THE IIEKALD,t
LOCAL AND COUNTY.
Thfi Murder Epidemic.
Another Man MllleU lit Tbli County.
Lust Saturday afternoon another of
those horrible scenos, tha violent taking
of human lilc, was enaoted in this county,
a short distonco from Troy. A tuuu
named John II. Kearns, who was in
tho employ of Mr. VauNesn, bridgo and
'tie contractor on tho St. Lorn and Koo
&uk railroad, loft Troy for tho works in
'toxicated ; nbout two miles from town ho
ruat'Juhn Younj;, and carolessly asked
"him if ho "had any fish for sale,"
when Young replied, "Not to such a d d
Tool ns you." Kcarns said he wouldn't
rtako that, and dismounting from his
horse approachod and struck Young,
"when the latter plunged his pocket-knife
'into Kcarns, making a fatal gash near the
region of the heart, from which death en
sued in a few minutes. Young was ar
rested, mid is undergoing an examination
hefure Justices David Shcltoo and W. T.
Harris, at the court houso in thi place.
This is tho fifth caso of murder or homi
cide that has occurred in Lincoln county
within tho short period of ona year, and
iu only onco caba has tho murderer been
convicted by tho law, and then only sen
tenced to a short term of two years in the
penitentiary. Tho result of this is,
human life is becoming more and more
insecure, and unless the law is more rig
idly enforced in such cases, it will soon
be that every man will havo to carry his
life in his own hands and a revolver in
his pocket. The killing of a fellow beiug
is justifiod only in cases of self defense,
but in this day the law is evaded by tech
nicalities, pleas of insanity, self defense
when tho life of the murderer was notcn
dangored,und the crinio has becomeso pop
ular that it is beginning to bo considered
brave and luudable to murder a man. Not
only is this tho case iu Lincoln county, but
it is so all ovor the country. Only tho
other day, iu St. Louis, a man named J.
II. Fore, who assassinated his brother-in-law
in cold blood in that city about a year
ago, was ucquitod on the plea of insan
ity. 1'audemonium is full of such insan
ity. If we have laws let them be re
spected ; if not, publish the fact, so that
men may prepare to protect themselves
Ki.kction for fccuooL Trustees.
The election I'urtchool trustees of this sub
district, last Saturday, resulted in the
election of Messrs. L. J. Garrett, John
.McDonald, and James M, McLcllun.
There wero ono hundred and twenty-six
votes polled, tho largest ever cast under
tho present law for school trustees in this
place. Of these, Mr. McDonald received
111), Mr. Garrett 94, Mr. McLellan 77,
Mr. V. SI. Harlan 01 ; boattering 17. A
proposition was also submitted to extend
the time of holding publio school four
months, muking tho term ten instead of
six months. It was this question that
called out so many voters, many boing
unwilling to increase their taxes to defray
the expenses of tho additional four
months. On this question tho vote was
as follows : For 10 months school, 07 ;
againstlO months school, 53. So hercaftor
the term will bo tour months longer than
heretofore. The proposition in regard to
tho purchaeo of (Jhristiau Instituto for
tho purposo of establishing a public
graded school was not voted on, tho trus
tees of that institution concluding to
withdraw it.
Does It Pay? When mankiud em
bark iu any undertaking, tho question
apt to bo uppermost in tho mind is,
W ill it pay ? Wo publish in the Herald
this week a new advertisement of Messrs.
Cako & Rogers' tannery, boot, shoo, har
ness, collar and saddle establishment.
Sinco the formation of their copartner
ship, they havo boon liberal udvertiscrs,
their bill with this office alone boing
something ovor 885 for tho past year. It
must puy them, elso they would not por
biot in laying out this amount to advertise
their goods, and wo aro coufidont it does
pay them ; for thoir trado is increasing
.daily, and last weok their cash sales for
tho six days ending Saturday amounted
to over S70 a day, together with largo
.sales on timo. Wo venturo tho usscrtion
that there is not another business houso
in the town that can couut up as muoh
tor oo week. This success we aro freo
.to admit is partly duo tho cleverness and
general popularity of tho gentlemen
-composing tho firm, their satisfactory
work and low prices, but wo know thoy
will alio freely admit that it is partly
.duo thoir judicious system of advertis
ing. Gardon seed at 5 cents a taper at

