A couple of Bonhani's lawyers

years old-
Last Thursday night a sad acci-
dent happened which resulted in
the death of Doll Hart. The mule
he was driving became frightened
at some object by the roadside and
ran away, throwing Doll out and
against the iron fence in front of
J. W. Haden?s residence, striking
on his head, and breaking the
skull. He leaves a wife and two

DIAL DOISTGS.
Dial seems to be on a boom now,
there has been one nice residence
and three good barns built so far
this summer; there is talk of a
grocery store and baker shop going
up right away but I am afraid for
the adventure in groceries as there
have been many who tried it in
Dial only to fail. I believe the
people should have patronized un-
cle John Lain last year but they
did not so he had to close out. I
ihave no war to make with Honey
Grove but we need a store out here
and when a good man will venture
to invest in a stock of goods here
jh, we ought to support him and build
-i>up a home institution.
| } / Bro. Kirkpatrick is conducting
an interesting series of meetings at
this place. He has the efficient aid
•of Revs. Blanton and Lorden.
Sickness is still unabated. The
iinfant daughter of Mr. Meacham
;passedaway Tuesday night after
a painful illness of several days,
;her little twin brother died a few
weeks past.
The little infant of Mr. Walker,
•is still very ill.
Counterfeit Dollars.
n
Some person has lately visited
Honey Grove and left as souvenirs
of his visit a lot of counterfeit dol-
lars, which soon circulated freely
over the city. Late Friday even-
ing an old gentleman known far
and near for his strict integrity
came to the city with a load ot'wa-
termelons. The old gentleman was
quite near-sighted and consequent-
ly became an easy victum for the
'•shover of the queer" who passed
three of the dollars ypon him in
the purchase of watermelons. The
gentleman not even suspicioning
that his dollars were counterfeit
passed them as he had occasion
and Saturday morning was arrested.
But as it was manifest that he had
not done so intentionally he was
soon released. We learn that about
the same time some bad dollars
were circulated in Ladonia,evident-
ly the work of the same gang. A
fellow is in dangerous business
when passing counterfeit money as
Uncle Sam never allows a guilty
man to escape.

Another Horrible Murder nnd Out-
rage.
The hellish work goes on in
spite of hangings, burnings and all
the horrible modes of punish-
ment of which the human mind
can conceive. From the town of
Montgomery this week comes the
ne.vs'of a murder and outrage the
details of which are so -horrible
that one can scarcely read without
being moved to desperation.
• A negro brute entering a home
where the husband was in bed
suffering from a broken leg and
the wife sleeping with her infant,
beat the husband in the face until
he was dead, struck the two chil-
dren on the head, inflicting wounds
which will prove fatal, and then
dragged the wife and mother into
the yard and committed an out-
rage. He chocked the woman until
he thought she was dead, but she
soon regained consciousness and it
is thought will recover.
The brute was captured and
hanged

The Sick.
There is more sickness in town
at present than for many a day,
but we are glad to say that none
has proved fatal.
Miss Yida Derrick has been
quite sick for several days, suffer-
l'rom an attack of slow fever. At
last reports she was much better.
Mrs. J. W. Jones was taken
suddenly sick the latter part of
last week and has been very low.
She improves very slowly, if at all.
Little Fay Burnett, who has
been almost at death's door for
many weeks, is convalescent.
She spoke for the first time in a
month this week.
C. W. Kinkead informs us that
his baby is very sick from an at-
tack of slow feaver.
T. W. Lane's little girl who has
been sick so long is getting along
nicely now and we trust will soon
be well.
Miller Meyer is recovering from
an attack of fever.
N. K. Brown's baby is reported
dangerously sick. Other members
of his family are.unwell.
One of G. M. McGlasson's chil-
dren is very sick with slow fever.
Mc has just gotten up himself.
Mrs. J. H. McClure has been
quite sick for more than a week.
Depths or Space.
In his last lecture to juveniles at
the Royal Institution in London,
Sir Robert Ball said that a tele-
graphic message would go seven
timesraround the earth in a second,
and, if a telegraphic message could
be sent to the moon it would reach
its destination in a little more than
a second. It would take something
like eight minutes to arrive at the
sun; but how long did they think
it would take to get to Alpha Cen-
tauri, traveling thither at the rate
of 180,000 miles a second? Seconds,
minutes, hours, days,weeks, would
not be long enough; it would take
not less than three years, travel-
ing all the time at that tremendous
pace, before it would reach its
destination.
If that was the casc^Wth respect
to the nearest of the stars, what
must be said of those which were
farther off? There were stars so re-
mote that if the news of the vic-
tory of Wellington at Waterloo
had been flashed to them in 1815,
on that celestial telegraph system,
it would not have reached them
yet, even if the message had sped
at the pace which he had indicated,
and had been traveling all the time.
There were stars go remote that
if when William, the Conquerer,
landed here in 1066, the news of
his conquest had been dispatched
to them, and if the signals flew
over the wire at a pace that would
carry them seven times around the
earth in a single second of time,
that news would not have reached
them yet. Nay, more; if the glad
tidings of that first Christmas in
Bethlehem 19 centuries ago, had
thus been disseminated through
the universe, there were yet stars,
of which astronomers could tell
them, plunged into space iD depths
so appalling that even the 1892
years that had elapsed since that
event would not have been long
enough for the news to reach them,
though it traveled at 180,000 miles
in every second.—Electrical

It is now a fact assured that the
bill granting home rule to Ireland
will be passed by the British
house of Commons. For thirty
long years Gladstone, the Grand
Old man, has toiled with an eye
single to the restoration of the
rights of Irishmen, and now in the
gloaming of life's eve he is to wit-
ness the victory of a life-work.
Home rule cannot yet be extended
to Ireland because the House of
Lords will defeat ^it, but the vic-
tory is practically won because a
majority of the voters favor it and
those who hold positions by the
right of birth cannot long defeat
the will of the people.
Gladstone is now too old to take
up the fight in the other branch of
parlaiment but his mantle will
descend to some Elisha who will
lead the hosts bravely on until
the sons and daughters of the Em-
erald Isle will enjoy that Freedom
for which her patriots have worked,
prayed, fought and died ever since
the British yoke has been upon
them.
