MORMON MISSIONARIES.
Thay Convert Ihe Wife and Aon or a l'roinl
n ant A tahamo Citizen.
Oxford. Ala., March 1.—[Special.]—About
twenty miles aoutheatt of this place, along the
upper part of flay county, lies a small valley,
about twelve miles In length and from three to
five mile* in width, and known a. Shinbone
rallry.
Near the renter of tht, picturesque little
valley, upon a thickly wooded ridge, and near
the Ashland road, standi a small log bouse,
known a. Oak Bulge schoolhouse.
The school bouse was built in 1833, by tho
citizens of the valley, for the purpose of a
school and church house, open to all religions
denominations.
ELDER KASIAII APPEARS.
Tho second week of July, 1881, it was an
nounccd to tho citizen, of Shinbone valley
that on the following Sunday Elder Kashth,
of Utah, would preach At Oak Bulge school
bouse. Tho elder preached according to ap-
E ointment, and a few days later he was jolnod
y Eldcia Stevens and Mootry, and the throe
at once went systematically to work to make
converts to Mormonlsm.
Elder Mootry la a native of Randolph conn
ty, Ala.; and he found a nephew by the uatno
of Thomas Mitchell Jiving in 8kInbone valley.
Mitchell was easily ronvorted to Mormonlsm
and his house at onro became tho headqaar-
ten of the elders.
CONVERTS MADE.
Mr. J. M. Landers was teaching school at
Oak Ridge nt this time, but shortly alter the
arrival of the ciders, liis wife and ion Joined,
themselves to the little hand of Mormon con
verts. Being bitterly opposed to Mormonlsm,
and having failed to prevent bis wife frolm
joining them, Linders abandoned his school,
hid fsrcwcll to wife and friends, and wont to
tho home of his daughter lu the nortborn part
of tho date.
In the fall of 1884 Elders Kaslab, Mootry
and Stevens returned to Utah and their places
were tab eh by Elders DcLsmeyer, Foam, En
gel and Davie, and during the year 1833 tho
work was carried on vigorously, and a
number of new converts were made.
The work was carried on very quietly, the
meetings being held at private residences, and'
little attention was paid to either tho Mor
mons or their work, until growing bolder
with sncceis they began to make themselves
obnozlona to the better class of citizens; thon
a committee was appointed to wait on the
elders and request them to leave. To this re
quest they replied: “We ahall not leave and
you dare not attempt to drive ns away, for
the laws of the United States will protect ns.”
EXPLAINING THEIR FAITH.
The homes of the plain, but kind hearted,,
people of this valley are over open 'th the'
stranger, and the Mormon elders in the gulao
of travellers gain entnneo to every house,
bnt when tboy make known thotr business
and are not well received they seldom call
again. They leave nt every houso a little
twenty-five page pamphlet entitled,
"doctrines of tho church of Jesus
Christ of latter day saints, by-
Elder John Morgan.” This book contains their
articles of (kith and gives an account of the
ravelttlons made to Joseph Smith; also claims
that Monuonltm is tho only true religion.
When a person joins them the elden give him
what they rail their "myitlc sign,” which con
sists of a paper upon which Is written their ar
ticles of faith and tho name of every convert
In that section. The possession of this proves
the owner a true “saint.”
One of their most enthusiastic converts in
Shinbone valley is W. J. Conger. Living upon
Conger’s farm la a yonng man by the name of
Bolling, who baa been very bitter towards the
elders and their converts.
About six weeks ago Bolling found a paper
near his home which stated that Mormonum
was the only true religion, and that unless he'
joined them within thirty days and used his
influence to get his neighbors to join, he must
leave that rectlon of country. The paper was
signed by all of tho elders, by Conger aud a
number of other converts.
Bolling has not left, and statod to your cor
respondent that ho did not Inteud to leave,
and to far 1.0 effort has boon made to force him
to leave.
MORE CONVERTS MADE.
Lut September or October Elder Davis came
over Into Cboccoloco valley, within live miles
of this place (Oaford). and in a short tlmo he
was joined by Elder Allrad, who came direct
from Utah. In a little while they had made
converts of James Tillman and his wife, and
later on Hiram Harrison and hla entire family.
Tillman icon became much enthused with
his new religion, and declared that he “thank
ed the good Lord for sending Mormon elders
to teach him the truo religion.” Eldon Darla
and AUrad spent most of their tlmo while In
this section at the homea of Tillman and Har
rison, and a few nights ago a committee of cit
izens surrounded Harrison’s honso and called
for Ihe oldors. They happened to boapendlng
that night at the house of Thomas Richards,
and the committee, not flndlng the objocts of
their March, notified Harrison that ha mutt
not let the elden atop at his honso again.
A NOTE Or WARNING.
The next day Harrison bought a gun and a
supply of ammunition and hit ion wrote the
following nolo to' the citizens:
“Come to our boose anothor night and tome
of yon will eat break hut In boll tha uaxt
morning.” _ ,
After writing the notice, young Harrison
•hot a pistol ball through tho paper and thon
stock it on tha gate post of a man ha supposed
was one of the committee of citizens.
Elders Allrad and Davit will probobably
undon this Held of labor at an early day.
Tha Shinbone valley elden were reinforced
in January by Elders Butler and Wilson, and
In that section they have tanght not only
their converts bnt many other ignorant people,
to believe that the entire territory of Utah la
the exclusive property of the Mormon church,
and that it is a land overflowing with riches,
long life and happiness, and naturally most of
their converts arc anxious to get there as soon
os possible#
The elder* have very little to say shoot
polygamy and tell their converts that only
church officials nr any pious members are al
lowed to have more than on* wife.
The elden an fell and clothed by their con
verts and alto receive regular installments of
money from Salt Lake City.

