as those on a living person and the
murderous gun shot wounds he had
received during life time show as
natural as could be. If the petri-
fied man is but an imitation then
it must be pronounced a good one
and such an idea must collide with
the evidence of credible gentlemen
who claim that they were well ac-
quainted with Johnson and can
recognize his features in those of
the man of stotfe. The body is
said to weigh about five hundred
pounds and is now the property of
Drs. H. P. and C L. Clark of

chased it.

Stine of the second ward and Jim
Williams of the third ward expire
at the end of this month and the
friends of each of these gentlemen
have announced them again for the
respective offices which they have
been tilling the past term with
honor and fidelity, notwithstand-
ing the declaration of some of the
gentlemen that they would not en-

there are others talked of for the
different vacancies to be filled. As
we have stated before the names of
H. A. Smith. W. J. Clay and A.
