The man who does not read a newspaper does not use soap.” The all cotton farmers of the south will be glad to le trn that the strike at the Chicago pork picking establishments is at an end, and the troops have been called away. Atlanta has been sold out by Paul Boynton, the celebrated swimmer, mi i for the time being the groans ol t ho swindled crowds who went to st e bis alleged show in the nitp’dy Cha taboo- j elite have drowned out the wails of the j anti-prohibitionists. Jusr now the average country edit;* is bowing fits thanks to the numerous subscribers who are paying up all arrearages and in advance. We can hardly pick up a paper without noticing a line or two to that effect. This might be called one of the healthiest signs of the season. A new obstacle besets Miss Liberty in her proposed job of enlightening the world. It is now estimated that it will take $25,000 a year for the enlightening, that is to keep her torch supplied with electiic light. She hasn’t got the money and her Uncle Sam refuses to come to time. Last Thursday nineteen postoflices were ordered discontinued by the post master-general, just because there were no candidates for the postmasterships. Democrats have long ago ceased a J king anything at the hands of the present administration, feeling certain that their efforts are of no avail. Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland finds it necessary to publish a card announcing her irrevocable severance from the Chi cago Literary Life, which occurred over a month ago, and which the publishers do not admit. Now let her brother Grover write a letter and let the democrats of the country know about the locality where he stands, and state why the ras cals have not been routed before now. At last the Augusta mill strike has been ended, and all the old operatives have gone to work, after several months idleness. Thote who furnished houses’ for Knights of Labor, after their expu|- t sion from qunners or tne iactories, have been notified that it is doubtful whether they are to be paid any rent. Augusta i3 now full of working operatives and a lot of landlords who are as mad as hornets. The prison congress lately assembled in Atlanta has been very busy devising means to make the prisoner’s and con vict’s life one of ease and comfort. There are thousands of honest, poorly paid workmen in the land whose mouths are now watering to get a chance to break into the pen without committing a grave wrong. The inducements held out are enough to make them wish for a change from a life of abject poverty to one of ease and comfort. Gov. John B. Gordon has retailed Major J. W. Warren and Captain W. 11. Harrison in the Executive Department, an act which will give entire satisfaction to the public. Gov. Gordon has appoint ed as his private secretary Judge James T. Nisbet, of Macon, the eldest son of Judge E. A. Nisbet. Judge Nisbet is a lawyer of eminence, and high social standing. Owing to failing eye sight Adjutant General Stephens will return to his home in Wilkes county. Captain John Mclntosh Kell is being urged for the position of Adjutant General. An obnoxious judge has been made to vamoose from Brazoria county, Texas. He had been judge a long time and becoming so objectionable he was pre vailed upon to keep out the race just ended. He kept out until a night or so before the election, when he secretly scattered tickets among the colored pop ulation and was elected. The white people became indignant and made it warm for the fellow, who fied to Hous ton to save his life. He sftys he will return, however, but it is supposed that Judge Lynch will succeed him in the event he does so. The remains of Rev. Father Ryan, late of St. Peter and Paul’s Catholic church, were reinterred in Chattanooga last week in the new Catholic burying ground. Father Ryan died there in 1878 of yellow fever, contracted while relieving the sick and burying the dead. The relief committee of the city, largely made up of Protestants, attended the ceremonies in a body. High pontifical mass was solemized by Bishop Rade macher. The ceremonies were the most beautiful and interesting ever witnessed in Chattanooga. There was a large gen eral attendance. It is stated that three rich men are about to establish a monster cotton plan tation on the Mississippi. The men are C. P. Huntington, of New Y T ork; R. S. Wilson, President of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas railroad, and Leland Stanford, of California. The road of which Mr. Wilson is president, owned 760,000 acres of rich bottom land in the valley along the line, more than two thirds of which have been disposed of. The idea is to turn 100,000 acres of the best land into a plantation, to be run on the most approved plan. The land will produce a bale and a half of cotton per acre when well managed, which would make 150,000 bales, worth over $7,000,- 000. WIDOWS OF THE HAYMARSET RIOT. Tne Wives anti Cbllilren of tlie Policemen Killed by the Chicago Anarchists. From the Chicago Mail ] A rumor has gained currency that the families of some of the officers who lost their lives in