Monday night, as the, mail blackboard
that now plies between this city and
Lockhart was just this side OF St Elmo,
two men near the roadside ordered the
driver to stop. Judge Trigg and the
driver were on the vehicle, and few
moments before two men on horseback,
dressed upin the usual gorgeous habili-
ments OF the COW boy, passed them. A
little while after they were seen OF the
road a little distance, dismounted, and
as the blackboard was passing, and was
just about to 20 down a Hill leading to a
creek. near st. Elmo, they hailed the
driver and ordered HIM TO halt He was
driving a young mustang, and as they
had just commenced the descent Of Il
rather steep decliyity, he couldn't stop
his horse, and rs house was just ahead ,
he gave him the whip and hurried in the
direction oft. The men did not follow,
: and Judge Trigg Is not exactly satisfied
in his own mind whether they were
knights of the road or cow boys who
wanted to have little fun.

, Il seems from the following extract cut
from the Memphis -AValaaehs that the
United States Courts have had some
thing to say about taxes imposed upon
commercial travellers
"The United States Supreme Court has
recently decided state laws taxing COM
merciaI travellers to be unconstitutional.
The imposition of a tax upon the agents
OF foreign manufacturers In any one state,
Is u clear discrimination In favor of home
manufactures and against the manufac-
lures of other states.

Was he really going to shrink up and become
gradually smaller till there was nothing left of
him? What would his partners in the city say
if one morning he appeared at the office look

Mr. Nowon did not go to the city that day.
He stayed at home and moped: and on the day
following he did the same. He was shrinking
more than ever. and soon fell seriously Ill. Mrs.
Demitt nursed him, and her manner was kind

derived much comfort from her hopeful talk and
her assurances that if he became ever SO small
she would cling faithfully to him.
