The grand jury has been making

the fire fly this week. Two bailiffs

have been kept going night and day

for witnesses from every part of the county. R. H. Gentry and W.

The probababilities are strong that the grand jury will remain in session, next week.

Owners of traction engines should

bear in mind that a law has gone

into effect which requires a man to

be sent along the highways in ad

vance of their approach, thus less

ening the probabilities of runaway

accidents. Also, if an engine be

stationed near a highway it must be stopped while teams are passing.

An exchange claims to have dis

covered the longest word in any language, but it is only a line and two-thirds in length. The longest,

word that has ever come under our

observation is the clergyman's "one word more and I will close." It gen

There is a tendency on the part

of a great many people of the coun

ty to say, 'I won't get the premium

if 1 take my stuff to the fair,"when

in reality they are the very ones who would take the premiums perhaps if they would go and compete for them. And even if they are not lucky enough to secure the premiums by coming in contact and competition with, one another both parties will be greatly benefited. The very fact itself that you are beaten in a contest is sufficient proof that your competitor has some advantage of you, and you should find this out at once. The value of this interchanging of ideas at our county fair is a benefit that can not be over estimated.

The suit of Mrs. Pitts against

David Alien for . the shooting and killing of her husband near EUetta-

viile in March, 1885, began in the Circuit Court here last Tuesday .The case has been put oiF from term to term, in the mean time Allen was tried on a criminal indictment for the killing, and was acquitted. This trial took place at Spencer on change

of venue, last fall. The testimony on

the present trial is about the same that elicited at the criminal trial. On the day of the shooting Pitts

was selling off his goods prepara

tory to leaving for the West. Allen

Mid Pitts had some words over a deed when Pitts drew his coat and

reached for his revolver, when Allen

fired the fatal - shot and left the

house. Pitts then got down a gun and attempted to follow Allen. This

is what the teBtimoiry for Allen

showed and out of it a case of self defense was made on a; former trial.

But Pitts' friends claim that he did not attempt to reach for a revolver, and that the. shooting was unjustifiable, hence the claim for damages. Messrs. Buskirk & Duncan, Judge

Miers, R. A. Eulk and John R. East

wore attornej's for Allen, and Louden & Rogers and Major Mulky for

Mrs. Pitts.

The jury went out Thursday after'

noon at 2 o'clock and up to Friday

morning there was no prospects of agreement. 1

Backward, tarn backward, O, time in thy night, rake up a suicide just for the night; I am so weary of news that is stale, writing up drunkards and vagrants in jail, writing up people that buy up some ground, writing old chestnuts of in pound; weary of chasing till worn are my shoes, rake up some news, mother, rake up some news. Backward, turn backward, O, tide of the years, take me again to the time when the beers, frothy and foaming, were drank by the pail, aLd people got full and were run of to jail. Let's have murder, a shooting or worse, let's have a scandal or thrilling divorce ; to work on a paper would give yon the blues, rake up some news, mother, rake up some news. Ex.

One of the crimes of the

and it is really a crimeis the hurry and bustle with which nearly everything is done. The business and professional man, the farmer and mechanic, hurry themselves into their clothes in the morning, hurry their breakfast into their stomachs, and rush of to their work as though it was their last day on earth. A certain amount of energy is always to be commended, and the sin of over-worked is better than ' the sin of laziness. But among those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows there is entirely too much worry, for they are the men and women whose lives should be prolonged as being beneficial to the community. These remarks are especially applicable to farriers and their wives, who always arise eaTrly in the morning and work till late at night a constant rush all day long. The lazy, trilling person is of no consequence, and it really matters t little whether his good-for-nothing form reposes on a dry-goods box or in the grave, but no man or woman can be in u continual state of worry and excitement and do a full day's work without soon breaking down. In very many instances the useless worry and excitement in regard to tasks to be performed is much harder than the work itself and premature gray hairs which adorn the heads of most middle-aged men can be attributed to needless concern and mental strain in regard to their daily tasks.

While attending as strictly as possible to work, let all worry as little as they can in regard to their various occupations and matters concerning them.
