The Habeas Corpus trial of Larkin
and Marion Hope who killed R. E. and
John Stafford, took place last week
before Judge Teichmneller. The State
wb represented by Messrs Foard A
Thompson, of Colnmbns, aud Messrs
Phelps A Willrich, of this city. The
relators by Messrs, Brown, Lane &
Jackson and W. 8. Robson Esq. The
hearing lasted abont a day and a half;
only three or four witnesses were
examiued when Judge Teichmneller
decided they were entitled to bail. He
fixed the bail of Marlon Hope at $5,000;
that of Larkin Hope at $7,500, there
being two charges against him. The
bonds were promptly given with Sher-
iff Towusend, of Colnmbns, Mr. Town-
send, of Weimar, and Messrs A. T.
Bradshaw, John T. Harwell, and John
Schohmacher, of this city, as sureties.
There were quite a number of witnes-
ses in attendance from Columbus and
other places, among whom were sever-
al ladies. Everybody thought the case
would last a week. But the judge,
after hearing the testimony of a few
witnesses, said he was satisfied that
the prisoners were entitled to bail, and
that ended the matter.
—Mr. C. J. v. Rosenborg, who has

Wood, of Flatonia, the large two-story
brick building on the south side of the

ated and fitted up in first-class style,
preparatory to receiving a large stock
of general merchandise. Mr. R. is a
thoroughly posted merchant and has
abundant means to enable him to car-
ry on a large and lucrative business.

capital locating here and engaging in
business, as it will tend to draw trade
here that has been going elsewhere.
People will go where large stocks are
kept, to trade, believing that they will
be able to obtain goods cheaper than
they can from those who, on account
of limited means, are nuable to bay
on as favorable terms.

The Storm Has Subsided.
The debris still remains to bo clear-

On the 26th of Jnly I was in La
Grange and was told by a gentleman,
a Cookite of course, that the delegates
from Zapp precinct, voted contrary to
instructions at the late county conven-
tion in LaGrange; that they voted for
Gen. Hogg instead of Hon. G. Cook.
As I am indirectly interested, because
I was a member of the committee at
the primary at Fayetteville, who ap-
pointed said delegates referred to,
deem it my duty to correct this state-
ment. I referred to the report and
find that those in favor of Hon. G.
Cook bolted before this qnestiou was
submitted to a vote, and bence had no
chance to vote for Cook. They are all
thrifty farmers and businessmen, bat
admit of being ignorant in regard to
politics, bat they saw the wrong in the
move of the Cookites, and say that
they would not have followed them if
they had been Cookites from the heart
oat. Their statement is this: Two
delegates were not present when the
instruction for Hogg was submitted
to a vote. One refrained from voting,

OUB VEBY BEST PEOPLE
Confirm our statement when we say
that Dr. Acker’s English Remedy is in
every way superior to any and all oth-
er preparations for the throat and
lungs. In whooping cough and croup,
it is magic aud relieves at once. We
offer you a sample bottle free. Remem-
ber, this remedy is sold on a positive
guarantee. (32-4L)

What has become of the “True Dem-
ocrat?” it has ceased to invade our com-
munity. Is it dead or sleeping? if dead,
may it rest in peace, without resurrec-
tion from its mushroom existence.
We need rain badly. Pete.

Cotnlla Letter.
Con. P. E. Edmondson : —
Dear Sir:—Please find enclosed two
dollars to pay my subscription for The
Joubnab; please send it another year.
I am always glad to get it and will
pay you for it. I like the way you get
after the commissioners and the Hon.
A. H., county judge. Surely tbe vot-
ers of old Fayette have enough of
them by this time and will not re-elect
them this fall, if they do, judging from
the past, they will be burdened with
taxes the rest of their lives. I wish we
had some such officers as you have
had, J. T. Rankin for instance, bat not
the above referred to. We have a good
county, all we want is the right^kind
of sheriff to enforce the law, the pres-
ent oue is wholly insufficient. So we
have a company of rangers with us,
they keep things pretty straight.
We have haa a dry spell on us for
some time, but fortunately the corn
was made and a very good crop too.
and before the cotton was damaged
materially we got plenty of rain, so
you see we are all right in the end any
way.
We have a few of Fayette county
men with us, others have been out
here looking at the country, aud
think we will get some of them, we
want good solid farmers to come. We
have good land and water, and plenty
of grass and timber and as healthy a
country as is in the Stale. We have
shipped 2 bales of new cotton and have
more ready for the gin. The most of
us are Hogg men out here, only a few
Cooks, ana we woald trade them off
even for Hoggs, as that species of anim-
als does well here.
How is that little infant The True
Democrat getting on now? Do you
think it can live and make a man, or
is there not a probability that It will
die ab mt the time cool weather comes
on ? Well, poor child 1 I used to think
a good deal of some of its dadddies,
but lam afraid that they will die too,
politically, with the child, v me of them
especially seems to be kicking very
hard now, he must be almost gone, he
aught to jump over this side of the
fence, he would be healthier and might
get over it altogether, he is young yet,
but as for A. H., 1 think the disease
has taken such a hold ou him that a
funeral procession is about the only
thing that will be of any comfort to
him,he would make a beautiful corpse
if he was dead, which he soon will be.
Well, I don’t wish to try your pa-
tience so I will close, wishing yon and
The Journal abundant success.
I remain yours Ac.,
M. J. Sloan.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
To the Officers, Teachers and Mem-
bers of the Presbyterian Sunday
School of LaGrange, Texas:
Your committee heretofore appoint-
ed to prepare suitable resolutions, ex-
pression of onr regret at the loss of
Brother Wm. Logan, who departed
this life on Sunday the 27th day of
July A. D. 1890, beg leave to submit
the following resolutions, to-wit:
1st. That in the death of our be-
loved brother, Wm. Logan, onr Sab-
bath school has lost a useful member,
one who by his upright, consistent
Christian walk iu life set ns an exam-
ple by which we may profit and which
we should follow.
2nd. That in him the chnrch has
lost oue who was ever ready and will-
ing to do all in his power to advance
her interests aud the cause of Chris-
tianity, and who in his every day life
demonstrated to the world that there
was truth in the religion of Christ.
3rd. That in mourniug his untimely
death we do not sorrow as those who
have no hope, bnt believe that he has
entered into that rest where is peace
and happiness aud where, throughout
eternity, our brother will enjoy etern-
al pleasure in that city not made with
hands, whose maker and builder is
God.
4th. That to his bereaved wife and
sorrowing children we extend our
sympathy in this hoar of their trials
and sorrows, ahd for comfort can only
point them to that God whom our
deceased brother worshipped aud say,
“He doeth all things well.”
5th. That these resolutions be spread
upon tbe minntes of onr Sabbath
school, and that the secretary be re-
quested to transmit a copy of the same
to the family of the deceased.
All of which is respectfully submit-
ted by
R. T. Bradshaw.
