WARNING WOMEN.
A Fair Milliner Of Bunceton
Who Exhibited her Mus
Gle at the Depot,
SnatchinR Bald-Headed q Female
Whom She Thought Had
Played Her q Joke.

Bunceton, i'm Cooper county, has had its
sensation, and as Is the case nine times
out of ten, lovely woman takes a promi-
nent part. The trouble originated during
holiday week, when the residents of the
little village were enjoying their Christ
mas tree festivities, but did not eliminate
until the latter part of the week just
closed.
Among the residents of the village is a
milliner fair, named Miss Greenlease. She
is not as young as she used to be, still her
chances of capturing husband are by no
lady named Miss Floyd, somewhat the
junior of Miss Greenlease, hence her
chances for marrying were considered
lease.
On the evening on which the Christmas
tree celebration occurred both of the la
dies above referred to were in attendance,
and among the presents distributed was a
doll baby TO Miss Greenlease. This, nat
urally enough, insulted the lady. She
supposed that Miss Floyd had placed the
babe OH the tree for the purpose of play
ing practical joke, consequently did not
relish it in the least. She was mis-
taken, however, in her surmise, for
Miss Floyd was perfectly innocent of
the charge. A well-known young man
of the village was the guilty party. but he
kept his secret we'll.
Since that date Miss Greenlease has en-
tertained an i'll feeling toward Miss FLOYD,
and an open rupture occurred when both
ladies met at the depot in Bunceton last
week. Miss Greenlease accused Miss FLOYD
OF playing the unappreciated joke. OF
course she denied the charge. Hot words
followed, when Miss Greenlease, unable to
control her temper, attacked Miss Floyd,
and for time the excitement was great.
A gentleman who was standing near
thought to put an end to the hostilities, SO,
acting on the scriptural injunction that
BLESSED are the peacemakers," he under.
took to separate the thoroughly angered
women. He made the break, and then
wished he had acted differently; for Miss
Greenlease gave Miss Floyd breathing
spell by turning her attention to the peace
maker, and he was compelled to beat a
hasty retreat.
The affair was finally Quoted, however,
and the three contestants took their de-
parture, somewhat dis6gured, but still In
the ring"-all but the gentleman, who de-
clares that he has retired for all time to
come.

Seekers After Health.

Unf0rtunates who are seeking to renew
their health are many. So often have
they been deceived BY the advertisements
of worthless compounds, that many are
discouraged, and refuse to believe anything
they read in the papers. Therefore, the
best advertisement of q really good medi-
cine is the reputation it has gained in
places where it is being sold. No other
remedy ever discovered has grown so rap
idly in public favor as that true medicinal
tonic called Browns Iron Bitters. In 10
calities where its extraordinary merits
have been fully known and realized by
those who have been in ill-health, the
sale is unprecedented. One druggist in our
city reports the sale of 23S bottles in one
week. 1t is, indeed, q wonderful, health
giving, life-saving prerars,ion. 1t is
soothing and refreshing in its effect, and
strengthens every part of the body, and
creates healthy appetite and digestion,
even when the system is almost destroyed
by the many hurtful cathartics so COM
monty used. Reader, bewarel duty de-
maDds that you try Browns Iron Bitters,
if your health is poor from any cause

Romantic Marriage at the Work

Chance.

Married-This morning at the Working
Woman's Home, by Rev. Shackleford, of
the NJ. E. church south, Mr.. David Stark
ey, from near Dresden, and Mrs. Anna
Madagan, of Tennessee.
This bare announcement of an every day
ceremony has little romance connected
with il which the BAzoO romancer takes
pleasure in writing up. Mr.. Starkey is .
well TODD farmer, but has been "baching"
it for several months, his only single
daughter, who was his housekeeper, having
died last fall. Though q man sixty-eight
years of age, he found that blowing was

He tried to cook, but he found it difficult
to boil the bread and bake the coffee. His
potatoes always tasted gritty and the meat
wouldn't crack in tin cup. At bed making
he put the sheets on top and
hung the pillows on the post. His woes
were many, and he determined to get that
necessary relief in the shape of woman.
Then he turned to the Working Woman's
Home for help. Several charming Wild
ows we're introduced to him, but rs they
were encountered" he shook his head and
declined with thanks.
One day, about three weeks ago, he FIRST

only fifty years, and is q royal house.

PILOT GROVE POINTS.
Happenings in the Village During
the Past Week.

The little child of Mr.. Scholtzhauer
who was reported by the county papers az
fatally burned, was not seriously injured,
and has since recovered.
We desire to say to the young ladies
Of this community that there is no excuse
for marrying widowers, when there is such
handsome bachelors as Bob Boggs, Waldo
Williams and Bob Magruder, who are only
waiting for proposals. Mark-um what
We say, ladies. Give the widowers the &.
b., and turn your attention to the above
named gentlemen.
Mr.. James Everhart, mentioned in a
former article as terpsichOrean artist,
met his friend and pupil, George Zeller, in
BoOnville, recently. George was so infat-
uated with his friends Pilot Grove per-
Torrance that he insisted on having it du-
plicated. The request was complied with,
and George and Jim Joined heartily In a
street dance, after which they took drink
p and parted to meet no more.
Cupid has been cutting some strange
freaks of late. Last week We announced
the marriage of gentleman who "has
grown up children" This week we have
a similar announcement to make. Mr..
Markham, citizen of Oregon, but for the
past two months sojourning at this place,
was married to Miss Lizzie Burger, of
Pleasant Green, on Tuesday last, in Browns
Vile. The happy couple returned on
Thursday and were rendered a charivari,
which, for righteousness, was an improve
ment on the one of the previous week.
The happy groom handed out "the little
brown Jug" and after the captains had
each taken hearty drink, some miserable
thief stole the jug and ran away.
Rev. Miss Miller has been holding a
serious of meetings at Weslia chapel, stu
ated one mile from town. The novelty of
q female preacher drew crowd. Most
married men are familiar with sermons and
lectures delivered by women, but not on
gospel themes. Miss Miller is a bru-
netts of medium size, and sharp
features dresses very plainly, wesrns no
ornaments and breaches with her bonnet
ON. She is very rapid, fluent talker, apt
in illustration, correct in pronunciation
and exact in gestures. There is an earnest
ness about her manner that gives to her
words force and eloquence. Miss Miller
has been in the ministry ten years, por-
ton of which time has been spent in New
York City.

Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Some years ago Gen. Butler, in defend
ing man named OBrien for marder,
startled the prosecuting officers, the men,
bers of the bar, as we'll as the court, with
the statement that legal execution had
never taken place in the district, and If his
client had to be hanged he would insist that
the full letter of the law be complied with,
and that he be hanged in chains, The law
here in regard to capital punishment is the
Maryland law, which came from the old
English law. and provides that hangiDgs
shall be done in chains, and not by the
rope.
President Grant having commuted the
sentence of OBrien to imprisonment
for life, there was no necessity for Gen.
Butler to press his point. He has since
been anxious to argue the question. and, it
is said, he suggested to Scoville that If Ae
raises it he will argue it. He will main
tain that no other execution can under
any circumstances be legal, notwithstand-
ing the fact that custom has countenance2
the use Of the rope. The point was never
raised before in this district though quite
q number Of lawyers announced at the
time Gen. Butler raised it, their opinion
that it was good one. 1t is not known
