a DozeR Devils Loosc. On Sundav
night, during the hours Of service in the

whiskey, thought proper to enlven the
town with a free fight in strumpets
den Of "Brog Level" Seeing the fght
wax hotter the women joined battle With
Tue men, IN which the indomitable
broom shovel, ougs and the more eff.
rect I've weapon of "bilin water" were
freely used. The line of battle exten~
ded through various streets and along
the railroad track To a point near the
Tennessee Depot in Bristol when the
Mayor of the latter promptly appeared
with possee Of police and charged the
combattants But md all the fury of
the fray, when victory was trembling
In The balance, reinforcement of ,rog,o,l
came In to decide the contest. Here a
most touching scene occurred. Am.
brose, who was down with whiskey)
was heard cry out oh I! I'm going to
die yes III die!--I'l die I! and placing
his check gently upon his mother earth
announced these heart-rending words
now I'm dying-dying-Im dying now
and now I'm deod,--d The women
carried everything before them. Bris-
tolls troops were driven from the field
with bruised bones and few prisoners.
When morning dawped the enemy had
reiterated scouts we're sent cut aud
many prisoners and much spoil, in the
shape of fines, were taken. The last
time we visited tho Mayors court we
heard the ominous sentence SIS and
costs-Sl0 and costs 1912 and costs
and suppose it is still going on. Bless
ed are These peacemakers
Thanks to Congress, Candy and test
oaths the pride of Goodson is shamed
but Bristol is victorious. All is now
quiet along the railway and peace reigus

The ChancellOrship The contestfo
the slippers of Judge Lucky in the Isl
Tennessee district seems narrowed down
to the present temporary incumbent,
Judge James Swami, to whom we have
the irresistible objection that he favors
to a rare extent Judge Harrison, of
West Virginia, and we think that would
weigh very heavily, if not unforru.
nately, against him with any one who
ever knew Harrison.
