HE FAYETTEVILLE WATER-wORKs.
No subject OF a local character is at
tracing more attention than the ques-
ton OF the water supply of Fayetteville.
The wateris the purest that we know of
anywhere, and every effort should be
made to keep the works in good order.
hat d full supply may be furnished to
the public.
1t is only just that the owners Of the
property should have fair compensa-
ton for the expense to which they have
been subjected, and no one should COM
plain ut a reasonable assessment in pro-
portion to the quantity Of water used.
The Water-rates should really be col
1ected by taxation; but, as that is i'm
practicable for the present, the public
should be willing topaY reasonably for
their water privileges, and should re-
ceive in return a pure and abundant
supply.
There is, however, one serious diff
Guilty in the present arrangement which
is causing very general cOnplaint-the
trouble caused our country friends who
come to Fayetteville day by day to
trade. They reach here in many in
stances atnight, find all the pumpslock-
ed, and are unable to relieve their own
wants and the wants of their suffering
stock. This evil must be remedied in
ONE Way-if taxation is not practical
bic, by such a general Willingness to Iay
equitable rates (Which should be as low
as E~Ossible) as will obviate the necessi-
ty Of locking the pumps.

The COMPETITIVE DRILL.-On Monday
night Williams Hall was crowded with a
large assemblage Of all the good people of
Fayetteville to witness the competitive drill
of the company At8:25 Maj. 4. A. McKethan
ordered the drum beaten, and the company
into line; when, for nearly an hour the whole
corps was subjected to a rigid drill and ex-
ercise in manual Of arms.
After the company drill the command was
divided into platoons, when the same severe
discipline was carried on, and, at last the
drill became a squad contest Of Skill and
perfection in mechanical manceuyer. The
Judges were all skilled officers and tacticians:
Col. Chas. Haigh, Maj. Wright Huske, Capt.
A. B. Williams. Even then, with a qUintettc
of good and true men, it was impossible to
decide: an;l, at the last the names
of the contestants were placed in a hat, and
Miss - Haigh <wlo was very careful to
explain that she couldn't read pen w~riting)
drew the name otSergt J. ". Maultsby. The
prize was then presented by Nj. J. II. My
rover, in a few remarks. The compan then
filed off the door and the Major Comman-
dant gave permission for the dance.
THE BALI
was, in the large number participating,
the beauty If the costumes, and the Gle
gance and brilliancy Of the scene, a fitting
finale to the interesting entertainment
which preceded it. The dancing was
continued with animation until / so a. N.
The independents drill was very cred
liable. At Philadelphia We saw the corps
excel the high standard Of the other night
and it Is much to their honor that in 50
contracted a space, there was no furry OF
awkwarlncss displayed.
Sergt. J. w. Naultsby may we'll feel proud
of the prize he has won-both from its IL
trinsic value. and from the honor conferred
in his selection as best drilled member OF
the company.

The disease is now fully under con-

prevent its spreading.
The quarantine on the railroad is

true facts and report every case. w
again assure the people that there
no danger in coming to town as tn
pest house is located outside. of tn
city limits and that is only one sporad
ic case in it.

THE SMALLPOX.

The third weeks report in regard
to the smallpox, shows two new
cases and two deaths. The negro
boy Charley Edwards who came in on
the train from Henderson March 9th,
died on the night of the 18th. He was
taken outside of the city limits. to
vacant house beyond the fair grounds
and il will be remembered that the
house was burned down night or
two afterwards while his guard John
Boalcs was asleep and that Edwards
was gotten out just as the roof fell in.
He was put in another cabin near by
and Peter Simpson, a competent nurse,
put with him, but he continued to
grow worse until Saturday night
when he died. This was the second
death, both cases being imported from
Evansville. The house where Ed
wards died is outside ofthe city and
is now used as pest house. 1t was
to be hoped that there would be no
other cases to report but a case was
developed in the city last Saturday
morning, being the first local case.
1t will be remembered that the boy
Lee Stoner, who was the first to die
with the disease, was taken to the cab

he died week later.
There were number Of persons in
the cabin at the time. All but two

MURDER AT: BEVERLY.
Ben cayoe Kills Peter Hardy.

1t has often been remarked that
Circuit Court never meets in Chris
tian county, without somebody being
murdered while it is in session. We
have noticed this for several years
and it is. an exceptional case when
court meets and adjourns without a
murder in the county. This term
the usual programme has been car
ried out, the victim being q, colored
man named Peter Hardy, and the
slayer being another negro named
Ben Cayce.
On last Saturday night, the 18th, a
frolic was given at the residence OF
Mrs. Carter, near Beverly, about six
miles from town. Among the dar-
kies present were Pete Hardy and
Ben Caycc. The former lived at
Esq. I. II. Majors and the latter at
Mr.. Geo. Cayce's. The two got into
an alteration about woman and had
some hot words. One word brought
on another until Cayce called Hardy
s-n of b.. Hardy went up to
him and was arguing with him and
trying to make him take 1t back,
when Cayce drew a pistol and shot
him in tile breast, killing him almost
instantly. Hardy was unarmed and
Cayce's action can be regarded only
as brutal murder, as his victim
was making no demonstrations O
violence.
! An inquest was held Sunday anc
the jury simply returned verdic
that the deceased came to his dealt
from pistol shot fired by Ben Cayce
Cayce came to town Sunday morning
and was promptly arrested by Police
men Biggerstafi'and Wellington ant
taken to Jail. The grand jury, whicl
is in session, will act upon his case a
once. The outlook for him is gloom,
in the light of the facts now at hand
Both Hardy and Cayce were bi
strapping fellows about 80 years old
Hardy leaves wife and three snal
children. Cayce win probably b
held without bail until the next teri
: of court.
