Since that time, however, facts came to light sufficient to have the negro arrested the second time, brought to custody and tried before Judge Alexander. The negro was convicted of the murder of Rowland and sentenced to be hung on the 20th day of June. Joseph F. Curtis advertises in today’s paper for employment at the carpenter’s business. We think that when a man will advertise for work he ought to get it. Curtis will work cheap and do it well. Try him.
