BOdenh am.

Last Thursday evening our
community was very much shocked
by the startling report that a seri-
Gus difficulty had taken place be-
tween two of our citizens, @. w.
Davis and F. L. Fleeman, and that
it would most certainly result in
the death Of Fleeman. A great deal
of excitement prevailed throughout
the vicinity; aud it was at first
hoped that the reports would prove
to be without foundation; but it
was soon ascertained that a diff
Guilty had really occurred between
them and that Fleeman was danger
ously wounded in the neck with
knife. The knife took effect near
the back of the neck and was drawn
around across his throat, inflicting
very deep and dangerous wound.
Where the knife first took effect it
is thought to have struck the bone,
thereby checking its force so much
as to prevent it from cutting his
throat to the hollow. The wound
though dangerous is not thought to
be necessarily fatal. The fracas
took place about two miles west of
Bohemian near the homes of the
two parties. They had pre- viously
been very intimate friends. The
difficulty, so far as your co rrespon-
dent can ascertain, originated from
what Fleeman claims he meant
for joke: He in company with
his brother William Fleeman met
Davis in the road, and so far as
your correspondent knows, with no
i'll feelings toward each other, and
the above mentioned is the shock
ing result. Davis took out a states
warrant and had f. L. and William
Fleeman arrested next morning and
they will be tried before Esq. T.
A. Puryear on the 9th of this
month if F. L. Fleeman gets able
to attend trial.
Our quiet little town was dis
turbed last Friday evening by two
men from Lawrence county who
were perfectly insane. The dis
turbance was produced by them
trying to preach. Otherwise they
were harmless. Their names were
Kelly. They left here late in the
evening in the direction of Law
renee and we have not heard from
them since.
The protracted meeting at
Choat's creek closed last night.
g. w. Clark and wife of Law
renee have been visiting her father,
Esq P. A. o. Sneed, for several
days.
Mr.. S. W. Crowder left here
yesterday for his home in Gibson
county.
Clint Tacker and lady of Big
creek have been visiting relatives
in this community for the last few
days.
There was another mad dog in
the neighborhood few days ago,
but was, it is hoped, killed before
it did much damage. The dog be-
longed to John Ratliff, and had
been bitten by rabid dog.

Put a Brand on Him.

"Women are a necessary evil he said, hit
ting down his fist on the counter to empha-
size the heartless remark. 1t was in the viii
lRge store at West Milton, Saratoga county,
and the speaker was the central figure of a
group of bucholic philosophers. He was
homely, slovenly an sixty.
"There's where l differ from you alto
gether," said Mr.. George T. Graham, of the
same place. "Women are mostly what men
make 'em. Whom husbands are brutes
wives will fall into submission or make
home hot for the men; and they re unnatu-
raj in either character. Love them, and es-
pecially be good to them when they're sick,
and you'll have no trouble. There's my
own wife, now. She's suffered good deal
with dyspepsia, nervous prostration and
other ailments that took the bloom of her
cheeks and the spring out of her steps.
Well she saw an advertisement of PARKER's
Tonic, and thought 1t would be just the
thir q for her case. Gentlemen, ! sent five
miles after q bottle. She took it. | sent
again after more. So several times. Trouble?
Why, if you could see how much good 1T has
done her you would say that women are the
greatest of Gods blessings, and PABKKR's
Tonic is the next"
This preparation, which has been known
as FARKER's GNGER TONIC, will hereafter be
called simply PARKER's ToMo. This change
hes been rendered necessary by substitutes
imposed upon their customers by unprinci-
pied dealers under the name of ginger; and
as ginger is really an unimportant favorjng
ingredient, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prep
gFation itself, and all bottles remaining in
name of PARKER's GINGER Tonic contain the
genuine medicine if the fac-simile signature
ID Isoox d Co. is at the bottom of the out
side wrapper.

Death ofJudge Black.