the late ILiymarket riot were in destitute circumstances. The muter has been investigated by a Mail reporter, who found a happy denial of the rumor. In each particular case the reporter found the family in a oomforla- PA though not in an affluent condition. How the families are Turing and what has been done with the money that was given them was, however, developed during the iuquiry. The reporter found Mrs. Thomas F vin and her three little children —the oldest one onlj’ 4 year? of age—pleasantly situated in a flat at 504 North Ashland Avenue. They occupy five rooms. Everything about the rooms was tidy, an 1 the ehil iron were playing. A sister of Mrs. Flavin was living with her. Mrs. Flavin received, all io!d, about $4,500 f:o:n the relief fund and from the Policemen's ilrm v lent Asso ciation. Of fltis .am uit she has about $ 5,500 still at he: eoimn uni, which it is her intention, as soon a- 1 possible, to in vest in some property. It is possible, too, that the police association will build a large fiat, using p.pt of her money, Mrs. Flavin haviug the use of certain rooms and reining out the others. The rental is to be used in paying the interest on the money used in putting up the building. Mrs. John G. Barrett is living with her father and mother in the rear of 99 West Erie street. She received altogeth er about $3,700 after the death of her husband. She has not decided yet what investment to make with her money. The orphan child of Matthias Degan is Hying with its giand parents at 146 Max well street. It is happy, it says, save when it thinks of “papa.” It received, all told, $1,934 on account of its father’s death. The aged father and mother were also somewhat dependent upon their son Matthias, and were accordingly given some little money 7. A younger brother of Matthias has since been placed upon the police force. The widow and two children of Thos. Redden are fating well. They occupy the second floor of a two-story frame building. Mrs. Redden received about $4,300 from the relief fund and the Po licemen’s Benevolent Association. She also received $2,000 from the Order of United Workmen, of which her husband was a member. She has made no invest ment of her money yet. Mrs. Nels Hansen and her six little children, the oldest but ten years old, was formerly living at 28 Fowler street, but is now living near the corner of Ash land Avenue and Ohio street. She re ceived about $6,000 from the police and relief funds. In addition to this she received $2,000 from the Knights of Honor, as her husband was a member of that order at the time of his death. Mrs. Hansen has bought a lot on the north east corner of Ashland Avenue and Ohio street, and it is her intention to erect a large upon it. The Knights of Honor are furnishing most of the money for tlie enterprise, and will own the building. Most ot the house*will be ren tctl oat, and Ml S IT lII&DH W ill DiIVG H home in it. In addition to the various sums, that, as stated, have been given to the be reaved families of the dead offi cers, it is possible—in fact, probable— there is another fund that will be at their disposal. It is the one known as the Policeman’s and Fireman’s Benefit Fund. It is the assessment as a tax, as provided by the statue, upon all foreign life and fire insurance companies. This assess ment was to be for tlie benefit oi families of deceased policemen and firemen. The statue has long since been ignored, hut an effort is being made to enforce ihe law and make the insurance companies pay their back assessments. The case i* now pending in the higher courts. If the statue can be held valid each fam ly will receive further assistance. So the families of the dead officers do not fare so ill has been reported, though, of course, their money is being slowly eaten up. Will they ever come to want? This is a possibility, and it is the source of great anxiety to the bereaved widows. HUMILIATED. A country editor was made to writhe in keenest humiliation of spirit on re ceipt of the following scathing criticism on the conduct of bis paper by a suo scriber: “Dere Sur—l hereby offer my resigna tion as a subscriber to your paper, it be ing a pamphlet of such small konsekence as not to Benefit my family takin’ of it.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German Syrup within a few years, has as ton it lied the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effect ual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It acts on an entirely different princi ple from the usual prescriptions given by Physi cians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the system, but on the con trary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected and leaves them in a purely healthy condition. A bottle kept in the house for use when the diseases make their appearance, will save doctor’s bills and a long spell of se rious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts. It is positively sold by all druggists and general dealers in the land. Price 75 cts„ large bottles. Yes, He Was Absent-Minded. The London Truth.] Musical people are notoriously