1 ---rottjrtzzl Of our great closing up Estate Sale. We have sold more, goods since the beginning of this great sale than any time in our 20 years’ business experience. People came for miles, and our force of 8 clerks worked early and late to wait upon them. Those that came for curiosity saw with their own eyes the wonderful reductions and bought and went away happy. While we have sold piles of goods yet there are thousands of dollars worth that must be turned into money at once to close up this estate. Be wise, be up and doing; its a duty you owe yourself and family to attend this great sale. Sale will continue from day to day as long as goods last.

institute. L. E. Lett, James R. Chew ahd Lute Thomas had their cattle dehorned lust week. One of the greatest benefits that the farmer needs at the present time is the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and stiver. That would undoubtedly bring up the prices of farm products.

We saw last week in a city paper an article that is to the shame of the Baptist churches here. The j gentleman referred to, one Eli Jennings, is uot a preacher, never has been and never belonged to a church here but is a poor demented man who has been an inmate of ; the Southern hospital for the insane. The woman was born and raised here, is an ob-1 jeet of charity, and has received considerable help from friends. Her mother lives ! in Arkansas and her friends had made arrangements to send her to lire with her mother. It seems when she arrived at Evansville someone induced her to sell a small tract of land she bad recovered in a divorce suit for the maintenance of her small children, and on receiving the money she and Jennings left the city, perhaps for Arkansas, where Jennings also has a sister; living.

Moore owned a lot near the village church and bmlt a fence around his ground to prevent people driving over it. Someone tore the fence away and Moore accused the two Decker brothers of doing it. They went to church at 6 o'clock Sunday evening and no sooner had they been seated when Moore walked m aud told Perry Deeker to come outside. Decker did so, and as soon as they reached the door Moore pulled a revolver and said: **You are the man I am looking for.” Moore shot Decker once in the stomach, aud as he turned to run shot him again in the back.
