.A Missouri Sheriff went home in
disguise one evening to see if his

shots at him so promptly that he
dropped his experiment and began
looking for the end of one of his

The investigation of the alleged j
Texas outrages is proving a boomer- j

have been unpleasantly surprised
when one of the witnesses, Bonhart
Lehman, a German barkeeper, said
that be was a Republican until that
party became so corrupt then he
conld not longer continue with it.

in Lexington Dispatch, November
24,188G.
Ilavidg interpolated theso remarks
and extracts, I shall now proceed to
state why Mr. West's reply may be
considered as prejudiced and evasive :
2. He speaks quite voluminously
of the formation of the Leesville
District, yet nowhere gives to the
Dev. L. E. Busby the credit so preeminently
due to him for all that
marie the school district practicable
and desirable. He knew that prior
to Mr. Busby's arrival at Leesville in
1878, and establishing the Leesville
the j
11ini
arrayed^lll^^^fctoLby was fully
satisfied with a durBP^e hut in the
distant woods where an abundance
of "bad water" cculd be had for their
devoted children ; .that there those
children might have remained until
to-day, imbibiDg "baa water," had it
j not been for the unencouraged and
; unassisted exertions of this same Mr.
Busby in their behalf ; and that the
Board itself, with "all its pride and
pomp, and circumstances of glorious
power," might have remained undeveloped
in the womb of uncreated
things, had not the Rev. L. E. Busby
alone raised his voice in behalf of the
educational interests of Leesville ;
- *-ttf tchilfii-. wieldincr the power won
J VV* " C7 *
for him by the Rev. Mr. Busby, Mr.
West complacently ignores the instrumentality
of Mr. Busby in all the
good wrought within the district, but
is evidently not unwilling at the same
time that he should be charged with
all the evils.
3. Mr. West has an indelible impression
that there was to be only one
white free school within the district,
but neglects to state the fact that, according
to the origiu&i vote of the
people which created the district, according
to the charter subsequently
secured by the Rev. L. E. Busby, ano
according to the decisions of both the
Circuit and the Supreme Court, thai
school was to be the Leesville English
and Classical Institute, under the
control of the Rev. L. E. Basby.
4. Mr* West is emphatically certair
that R. M. Shealy deeded a certair
tract of land which included space foi
a Lutheran church, space for *
ir- u ih it*? g, 'f mi" '1 ror^^^fc
!- Professcrjs residence, but is silent s
d to whom that land was deeded, an
n was evidently not distressed with fee
it that the people abroad would dra
! the deduction that the said land ha
i- been deeded to the Board j^th tl
o privilege of permitting a Lutbera
n church to be built thereoD ; and thi
jt th6 Board in its supreme benevoleni
st did subsequently permit said cbun
n to be built, ana was then nnjast
ie ejected by it. And yet Mr. West we
.e knew, but evidently had not himse
r_ believed and dfd not care to in for
the people, that the said land hi
>y been inalienably deeded to the Luf
eran church for a church, a scho<
v aD3 a Professor's building, and th
lv whilst the school building itself w
;h to remain the inalienable property
the Lutheran chnrcb, there was i
requirement that the school its*
should, to- any extent, be sectaria
but rather that it should remain as
was, thoroughly free from all denoi
ill inational taint, so as to be the mc
38, acceptable to all the people,
as 5. He clearly understands tt
?i- space was accordingly selected for t
of church and academy, but not that
nt artful intermingling of incidents wi
m an omission of dates can create t
u- impression abroad that the chur
as and the school building were sim
on taneously erected by the above st
ue gested authority of the Board, a

I hare had blood poison for ten years. I know I have taken one hondred bottles of
iodide of potash in that time, but it did m. no good. Last eumraer my face. neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and I ?nM.scarcely use my arms on account of rheumatism
in my shoulders. I took S. S. S., an. it has done me more good than all other medicines
I have taken. My face, body and ifck are perfectly clear and clean and my rheumatism
is entirely gone. I weighed 116 pond* when I began the medicine and I now weigh
152 pounds. My first bottle helped me greasy, and gave me an appetite like a atrong man.

f|^ ^s&olor than by any other artificial coloring
X in the market. Put up in 6 oz. vials at
25 cents. Directions : Add to the Cream,
?^ when ready to churn, one^half teaspoonfal
of color for each three gallons of Cream,
which will produce the desired tint and can
-j be increased or diminished to heighten or
diminish the brightness of the color.
One trial will convince you of its superiority.

and will be more salable than others. As
this coloring is perfectly harmless and prepared
