Pasturage For Rent.

Sixty acres of blue grass, with good running water, to rent for season. Call on J. A. Stebbleton at Overton farm, two miles east of Pleasant Ridge.

J A. Stebelton, who resides on the Overton farm 6 miles east of town, related to the Pilot, Monday a case of inhuman treatment of driving horses by some people lately moved from Warren county up to Gifford’s ranch. They attempted through the almost impassible roads of last week to drive a good fat team to a heavily loaded farm wagon from their Warren county place through in two days Reaching Mr. Stebelton’s neighborhood one horse gave out, and instead of putting him in a stable and caring for him as the case demanded, he was turned into an open lot, in a warm sweaty condition, unprotect d from the cold of Saturday night. Consequence the horse died, and another was in fair way to follow suit.
