An old time prophet has predicted
that on next Tuesday, the 18th, the
world will come to an end. We can't
exactly make up our mind to believe
it, as the signs in the heavens do not
indicate anything of the kind. But
as there is no telling what day
may bring forth, it is well enough to
be prepared. If this worlddoes wind
up its business on the day fixed, we
trem bic when we think of the awful
fate that awaits our delinquent sub
scribers. Better call and pay up be-
fore the final day and get your re.
ceipt.
The Red men are beginning to be
brought to justice for their dastardly
deeds. Two of them were recently
convicted in Barbour county, and
sentenced to the Penitentiary for one
year, and to paya fine of $50 each.
The Writ county Jail now contains
seven or eight of these outlaws, and
it is hoped they will also find en-
ployment in the Penitentiary. 1t is
time that this organization was en-
tirely broken up.
We call the attention of the Court
House Commissioners, to the fact
that in filling up the Court House
lot they have turned the water on
the lots adjoining it on Main street,
causing the water to stand on them,
and in behalf of these lot owners,
we ask them to put in a drain so as
to carry the water of the court house
lot to tho street gutter.
The trial Of John Cain and Will
Gibbs, of Roane county, for the MUIR

Hon. D. w. Polsley, of this place, has
been retained to assist in the prose.
cution. From all we can learn the
murder was cold blooded one. and
without provocation. Whisky was
at the bottom of it.
Some roughs made Sunday night
hideous by their drunken carousels;
and not satisfied with disturbing the
peace, and desecrating the Sabbath
night by their obscene and blasphe.
nous language, they did good deal
of damage to private property. We
are told they were steamboatmen.
They ought to be hunted up and pun
ished.
Hon. Henry S. Walker, of Charles
ton, has sold his large tract Of land in
Kanawha county, TO a gentleman
from Michigan, for $4,000, so says
the Tribune. We congratulate Mr..

what is the value of Greenback
dollar, now?

has better prospects before it in the
