The brutality of the crime calls for speedy legal vengeance. The perpetrators are still at large, but very fair descriptions of them were obtained from Mr. Reaves be fore hU death. The county commission ers of Lowndes have offered a reward of S100 for the apprehension of the murderers, and it is expected that the State will in a few days offer an additional reward of |250.

The head was out cf the WAter, and the body apparently standing upright in the water. The face was clean shaved. The captain hailed a man on shore and he procured a small boat and pulled out to where the body was, and as the steamer passed ou of sight the man from the shore was passing a rope over the head of the floater. The mystery will probably never be solved.” Thb Columbus Times save the sight of the Kagle and Phenix Mill No. 3 lit up by electriot light is a sight worth seeing.

A Dttperate Encounter with Burglars. Tree Citizen. Last Friday night about 2 o’clock our night policemen, Captain Amos Lsmbeth, heard e nolee In the small room up stalls over Mr. E. C. Lanier's store, which le oc cupied by Mr. L. U. Rou'shan, who Is en gaged in selling off the remnant of hts stock of goods. Going up stairs and ap proaching the door, he dltcovered that there were parties In the store room, who bad broken a padlock and a stocklock, and with a light were going through the stock of goods. Captain Lambeth threw the hasp over a staple, and was la the act of calling for help, but the parties on the in- side were too quick for him, and jerked open the door. TheCapiain ordered them not to come out or he would shoot, when one of the burgltrs shielded himself behind the door and thrust out a Brit ish bull-dog, central-fire, seif-cock ing pistol, which belonging to Mr. Rout- zabn, and whlco he had left in the store, and both parties fired simultaneously. The captain does not know who fired first. The thiol emptied the five chambers of hit pistol without effect, and spinning by CapL Lambeth, ran down the steps, the captain sending his last two shots after him with out any kilo, n effect. About this time the captain discovered that there was an other party iu the room and ordered him not to come out. Tho second thief made an attempt to come out when the captain snapped his pistol at him, by which the burglar knew that hia pistol was exhaust ed, and boldly springing out grasped the cspteiu, who is an old man, and twisting him around, fled down the steps. The thieves were not recogn xed, only so lar as to know that they were both negroee. An examination shows that the thieves secured <2 in cash, which was left in a cigar box. aud a lotol dry goods, groceries, and the pistol wilh which they attempt, ed to assassinate Mr. Lambeth, all ol which Mr. Rouixabn values et ovrrfilfO. The thieves both lost their hats, which may yet lead to their discovery. The I atest —It appears thst Capt. Lam beth did his work last night effec ually, as one of the burglars, a negro named Jake Griffith, was found dead with taro bullet hoes through him, in a clump of woods several hundred yards from tno scene of action. The ball entered jnst below the right shoulder, and ranged through the left breaat. He hai met his desert, few mo e crossties needed on that end of the good. In the near future the Buena Vtstlnas will be thrilled with the echoes from the welkin and hills around which have never been waked since the dawning ot creation, it will be afresh and inspiring sensation upon which they may be con gratulated. Counterfeiting a Valuable Article. The publisher of the Madison Coun ty Record writes from Huntsville, Ark., as to the effect of Brown’s Iron Bitters on his wife. Mr. Daugherty says, ‘‘My wife baa been using the Bitten for some months; the effect in her case is remarkable.” He also writes that owing to counterfeits and imitations, it was difficult to get the genuine article. That difficulty has now been remedied, imitators have been exposed and put to flight. There, as elsewnere Brown’s Iron Bitters can be had of all the respectable drnggiste at a dollar a bottle.

The regular organisation of the Republi can party tn this city have determined that no man shall belong to the party hereafter who did not vote for Blaine and Logan.

Much sympathy is expressed for Kemp, as be leaves two wives and twelve children in destitute circumstances. He desired to plead guilty, but was prevented under pain of excommunication from the Mormon Church. The sentences of Bishop William J. Flake and James F.
