-Rockcastle floats into the New Year as
gently and peaceably as though there we're
no blood stains on the pages Of her histo-
ry. After all there were but three homi-
cides in the county during 1879. II is to
hoped there will be few killings this year.
In good truth there ia nobody left worth
killing.
Accommodations, a bright little
son of NJ. c. Miller, Jr., of this place was
hooked just above the eye by COW last
Sunday evening. He. was standing near
the animal while she was feeding, and re-
ceived the injury by a sudden lifting Ct
her head. The wound is painful but not
dangerous one. Had it been inflicted
little lower il would have destroyed his
vision in one eye.
- Next Monday the Special Term of
the Rockeastie Circuit Court, called for

hoped for the good, both Of the Common
wealth and Of Mr.. Kennedy that the result
Of the approaching trial will finally deter
mine the prosecution.
Miss Lula Clay Begbie, the celebrated
elocutionist, Of Franklin, Tenn, gave a

Begbie certainly deserves the reputation
which she has won as an elocutionist. Be-
sides her professional accomplishments she
il also an intelligent, entertaining. and
agreeable young lady.
