of Lincoln's death.
We are reproducing the of-
ficial dispatch of Edwin M.

for school students to clip it out
and keep it as a souvenir for
the future:

Washington, April 15

Major General Dix, New York:
This evening at about 9:30
P. M. at Ford's Theatre, the
President, while sitting in his
private box with Mrs. Lincoln,
Mrs. Harris and Major Rath-
bone, was shot by an assassin
who suddenly entered the box
and approached behind the
President.
In the production classes of
$2 will be given for the
flock of one rooster
and eight hens. This applies to
all production breeds.
This year for the first time in
the Cherokee county poultry
show, turkeys are being added.
It is known that there are not
many turkeys in the county,
but it is desired to bring out
those which are. The best gob-
blerland two hens of any breed
exhibited will receive a prize
of $1.50. In this case exhibitors
must furnish their own coops
An egg exhibit will be held, a
prize of $1 being offered for

up6h the stage, brandishing a
large dagger, or lcnife, and
made his escape ia the rear of
the theatre.
The pistol ball entered the
back of the President's head
and penetrated nearly through
the head. The wound is mor-
tal.
The President has been in-
sensible ever since it was in-
flicted, and is now dying.
About the same hour an
assassin, whether the same or
not, entered Mr. Seward's
apartments, and nnder the pre-
tense of having a prescription
was shown to the Secretary's
sick chamber. The assassin im-
mediately rushed to the bed
and inflicted two wr three stabs
on the throat and two on the
face.
It is hoped the "wounds may
not be mortal. My apprehen-
sion is that they will prove
fatal.
The nurse alarmed M/r. Fred-
erick Seward, who was in an
adjoining room, and he hasten-
ed to the door of his father's
room, where he met the
assassin who inflicted upon him
one or more dangerous wounds.
The recovery of Frederick Se-
ward is doubtful.
It is not probable that the
President will live through the
night.
General Grant and wife
were advertised to be at the
theatre this evening, but he
started to Burlington at six this
evening.
At a Cabinet meeting, at
which General Grant was pres-
ent, the subject of the state of
the country and the prospect
of a speedy peace was discuss-
ed. The president was very
cheerful and hopeful, and
spoke very kindly of General
Lee and others of the confeder-
&cy,and of the establishment
of Government in Virginia.
All the members of the Cab-
inet except Mr. Seward are
now in attendance upon the
President.

conscious.

faction when in need of service for their car, than to be
able to take it to a garage in which they have confidence.

that Mr. Grover Norwood will in the future be in charge
of our shop. Mr. Norwood needs no introduction to the

vice possible, when their cars are entrusted to him.
