This comm mit1* waa terribly shock ed hero y es te ?day morning when it was learned that Mrs. Strickland had been killed nt h rr home on Saturday night. She and her husband, Luther Strick land, were living on Mr. Sain, limns' place near Huberts Church, and about / two hundred yarda from Afr. Hums' residence, und Mr. HuruB did not know anything of. the tragedy until about 10 o'clock Sunday morning, when he was in formed of thu fact by a brother of Luther Strickland, who lives at the Andel non cotton mill H. Mr, Hums told tho wriier that this brother of Luther Strickland, and another gentleman from Anderson, came out to his house on Sunday morn lug and naid that Luther Stricklaud cuine io the home of this brother at the mill town on Saturday night and told him that he had struck li in wife three licks on thu shoulders and buck with an axe and that he supposed that sue was ?lead. (I did not learn whether she was in bid when ho struck her or (ir not.) Ile also said that he put his little four-year-old boy in bed with her and covered them and went to An derson und made ttia confession to his brother, who, in company with another gentleman, cam? out to see about it, and this was tho first Mr. Hums knew of the mutter. They also told Mr. Hums that after making this confes sion that he (Luther Strickland) went and gave himself up to the sherill'. Coroner Pruitt cunio out and held an inquest Sunday overling. The remains of the ?lead woman will be buried ut New Hope Church this fMonday) evening. X. Feb. 12. With the terrible statement that ho had killed his wifo Luther Strickland, a white mau living in the KobertB sec tion of the county,' came to tho city Sunday morning and said he wished to surrender himself, to tho authorities. According to his story he was awaken ed Saturday night by a roiso in tho yard and upon making an investiga tion discovered his wife in company with another man. Tho man ran as soon as Strickland appeared. In his frenzy, Strickland alleges, ho seized au axe and struck his wife severely across tho head and shoulders. The womnn staggered into the house, and Strickland believing that ho had in dieted fe d injuries came to the city to give himself up. An investigation wu? immediately ordered and officers of tho law repaired to the sceno of tho crime to ascertain just what had happened. None of Strickland's neighbors had heard of the crime. The house was entered ned the woman was found cold in death in her bed with the bed clothing arranged orderly about her and with her four-year-old child sleeping peace fully by her aide. An ugly gash told the story of her death. Tu all ap pearances the death wound had been inflicted while *be slept. Strickland's atory is not believed by bis neighbors. They say that he had been cruel to his wife and does not bear n good reputation. When the crime is investigated in the coarta another story may develop in the ter rible tragedy. r>-. n?...^|n.% The winter term of the Court of General Sessions began Monday morn ing at 10 o'clock, ?judge James Ald rich, of the second circuit, presiding.

Spoken of in the Bible Five Hundred and Thir ty-Four Times. Of all tho endowments of our Creator the Eye in.tho mast valuable, without lt we aro deprived of all that makes life de sirable. It respecto n&ither ago nor rank, poverty nor riches, learning nor power. It gpeaks all languages, conversing as muon as the tongue, witb the advantage that it ne eda no dictionary. If the eye Sayn ono thing and the tongue another, you will believe tbe former. Thoro are asking eyes, asserting eyes, prowling eyes ?nd eyes full of fate, some good and some of sinister omen. They are a posi tion Index of character, disposition and feeling. Have you not soon them ?Ueh with indignation, brighten with enthu siasm, start with fright, leer with vil lainy, droop with sadness, Uro with re venge, twinkle with merri mant or beam with love? None but be who baa loar lt can appreciate its value. Sampson'with bis eyes put out was weaker than the dwarf. Go (o any asylum for '.he blind and ask victims of Ophthalmia tho value of an eye, then see if you will go on stumbling aud blundering in regard to its preservation, trustlog vendors, ped dlers and fakirs for its treatment and proteotion.. All the tissues of tbp bciy are i epresonted in the ej e. It is GO oibse ly and intimately connected with not only the brain but the entire nervous system that ita maltreatment or Impair ment frequently' cruises the los? of sight or. leads to seiious nervoua complica tions and affections. To glv? a full de Boriptiou of the functionu and defects of the eye would take up many pages, what we wish to apeak of here is tbe troubles, causea and curoo of most frequent oocur oncca ?nd wheu other teatmont ls unnec essary gi aa sea can be made to produoe the desired relief, but must be ground by the eye apeolaiiits prescription. Law yers, physicians, merchante and me-' cb anica who aro successful in their voca tions divide cb eir labora into specialties. You may auk any physician in what cases he ia most successful, he would probably say fevers, 'pneumonia or pleu risy, while otbera would excel in slrJn diseases. Why aro they more successful in some diseases than ot hort? Because they have given the moat of their study and pr nat leo to these s pao lal diseases, hence they acquire greater skill in the ons specialty. Ad eye specialist who de voted his entire time and study to the eye and ita requirements ia not hamper ed in his ''specialty by. any other busi ness, therefore he becomes master of als profession. Should any of our readers feel the need of glasses, or wish to have their eyes looked after in any way, we would auVIBO them to consult Dr. ' McCroary Glytann, now with Dr. A. Ci Strickland, and get the advice of one Who for fifteen year? has made a specialty of this deli cate organ and eurea h?aar?i?s sud hun dreds of the afiliotcd; including every de fect to which the eye te subj eot.
