Xaay Murders Committed. At Laporte, Ind., a terrible murder mystery is now being investigated. Mrs. Bell Gunness, who was the promoter of a matrimonial agency for many years past, is alleged to have killed a score or more people during her career. It is said tnat she would have men call to see her and would then get them out of the way by different means. Her scheme to obtain property in this way was not known until last week when her residence was burned and in clearing the wreckage the crimes of the terrible murderess were revealed. Several . bodies were found in the debris. The investigation has not been completed. ?? Save Your Sank Account: Have your painter use the L. & M. Pure Paint, because L. & M. guarantee the L. & M.

Baduce Acreage. President J. A. Taylor of the National Ginners Association, has issued another appeal to growers of cotton to reduce their acreage. He says that the present area of cotton growing land means 7 or 8 cents cotton to the planter and no profit, while a reduction in acreage would very shortly bring about a rise in the price of the staple to eleven or twelve cents, possibly more. wmm I e Oil Cook-Stove I rheat your kitchen.

One of the most horrible crimes in the history of the state was committed near Langley on Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock when, it is alleged. Henry Leophard, a young white man about21 year9 old, lured his little first cousin, Lula May Leophard, less than nine years old, into the woods and there criminally assaulted her. The whole country around Langley was greatly wrought up over the dastardly and brutal act, and for a while intense excitement prevailed. Leophard was not suspected at first or no doubt he would have been summarily dealt with. On Saturdav he wa9 pos itively identified by the little one* as her assailant and he was rushed to Augusta on a trolley car and later carried to the penitentiary in Columbia for safe-keeping. The child is said to be in a critical condition, but will recover. Leophard denies the charge. 'Possum in The Coop. A few nights ago, at a farm house near Chapin, a commotion among the chickens, when the farmer sent his spouse out to see what was the trouble; we suppose he was afraid to go, lest he might run afoul of a burglar, or something of the kind. After the good wife had gone out and reported that it was a snake in the chicken house his courage came with leaps j and bounds and he hastened out to ! "do up" his snakeship, and running j his hand into the ccop to pull out the . intruder he quickly pulled it back | with the teeth of a big, fat 'possum j imbedded in the flesh.?Chapin Home j Journal. su/fvi" i nw i s TO THE ^Si^KICa We will offer j Ten yards Fine Cambric, yard wide, j for 95c !
