Jack Benson assaulted James Mad
dox with an ax-handle last week, bruis-
ing him up considerably. Benson was
in limbo not long since for whipping his
wife, and Maddox was a prominent wit
ness against him, which caused spirit
of revenge to rankle i'm the breast of
Benson, not to be appeased until he
could handle him a little. The AK
handle was an old-fashioned straight
one, but when Benson got through, it
had been changed to n yankee handle.
Many persons act very ridiculously,
violating law, order, morality and de-

When caught up with, they rush at once
Tor have some one to go for them,) to
the newspaper office to suppress any
publicity of the matter. We now give
warning that no such requests will be
needed at this office. If a man will so
forget himself, his manhood, his duty to
family and country, las to act outrageously
then the public should be advised of such
an one, and be warned against him, and
hereafter, we intend TO do it.

Mr.. John Ragland, 'of the Rosine
precinct, is building fine frame barn
on his place los by 90 feet, for stock,
grain, tobacco and farming implements.
Sensible man. Farming implements
will last 100 per cent. longer by being
kept out of the weather when not in
Use. Good, warm, dry quarters for

feed, and grain is preserved and cared
for better, and is not subject to waste
when properly housed; while tobacco
should always be properly protected
from severe winds and beating rains.
Mr.. Ragland will soon save enough to
pay the cost of erecting his barn. How
many of our farmers will follow suit?
