On Thursday Mr. Joseph Isom, one
of Hrooks county's most prosperous
farmers and best citizens, was mur-
dered by a party of negroes. It leaked
out that thc killing of Isom was a
part of a plot to kill all thc whites
who were in the possj which a few
weeks ago arrested Jesse Jcft'reth for
the killing of Mr. T. Moulden. When
it developed that the same gang of
negroes had sworn to kill other white
men thc whites gathered together as
if by one accord and the work of
•death and destruction began.
Of the seven who are dead, the
names of only four could be obtained

MARRIED MEN FOR USHERS.
Bow 'I hey Muy M.ike Tlieiiaelvflt Yal-
n.iliie to the Bridegroom.
The married men arc beginning tr
come brilliantly to the front as usher:
at weddings and the bachelors aro re
served for duty as best men, says tho
Boston Herald. The matrimonial vet
erans are the proper men to take
charge of the new recruit in theii
ranks and give hi n the regulation
set n)> in domestic drill. They nr.*
more in sympathy with him and can
brace hi in up for his appearance undet
fire. They can also give him a num-
ber of valuable pointers as to how
lie is to keop the peace. In
one country, at least, it used
to bo tho custom for the
bride's father to givj the groom tho
switch, as a symbol of a transfer oi
paternal authority smd a significant
reminder to the bride of the import
anee of wifely obedience. In America
however, this relic of barbarism would
not 1m? necessary, it being understood
that all brides arc going to be obedi
ent, loving and faithful wives. As j-
proof of this, one has only to look-
around among his friends and reao
carefully the daily divorce proceeding.!
to see how fr.r lovely woman is living
up to thc standard, and, on thc
other hand, how tho whole coast of so-
ciety is strewn with tho wrecks ol
lives through tho disobedience, frac !
tiousncss and extravagance of women j
and the misguided forbearance and j
genoral inability to enforce their an- |
thority peculiar to American husbands. 1
It is here that the married men who
aro glittering successes can as ushers,
guides, philosophers and friends gc'
in their finest work by their advice,
example and precept. It may bo that
they are making a beginning by hav-
ing the organist play "Oh, 1'romis"

being, under tho circumstances, :
proper lo "point a moral" in song, in

married men as ushers chucklo among |
themselves over another prisoner
brought in, another doomod man. a
it wore, in matrimonial row. Be this |
as ii may, they rarely have the nervr
lo openly indulge in ghoulish g'e at
the wedding breakfast,right under the
noses of their own vigilant « ye I
spouses. Let us hope, however, that
there is likely to be rejoicing over on"
sinner of a bachelor who has chosen
the better part an I forsaken the evil
of his ways, and is now numbered
with the elect, with the ha'o ol
beauty's love and the harp of dome
tie harmony in his hand. The lyro
will come later. Make friends, then,

Hogging Tromer.4.
A genius, who has devoted a great
deal of his time to the question, lias. :
he says, discovered how to proven;
troupers from bagging at the knee.
This is a piece of news which should
send the public, or sit least thc male
portion of it. into transports of joy.
it will be no longer necessary for the
poverty stricken dude to ] ut h ■
trousers under the mattress ul night,
nor for wives, who are proud of th- ',
husbands, to iron their trouser t5>«
husband's trousers—after they hav.
gone to bed.
Tho theory which has been evolved
is that all trousers are cut from cloth
in which the thread runs lip and down
and straight across the leg. Henee,
when the strain comes on the knej
of the trousers, those threads stretch,
because the strain is directed upon
them, and the trousers bag. A tailor
has made a pair of trousers so that
the threads run diagonally across thc
leg. and the result is said to be highly
satisfactory. The strain is distributed
indirectly upon tho threads of tin
cloth, and the trousers fall back into
their proper shape as soon as the
strain has been removed.— N. Y. Sun.
\ Bit. or : npei'Htition.
There is a dry goods sto;-e in this
city that has a side and front en-
trance. Recently a man was sjen
wandering hopelessly about, going up
one aisle and down another until the
proprietor of the store observed him.
••Are you looking for some one!'4
asked the merchant.
• I'm looking for the awy out," said
the man.
"There is the door," responded tho
surprised morchant.
••But that is not the door by which
I came in: I'm not going out by some
No Substitutes
For Royal Baking Powder. The "Royal*
is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and prac-
tical, stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers, tind well known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the " Royal," it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
of the superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must bo a lower cost powder, and
to cost les.s it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to thc consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal." There is no substitute for the "Royal."