absent minded, but I do not recollect any more delightful specimen of mental oblivious ness than the following telegram, sent by a vocalist whose name I, of course, sup press, to one of the witnesses of his marriage: “Under what name did I marry my wife two years ago? You were there, and hadn’t as much to think about as I had. Please wire answer. Want to ap ply for diyorce.” A HORRIBLE MURDER. A YOUNG GIRL. BETRAYED BY HER LOVER, FOLLOWS HIM TO DALTON, Where, by False Promises, He Decoys , Her to Death—A Lynching In Prospect, The foul murder of the young wo rn in in Whi tidd county, a few miles from Dalton, which was publishedin last week’s Cour ant has thrown that sec tion into the wildest excitement. Two men passing through the woods had oc casion to cross Mill creek, and saw the dead body of a woman lying in the creek. When it was removed, to their horror, they found two ugly holes in her skull from which the brains w re oozing. The woman's body was clad in an old wrapper tied on with twin**, and her feet were bare. The chesnut-bmwn hair of the murdered girl was in disheveled locks over her shoulders. A great mystery surrounded the affair for a while, as no one could identify the girl and she had never been seen in that sretion. About the time it had been decided to bury her body, Robert bpringtield, liveryman, made a startling discovery. He had started out driving in a buggy when, to his hot-ior, he found one side of the seat covered wit it freh clots of blood and h&ir. He remembered having hired the buggy the night previous to ayoungman named Charles Patton. The suspicion dawmed on his mind, quick as thought, that he had obtained a clew to the horri ble murder, and he notified the officers. They went to Patton’s room during his absence, and found a valise tilled with woman’s clothing, covered with blood. Within ten minutes Patton was arrested, and a little later, he and his chum, Will Hallman, were in jail, charged with tlie awful murder. The web of evidence be gan to draw closer and closer around the men as the mystery unraveled, and an angry crowd gathered in the streets. The two men begged Sheriff' Poarch n >t to allow them to be lynched, protesting that they were innocent of the crime. Patton came to Dalton recenilj r from Indiana, and being a young man ot good address soon secured employment. The girl followed Patton to Dalton, hoping that she might induce him to carry out his promise and many her. When she met him in Dalton he professed the greatest love for the girl, and took her out riding in the buggy on which was found the blood. When they reached a secluded spot. Patton took a hatchet and deliber ately split her head open. The murderer then stripped his victim, placed the old wrapper on her body and threw it into the creek. The name of the murdered girl is Matilda Gudger, and was said to be very pretty. The prisoners have been carried to Calhoun’s new jail for safe keeping, threats of lynching being freely made in Dalton. The town i3 fearfully excited and “the Murray county regulators” will probably take a hand in the dread ful affair. CARLISLE DISGRUNTLED. Talk of His Leaving Kentucky to Make His Home in Kansas. A close friend of Mr. and Mrs. Car lisle told the Tunes-Star, of Cincinnati, that the Speaker and his wife had bid adieu to Kentucky forever as a place of residence. “And you may say further,” said the gSntleman, “that upon their return from Kansas they will remain a short time ihe guests of Mr. Mrs. P’rank Helm, ot Cov ington, previous to going to Washing ton. may also say that that will lie tlie end of their residence in Kentucky, and thereafter their home will be with their two sons in Wiehita, Kansas. Do you know that Mrs. Carlisle feels much more keenly the manner in which Kenton and Campbell counties treated her hus band at the late election than her hus band, and she gave expression to these feelings in public on more than one occa sion since the election? Ou Thursday last she was driven to the post-office in Newport, and Colonel Spence, w r hom her husband indorsed for postmaster, was reproached in not very mild terms for leaving Newport on the day of elec tion and going with others for a hunt.” Not only did Colonel Spence, who owes ills office to Speaker Carlisle, go hunting on election day, but there was another hunting party made up of a number of his oldest friends. Not one of them voted or tried to influence any one’s vote. There was a number of Covington gentlemen who did the same thing, and they apparently did it intentionally. Later on the names will be given, but it is known that Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle, who is furious over the matter, will never forgive nor recognize them again. It must be remembered that now the Carlisles have no home in Kentucky. They have sold their house in Covington; their sons have moved to Kansas and it would be merely a nominal matter for the Speaker to forever shake the dust ot the dark and bloody ground from oft'his feet, as he has practically done it al ready. The majority for Mr. Carlisle, as shown by the official returns