Sunbury, Penn., April 8. —This
afternoon this community was
shocked to hear of the shooting of
Lottie Hover, aged seventeen years
by her brother George, aged only
fourteen years, which took place
about three mi'es from here, on
the road leading to Shamokin. The
boy came late to dinner, and a
disturbance arose between him and
his sister. J'e left the table and
went into an out room, remarking
‘‘l'll fix you,” and got a shot gun,
came around and entered the front
door, and, on stepping in, shot Lot
tie. She fell, and never spoke.

1o Whom it may Concern:
I take great pleasure in making j
the following statement: I have
been oflLcted with a disease of the
kidneys for the past two years, and |
have tried numerous remedies j
with only partial and temporary
relief. Warners’e Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure was recommended to,
me, and after taking it the pain
and distress left me, and lam to- 1
day feeling itrong and well. I ntn
perfectly satisfied that Warner's
Safe Kidney a. d Liver Cure is the
medicine needed, and can cheer
fully recommend it to others.

Rome. — At the risk of being *u
pcrfluotts. for I see you have quit
a plethora of Roman correspondent.
I will take up n y thrtirj where
I ceased winding last. First of all
for a little correction: 1 told you
| that the loss by the flood was only
about 130,000. This, as the sad
I sequel has shown, was a'> error, hut
I don’t know ns I should say the
flood, hut rather the recee'Mng
waters, revealed more loss than the
water at its height. The fact is, it
washed away a bank in the lower
part of the city, which ?50,000 can !
hardly repair. All the “rocks’’ j
contributed by our business men
and carried to the bank to keep it j
on a solid foundation, it appears,
were no better than salt, for all
were washed away and the whole
superstructure was exposed to view
immediately after the flood re
ceded. I have not yet heard of i
any steps being taken to give evi
dence of sympathy for the gentle
man who built the bunk, but con
siderable sorrow lias been expressed
by individuals, over the sad calam
ity nevertheless.
Rome will put on her best looks
next May, when the philosophers
of the tripod shall come to enjoy
her hospitality; and unless signs j
have no value, the occasion will ho i
one calculated to give mutual j
pleasure and benefit. The Ml.-.- j
SLNGF.i: will be represented f
course? Don’t get proud ,i... u J !
tel! you that yotir paper does you |
honor, and if it is not appreciated
by about 6,000 subscribers before j
the year is up, it will not be because j
you don’t deserve it.
Owing to tbo continued cool j
and unseasonable weather, things !
about here are rather backward j
compared with former seasons. Tn
fact 'we are having northern I
weather, and | eople are taken by ,
surprisoby this climatieal phenome
non. Where it is to end time alone ;
can demonstrate.
Cotton conies in slowly, owing no j
doubt to the fact that farmers are
busy at home; but our receipts
of 110,000 bales will nevertheless
he realized before the new crop ma
tures.
The self-sacrificing character of
one of the managers of the Rome
Bank is, if reports he true, very
commendable. II is made to say
by one of our papers, that he wi.l
give up all his pri' 'te property to
make good the lossrs to depositors.
This is only equaled by one case
in history, where the great Arterous 1
Ward, to save the Union, was will
ing to eacrific all his wife’s relatives,
and even the coat off his brother’s
back. We will seo what we will
see. Yours,

Rome. —Last Monday as one of
the Coosa river steamers came up
from Gadsden, n colored man be
longing to the crew, discovered
about three miles below this city,
in a mass of driftwood, what he
supposed to be the body of a dead
man. When the boat arrived here
the rumor gained circulation on the
street anil parties went down in
batteaux to the place indicated.
When they reach there they found
the body to be that of Dick Griffith
who so mysteriously disappeared
five weeks ago. He lacked only a
a day of remaining under the
water four weeks. His remains
were brought to the city in tho
afternoon and that night, after
holding and inqust, the coroner re
turned a verdict of accidental
drowning, as no marks of violence
were found on his peison to justify
the suspicion of foul play. On
Tuesday he was taken to Rock
mart, the home of his father. My
only comment, dissipation— death.
Wednesday morning at 1 o’clock
the fire alarm was sounded, and it
was soon discovered tha :he First
Baptist Church (col.) wes burning.
It had gained such hrnu.vay that,
when assistance came, it was too
late, ft was entirely destroyed'. It
is a rather remarkable fact Mint the
been burned in this county during
the past two months, all belonging
to the Baptists. The burning of |
this v. as accidental.
A good crowd was at tho Opera i
House Thursday to witness the |

TEXAS.
Bkdford. —As I am a native <>t
j your state, ami love my old home,
| I would like to say a few words to
j the boys along the beautiful valley
j of Duck Creek.
Dear schoolmates, I left you last
; September. 1 came to Texnr ir.
| search of the honey pan and fritter
j tree, but I have not found the ob
jects ot my search. My money
! gave out, and my pony broke down
j and 1 turned him out on the range.
I will have to walk the rest of the
way, and do not know how I will
make it through the sand.
I do rot think a truthful man
) could stay here one month, and say
he had no sand in his gizzard. If
he c.hould do so, he would never
part his lips.
A man in Texas without a string
to his hat is out of luck.
The health of this section of
country is generally good.
I Laborers on the farm get from
I fourteen to twenty dollers a month, j
I Land here is worth from four to
1 ten dollars per acre. Wood und
water are senree.
I There are good things in this
■ part of the world, but many bad
things are mingled with the good.
I have traveled most of the time
since I came here. I have seen a
little of Texas, and if I was in
Georgia I would stay there.
I am not capable of advising any
one, and will say come ahead, boys,
j or stay in Georgia, just as you like.
| If you come, tell your pa I would
like <o rent some wheat land. I
am stopping with an old Tennes
seean. He lives in the east cross
timbers, and says that “Texas is
Texas any way you fix it, and
brandy is brandy anyway you mix
it.”
People who have good homes in
j Georgia had better remain with
them. Ido not know the feelings
j of others, but I had rather live
, '< where there is good society, schools,
, j and health, than to live in this part
of the world.
I
There is plenty of good and cheap
land here, but still it is not a desir-
I able place to live. I will tell you
how I was initiated when I came
here. One fellow gave me n drink,
| and two others roped and saddled
-a pony about the size of a sheep;
when I came to myself I was feel
ing of my shirt to see how much of
: filling was left in it. If you come
: here, boys, eall on tne. You will
find me on Little Boar Creek, where
! there k no bad things, but plenty

Editor Messenger:
My gleanings this week are rot
very cheerful.
We are having very unfavorable
weather, and several cases of sick
ness. Mr. John League has been
quite sick with peneumonia for a
, week but is thought to be a little
better to-day. Trennie Myers is
also very sick with the same dis
ease. Mrs. Nannie Myers has ca
tarrhal fever. Mrs. Mary Clark had
a severe attack of palpitation of the
heart last night but is better to
j day. Mrs. Elizabeth Moore was
sick last night and this morning,
hut at the time of this writing
(noon) she is better.
R. M. Eubanks received a pretty
bad hurt last Thursday by a mule
stepping on his ankle.
Our Sunda; :hool is doing well;
there were one hundred present last
Sunday morning.
There was no preaching here last
Sunday; the Second Sunday being
“vacant.”
Our citizens propose to organize
a singing society, for the purpose
of improving in church and Sunday
