Weather cool, with an occasional
shower, with now and then a man slain
in order TO give vim to this moral part
Of the vineyard. Mitt Tanner, a son of
Harvey Tanner, was killed last week by
a man named Abner. Tanner and
Abner met at a Mr.. Waltrip's where
some parties were threshing wheat.
After some threats by Tanner, Abner
went off, and in short time came back
with a musket. Tanner got behind a
wheat-shOck and intended from the ev-
idence,) to use his knife upon Abner
when he come up. But Abner, appre-
hending danger, brought his gun down
and fired, the contents passing i'm and
through Tanners head and shoulders
and down the back. Abner then clubbed
his gun and struck Tanner ON the head,
mashing in the bones, forcing the eye
ball out on the cheek, supposing that he
had missed his aim, as the shot did not
knock Tanner down. Abner was tried
and acquitted, proving to the satisfae-
ton of the court that the killing was i'm
self-defense.
"JAIL BIRD"
Matt Adams, the negress that stabbed
DIR. Linthicum some time ago, came
very near getting out again. She had
cut n hole through her cell and was very
near through the outer wall when de
tected. Better put her in a rail pen.
The authorities have taken her to Hem
dersOn for safe keeping.
CUT AND BRUISED BY A THREsHER-
Mr.. Handley Baird, Jr., while trying
to unchOke machine in rapid motion,
lost his footing and slipped in the eylin-
der, which tore his feet up very badly
and otherwise bruising him. DIR. Car
penter says he Is getting ON slowly.
MIR. Manker lost his WIFE since his
removal here, and ON last night, 22d
instant, he came home, and while Esq.
jackson was sleeping and all Glennville
in quiet repOse, Manker took possession
Of his "grip-saek," bowed to fate, shut
one eye on the last quart of "Red Eye"
put his shoes on hind part before and Lit
out, singing his midnight carol:
"WhOse gwine to shoe desc purity little
foot" leaving behind an indebtedness
of or 10 dollars, little babe, J pint of
ingerns, three watermelon vines, &c.
"U. y. Quire" thinks that the Hon.
X. p. Hooker never ran against Mr..
Bennett. That's a fact. Mr.. Hooker,
did you know ii? What perfect simple
tons we are to be sure. Oh, In, II DEM
Oerats do their duty, and / think they
will, "Little PhiP' will walk i'm with
about $50 majority. Set that down to
grieve over in your homes at leisure. i
can't vote for Mr.. Hooker, being a nom
resident; but i am close enough TO the
margin of old Ohio to do some splendid
scOtching. Why do these third parties
always spring into existence and become
so very charitable to the poor man just
ON the eve of the Presidential canvass?
and so soon as the canvass Is over this
third party dies very natural death?
Why does this third party invariably
make their fight againstthe Democratic
How many 'true blue" Democrats can
you find in the ranks Of the Greenbaek
movement? After the Republican party
gets the thing at work i'm Democratic
localities how many of them stick toit?
None of course. We have certainly
given the Republicans good chance to
show and play their hand, and they did
il to perfection, so we are satisfied that
a white man Is as good as a negro, il he
behaves well. We have some good cit
izens in the Greenbaek ranks, but you
have no chance to win. Your candi-
date for President can't make as good
time as Dick Williams can on a single
saw log up stream i'm Rough Creek when
the water Is up, 50 boys, let's all vote for
r. p. Hooker, who is qualified, gentle
man and our next Representative.
More anon, MoDoc.
p. S.-Mr. Hooker, did you know Mr..
Bennett was ON the traeks
