A large number of our citizen rs have just returned from Florid where they have been attending th . second trial of T. S. Glover for th is murder of Edwin S. Rawl.

However, theie was jnothe l" mistrial in the case, the j :y si nd ing nine to thren, so we are inform y ed by those preser.', inrter d of eicv en to one as io:ty <r'.y published, a The friends and relatives of Mr Rawl, who have been to Florida o; s this case, say that numerous un founded reports have been circula r ted throughout the county in whici the trials were had derogatory t< the deceased and fa* >rable to th < defendant.

This action on the _ part of the judge was very gratify ing to the members of the Raw !_ family, who are anxious that thi case should be tried before an im ,f partial jury.