on file in the office of the Secretary of is 825. GOVERNOR GORDON. lie Take* Occasion to Say Some Golden Words. In his inaugural address, which, by the way, is a very fine paper, and is only omitted from these columns for want of space, General Gordon speaks thusly ; “Yieldiug to lha Federal Government the most loyal devotion; earnestly sup porting it in all its constitutional vigor as the “sheet anchor” of peace and safety, let Georgians resolve that this state at least shall be prepared for what ever the future may have in store for it. Let the broadest and most practical education of her children be an object of universal concern. Let her rich mental capabilities, her varied mineral and manufacturing resources and all her transportation facilities be assiduously developed. Let her agriculture, which is the foundation of her prosperity and upon which depends her progress, in every direction be an object of peculiar and absorbing interest and be encouraged and promoted by every legitimate sup port. Let her high credit be sustained at its present honorable and enviable standard. Let the most capable of her sons realize that in the service of their state, in making her laws, shaping her policies, and advancing her material interests, are great honors and fertile fields for usefulness. Let the wise of her Christian charities; the reformation of her prisons and the still higher elevation of public morals enhance the just pride and argument the self-respect of her people and add new glories to the already splendid history of our beloved state.” The peppermint farmers of Wayne county. New Y"ork, are worried over the decline in peppermint oil, which sells for $2.60 *o $2.65 per pound. This is quite a peppermint drop. A TERRIBLE SLAVERY. The Abuses Practised Upon Laborers In Massachusetts Worse Than Negro Slavery. From tße New York Sun.] Boston, Mass. —The Herald this morning devotes a column and a halt to the exposure of the impositions and abuses practised by a German contractor named Henry Seroder upon laborers em ployed In blasting and building opera tions at Hyde Park, Mass. The bat racks of the men consist of a broken-rooted 1- story 25 by 12 foot structure of rough boards, divided into two apartments, one containing a cot and a few articles of rude furniture, the other a greasy cook ing stove, table, benches, etc. In this hovel at many as 18 men are at times compelled to sleep. According to the statement of one of their number the men’s couch is the cold, damp flour, where frequently the water during the night rises around them. Their bed clothes are rough, and their food. i* s of the vilest quality. On one occasion a cow which had died was cut up for the men, many of whom fell sick after eat ing of the meat,. The ha-al Board of Health was notified of the fa t< ad an Inspection was ma le, and the remains of the carcass wore ordered to be buried. The pay for ordinary wodmen is $lO a month and found. Fine mechanics re ceive from $2 to $5 more, The Herald s informant asserted that it is Schroder’s practice to withhold i\age-< until ids men are forced to compromise upon a part payment of their dues. The gangs are continually being super seded by others which Sjhroder hitesat Castle Garden, N. Y. With the present party came a young man and his wife, lie had been a clerk in a Berlin bank, and both he and his wife in their dress and deportment gave evidences of good breeding. Lodgings were assigned the couple in the kitchen of the barracks, but the woman refused to pass a night in the loathsome place, and during the four days of their stay they slept upon leaves and boughs in the other room in the midst of eight or ten men. Even in the long days of the summer the men were compelled to work from sunrise to sunset. The writer con cludes as follows: “From all that could be learned of Schroder’s method of obtaining his help at Castle Garden, some one employed at that place must be cognizant of the tact that nearly every month he put in an ap pearance for anew supply, which would naturally lead to the conclusion that something was wrong. But as yet he goes through the Garden as often as he pleases, and unmolested he entraps the new comers from foreign lands and brings them to his den in Hyde Park.” DRINKING A FARM. My homeless friend with the chromat ic no3e, while you are stirring up the sugar in that ten cent glass of gin, let me give you a fact to wash down with it. You say you have longed for years for the free, independent life of the far mer, but have never been able to get enough money together to buy a farm. But this is just where you are mistaken. For several years you have been drink ing a good improved farm at the rate of one hundred square feet a gulp. If you doubt this statement, frame it out for yourself. An acre of land contains for ty-three thousand five hundred and six ty square feet. Estimating for conven ience, the land at $43,69 per acre, you will see that this brings the land to just one mill per square foot, one cent for ten square feet. Now pour down the fiery dose and imagine you are swallow ing the strawberry patch. Call in five of your friends and have them help you gulp down that hundred loot garden. Get on a prolonged spree some day, and see how long a time it requires to swal low a pasture large enough to feed a cow. Put down that glass of gin; there’s dirt in it—one hundred sqare feet of rich dirt, worth $43,55 per acre.