CowARDLY PRoCEEDINd.--Afr friend
informs us that on Saturday evening
last a couple of fellows. one named
Cox and the other named Cooper,
went to the residence of Mr.. E. G..
Doughman, in Clay Township, and
called him out into the road. Having
got him out there, they proceeded to
address him in abusive language,
threatening to "whip" him, and say
ing they had ''come prepared" Mr..
D. was entirely unarmed; and as one
of the assailants is very large, heavy
man, and the other of ordinary size,
he was unable to tackle both at once.
He stood his ground, however, and
told them that If they assaulted him
he should defend himself rs best he
could. They did not strike him, but
they kept him out there while, with
threatening demonstrations, and then
went off. The cause of the affair, as
we hear, was dispute about the di-
vision of some corn in the field. The
assault, under such circumstances,
appears most disgraceful and cow
ardly one.

! A SOLDIER OF 1s12.-Mr. Thomas
Smith, OF Knoxville, was 76 years old
last Monday. He enlisted i'm Septem-
Der, 1914, as member OF the Ian
caster PA Phalanx," Company OF
80 men, commanded by Captain Geo.
Hambright; and served, with the rest
of the Company, for three months.
During this time the Phalanx was
ordered to the relief of Baltimore, and
arrived there on the day after the
skirmish at North Point. Mr.. Smith
has been citizen of this County for
the last II years.
There are several other Soldiers Of
1912 in this County. We have tried
to obtain a list of them, but failed.
If they or their friends will be kind
enough to send us their names, with
particulars Of nature similar to those
given above, We shall be glad to pub
lish the statements-and at least one
Member Of Congress would sec them.
A bill to provide Pensions for soldiers
and widows Of 1912 is now pending;
and it can do no harm to let Members
know how many of these veterans
they represent.

ANOTHER HUMBUa.- Friend Haynes,
p. M. Mt Pleasantville, sends us a copy
of Confidential" Autograph letter
just received at his Office from some
rascals signing themselves as HI.
Lott & Co., 1855 Broadway, New York
City" proposing to sell counterfeit
greenbacks on livery liberal terms"
OF course there Is no such firm doing
business at that place; and of course
all the fools who send money to these
rascals will be cheated out Of it en-
tirely-as they deserve to be. But
the worst Of the matter 10, that sever
al letters have been mailed at Pleas
antville, directed to similar concerns
in New York City. There's one con-
ISOLATION, however:-No chap who
could send for counterfeit money In
this way, and expect to get 1t to circu-
late, could have sense enough to pass
it if he should get 1t. We can pity d
person who loses money honestly,
through no fault Of his; but no who
makes a fool of himself, and that with
a dishonest motive, deserves no mercy.

what amusing instance of the present

The Teacher merely sat down and

commonly called in the School; and
1t will be observed that a number OF
them are diminutives. In short, every
given name nowadays must be made
