The clouds lifted from the gloom-op-
pressed earth the night preceding yes
terday, so hat people woke up in the
morning an hour OF two earlier than on
any previous morning of the week.
The oxygen in the air was in greater
abundance. The sky was blue, a brisk
breeze sprung up, and the popular pulse
beat several degrees faster than for a
week before. People who had tasks to
perform reused up and went at them
with a will. Those who had "crows to
pickn jumped out of bed with twO-fold
alacrity resolved to pluck the last feath-
er; and such of our enterprising citizens
as had horses missing went after those
animals with a cheerful determi-
nation to find them or per-
ish in the attempt. A hardy Pincher
named Malone was of this latter number.
He went in quest of his missing rosi-
mantle, and found him on Main street,
saddled and bridled. A man was stand
ing at his head who said he was a Con-
stable attached to the office of Squire
Hall, in the lower part of the town; he
was merely taking the horse to the
"Skwire's,n hitch him outside till the
proper owner should come and prove
property, etc. The Pincher was dis
gusted at this roundabout way of recov-
ering his horse. He insisted in having
him there and then. The Hall COnsta-
bic not being willing to render up the
animal, was compelled to endure the
weight of Pincher's bunch of five upon
his nose and under his nose and about
his facial outlines, until he would not
know his own face in a glass. Pincher
got his horse, together with an addi-
tional saddle and bride which were not
on him when lost.
"TURN HER LoOSE.n
About the same time a boisterous mis-
understanding took place in a saloon in
the same vicinity. There was loud talk,
fierce Oaths, blows and a shot. One Of
the parties was shot in the heel. 'Squiro
Spelman, in twenty minutes afterward,
issued twenty-five warrants, but the
parties in the neighbOrhood, who love
peace, interfered, and had things fixed
up without the tedious and unsatisfac-
tory process of a trial.
DOING BATTLE"
Miss Bette Battle, from Nashville,
ran her cocoanut head against the alb
dominal protuberance of a stout old gen
tleman on Second street, Wednesday
night, and thereby so discomfitted his
internal economy that he was completely
knocked off his center. She then went
for his auriferous chronOmeter, worth
ninety-seven dollars and thirty-five
cents, and made away with it. Harry
Cranmer arrested her shortly afterward.
She was interviewed by Squire Spell
man yesterday morning, and sent to
jail. She will be sent back to Nashville,
TO do washing for the convicts, most
likely.
BECAUSE a person has a bad cough it
should not be inferred that consump-
ton has set in, although a case of con-
sumption is rarely met with unaecom-
panied by a distressing cough. Where,
however, q disposition to pulmonary
disease exists, a cough, if left to itself,
strains and racks the lungs, and wastes
the general strength, and soon estab-
fishes an incurable complaint. In all
cases, then, it is the safer plan to get
rid of a cough, cold OF hoarseness with
out delay, and for this purpose no rem
edy acts more promptly or surely, or
with more benefit to the organs of the
chest than DR.. d. Jayne's EXpectorant,
an article scientifically compounded
from carefully selected drugs, and
which, on trial, will always be found
worthy Of its worldwide reputation.