THE MAULDIN MURDER.
Tho Theory That Two Nonrnes Committed
tho Crime.
From the Athens, Ga„ Banner.
The Banner.Watchman has always contend
ed that it did not believe the Manldin boy at
Toccca was murdered by Fred Freeman, and
that if Fred shot him at all ’twos an accident.
While ata hasty glance tho chain of circum
stantial evidence seemed conclusive, a careful
examination of the snrmnudlngs of the mnr-
der dots away with many of tho surmises. Wo
learn from an anthcntic sonrro
that Major Freeman and family
have' been greatly annoyed by aplea
hanging around their premises at night, think
ing that Fred might return and they conld
thus secure his blood money. Major Freeman
hat been very patient, and stood much more
than most nteu would have endured. Inti
mate friends of the Freemans say when tha
time comes that Fred will ho brought homo
and turned over to the legal anthorltlea, but
this will not bo done until the excitement Is
allayed, aa tho child’s life would probably not
he safs where there la ao much indignation
against him. ,
But In the last day or so fresh light bat been
thrown on the killing of young Mauldin, that
has wrongbt a wonderful change In public
opinion, and many believe It will result In tho
entire vindication of Fred Freeman from the
horrible charge under which he now labors.
Two notorious negro gamblers, w|to had their
headquarters in the cabin where the murder
took place, suddenly and without apparent'
cause disappeared the day after the desth
of Mauldin, and no trace of them can
bo had. It Is now believed by many thit
tho negroes are tho real murderers
of tho child, and that the dastard
ly deed was committed because tho dead boy
had discovered evidence to ronvlct them for
gambling, and they decided It best to quietly
K it him out of tho wav. It Is now a settled
et that the hogs did not sever Manldln's
head from the body and remove tho skin from
the head so nicely, but that It wna the work of
human fiends. Fred Freeman had no weapon
by which he eoulil do this, afld not a spot of
blood waafbund on his clothes. Again, when
suspicion rested on Fred, and his parents de
cided to send him off, he at once posi
tively refused to go, saying that he
knew nothing about tho killing of Manldin.
lie is now in a safo retreat, where he
will remain until ready for trial. Ha atill
persists in declaring hia Innocence, and begs
to he permitted to return to Toccoa. Wo trust
and believe that the mystery will soon bo
cleared away, and the elond that hangs over
he distressed famllyllfted.
Toccoa, Ga., March 6.—Editor Constitution:
The arllclc In to-dsy'a Constitution from tho Bali-
ner-Watchman la altogether a misrepresentation.
No negro gamblers have disappeared from Toe-

which will tend to exonerate Freeman.

to the trap and took from 11

None who were present and witneaaed the
magnificent sham battle General Harden got
up for the delectation of Uie visiting friends
and reltUraa—ladles mostly—of bis officers In
tbs early daya of '(11, just before the opening of
the Atlanta campaign, will be likely ever to
' et It.
’e bad been quietly resting tn camp since
the fight at Missionary Bldgo, and tho monot
ony of rafttp needed a diversion to make It
longer tolerable, and It was n relief to tbs men
as well aa entertainment for the ladles. Itwas
a bright, sonny morning. Tho scene was on:
livened by stirriog strains of musts and made
•ala by tho Hotter of ribbont and searfasod
handkerchiefs as tbs ladles took places on tho
bill that overlooked the valley below. Tha
tight of all that branty there that day, I am
sore, inspired the heart* of onr man for the
romlag campaign, and made light many of the
duties that lay upon them.
Thera waa ono particular group of Mobile
beauties, conspicuous for beauty and grace.
The writer waa fortunate enough to make one
of an admiring coterie that aurroondod their

