night, and it was arranged and
held in the Presbyterian church.

was a large attendance and a ve-
rypleasant meeting indeed.

Last Saturday, while the II.
and Il. flag was being hoisted
at Moline. Mr.. Thos. Pitts, who
was assisting, in playful mood
jerked an apple from a little
boy and bit piece off. While
laughing he threw his head back
and the apple passed into the
wind pipe and almost caused his
death. For several hours he was
unconscious, and at one time life
was thought to be extinct. But
by skillful medical aid the APP
pie was extracted, and at last
accounts Mr.. Pitts was doing
very well.

Last Monday evening about &
O'clock, a young man apparently
about twenty-one years of. eye,
giving his name as III. r. Gray,
stepped into j. A. Lumpkin's
store and presented an order
from Mr.. JAS. Patterson, of
Blanche, with which he purchas-
| ed goods to the extent of $34, and
then left. the store. Mr.. Good
rich, with whom he traded, sus-
pecting something wrong, sent
to the McElroy House to inquire
if Mr.. Ii. r. Gray was stopping
there, when it was learned that
he had registered as CIV. Smith.
When closely questioned he ac-
knowledged that he had forged
the order. Policeman Sam Hill
was then called in and Mr.. Gray
alias Smith was required to a
gain adorn- himself in his old
garb and repair to the recorders
office, where the proper papers
were drawn up, and he was ta-
ken and inquired to register at
Sheriff Hollands boarding house
as ii, r. Gray alias q. w.
Smith.
lie came to town Monday
with the intention of going on
the excursion Tuesday morning
to Arkansas, where he expected
to live i'm future; but after ma
ture reflection concluded to set
