An Umbrella Story.

Uncle Dan Fourshec went to Fowler,
Lee d Co s coal office one afternoon
about sunset, and paid the gentlcmanly
clerk, Mr.. Dorse Dunn, about 1926 for
some coal he had been getting. Mr.,
Dunn, put away the money, made prop
er entry in the books, and went immedi.
ately to supper; after which he took his
usual nocturnal stroll over Island creek
bridge, a few miles out on the Cairo
road. Upon his return about 10 o'clock,
he took a seat on the boat store to rest,
and Mr. Sullivan, the clerk there, said to
him. "Dorsc, Uncle Dan Fourshee has
been looking for you everywhere: he
waited here an hour to see yon. He
didn't say what he wanted, hut he's Con.
stable you know; perhaps he wanted to
arrest you, or make collection of you"
No he doesn't" said D,rse, II havn't.
done anything to be arrested for and |
don't owe cent in the world" and i'm
imediately went to his room to go to bed
But he could not sleep. what could
old Dan Fourshee want with me p was
the question which banshed slumber
from his eyes. He got nervous, he
couldn't rest, SO he went into the Office,
opened the safe, and got out the cooks,
looked over the cash account, thinking
perhaps Uncle Dan had made mistake
and paid him too much or too little and
wanted to correct it Alter adding up
whole columns of figures and counting
all the money in the house several times,
finding everything all right and in per-
feet balance, but still sleep would not
come, he determined to put an end to his
misery by going to Uncle Dams house
1t was getting late but he plunged through
the streets, and soon knocked at the old
mans door. "Who is that ?" sounded
from a well known voice within. "It' s
me, Uncle Dan; Dorse Dunn. Did you
want to see me about anything?" "Yaas,
Dorse," said Uncle Dan, putting his
head outside, "did leave my umbrella
at your Office to-day when l was down
thar settling for that coal? ?" No I'll be
damned if you did, said Oorse as he
strobe off in the biggest disgust of the
season.

SCOTT COUNTY.
Mr.. EDITOR !:

Mr.. EDITOR:
The origin of the late disturbances
in Scott County most of your readers
know. With the exception Of a compa-
ny of Militia camped in and around the
Court House in Waldron, the county
scat, to stranger entering the place,
nothing unusual appears to be going on.
We were met by as clever and as socia-
BILE people in the place as are to be found
anywhere. The good people of the town
regret the necessity of having to keep
Militia in their midst. They appreciate
the ugly reports that will 60 abroad
on account of it. But most of them
seem to think that since they have the
Militia it is better for the county, as it
gives them for the present an assurance
of peace and protection. Itappears that
had the Sheriff acted promptly and encr-
getically at the beginning of the late out
break there never would have been any
necessity for Militia. lie seems now
to have lost his influence and is power
less without the aid of the Military to
enforce the law. The late difficulties
we are satisfied originated in Waldron
among a lot of drunken rowdies and DIES
peradoes, and does not belong to the
county. If severe punishment is meet.
cd out to these parties, and the civil au
thorities will actively discharge theil
duties in the future there will never
again be occasion for Militia. No hall
way dealing with this disturbing elc
ment will do. They must be made to
feel that lawlessncss won't pay.
1t is great misfortune for the reputa
ton OF our state abroad that such an oc
curance should have happened in Scot
County and that reports should have
gone abroad worse than what really ex
lists there. But these things must have
an end, orimmigrants will shun our State
as they would a country of savages anc
wild beasts. A vigorous enforcement O.
the laws of our State is ample and suffi
cient to give us perfect peace and secu
rity.
We passed through Jenny Lind in Sc
bastian County, the neighborhood o
which are some of the finest coal bank.
in the State, and coal of d superior quail
ity.
Also Salem Furnishing community
where we met many good and substan
tial citizens.
The crops all along the route from
Van Buren, to Waldron are fine and the
farmers happy. J.