of emotions that lit np their racea as tfasy

to strange that woman, so gentle and tender,
should be ao enthused by the terrible parade
and thunder of battle. One. Mira Florence
', waa particularly enthnaad, and hsr
pretty little vires wore perfectly
charming. Following tbo glance of
her sparkling eyes, ona waa not long nt a
loss to dlaeover the object of hia charming en
thusiasm. It was Major lllaoqna—a daahlqg

It la very evident that Mr
Mr. Page has a grievance. The'
North Carolina papers bare more than'
once explained it. Page tried to make time- :
ceraofnTery Inferior dally In Kalalgh and
failed. He became embittered, and wont north
to seek employment. The funny part of the
business le that the North (aroUn* newspapers
keep np a continual racket over Page’s letters,
and it must bo admitted that
tome of them Ulk very foolishly. Ac
cording to the Cluclunetl Commercial-
Gazette, tbo Baleigk Chronicle sayt openly
that they want no immigrant* except* row at

Tun rumor that James Phillips’ inu-dored
hia wife at Austin, Texas, because of her rela

results. The goolpt magnified tho rumor until

waa the official alluded to. When the talk

Between Kansu and Toxos Is a stretch of
country called “No Mho's Land,” or tho "Pab-
lie Land Slilp.” It luu had no government,
and hu been under no law. Somo time ago a
bill Wu introduced In congrats to' maka this
odd corner tho "Xcrrllory of Cimar

another ureposition, Tho strip contains
3,3110,100 acres. It was purchased from Texas
at a tlmo when that state bad more domain
than ehe could see any usa for. The United
States wanted It to carry out an early agree
ment with the Iudlatis, by which the tribos
placed ou rcaervatlous were to have a runway
or outlet to reach the buffalo country when
they wanted to go hunting. Mr.JIale's ^prop-

Professor Wiaorira, the celebrated Canadian
weather prophet, said In a recent Intorvlow
that In August last he prcdlcted-tlis• winter of
1880 would be unusually cold und stormy on
account of the planet Saturn being In perihe
lion. Tho planet, ho said, had forced tho Oulf
stream out of Its course and nearer tho Ameri
can shore, which accounted for the lack of
snow in the maritime provinces this winter.
He also predicted some months ago a heavy
storm on the nierifllsu of London on March 3,
which would reach America on March 7, ac
companied by high tide*. He says: “It will
be lively” In the mailtlmo provinces next Sun
day, and be Is curious to know howSsturn
will ralso the tides at Quebec, Halifax andSL
John. He added that In March violent north
west winds across the North American conti
nent always precede a dangerous storm In the
Atlantic ^
According lo Do Voe, tho meteorologist,
we may look ont for some bad weather.
March will enter, worm and foggy, over a'
large portion of the United States, except
down la Florida; there tho pooplo may look
for share frosts between the first and third.
Abent the third a severe storm will form back
in Kansas, and move aerera tbo country
straight for Washington, D. G„ and it will
•trike tho Atlsntlo coast about the fifth, nnd
there will be heavy southeast gales and floods
in the southern states. Bnt north of latltndo
38° the storm sriU bo now, and a snow block
ade will occur over a large portion of the
United Statee. This storm will strike New
York dty about the fifth, and all raerehanta
having goodatoablp should take Uma by the
forelock. Immediately following this storm
there will bo a cold wave that will make
everything map and creek. The
center of this storm will crou
the Atlantic ocean to Kuropo be
tween latitude* Si® and 40», aad vessel*
crossing tho Atlantic ocean should keep north
of latitude 43°. Between the fith and lOth
heavy showers will fall in England, and in
Scotland about tho 10th, and flood* in Franco
and Germany about the tamo date. After tho
loth the weather will become remarkably warm
In tha United States. Between thalOlh and
15th a heavy storm will form over the lower
lake region and move eastward, causing de
structive floods In tho state of Maine aud lu
Canada cast, and drum fogs at New York city
and along tho New England coast This storm
will cross ths Atlsntlo ocean, and cause floods
In England about tbo 20tb. About tho life a-
cyclone will form la the South Atlantic oeeani
aad move up tha gulf stream, uitaiug heavy:
northeasterly gala* along tho Middlo Atlantic
•fates, and unusual high tide* at New York'
city and Long Branch, followed by a sharp
