Prof. Walker, representative from Union county, was mixing among hie friends hero Sunday. Prof. Walker was here in the inter esf of getting up a school for next year. The school-house is in a di lapidated condition. A clear hoi<i is i adiestive of good health and regular habits. Wiinu tha body is languid. ad the min l work sluggishly, Ayer’s Cathartic Fill* will assist in the recovery ot physical buoyancy and mental vigor. Hawes, the Birmingham mur derer’s second wife, said just be fore marrying, to some of hor la dy friends, ‘-I’d marry him if he was a murderer; yes, if he had a thousand wives!” She got the man her idle words endorsed, and no doubt, these very words encour aged the viiliaa to commit the ’das tardly crime.

A few days a.p- Mr. W. f G ifu-- pi isqinred of a small negro boy the way to a emtain tnaa‘ house: Tee boy told h'm “bopk ob dese roads go dah.“ The gouileman iheu a.-k h ; m how far it w?s to the house. He *a : ,d he didn't know, but h i Knew whete the house was, and “booh ot deso roads go dah.” The friends of Mr, VV, F. Hill speak of running him for justice of the peace. If Mr. Hill consents to let his name be used, he will be elected, and will make as good an officer as this district can furnish, lie has been among you some thing over live years—has made a good citizen, and is a Christian gentleman. The Observer endors es the boys in their move, and says elect Mr. W. F. llill. Sunday evening's lulie “fracas” on the streets and in front of citi zens’ private residences and fV.nti lies, suggests good reasons that Ho me:’ought to be incorporated. The offenders could lie arrested and lin ed for their misdemeanors. As it is they go ‘*scott tree,” without someone takes it upon hiinseif to make report to the tirst grand jury, then they are likely to throw it aside, as it has become so old. The sheriff has no right to arrest these violators without a warrant issued by a mayor or justice of the peace. However, it is to be hoped when Homer elects her new magistrate, he will see after these things. The other child, Irene, of R. R. Hawes, the Birmingham murderer, has been found in the lake where its mother was. The coroner’s jury of inquest gives a verdict that it came to its death from the hands of its father. When found the child was lying on its face—-just as it had been thrown in the lake. Around iit. neck was- tied a lot of railroad iron- This, of course, kept the body from rising to the surface of the water. If Hawes is hanged it w ill be a dis grace to the rope. He ought to be put on exhibition as (he phenome nal brutal hyena of the world/ but then he would be a disgrace to the animal nation. Mr. Samps Cohen, who was so brutally beaten in the Covington tragedy of about tour weeks ago, in which Thomas of Gainesville, was killed, and who has been in an insensible condition until a few days ago, now speaks and says (,'li.is Echols did 1. 1;o murder with a wagon spoke.
