No DISEASE has ever presented so many
peculiarities as LaGrippe. iNo disease
leaves its victims so debilitated, -useless,
sit't'piess, nerveless, as LaGrippe.
y.rD. W. Hilton, state atrent of the Mut
ual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says:
"In 1n9 and '90 I had two severe attacks
of I.aCripne, the last one attacking my ner
vous system with such severity that my life
was despaired of. I hud not slept for more
tiian two months except by the use of nar- .
co'ics that stupefied me, but pave me no
rest. I was oniy conscious of intense mental .
weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the
fart that I was hourly growing weaker.
When in tins condition, I commenced using
lr Miles' Restorative Nervine. In two days
I began to improve and in one month's time
1 nas cured, much to the surprise of all who
knew of my condition. I have been in ex
cellent health since and have recommended
your remedies to many of my friends.

The execution of Tom Coving
ton, who murdered Mr. J allies
Brown oh the 27th of September,
1894. took place iu the jailyard iu
Newton yesteiday. Justice has
een meted out to tbe guilty, the
blood of the murdered man has
been avenged and the peualty of
thrf broken law has leen paid.
it was iu the sileut watches of
the night that death sought James
Brown; it came upon him in the
darkness' of the early morning
hours, gropiug its way to bim, feel
ing for him here and there. Find
ing its prey at last, it springs npon
bim without warning and from its
embrace the helpless clay falls to
the floor, lor tbe spirit has returned
to tbe Giver and only the dust re
mains. It was iu the broad open light of
day when Covington met his death
fearlessly, boldly, unflinchingly.
It was as though he challenged the
grim monster to do his worst, as
he had no ordinary mortal to deal
with. . Covington met death with
the bearing of a braggadocio rather
than the spirit of a brave man. As
he couducted himself duiing and
since his trial, so did he during the
last few minutes of his lite. Sev
eral' times during the last few
weeks he lfas been heard, to say
that he was ready to die and heart
ily wished it was over with. The
Methodist miuister at Newton,
Bev; M. If. Hyle, was with Cov
ington n-aily every day during Ue
last week of his life, and says he
was astonished at the circles and
iudifferent manner of the man;
that he either did not fully realize
and uudi-rstaiid his true position
or was the possessor of an unlim
ited amount of sell posx-ssiou and
nerve'. .While the prisoner would
talk fieely with Mr. Hoyle, it was
as though they were discussing the
fate of one whom neither knew or
cared about.
The moruiug of tbe execution
the minister went to Covington's
cell, read several Bible lessons aud
prayed with him. The prisoner,
during the conversation, said be
three slight movements of tbe
shoulders bat it was purely muscu
lar the doctors will tell you it
wag reflex muscular action. Cov
ington, was pronounced dead six
minutes after tbe trap ws sprung.
His heart beat five minutes after
be fell, but it was the ontuion of
tbe physicians, Dr. J. II. Yount
and Dr. P. T. Foard, that death
was painless.
"The body was cut dou t 1.40,
placed iu a plain pine coffin and
turned over ta Kev. Mile Aberue
thy, the dead man's uncle. There
was a rurubr to the effect that Cov
iugtou would be buried iu Concord
graveyard, where the body of his
victim is restiug, but it is hardly
more than a rumor, as such would

At this point iu the conversation
the minister looked at his watch.
Covington asked the tune uud
when told that it was 12:'0 o'clock.
he remarked in a careless, off
hand manner: Well, 1 suppose 1
am abont done for this world."
iNotJa quaver of the voice, not the
slightest twitcu ot l lie mourn, nor
tbe least cbauge iu the eye accom
panied this remark. It was spoken
in a careless way, the voice bard
and cold, and the approaching step
of The sheriff, who was coming to
lead him to the gallows, was a re
lief to those who heard the prison
er's remark.
The gallows bad been erected Iu
the rear of the jail and close to tbe
porch, so that the' steps leadiug to
the platform rested ou tbe porch.
The cross beam was about 15 leet
from the ground, aud the platform,
five feet square, was about eight
feet from the ground. The plat
form or trap was -held iu' place iu
the rear by au iron rod ruuning
through it and the ends fastened
iu upright posts; the front of the
trap was held up by a post, to
which a rope was fastened.
It was exactly 1:01 p in. when
the prisoner ' ascended the three
steps which led to the gallows plat
form. Sheriff T. L. Bandy placed
the rope on t he prisoner's neck be
fore be left the cell, aud led him to
the gallows. Bev. M. U. Uovle
walked beside the piisoner. Cov
ington walked with firm step and
bold deuieauor and" seemed 4 the
least disturbed of the three men.
The minister baited at the steps of
the gallows aud began the relig
ious service witlr the following re
mark: "The prisouer says be has
coufessed bis sin aud been for
given and that bo is uow ready to
die and meet his Savior." Mr.
ilole then read tbe 14th chapter
of John, beginning at the lGtb
veise. Having fiuished the read
ing he kelt down ami prated. Cov
iuuton knelt upon boih knees on
the- trap and as his lips were mov
ing duiing the prajer it is sup
posed be eil her repeated the. min
ister's praer or prayed himself.
When he siood up- after the
prajer to have tbe rope adjusted
to the crossbeam he did not pre
sent the appearance of one who
was to die. About five feet, four
iuches high, compactly built,
weighing about 145 pounds, a face
but Lyttou had managed to tlude
the officers and was finally located
at tbe Mooresville cotton mill. He
was tbe brother in-law of Coving
ton and was shown into the lat
ter's cell wbeu bu was delivered at
the jail. Covinglou talked with
him for some time in a very jolly
and pleas-tut way, notwithstand
ing be bad ouly a few short hours
to live. When the sbenff eutered
the room aud read tbe death war
raut to Covington, be turned and
bade Lytton goodb.rc in a very
matter of fact, every day kind of
way, as though he expected to see
him ag.nu in a short time.
Among those who witnessed the
execution were Messrs. Osliornt
and George Brown, hons of the
