DETERMINED TO MARRY,
' «
A Kentucky Womin Refused to Be
*. .
Balked,
Miss Agnes Vance, an old maid
of Barren county, Kentucky, who
had perhaps become despondent bat
tling the trials and tribulations upon
the sea of love, became desperate in
her determination to win a husband,
Resol ving not to be balked in grati
fying the longing desire, she kidnap
ed her youthful sweetheart, Robert
Marcum, and eloped to Tennessee
with him and they were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony in the
city of Gallatin, near Nashville.
Safely reaching that city with her
youthful treasure at a late hour of
night, she routed the license clerk
out of bed and related to him the
following story:
“I am of legal age, with some little
margin, but the young man here with
me is yet a boy, and this is why we
had to rum away from Kentucky. His
parents opposed the marriage be
tween us, and some women would
have surrendered, but I didn’t. I
just took the “bull by the horns,”
went to the young man’s home the
other night, and while his parents
slept, stole him out from under his
own vine and here I am, ready to be
• i it
marneu.
She paid the fee, took the papers
and marched off to get married.

For Coughs and Colds in Children.
"I have not the slightest hesitancy in
recommending Chambertain’s Cough
Remedy to all who suffering from
coughs or colds,” says Chas.M. Cramer,
Esq , a well known watch maker, of
Colombo, Ceylon. "It has been some
two years since the City Dispensary
first called my attention no this valuable
medicine and I have repeatedly used it
and it has always been beneficial* It
has cured me quickly of all chest colds.
It is especially effective for children and
seldom takes more than one bottle to
cure them of hoarseness. I have per
suaded many to try this valuable medi
cine, and they are all as well pleased as
myself over the results. ’' For sale by

Good for Rheumatism.
Last fall I was taken with a yery
severe attack of muscular rheumatism
which caused me a great pain and an
noyance. After trying several pre
scriptions and rheumatic cures, I de
cided to use Chamberlain’s Pain Balm,
which I had seen advertised in the South
Jerseyman. After two applications of
this Remedy I was much better, and
after using one?bottle, was completely
cured.—Sallie Harris, Salem, N. J.

FOUND NO CLUE.
The Depot Burglary Has Baffled Three
Detectives.
Messrs. Ballard and Hill, of the
Iron Mountain, and J. M. Wheeler,
of the Cotton Belt, all professional
railroad detectives, Lave been here
the past week endeavoring to estab
lish a clue that would lead to the
apprehension of the party or parties
who were implicated in the passen
ger depot burglary a few nights
since. It will be remembered that
sixty-five dollars in paper money
was boldly stolen from the vault of
the ticket office safe by the thieves.
The detectives instituted a thor
ough investigation of the case, but
without success. They closely
queried each and every attache of
the local railroad service, but were
unable t* throw any light on the
case that would lead to the identity
of the guilty.
The case is truly a mysterious t>ne
but from the character of the theft
it is the opinion of these interested
that the robbery was committed by
some one entirely familiar with the
affairs of the depot, one who had
carefully familiarized himself with
the general surroundings and waited
for the opportunity to seize the
boodle.

DR. THOMPSON’S VIEWS.
He Says an. Upheaval in Arkansas
Politics IsProbable,
-+—
Dr. Richard C. Thompson of Pine
Bluff, Ark., was surprised when he
read that his home county had in
structed its delegates to the repub
lican state convention to vote for his
nomination for governor, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Dr. Thomp
son was at the Planters’ Hotel vith
Mrs. Thompson when the news
reached him. He is one of the prom
inent republicans of Arkansas.
“The convention was in session at
Pine Bluff when I left there yester
day,’’said Dr. Thompson, “but I
had made no effort to secure the in
dorsement for governor, and thecom
pliment was an entire surprise to me.
My wife and I are now on our way to
the Pacific coast to spend six weeks.
The republican state convention will
meet at Little Rock June 26, so I
cannot possibly make any canvass ol
the state or even attend the conven
tion. If the republicans of the state
want me to run, however. I will de
my best. The other proposed candi
dates for the nomination are H. H.
Myers of Little Rock and Charles D.
Greaves of Hot Springs. Whoever
is nominated will receive the solid
support of all the republicans in the
state.
“An upheaval iu the politics of our
state is among the immediate proba
unities, cl Liu ± preuiut tuai tuc iccsun
of the election whl be very different
from former years, aud that in the
near future Arkansas can bo placed
in the doubtful column.”

GOV. DAVIS’ EXPULSION.
The Commercial Appeal Discusses
the Incident.
* The Memphis Commercial Appeal,
says editorially:
“Gov. Jeff Davis of Arkansas will
have to get along through this vale
of tears as best he can without any
church membership. Being expelled
from the Baptist church will not be
a recommendation to him to join any
other organization. That the church
which expelled him acted within its
legitimate authority we may well be
lieve, but it is not easy to see just
what is going to become of the gov
ernor. He has been thrown into
outer darkness by the saints because
they found him to be a sinner.
“The death of a sinner is not de;
sired, but it is desired that kq may
live and. repent, %nd it is mqfe like
ly that he will become repentant as a
member of a church organization
than when compelled to wander
about among sinners and non-be
lievers. While he is out and foot
loose Gov. Jeff may be expected to
go a rapid pace and enjoy all the de
lights of iniquity. He may as well be
hung for a sheep as a lamb and un
restrained indulgence will bring
about satiety and repentance. It is
difficult to repent while the fun lasts
but it is easy enough when a sinner
| wears himself put. Piety, then tykes
the place of wickedness.

some. There are others. Editor
Reaves of the Hardeman Free Press
declares that he is a man after the
governor’s own heart and he is pre
pared to keep him company as long
as the jug lasts. ”
The School Dirctors.
School district No.-held their
annual school meeting, and elected
Thomas J. Scaggs, Senior, director.
Mr. Scaggs feeling the importance of
his official position, proceeded to in
form himself of the business of the
district. The teacher being present,
Mr. Scaggs accosted him with the
following inquiries:
“Say Mr. Teacher .they tell me you
have ordered a blackboard and a
glebe?”
“Yes, sir, I have.”
“Well, they say the blackboard
cost seven dollars; I think that’s
mighty high, for I’ve got a big cy»
press board in my loft and I could
grind up my jack jttane and make it
smooth as glass, and I could have
taken it out to where I oil up my
.nets, and I got plenty cold tar left
to make it black as the ace of spades
and give it to the school, and save all
that money. Don’t you thiuk you are
gettiug too highfalootin a'l at once?”
“The kind of a board you speak of,
Mr. Scaggs, would not answer our
purpose at all, and, besides, the dis
trict has the money, and they Lad
just as well buy a good one.”

"The globe is a representation of

easy to teach the pupils the manner
of the earth’s revolutions.”
“You don’t mean to say, Mr.

“Certainly I do, or rather $n oval

"Well, thought if it was a lamp

there’s another question that I want