— Western Plowman. Mrs. Stewart’s Weary Life. Apropos of the death of Mrs. A. T. Stewart a New York journal of social pretentions says that during Mr. Stew art’s life but little of his vast fortune found its way into Mrs. Stewart’s hands. All the great stores in the city were in structed to give her unlimited credit, but ready-money she was permitted to enjoy only rarely and in economic sums, and people who appealed go her for charity were, the same authority says, frequently denied from shee* necessity. Happier lives than hers it was not diflicult to dis cover. Caring little, if anything, for books, without the resources of a well equipped society woman, she turned to the operas as her chief amusement in the hours that could not but drag. She was weary of life long before the curtain went down on its final act, and frequent ly spoke of its disappointing joys. When finally the death of her husband made her mistress of more than she could well command, the power to enjoy it had long been gone, and she was even less happy than before. So, at least runs the story. PROPRIETARY MEDICINES. A visit to Dr. Green’s Laboratory, at Woodbury, N. J., has considerably changed our views, and especially our prejudices in regard to what are gener erally known as “Standard Patent Medi cines.” Of course we are getting to that age in life when we are forced to con clude Life itself is a humbug, and natu rally distrust anything that has not with stood long and tried experiences. Being a physician I had a curiosity to know how suCh a sale of two medical prepara tions could be sustained for so many years. The perfect system upon which the business is conducted, and the phar maceutical arrangements for the manu facture of the two recipes with which we were made acquainted, are sufficiently convincing to us that the August Flow er, for Dyspepsia and Liyer Complaints, and Boschee’s German Syrup, for Throat and Lung Troubles, were for the complaints they are recommended, most excellent remedies, and only regret that in much of our practice, medical ethics prevent us from jirescribing them with out making the formulas public. When we were shown the great quantity of voluntary letters having been forwarded Dr. Green, from all parts of the country, and from all classes of people, lawyers, ministers and doctors, giving a descrip tion of their ailments, testimonials of cures, etc., I feel like endorsing Dr. Green’s suggestion that the government accept such valuable formulas, and li cense them for general use by giving pro tection to the inventor same as patents generally. —Copied from X. Y. Druggists' Circular of Oct., 1886. The building of the Cartersvillo & Gainesville Air Line Railroad is said to be an assured fact, And that work will be begun on it soon as the charter is grant ed, which in all probability will be done by the present Legislature. As the sub ject is veutilated, and news of the road’s progress and probabilities, and learned we will keep our readers posted. The building of the road through this section is an important question to our people, wS they are directly interested in its com pletion, which will give to Cherokee and all North Georgia better facilities and put us upon equal footiog with other towns and counties.— Cherokee Advance. NUMBER 42 GEORGIA GLEANINGS. Notes Nicked From ExchssgM. The Governor has issued a proclama tion offering a reward of SSOO for the perpetrators of the Moore lynching on Aug. 12 last. On the account of the long dry spell water is becoming scarce in some por tions of Terrell county and stock are be ginning to suffer. “Not guilty” was the verdict render ed by the jury in the case of Aleck Sim mons, the negro charged with having at tempted to blow up the Chinaman Ix'o Chong * ith dynamite at Augusta in August last. Mat Gaston, of Jackson county, has a chicken that laid and hatched seven eggs at the age of only four months. This young hen was about the size of a par tridge when she came off the nest with her young chickens. The total vote polled in Murray county was 374, of which Clements received 346, and Tim mei man 28. The voters ot Chattooga turned out better than those of any other county in the district, poll ing 818 voles. The people of Madison have made up a purse of $l5O for Mr. Callahan, the poi.r B-qiti-t preacher, who lost ten b.l*-8 ot colon by ihe fire hot week. That he is honest, a tenant, and ha l nine un mar.ied daughters, proves his need of gene oas help. Willie Moran, a lad 16 years old, fatal ly shot himself Tuesday near Barnes ville. He was out hunting, and in at tempting to get out of the creek swamp, pulling his gun af er him, it was acci dentally discharged, the contents enter ing the right lung about the nipple, causing death in thirty-live minutes. This is a good showing