AT the meeting Of the Young Peoples
Temperance club last evening, Miss Perce
read an interesting essay and Misses M. Rit-
tenhouse and Edith Martin sang duet.
Among other business transacted it was
decided to give lawn party on next Tues
day evening; but after the meeting ad-
ourned the committee of arrangements re-
ceived a very good offer for moonlight ex-
cursion and it is probable that this will be
| given the preference.
| Yesterday morning at eight o'clock
SHERIFF Hodges and his Deputy, Guy Morse,
started out into the woods for the purpose
of arresting two men named respectly
Henry Renfro and Manuel Gregory, who
are charged with committing an assault
with intent to kill upon the person of one
Brush in this county. They found their
men in due time and had them in the
county Jail by ten o'clock, which was rapid
work.

Some of the northern cities have had
some very sudden changes in the tempera-
ture within the last three or four days. At
| st. Paul, Dubuque, Chicago, Omaha and
other points the thermometers fell sudden
| ly from above ninety down to
from sixty seven to seventy.four,
and according to yesterdays
report as will be seen IN another column,
the temperature has again Just as suddenly
risen. Cairo has had but slight taste of
the cold wave. The consequences Of this
disturbance will probably appear soon in
the form of long mortuary columns in the
northern newspapers.
The democratic government of the
state of Geogia seems more efficient than
the republican federal government in deal
ing with the Mormon problem. The bold
stand which our government admits must
sometime be taken, but for which it has not
yet been able to muster its courage up to
the sticking point the state Of Georgia has
taken, to its honor be il said. Not only
are all Mormons excluded from living in
the state, but prose- tiers who are found
there seeking converts will be subject to
heavy penalties and summary expulsion.
Let Georgia be awarded the palm Ut honor
; tor her courage in the right direction.

l.. p. Ewad caught accident No. 9 vester-
day coming out of the Cumberland. She
caught on the point Of the bar at Ingram's
and the swift current swept her stern
around against the bank with such force
that her wheel and rudders were badly
damaged and the hull also damaged so as
to require that she be hauled out again for
repairs. Capt. w. Gracy has her in charge.
The Ewald is light enough but is too big a
boat to be hauled safely on the scant water
and narrow, crooked channels about the
shoal places now IN the Cumberland.
Even the Sam Fowler has now to be pulled
over them by hand, the men wading in the
river"
"A shooting aiTray occurred in the lum-
Der yard of the Cairo Box and Basket Fac.
tory yesterday which caused some excite
ment in the nelghborhood for a
while, but did not injure anybody.
Two men one named Morgan, the other
named Scroggins partners. They
were also drunk, and had quarreled, Nor
gan claiming that Scroggins had stolen bis
money which the latter denied. But Nor
gan persisted in the charge and demanded
its return, and, when Scroggns refused to
: disgorge, threatened to kill him.
Hercupon scroggins started away, but
