The fact that Southern farmers are now in a very prosperous condition is appealing Htmugly to fanners in lass fayored eectionsof tfte country, hiu! the whole world is well awa e ??f the fact that the industrial movement in ahout very one of the Southern States is assuming large proportions.

As j i he had exhibited indifference to the enormity of his crime, so he seemed to lack all understanding I of its terrible consequences. For more than an hour, while prepare ; lions for Ilia execution were in progress, he stood mute and sullen among the avengers. NT hen every ? , thing was ready he walked to the stake with a firm step, paused :is he reached the circle of broken iH>tu-i!a. to Ur rr! in prayer. tie w*? allowed to take hi* time. He arot? and placed hie back to the iron atake and half u dozen men | wouud chains about his body und limbs. Kerosene oil waa applied to the wood wild after a brief puuae, Kit hard W Froet, the father of the little Frost girl, whmte cruelly mutilated body w is found one we k ago on that very spot, applied a match. For w moment but a little flicker, ug lUme urose Then the oil blazed | up, sparks ilew into the air and the wood oegan to crackle. A!~ mo?t instantly the negro's trousers ' caught lire.

Not an oath escaped, txit he begged and pleaded to he shot Suddenly the rope holding hie hands horned through. Then arms, head and shoulder# slipped through the chains. For an instant the body stood erect, tho arms were raised in supplication while burning pieces of clothing dropped from them. The bodv then fell away from the tire, the head lower than the feet, still fastened to the rail. This was s *i ww rmwk mnmi m. ' i 1 ?m* ' not expected, and for a few minutes those stolid men were disconcerted; they feared that the only remaining chain would give whv. If this had occurred the partly burned human being would hare been dashed among tbem in his blazing garments. And not many would have cared to rapture him again. Hut the chain hold fa?t Die body was then in each a position that only the legs were in the tire. The cries of the wretch were redoubled and lie again begged t.o lift shot. Some wanted lo throw him into the tire, others tried to dash oil upon him. Board* were carried sad h large piie iiia<Ir otfr the prostrate hod v. They soon were ignited and the terrible liftat and lack of air quickly rendered the victim uncouacioue, bringing death a few moment* later. This terrible ceremony, out upon the rolling prairie, concluded the second tragedy upon that spot, the terrible avenging of the first. Through the entire affair hut little nas aatd. As they had calmly prepared for the avenging, so the people of the eastern part of the State carried out their plan coolly and deliberately.
