WeiIStou Notes.

AS TO the 1dlltic o1 Otih Cpt'o~
spondent's letter to reach you on time
last week, all he can say Is that II was
mailed at the usual time, 8 O'Clock
Monday morning, after which his
responsibility for it ceased. Suppose
Postmaster-General James reform
officials failed to expedite 1t SUI
ficiently. There was no especial ''eX-
pedition'' in taking 81 hours from
Wellston to jackson.
Whisky having gotten over its
monthly spree, Weilston has been
itself again this week. Lincoln Fur
mace was out in full force on Satur-
day before Mayor Brooks for the ii ,al
of the riot case OF Jarvis versus
Hooton & Co. 1t seems that on Sun
day of last week some personal diff
Guilty ended in the Jarvis mansion
getting rocked, as the boys have it.
The parties were duly arrested and
arraigned before his honor, Mayor
Aleshire appearing for the prosecu-
ton, and Z. B. Bingham for the de-
fense. After a patient hearing three
Of the party were held in bonds to
appear at court, and the other trav-
ersers were discharged with an admo-
milton to go and sin no more.
The case of Seth Williams versus
Jas. Cunningham, is set for this
(Monday) morning before E. B. Bing-
ham, and there is fine chance to be
fun for the boys. The charge is
assault with intent to kill, and the
circumstances substantially as follows:
Mr.. Williams is II inc boss at Eliza,
Cunningham is employed in the mine.
There existed an old grudge between
the men. On Tuesday evening a
difficulty occurred between them about
cars that ended in blows being ex-
changed. Some twenty minutes after
Cunningham walked up to Williams
and knocked him down with a heavy
lump Of bone coal. Williams was
knocked senseless and has since been
confined to his bed, although recover
ing. In the trial to-day John L.
Jones will represent the prosecution,
Mayor Aleshire the defense. Well
ston is making a fine beginning for
business for next court. Charity, q"
in last weeks Enterprise says it takes
a rigid Providence to run Wellston.
To our eyes, Providence loses its grip
occasionally.
Mrs. Susannah Bingham, an old
resident Of WeIlston, mother of POST
master,L. H. and Squire E. B. Bing-
ham, died on Wednesday morning.
and was buried ut Cotlton on TT urs-

life record she leaves behind her.
