Bay*A diapatch from Cloverdalo, dated last Monday, says: Two young men named respectively Bryant and Hazelett became involved in a quarrel at a basket meeting near Belle Union, eight miles east of here, yesterday, which led to Bryant shooting at Hazelett and afterwards stabbing in the abdomen with a knife. Tho shot did not take effect, but the cut is severe, though it is thought not fatal. The trouble was over an old fued. is estimated that seven thousand people came to Greencastle from the surrounding country, on Monday. Allowing that they spent on an average $1 each, that would be $7,000 put into the pockof Greencastle business men on that da}'. This was tho grand result of the energetic efforts of a few enterprising men. Had it not been for tho imposing programme arranged and carried into successful execution by them, these thousands of people would have went elsewhere to spend the day and their money. Give us a few more such men and Greencastle will become noted, not only lor her educational, but for her business institutions. Such men are, indeed, "the salt of the*earth.”

On the 7th of September out of the Treasurer’s office,
know that I had everything all right I employed Mr, Joseph Mulholn, Ex-Dep-uty Auditor, to carefully look over my whole administration. My books were found to bo correct, passing over June settlements of 1876, 77,’78 and’79. The Auditor had me over-charged in one case the sum of $301 68, being a double entry of common school fund interest, which was corrected in my favor. Mr. Mulholn discontinued his investigations June, 1879, and for the last three months of my administration, being partially engaged on thi. farm and depending on Mr. Mulholn to work occasionally at my books, it seems that I failed in some way to place some interest on the books to my charge that I should have clone; and also failing to give myself credit with some money paid out for which I was entitled to a credit. The Greencastle correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette states that at the time I went out of office that I was
At her home in Bainbridge, Ind., the evening of July 3, Mrs. Lizzie Finley Coffman, in the 30th year of her age. The deceased was born at Greencastlei on July 12,1850. She was married to John 0. Coffman on the 4th of July, 1865 i and died in the same month, as seen above. Thus, she was born, led to the marriage altar, and lain away in the grave in the month of July, and her marriage j and burial were upon the same day, and but 13 years apart. Mrs. Coffin lived a quiet but pious life, and one of true devotion to her husband and four little ones, all of whom survive her. She united with the M. E. Church in tho winter of 1866, under the ministry of Rev. F. M. Pavey. Her departure was sudden. “There was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet

Notice.
Notice is hereby given that my wife, Malinda Salmans, has left iny bed and board, and I hereby warn all persons not to trust her on my account, as I will pay no bills so contracted. James W. Salmans. June 23, 1880. A Till'd I'l’OIII JIl’M. Sill III HUM. Editor Statesman. I would say to you that I never left the bed and board of James Salmans, for he never had B bed. lie brought mo over here to see my sick mother, and and promised to come after me in two or three days. He sold tho cow, hogs, stove, chairs and the garden I had raised, and has turned me out barefooted and naked, lie need not bo afraid that I would run him in debt, for be has no credit. Malinda Salmans. Bismarck, III., June 27.
zette the Greencastle correspondoRt states that there were false entries made by mo. I want to say to tho correspondent, whoever he may be, that he is a falsifier and a slanderer, and I ask him to show wherein false entries were made. I asked Mr. Renick this morning if he had discovered any false entries, and he said he had not. I asked Mr. llillis what all these statements meant, and his answer was—“I suppose, Dick, it was for a little political boom.” Mr. llillis says my books were not balanced for three or four years. I say that my books wore compared with tho Auditor’s every June, and I state, further, that the County Auditor never drew a warrant on tho Treas-
urer’s office while I was treasurer; that
l did not pay without a question, many times paying thousands of dollars before they were due. Respectfully,
R. S. Farrow.

Train leaves here at 1:17 p. m. Tickets at depot. Dick Peters had a favorite trick, which ho frequently played on the saloon keepers of Madison, California. Entering a crowded harrom, he would say in a loud voice: “Well, boys, what are you going to drink!” Everybody would rush up to the bar on Peters's seeming invitation, but after the round of drinks had disappeared ho would lay down tho exact price of his own beverage and saunter away. If pay for all was demanded of him he would coolly remark: “Oh, I only ask what they was a going to drink out of curiosity, because I intended t» take something myself, and wanted a suggestion. 1 pays fur my own horn, and no more.” Ho was what was called “a bad man,” and few cared to get into a controversy with him; but finally an exasperated bartender shot him, and at last accounts his recovery was improbable.