for the experi ment of raising tobacco in Georgia. There has been received at the agricul tural department “a sample of Orinoco tobacco,” grown by F. M. Green wood, of Fannin county. It yields 800 pounds per acre, and he has been offered 30 cents per pound. There was quite a demand for Central yesterday, and orders for the stock could not be filled. The demand was brisk at 102>£ bid. It is positively as serted on the streets that General Alex ander will make the fight, with a reason able hope of success. The friends of Major Raoul are boastful and confident. All slock that is now said, is sold with voting privilege. —Augusta Chronicle , 11. Dublin Post : Mr. R. B. Ward, of this county, planted last spring 1,000 sugar cane, from which he has realized a profit of $89,20 besides bedding 1,100 for seed for next season’s planting—loo more than he planted last. He made $37 worth in the stalk and made eighty-seven gal lons of syrup, part of which he has sold at sixty cents a gallon. Estimating the eighty-seven gallons at 60 cents, the syrup it worth $52,20, which added to the $37 he sold in the stalk, makes the above profit $89,20. Nancy Hightower, the former wife of Jordan Hightower, colored, of Hamil ton,^'has notified her children by letter that she is still in the land of living. She left Hamilton about eight years ago in company with some blind negro preachers, and as neither her husband or her children had heard from her u*tll last week they supposed her to be dead. Her husband waited for her return a whole year and then took unto himself another spouse. The displaced wife shows no disposition to play martyr and, like Enoch Arden, remain in obscurity the remainder of her—portal life, - ' and* should shejeturn probably make things lively for Jordan. Sparta, Ga, Nov. 11.—At the after noon session Dr. Strickler reported a resolution from the committee on the seminary, approved by all but one mem ber, instructing the board of directors to meet on December 8, and request Dr. Woodrow to resign, and if he refused that the committee proceed to vacate the chair of Perkins professor, and make such other arrangements to fill the same as may appear suitable. Dr. Woodrow spoke in opposition, Dr. Rogers support ing the resolution. Dr. Clisby, Revs. W. A. Milner, J. H. Cartledge, John W. Baker and others took part in the debate. Dr. Woodrow’ replied. The Synod ad journed till after the service. A division was taken at 10:45 p. rn., ayes 56, nays 8. Rome, Floyed county, was chosen as the place of next meeting. Dr. H. H. Tucker, ex-Chancelor of the Georgia State University, delivered an address before the late prison congress defending the lease system as regulated in Georgia. He adduced statistics to show that the death rate under this system in Georgia is less than in any penitentiary in the United States, except in Wisconsin and Vermont. He thought the system better for the criminal in every way that confinement in prison walls, and that it brought his labor less in competition with free labor than any other prison system, as he is not engaged in any skilled industry. Dr. P. D. Simms, of Chattanooga, attacked the lease system. He said it must not be judged by the experience in Georgia, where it is remarkably free from abuses o.f all kinds, but by its general results in the Southern States. Though the death rate in Georgia is only twenty to the 1,000 convicts annually, it has gone as high as 140 to 1,000 in Mississippi under the lease system, and in Tennessee will average seventy-fiue to the 1,000 while in non-ieased penitentiaries it is only twenty-four to the 1,000. Within the last five years, Mr. John W. Coffee, of Pond Town district, in Dodge county, has been burned out not less than five times. Mr. Coffee has been thoroughly satisfied from the first that these burnings were the work of incendi aries, and while he has suspected Dave and Harry Reeves, colored, as the guilty parties, he has never been able to catch up with them until one day last week. The last burning occurred about one month ago, at which time a lot of fencing and a fodder stack were consumed. Mr. Coffee at once determined to ferret out the guilty parties, and to this end em ployed detective Shackleford, of Macon. This officer came down last Thursday, bringing a negro with him, and the two at once went to Coffee’s house. The n jgro then went to Dave Reeves’ bouse, and told Dave he was & fugitive from justice, that he had cut a fellow in Hawkineville, and that be was going to Dodge’s boom. He stated further to Dave that he had been working for Mr. Coffee for three or four days, and that. Coffee wouldn’t pay him, and that he thought of burning him out. Dave then told the negro that Coffee would’t pay anybody; that he and Harry Reeves (Dave’s brother) had burned him out four or five times, and that by Christmas everything he had would be in ashes. The negro lost no time in coveyinsr this information to the detect iye, antf in if short time Dave and Harry Reeves were peeping through the bars of the Dodge county jail. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
