A Mil,ll MAN
Disturbing the Peace of the Negroes
Around ('assville.
The negro population around
Cassville has been in a terrible state
of excitement during the past eight
or ten days. They will not stir
from their houses at night and in
the day it is with fear and trem
bling. Many of the negroes have
taken their children away from the
schools.
The cause of this intense excite
ment is the report that luis spread
like wild fire among the negroes
that a w ild man is operating around
in that vicinity. Stories are being
told ot his doings, and these with
the natural fancy and superstition
of the race keeps them in constant
fear. He is described as a yel
low' fellow about five and a half feet
tall, wild and savage looking, as if
ready to spring upon any oil© at a
moment’s notice, lie sleeps In the
woods and forages on the farmers’
poultry for his food. Several ne
groes claim to have seen him and
many of them have searched for
him in a body, but to no purpose.
By the w'hite people It is thought
there Is little or no ground for
the excitement that prevails among
the colored people, save In their
own Imaginations. No white per
son has ever seen anything that in
any way resembles the supposed
wild man and the stories of the ne
groes are not credited with having
much truth in them. Bui it re
mains a fact that the negroes are
badly w’orked up over the affair
and as it serves the purpose of keep
ing them from the hen roosts at
night, the white people do not ob
ject.
The best bargains yet of
fered in groceries will be at
the auction sale of Aker
man’s stock Friday and
Saturday.

warrant. The storeroom lately oc
cupied py Porter & Vaughan has

It promises to be a most brilliant
affair. The boys are working hard
forits success and if they meet w ith
an equal amount of aid and encour
agement from our people it will be
an entertainment that all will be
proud of. The ladies are generous
ly lending their assistance and this
guarantees Its success,

helped the boys should do so at

stitution that all should take pride
in and no one should refuse the en
couragement that is necessary to
make the fair a success. The work
of the firemen is an unselfish one
and their ardor should not be damp
ened by seeming inappreciation on
the part of those who are the most
interested in having a good depart
ment.

Vaughan’s old stand. Help the
boys at onee and don’t fail to be
