That Missing Will.
Readers of the RKVIEW will remember of seeiug in these columns, shortly after the death of Mrs. Susan Host, of Darlington, an accouat of a will made by the deceased and left in the care of a Mr. Martin, and how this will was either lost or stolen from that gentleman. The will left her recreaut husband $1, and to her grandson, E. W. Phillips, the remainder et her property, Best had deserted his wife shortly before her death, but bobbed up again in Darlington the day after the funeral. He took charge of the personal property, most of which he sold, and then disappeared again. About the same time the will was missed. Much strong feeling was manifested against Best and many went so far as to threaten him with bodily barm should he again put in an appearance at Darlington. Last Wednesday the missing will was found among Mr, Martin's papers as quickly as it had disappeared and, strange to relate, Best likewise appeared. The will was probated Thursday under protest from Best, who says the properly was not his wife's to will away and adds that he will at once enter Buit to establish his claim.

The noise of heavy schvitlliug in his room attracted the at tentiou of nther occupants of the house. Retiring to his room a horrible spectacle met their gaze. Rooliug and reeking in a pool o! blood lay the young man with his throat cut from ear to ear. Dr. Hurt, of Waynetown, wan hastily summoned who properly re-adju«t?d the fellow's head and then sewed It fast t" the body. He cannot live.

Councilman for 2nd Ward.
llr. Ilemas Gilbert, the well known baker, is candidate for councilman in the 2nd ward. His opponent, is Wm. Vanarsdall. Mr. Gilbert has the interests of the city as much to heart as any citizen, aud if elected would fill the duties of the position with satisfaction to the people. He is a hustler in business, and in proportion to hia means has done as much for Crawfordeville as any other citizen. He has built three or four substantial business rooms, the present building occupied by him on Green street being the last erected by him. The purchase of the electric light plant involving an expenditure of $30,000, was of sufficient importance to have been left to the voters of the city, to decide upon whether or not it should be purchased, yet like Vanderbuilt, the council seems to have thought, "the public be d—d." To say the least of it it was a recklesB act. Let there be anew deal all around. Let new men be selected. Mr. Gilbert we are satisfied will make a good race, and if elected a good councilman to whom matters relating to the city's welfare can safely be left. He has many friends among those opposed to him in political matters, who iu the business of candidate for councilman will give him their support. The election is on Tuesday next.
A Strike For Pie and Potatoes. The tramps who were run in last Saturday and received a sentence of sixteen days on the chain gang for raisiug a disturbance uear the Junction, went on a strike last Monday afternoon. Wheu the gang was ushered into dinner Monday the trouble began. A couple of high-toned and fastidious prisoners, Joe Waid and Bud Goldsberry, who are serving jail sentences, were served along with the regular meal, a couple of extra luxuries, pie and potatoes. To this partiality the gang took exceptions: and at once notified Sheriff McClaskey that thoy would not return to work until tliey had been favored with these two palatable plates. Ail efforts to get them to return to work proved in vain and the whole party were locketl in the dark cell and fed on bread anil water. This diet was furnished until Tuesday evening wheu the gang weakened aud notified the sheriff they were ready !o go to work and say nothing more about the pie and potatoes.
Verily the wcy to conquer a tramp is to tain per with his stomach.

Hunting a Husband.
The monotony of a quiet day was somewhat relieved last Sunday afternoon by the appearance on our streets of a young lady and a mid-dle-aged gentleman riding in a buggy. Of course that was nothing unusual but the fact that the young lady was weeping copious streams of tears with an occasional audible inoan and that the couple had been seen for hours on the streets, iiret up one and then down the other, as if in search of a lost child, created {no end of excitement. After considerable hustling a REVIEW man soon learned the cause of the trouble. It seems that in or near the town of Alamo there resided this young lady and her husband and until one week ago last Thursday lived fairly well together. On this day the two became mixed in a slight altercation and In the heat of his passion the young man left his wife vowing be would never set eyes on her again. Knowing the threat was made while his anger was at white heat, the wife gave the threat Utile credence, thinking of course he would return in :i few hours or a day at least. Friday and Saturday came and went and yet the prodigal returned not. Sunday morning the wife became frantic from fear that she would never see htr husband again and in company with the youaji man's father came to this city where thoy instituted a thorough search. Along about five o'clock the seekers were rewarded by finding the object of their search just as he was emerging from a stairway in a building on north Green street. The young man was called to the buggy where the three conversed first in low and then in animated tones for more than an hour. What words passed between them no one knows, but the interview culminated by the young man enterlug the buggy and all three driving away together.