May His Shadow Neveb Gnow
Less. Our corpulent and genial friend,
Mr. W. 8. Coopot, can't bo contented
unless ho hat something to do. A short
time sinco he sold hie intorest in Mohr It
Co.'s grocery store, and now be is foeibro

aotions, grooeriee, boots and shoes, eta
Sno his card in the local colu runs of this
gape.
Thk Tnov Dispatch. -With the
prosent week our noighbor closes tho
first year of iu existence, tho most criti
cal period generally in tho establishment
of a newspapor. In that timo, although
wo huvs sparred to some extent with eaoh
other through our columns, to the unini
itiated opparently with bitter feeling, we
havo maintained friendly personal rela
tions. This is ono of tho onigmas in tho
lives of publishers. The Dispatch says
it will enter upon its second year with
much brighter prospects than illumined
tho first, and with an experienco that will
add to its intorest; and its editor truth-
fully acknowledges that he, in the outset.
"had not tho remotest idea of the labor
and responsibility of tho position." It
may seem an easy matter to edit and con
trol a nowspapor, especially a small county
sheet, but whoever undertakes it will
find, like our neighbor, that tho rospon
sibility and labor Is greater than they over
dreamed it was. If this fact wero mora
generally known, tlro would bo less
li.ult finding when any number of a paper
does not coiiie up to tho expectations of
its patrons. But with all this, thcro is a
fascination about tho lifo of an editor
that leads him on, and on, and causes him
to rack his braiu through years of oven
unrequited toil. The panorama of the
world's doings that is daily passing before
him, iu tho hugo pi lo of exchanges that
(low into hissanctum weekly, trausfixeshu
attention, nod ho becomes such a devoted
admiror of the over changing lights and
bhudes, that it would be like parting with
u treasured frionJ to givo up tho life be-
f'uro him. But it is a laborious lifo ucv-
urthless, and the reputed fashioners of
publio opinion uro more its slaves than
its masters.
AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL
Mketinu. I'orsons interested in the
above pursuits uro requested to meet at
tho court hou-o iu this placo ucxt Satur
day, 20th lust., for the purposo of organ
izing an agricultural and horticultural
club. Organizations of this character
aro forming all over tho country, the
object beiug n discussion of the different
modes of culturo and an exchange of
views and axperienco. A great deal may
be learned by such associations, and wo
would advise our farmer friends, not only
ii this immediate vicinity, but all over
tho county, to form clubs for the promo
lion of their calling.

Mr. A.J. Rcid of the Louisiana Jour

contains sixteen largo quarto pages, is
neatly printed, and ovorflows with gen
eral intelligence of tho various industrial

to mcot with unbounded success.

Buffalo Nursery has sold and is still
selling thousands of trees. Every day
the wagons aro rolling by with tho fine
trees and plants selected lrom tho hun
drcd und more varieties of Quo fruits
propagated at tho above nursery, and yet
the display ot tine trees standing aston
ishes the passer by, especially when he
learns that ho can only see about one
half ot tho nursery lrom the road.
Only five years ago the past fall and
winter, Mr. A. 31. bhults, tbo proprietor,
erected a small houso and moved into it
on tho first of January, since which time
with limited means, ho has swept awuy
75 or 80 acres of heavy timber, und
covored some 20 acres of it in nursery
stock, and this will bo enlarged to 30
acres the present season.
Now, friends, with such an extensive
stock in our midst, don't put off planting
any longer, or buy lrom foreign nurse
rici; but go without deluy to Buffalo
Nursory, whore you can see how the urt of
man can chango and beautify nature and
