Shot Ills Wife.
The village of Hillsboro, across the line in Fountain county, was all excitement Friday evening over the cruel shooting of his wife by John Fossett, a young man who has been working in the flouring mills of that place. About three months ago he was married and the union unhappy. A lew days ago they separated, his wife going to live with her mother, Friday evening he saw her in the yard and asked her if she would live with him, to which she replied, saying that she would not. He then drew a 88 calibre revolver, shooting her three times, until Bhe fell to the ground. The balls penetrated her breast, tearing off the fingers on one hand that she had thrown up for protection. She was alive Friday night but the attending physician said Bhe could not recover as the leaden missels had entered the lungs and hemorrhage had set in. When he saw that lie iiad done his fiendish work well he started to run to his mother's home, loading his revolver as he went as was supposed to take his own life, but at the gate he was overtaken by three citizens who placed him under arrest We go to press too early to secure any farther particulars but we suppope he was taken to Covington and lodged in jail.

They hope to have sufficient names to form the company within the next ten days.
His tongue was all coated and thick as a rope, The taste in his mouth quite suggested soft soap, And over the surface crept Bly little chills, And he asked tor a box of SMAIL'S LIVEHPIIXS,

T..O E11??•
And he got it.
Ho opened the box with the slyest of skill, And shot himself iu the mouth with a pill Then sat hiuiself down and with gripings he fought, To reflect on results of this medical shot,
And he reflected,
There were heavings within and quiverings without A liver upheaved and turned inside out Anew man was formed from the wreck in a trice, And twenty-five cents per box was the price, .vie v. Cheap enough.

Though the program announced the next paper as the production of Mrs. Lulu Davidson we are Inc .jed to believe she is Miss Davidson, as she was introduced to the audience as Miss, and is certainly a rather girlish-looking Mrs. At the beginning or her paper I was In" clined to think it a trifle superficial, but before Its reading was over enough good points had been made to show that tho writer was a young lady of wonderfully good common sense, as well as fine education. Her paper was bright, well-worded, and showed depth of thought and a fund of general information worthy of a graduate from one of our best colleges, which we suspect Miss Davidson to be.—Rockville Tribune.

The Journal attempts to praise "little Senator Mount" by saying he worked so entiringly for the gravel road bill. We are willing to give honor to whom it is due and think our worthy contempory should do likewise. Jim Mount did not even call that bill up in the Senate. It was the work of Representative Carroll and it was through his effort that the bill became a law. In fact we have not seen a bill of "Little Jim's" that became a law. Let those have the credit who doserve it
