 Let us have a rest.
 Pope county how she bleeds.
 Another circuit court has come and gone, but we, that is to say the Doverites, still hold the post,
 Four weeks. court without 8 day being lost and sixty five or seventy old cases go over to the next term farewell Pope county.
 The Burris and Hall cases recent ly tired and convicted in the circuit court will be taken to the supreme court. Samaold song, mot for de- lay"
 Mr. Jesse Linton, the efficient keeper of the county boarding house at this place seems to be specially fortunate in keeping his boarders. The other boarding houses have lost their boarders but Jessey's are in 'creasing daily-only eleven now and SIP per day foots the bill.
 The late cracksmen, Carter, Barn cs and Barnett, of wire road notoriety, have obtained a change of venue to Johnson county. They will be de- tended by Messrs. Cunningham & Carter, which is to say that it will be ably done, but as the sheriff and his deputys of thls county are not al together considered safe to carry prisoners to another county, I do not know how they will be taken up yet. However Mir. Bently may accidently, come along again, and being an efficient officer in the business, can safely deliver them for trial.
 THE FIERY PEND
 At work again in our town and Mir. Y. B. Poynter's new house just fin ished with everything in it but the bureau and sewing machine, lies in ashes this morning. At twelve o'clock Saturday night the alarm of fire was sounded, aud everybody was promptly on hand but nothing could be done. In twenty minutes the whole building was in solid flame, and it was only by favorable breeze and heroic efforts that MT, Joe Pet tvs old store house was saved, stand ing but ten or twelve feet distant, the side was once in flame, but tue weather boarding being knocked of from the inside the building was saved. Mir. Poynter and wife had gone to Harry's to spend the night and supposed the fire started from the stove hue, though everything was thought to be perfectly safe iI that respect. He was just getting nicely fixed up for living. No insu rance.
 The long delayed and much talked of Hall murder case has been dis posed of, though it was long and costly seize. Part of the jury drew ! pay for thirteen days and the bal lance eleven. The jury stood bravely to their post and finding verdict with. credit to themselves and satis- factory to the waiting public. The trial was quite interesting and every inch of the ground was closely watched and ably represented both by the prosecution and the defence but Mack got in hls work. If the trial was slow and costly it is to be hoped some good has been done in yentilating the cause of pneumonia and the treatment used in that case to-wit: Get one gallon of rain water I.and put in fifteen drops of Rosamasa and is too strong weaken it down with Simisufuga and give one tea spoonful three times day until the fevef abates, or the patient prompt 1 ly dies, or both as the case maybe. BEsIEGED AGAIN.
 The Dover High School was thought to be in honrishing condi- tion and everything moving along smooth and lovely without either want oE.hinderanRe, but such seems not to have been the case. The young lady's have taken up tue idea that an organ would be so very nice, and in place in the scnool-room That is strange indeed knowing that organs cost money. The "idea" to them was like the Mexican's dellaI the more they rubbed it the bright CT it got. So the Prof. just commis stoned the whole delegation, and at q tune when they thought everybody would be at court they just swooped down off college hill by twos with paper and pencil in hand and in two days they filed into the school room with $69.7Aand the angel.looking beings are now dreaming in their sleep at night how the organ will look when 1t comes. If any of you have been sliglited you must not think hard of them, for God bless their lovely looks I know they did not Intentionally do so.
