A New Invention.
Mr. W. E. Spangler, our Tin-
Sniitli, has invented a now ma
chine and one very much needed
by all tinsmiths. The machine
will make a double lock-edge at
one motion, so that he can make
a water-tight joint without the use
of solder. The price of the ma
chine is $20, and what we have
seen satisfies our mind that the
time, labor and soldering saved in
a few jobs of tin-roofing will pay
for the machine.- Address W. E

Hunted Down.
Some months ago, one’ Sun
day morning, the news reached
our town that the body of a negro
woman had been found in
pond, some distanco from town,
on the S. F. & W. R. R. and the
Sheriff and others went out to
investigate the matter. It was
found that one Bob Pascal, a
well known colored man had fol
lowed his daughter, who ran
away from his home* and took
refuge at the shanties of a saw
mill or turpentine farm, and
in his anger to compcll her to
return to his domicile had mur
dered her, beating her so severe
that her limbs were broken and
lacerated. The body was then
hidden under a log and covered
with trash, but: was discovered
by a bunter whr» £ave the alarm.
She was last Keen with her fa
ther, consequently the finger of
the law pointed at him as the
guilty one, and the grand jury
found a true bill-to that effect,
but no arrest was - made, the cul
