mistake, and the irate mar left.
Pretty soon a gentleman from the
rural districts came in to give the ed
itor a big squash and get a notice, and
a boy in his room told him that the
boss wanted help. The man Of war
was quick to respond, and, dashing
into the chiefs room and seeing the
latter in a somewhat disordered
conditiOn-the result of his previous
visit-he thought the countryman was
the cause Of it, and clinched him;
and, after staving up some furniture,
ran the victim across the street to
where an empty hearse was standing
in front Of an u~ndertaker's shop.
Into the vehicle he jumped the far
mer and shut the door. The oommo-
ton he had created scared the horses
attached to the hearse, and they
started off on a dead run. People
soon noticed the runaway and ran
after it, and were shocked at beholding
the hearse collide with the post and
became a complete wreck; and their
horror at seeing o human body precip-
itated to the sidewalk, was only
equaled by their amazement at seeing
it spring nimbly to its feet and take
off across the country yelling murder.
They thought it was an attempt to
bury a man alive, and part Of them
went to get the undertaken to lynch
him; while the rest pursued the far
mer, who was found hiding in a
swamp. And after he was brought in
il took over three hours to get matters
explained, and then the farmer Went
before a justice Of the peace and made
affidavit that he hoped to be struck
by lightning if he ever entered a news
naner office again.

autumn leaves, written by a lady
whose success in the preservation Of
such leaves has given her quite a local

idea that forests are needed to bright

bell four or Eve times, trying to get q
crowd, they succeeded in getting the low
tax men in TO see what they would do. |
They nominated L. ID. Hancock for sena- |
tor, and james d. Richardson for repre-
sentative. The crowd seemed pleased By
their nomination. But, OH 10 think that
they cannot be elected Unless there's a
revolution in old Rutherford county, Tor
they are strong here for low take. you
bet, and intend TO support Wilson fol
governor, B. ]. Alexander for senator,
and w. R. Jones Cor representative.
After everything was nearly over, they
scattered some pamphlets containing the
record of S. F. Wilson. The man that
brought them in had better stay away
from the country, as he will fine himself
in a hornets. But the crowd did not
seem to take them, as they know Wilson
is all right.
When will they get through harping on
the dog ssx2 think it is time for them
to let tie poor dog alone, and find some
thing better to do. Col w X. Patterson
told them 10 60 home aud pay their hon
