of Knox county, Monday, 22d inst. A
flock of geese belonging to Mynatt had
been getting Into Demarcus, meadow,
and Sunday morning Demarcus drove

We have received the first number of
| the Clinton DispGtcb, a weekly newspa-
per just started at Clinton, Tenn, by j.
| w. Kennedy. It will be remembered
by our citizens, that Mr.. Kennedy Was
resident of this place during the publi-
cation of the HOlstOn Methodist here, of
which paper he was foreman, and was
we'll known as an able, sober and indus
| trious gentleman In politics the Dis

IA serious difficulty occurred last
| Monday evening near Hollis saloon. at
| the Depot, between VIM. Darnel and
| Phillip Spake, both of this county. 1t
seems as though both had been drink
! ing, and commenced exchanging words
with one another, when Spake drew a
large knife and made for Darnel, and
before any one could interfere, he had
inflicted a horrible if not mortal wound
on DarnePs throat DIR. Owens was
summoned at once, and after dressing
the wound, had Mr.. Darnel removed to
| Wits old shop. Spake was arrested
and taken before Squire Donaldson, who
after hearing the evidence, bound him
over in the sum of $4,000. Ats late
hour Monday night he had not succeed
ed in giving the required bond and it is
likely he will put up with Sheriff Boyd
for a few weeks. Mr.. Darnel, we learn,
is resting well this morning (Tuesday),
and hopes are entertained of his recov-
cry. .if ~ s4,et ,rf Eet. taf...-ss
