S. F. Miller, -Sheriff. 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.

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 prit havingevaded the clutch of FIMILY SUPPLI Hr.
