Several Of the influential men of Paint
Township were out the first Of the week,
viewing a location for the proposed branch
Of the narrow gauge railroad from Hills
boro to Baimbridge What success they
had we are not able to say. Let the people
of Paint wake up to a sense Of their duty,
and ere long we can Eoast of at least one
railroad through our township. We have
the money, and all We need is a little more
energy on the part of some our influential
men.

As stated in our last, there are some
wheat fields in our township that will make
an average crop, others will not make any
thing scarcely, owing to the rust and the
fly.
Early planted corn did not come up very
well, owing to the continued cold and wet
weather.
We think the suggestion Of Brother
"Shrub," of Greenfield, in regard to "hug-
ging socials," a very good one. We know
several young men who would invest qrar-
any how. But We think he is rather hard
on the young ladies in regard to padding,
for we have hugged some Of them ourselves,
(in our young days and never met with
any serious injury. Let US hear from some
Of the young ladies on the subject, while
we remain INCOGNITO.

A Statement Concerning
the Public Library.

Not quite O year has passed since
the Reading Room was opened to
the public, and already it has secured
high place in our community. The
success of the enterprise has exceed
ed the hopes of its most saDguine
friends. The attendance, the inter
est, and the good order, have been
very gratifying.
We would acknowledge the hearty
goodwill Of the citizens Of our town
toward this undertaking. We would
also express our obligations to the
Mayor and Council, who have so
readily and generously aided us in
our plans.
The subscription taken up a year
ago will, when fully collected, be sui
feent to renew our Newspaper and
Magazine list for another year.
Our Town Council, a year ago,
granted us a levy, which, with the
payment of the June taxes, will give
us something more than $500. They
have just now granted US a levy
double that of last year. In view of
the desire expressed, and we believe
generally felt, that the Library
should be opened as soon as posi-
bic, the Board has resolved to pur-
chase books, anticipating in part
the levy for next year. It is true
that our beginning will be small, but
with care in the selection of books it
can be made a very useful and re-
spectacle beginning.
And now that our Public Library
is an assured thing, as much so as any
other of our educational institutions,
we feel that such Of our public-spir-
tied citizens, as. have been blessed
with wealth, have the opportunity to
do a service which will be an honor
and a blessing to our town. If, in
in addition to what the Board will
undertake to do, the Library were
enlarged to the extent of an alcove,
or part of an alcove, filed with new
and useful books, we are sure the
public will heartily appreciate such a
gift, or gifts, and will tenderly re-
member the givers. And if any
would prefer to place a sum of money,
or annuity, at the disposal of the
Board, we viii study touse it wisely.
By the BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

Marshall Tp.

Business Of all kinds dull.
Crop prospects rather discouraging. The
frosts, continued wet and cool weather,
have delayed corn planting very much, and
caused a good deal of anxiety about the
corn that was planted before.
The unfavorable prospect for a wheat
crop, owing to the ravages Of the fly, and
in some localities, rust, also has tendency
to discourage the farmers.
Oats and meadows doing well.
Arrangements are in progress for a revi-
val of the Temperance work in this tp.
which has grown somewhat lukewarm. At
least there has not been as much interest
taken in 1t for the last few months as Its i'm
portance demands. Notwithstanding all
this, we doubt whether there is a township
in the county that can show better results
than ours, in proportion to the number who
have taken and most sacredly kept the
pledge.

The MoOr0-Tr0nt Difficulty.
Moore Lttemptg to sboot Trent
But is Fortunately Prevent
ed.

W. A. Trent, who shot Dr. Moore
at Taylorsville, few weeks ago, was
released from Jail last Thursday on
5000 bail, his father-in-law, DR.. NJ.
Holmes, of Leesburg, and DR.. Enos
Holmes, of this place, going on his
bond.
His family still being at Taylors-
vile and having some business in
that vicinity, Trent started for that
place on foot Thursday, He reach
ed the house of VIM. Sonner, about
mile this side of TaylorsvilIe, in
the evening, when he was informed
that Moore bad threatened to kill
him If he ever came into the village
again. Trent said that he must go
to TaylorsVille, and although he was
unarmed, be went on his way. When
near the school house, he overlook a
a couple of his neighbors, with whom
be walked into Taylorsville, and
stopped at the residence of Squire
Purdy, near DR.. Moore's Office. He
had been there but few moments,
when little girl in the house began
screaming, and said that DR.. Moore
WAS coming in there with a pistol.
Purdy pushed Trent up the stair
way and told him TO remain there,
and he would attend to Moore. He
then stepped to the door, where he
was met by Moore and several Of his
friends, and asked them what was
wanting. Moore replied that he
wanted to shoot Trent Tut Squire
Purdy refused him admission to the
house. He then accused the Squire Of
harboring an assassin and demanded
that Trent be turned out SO he could |
get a shot at him, which was also
refused. Moore remained in the Vi
cinity of the house, until. a late hour
that night, and it was not until 1
o'clock in the morning that Trent
had an opportunity to escape by a !
back door, and made his way to
arriving here about six
o'clock in the morning.
He Immediately apprised his attor
neys of the difficulty, but by their
advice no legal steps were taken
against Moore.
The above is Trent's statement of
the facts, which is confirmed by
other parties. Trent does not seem
to be alarmedat the threats of Moore,
and says be has business at Taylors-
vile, and will again visit that place
when it is necessary. He also says
that if tie difficulty could be settled in
no other way, he was willing to meet
Moore on open ground, armed with
the same weapons, and settle it in
that manner.