Judge jeremiah Sullivan Black
died at his home, near York, Pa,
Sunday. He was born in the
Glades, Somerset county, Pa, June
10, 1910. He was admitted to the
bar in 1880, was appointed presid-
ing judge of the judicial district in
which he resided in April, 1912,
was selected judge Of the supreme
court of the state in 1851 and
chosen chief justice. He was re
elected in 1854. On March 5, 1857,
he was appointed by President
Buchanan attorney general of the
United States, which Office he held
till December, 1860, when he be-
came secretary of state, and con-
tlnued in that position during the
remainder of President Buchanan's
term. His record as an able law
yer, incorruptible and fearless,
needs no comment here. He was a
good man, christian man, brave
and God fearing, and his great
brain lifted him above the tumult
and the pollution of political strife.
No juster judge, no purer MAJ has
figured in American history. Ge-
NAL always as was he unique; ever
hopeful for the future of the re-
public as he was reverent of the
men of its great past; "walking the
mountain ranges of the land he
saw sunlight and peace and pros
perity in the down-lying valleys; in
different to personal preferment,
away beyond all consideration of
selfish interests, no man of his age
deserved better of his party. His
last dying words typified his life:
sob, Thou, beloved and most mer-
ciful Heavenly Father, from whom
1 had my being and in whom l
have ever trusted, if it be Thy will,
grant that my suffering end, and
that l speedily be called home to
thee; and, oh, may God bless and
comfort thee, my Mary."-C.-J.

A dude in Paris is called a

A Philadelphia dude is reported
to have died of congestion of the

Postal Revenue.

1t appears that the postal reve-
nues derived from the sale of pos
tage stamps have fallen off as the
time for the reduction of lie tier pos
tage rates approach. This indicates
that the public is making prepara-
lions for the change, and are not
adding TO outstanding stocks of
stamps, and that when the 1st of
October comes q very largely in
creased demand for the new stamps
will be the result. 1t is assumed
that the sale of postal cards next
year will be less than the fiscal year
just ended, but the decrease will be
made up in the number of stamps
sold. No provision has yet been
made for the redemption of three
cent stamps and envelopes in the
hands of postmasters. This re-
demption can only ia ke place by act
of congress. 1t is suggested that
the three-cent stamps and envelopes
can be used for double postage by
adding a one-cent stamp, and that
there will be no necessity for their
redemption, which would entail a
great amount of labor and expense
upon the department.

The Florida ship Canal.

Gov. Jno. C. Brown presided at a
meeting of the board of directors in
New York last week. Engineer
Stone submitted his report of the
preliminary survey, placing the to-
tai cost at SAC, 600, 900. 1t will he
1874 miles long and the deepest cut
will be 143 feet. The distance to be
saved is, between New York and
New Orleans, 500 miles; Liverpool
and New Orleans, Alp miles; New
York and Pensacola, 600 miles; or
a saving of about 40 hours time.
The loss from wreckage in the Flor
ida Straits is about 100000 a
year. The canal avoids the straits.
Gov. Brown in an interview stated
that the report settled the feasibil-
ity of the work and that dirt would
be broke in the next 80 days. The
survey showed much less obstruc-
tion than anticipated.

A Cincinnati Enqulrer's Indian
apolis agent mailed 500 circulars to
prominent men in Indiana and the
same number in Illinois, asking for
expressions of opinion on Tilden,
Hendricks and Mcdonald. He re-
ceived 411,answers in Indiana, 361
of which favored the old ticket, or
Hendricks first, and only 20 favored
Mcdonald. Eighty-three are for
the old ticket first and Hendricks as
second choice, while 22S favor the
old ticket with Mcdonald second.
Out of 37S answers in Illinois only
favored Mcdonald first and the
sentiment for Tilden and Hendricks
is almost unanimous. Mr.. Hen
bricks has come into robust health
again and with his revivication the
old love for him was famed afresh
and he stands again first in the
hearts of his people. Mcdonald
would have worn his mantle if he
had not donned it afresh. BY com
mon consent, or necessity, the pre-
liminary arbitrament must take
place in Indiana, with Hendricks as
the master of. ceremonies, and he
can have it himself or name the
man who shall. The evidence ac-
cumulates that Tilden's renuncia-
tion is a sham and that he is hard
at work for it. Dana wants first
place and it is possible that he got
Watterson to hire the hall for Til
den to die in.
