men lynched Sam Miller, the negro fiend who was being taken jrom here to Princeton for safekeeping. The mob was composed of neigh- bors and friends of J. B. Withers, | who is one of the best known resi dents of this village. The negro’s crime wan an attempted assault upon | the 5-year-old daughter of Withers last Tuesday. Miller had been employed by Withers to saw cordwood. The child was left alone with the negro. When the family returned the little girl was crying. } Withera went in pursuit of the the negro and found him in the streeta of the village Tuesday night. He drew his knife and attempted to plunge it into Miller, who succeeded in making his escape. a ————— ] IN A TRUNK. | i i Two Litie Tots Met Death in aStrange Way. Bardley, Ky.,June 24 —Laura and Jernie, aged 7 and 5 years, respect- | ively, daugbtera of Joseph and Lucy Melton, were playing “bide and seek” with three other little girls of the neighborhood, and during the pastime the little sisters had entered the cellar. Seeing a large, old-fash- ioned trunk they raised the lid and jumped inside, when the top fell and closed with a tight spring lock. Two of ther playmates had Liddea ba neath a bed in an upper room. The remaiving tot, who was acting as epy, soon found the other girls, but all search for Laura and Jennie proved fruitless. Both parents were visiting ataneighbors aud did not return until their children had been im- mured for three hours. A search was instituted, but almost another kour elapsed before the father thought of the old trunk, end when at lengtia it was opened both children were found locked ia each other's aras, haviag been smothered to death BLOODHOUNDS OUT. When the town learned the true state of affairs the men organized a posse. Bloodhounds succeeded in capturing the negro. Officers who were with the posse took charge of the prisoner and asked that the law be allowed to take its course. When Miller was returned to this place, however, the feeling was so bitter that there was a danger of a lynehing in broad daylight, The authorities secured a buggy and drove like mad for Princeton, Ky. This only angered the crowd the more, and according to private die- patches, they followed and and over- took the officers and lynched him. It is said another negro was taken to the jail instead of Miller. Catarrh Cannot be Cured. With local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease, Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces, Hall’s Catarsh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was rescribed by one ot the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regu- lar prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J, Cheney & Co., Props., Toledo, Ohio.

Little Rock, Ark, June 23.— While a negro summer normal school was being conducted at Lonoke, a mob of drunken white men broke down the doors. demolished the fur- niture and took Prof. D. T. Watson, a teacher, into the woods and beat him mercilessly. The Normal was closed and the matter referred to State Superin- tendent Public Instruction Jordan, who has laid it before Gov. Jones and Attorney General Kinsworthy. Another attempt will be made to hold the Normal, and if the mob again in- terfers, trouble cf a more serious na ture may result.

I had occasion to take a trip down into Hudson comnsttp my route lying through Mound, Mt Pleasant, Sum- mit, Lone Oak, Pleasant Gap and Hudson townships. Now there isa suggestion of poetry and pleasure in the word township, butit it were not for that curse expressed inthe Biblic- al words, ‘‘Man is born tosee trouble as the sparks fly upward” there would certainly be a world of poetry and pleasure and happiness in more than the mere name of the district I went through. About this time when nature has on herrichest dress, colored in the deep fuliness of perfect maturity, and when the long days give her the best opportunity of her peerless beauty, ‘‘Blind be the man” who is not fascinated by her many charms, or led away into a train of reveries, or into the more sober reflections—of how and what | effect history shows this fullness of nature to have had on mankind. It would seem to be in harmony with the surroundings that man should be in a state of calm and deliberate philosophy; weighing out the ele- ments of his existence—with an exact nicety commensurate with his happi- ness and quietude, and carefully avoiding rash and unstudied action to be repented of later. Let us look. Strange to relate (although the his- torian may have been partial in re- cording the impetuous deeds credited to the long days of the year) we find the most decisive and violent events, of world-wide interest, and freighted with ths destiny of nations, have oc- curred in the month of June. It was on a Sabbath morning, the 18th day of June, 1815, with a brilliant sun reflecting nature’s beauties upon the burnished arms and gray uniforms of ranks of men in ‘‘Battle’s magnif- icently stern array” that the bugles of Napoleon were a signal that set in action the column of brave French who rushed upon equally brave En- glishmen, and when that bright sun went down it set upon a field of car- nage, the decision of which settled the destiny of the world and gave to history the battle of Waterloo. With almost as much importance came the 10th day of June, 1776, when the blood of our patriot fathers’ was shed on Bunkers Hill,and thus arons- ed the energy of the colonists to give battle to aristocracy and secured for us free America. [t was in June and also on a beau- tiful Sabbath that Robert E Lee, the peerless general of our day, threw the columns of McDowell into disor- der and retreat and panic, back to- ward Washington, thus seeuring for himself and soldiery an undying fame and at the same time causing the north to redouble her effort, that the stars and stripes might float over our undivided government. Such have been some of the events occurring this time of the year—not all, by any means, but enough to show that “Things are not as they seem,” And as I passed over my route, I thought that now we have peace, but how soon the scene might change and how hollow and uncertain are out- side appearances. For it looked as ifthe people ought to be happy—from appearances they are prosperous—yet are they happy? It has been said that every evil has its counterpart in good, and this is evidenced by the attention that is being paid in working the roads. Last winter’s mud is now bearing its fruits; all along the work is good, and I might say just here that the best graded road I saw wa® north of Pleasant Gap, done by George Rains, who is the overseer down there. To look over George’s place however, one will perceive that he is accustom- ed to doing things right. Corn look- ed best from six miles southeast of Butler to Pleasant Gap. I believe the best field I saw, considering evenness, belonged to young Jesse Brooks, one mile north of Pleasant Gap, although all corn is good, looks well and is clean. Oats are reported good as well as flax. But few fields of wheat I saw and they were noth- ing extra. Pleasant Gap is an oid yillage and has its history. In ante-bellum days it was in its best and the people sur- rounding it were made of true grit, and independence and were divided in opinions about the war. Hence it is not strange that many a quarrel and fight, and even fatal shooting affairs have been added to its history. Since the war it would seem as if the hand of decay and spoiiation has been upon the little hamlet. Like Goldsmith’s deserted village until the | last few years, when she commenced to improve and is now in a state of constant improvement. Good and} substantial residences meet the eye} in several places now. The last a qu ion being the handsome two story residence of R B Campbel The Baptists have secured control of | the chureh and have it in good | shape. Atany rate I could see that j Pleasant Gap exists in something else 1 beside a name. | The road from Pleasant Gap winds down a steep wooded hill in the d rection of Reynard, and it is any thing but smooth. But when you! emerge out on the other side and} look out on fair Round Prairie it is a} contrast that well rep your experience in reach Round Prairie is Browns, Hoits, Williams, Gilbreath Nortons, Blackwells, Hooks, W sons, Brownings and many well-to-do farmers, who have on the Prairie for many | have waxed rich from its fertile soil.
