FROM ANNA.
AnxA. LIS, October 8, 1914

The rains recently fallen in this county
have afforded tho farmers such an oppor-
tunity of blowing their fallow lands,
that comparatively few of them como to
town. Sill business is moro lively than
it was wont to DC.
Our little city still improves. Mr.. Q.
". Willard, anxious, no doubt, TO unite
j enesboro and Anna in indissoluole
bonds, lie putting up several respectable
tenomen, houses on the western line Of
the corporation, thus making continuous
row Of buildings from the depot to the
court house. Mir. Freeze also is erecting
hsndsom, cottage residence for himself
10 the neighborhood OF the old school
house, and James q. Sublett has had the
interior of his saloon neatly fitted up and
the exterior Handsomely painted and pen
ciled, go that it now presents splendid
front of the most attractive character.
Some little excitement WAS created in
tho city on last Monday when 1t became
known that Messrs. Finch and ShicE aud
@. W. Willard had been notified by
an anonymous meddler, that tho negroes
in their employ mus. DO discharged, and
qdiL the vicinity within twenty-iour
hours or dire would be the consequences
! OF such refusal. No attention was paid
to this cowsrdiy threat, aud all is yet
lovely, peaceful and quiet. This stmos-
phoro is unsuited 10 such ridiculous
procedure.
Il regret 10 say iha. we are about to
lose very estimabe citizen, James
II. Smith, Esq, who has sold oil his per-
tonal effects and is bound to mako ST.
Louis his future residences.
Wash Norris, who was recently sen,
up to Joliet one year, for the shooting Of
, one Miller, for the seduction Of his wife,
has been pardoned by the Governor, and
is at home among his friends. This is a
commendsIory and well deserved &C, OF
clomenoy on the part of Governor Bever-
idge, for We have no doubt Norris was
goAded to the act which was done under a
fit of emotional inssni,y," and conse-
quently excusable.

Coy over the head with bludgeou, has
been arrested by officers Boon and Boren,
