from the house. One of the
rings stolen -was the engagement

diamond brooch and a pair of

PAY FOUR DEBTS.
Paying honest debts promptly
and cheerMly is a virtue of
manhood appreciated by every
one, says an (exchange, while on
the other hand there is no ©ne
who has any ruse for the fellew
who will not pay.
The fellow who pays on the
slow order and grumbles and j
growls when he does pay is only
a few degrees above the fellow !
who never pays.
Never be cross and sour with
the bill collector. He is the fel
low who ought to be thanked. If
you owe a debt the obligation is
an you and not on the person
yon owe it to.
Don’t make a bill if you are
airing to growl and look sour
when youv are asked to pay it.
Pay with a smile and thank him
who is troubled by having to
;ome to collect it.

! Murphy gives the reasons which
have led him to make this deci
sion, and declares that in doing
so he is carrying out his convic
tions of duty, regardless of the
: effect that it may have upon him
i individually and politically.
Col. Murphy and Gov. Davis
have been bitter personal ene
mies for the past t\yo years.
Since the trouble aros6 between
Gov. Davis and the other mem
bers of the penitentiary board,
which ended in the investigation
conducted by the last general
assembly, the two officials have
not been on speaking terms.
Col. Murphy represented the
other members of the peniten
tiary board in the investigation,
in the course of which he
brought many charges against
the governor. In the last cam
paign for the Democratic nomi
nation for governor Col. Murphy
took an active part in support of
Judge Wood and made a number
of speeches in which he hitterly
assailed Gov. Dhvis’.' Up until
the present time, however, he
had made no open declaration
that he would refuse to support
Gov. Davis m tne election and
would vote for the Republican
nominee.
