THE CODE IN GALLOWAY.
A Hitherto rnwriiten Story Of q
NH8 Legal Difficulty. III Z
fPaiucah News.

At the late session Of the Circuit
Court IN Murray two lawyers, the
one from Benton and the other from
May6cld, became involved in a little
difficulty over practical joke, which
resulted in the challenging of Benton
by Mayfcld, The challenge was ac-
ccpted by Benton, who is fond of a
Joke, with the distinct understanding
that the Sheriff should be on hand to
stop the battle before it got nncom-
fortably warm. The respective see
onds met and selected carving knives
about two feet long and sharp as
razors as the weapons, and secluded
spot North ofMurray as the place.
The principals and seconds, with a
surgeon. were on hand at the time ap-
poihtcd, but no Sheriff was in sight.
The two chiefs were stripped to the
waist, the formidable weapons placed
in their hands, six PAGES measured of,
the duelists stationed and everything
was ready the signalsat which
they were to rush upon each other,
The Mayfield man, who meant bust
ness, was white as a sheet, but deter
mined. To the Benton man, however
the situation was not tno enchanting.
He had no desire for the gore of his
opponent and entertained serious OBJ
jections to his opponent shedding his.
II Is doubtful fthcrc were four worse
scared men in the Purchase than the
two seconds, doctor and the Marshall
county lawyer. Mayfcld's champion
demanded the word, brandishing
high his huge cheesc-knife in the air
bur the saccursed Sheriff and posse
failed to materialize. Just as the
whole party were contemplating q
simultaneous rush upon the belligcr'
cnt Mayhelder for the purpose of dis
arming him.. the belated officer and
his companions rushed out Of thu
bushes and took the whole outfit into
custody. The iokers drew LONG
breath again with shortened yisages
which suddenly dropped once more
when the Sheriff declared the arrcs
was no joke but in dead earnest ant
produced the proper documents t
:. base his assertion. Here was a devi
of prcdicamcnt, made 'worsc b.
: Mayfleld's declaration, when he dis
covered the imposition that had beef
practiccd upon him, that he intende'
to immediate the whole party. Tn
affair, however, was finally fixed Vi
after good deal of explaining b.
friends and no end of trouble. TIL

ferred the letters to the BentoniaI
Then there was mounting in ht

Z up the road after the former indivif
ual. He was at last oyertaken, tf

The Young Man Who Showed OF.

The other day young man ABOUT
twenty years Of age, accompanied by
girl two or three years younger,
reached the city by a Bay City train,
and after looking around for a few
hours returned to the depot and
bought some sandwiches for lunch.
The fellow was heard Dragging a
good deal as to what he had done and
could do and cities he had visited,
and by and by he walked up to the
depot policeman and banded him
four flve-cent cigars and said:
That's my girl in there.
Yes.
She just thinks her eyes of me.
So?
"Tvc never had chance to show
her how I'd die for her if necessary,
and 1t seems. to me we might put up
u little job right here. NJ
How?
Well, suppose me and her walk out
to see the river. / leave her for a
moment. Some chap comes along
and begins to chin her. l rush back
and knock him into the middle of
next week. She'd want to marry me
me within a week. Girls of her age
just dote ON heroes, you know. I
Yes, they do.
Well, you help me, You pick out
some chap around here aud tell him
what I'm up TO, and | won't mind
standing treat for all hands. When
rush in on him he'd better run.
Five minutes later the girl stood
on the wharf alone. A fellow big
enough to pitch barrel of flour oyer
a freight car approached in careless
way and observed: afae

the big man raised his cap to tn
girl, smiled sweetly as he bowed an'
scrapcd his foot, and he was out o
sight before the young man recover

WASHINGTON, d. c., July %. 1883.
The old saying that the fourth of
July is the hottest day Of the year
was pretty well verified here this
year. 1t was blazing hot, and every
body who could get out of town did
so. Those who could not sought the
friendly shade of trees and roofs and
laid in a goodly supply of ice. This
state of weather was in decided con-
trast with that Of last year, when, by
a singular freak of Vennor or the
weather bureau, Overcoats were
brought into requirement late in the
day. But in spite of tho present hot
weather politicians are turning M
here every day and the political poi
boils vigorously. The Speakershil
race is attracting attention of late

Oats and Peas

0r r'.n .s ra..a.
Two years ago | sowcd and har.
ycatcd some 4 acres Of oats, cut for
hay in the milk, Which yielded =
large wagon loads OF splendid hay,
but not having the means Of weigh.
ing, cannot say how many tons they
were but We estimated as near as we
could after the NOW settled at 20
tons. This hay was led 10 milk cows
and to horses. Il was eaten with
avidity and the COWS yielded largely
or good rich milk, and that with only
quarts Of corn chop daily to each,
Last year | pIowed up a heavy
run-out sod, manured it with 6 large
wagon loads Of rich manure lmade
from fattening cattle per acre, har.
rowcd and cross.harrowed it, and
made it very nice and mellow. !
then sowed ! bushels OF Canada
field peas per acre, shovelcd it in
and then narrowed It level. then
drilled ( bushels Of oats and using
800 pounds of blood and bone per
acre. The ground was then rolled.
The crop was put in the last week in
April and the piece was not quite 3
acres.
The yield was very heavy and it
was n source Of amazement to every
one who saw It. 1t was fed green TO
cows, to hogs, and in the greatest
abundance. Before the oats we're out
of the milk IL was cut and cured as
hay, and this winter by having it, |
was enabled to sell some ten tons of
hay more than could have spared
without it.
My oats and peas are now up and
growing finely, but it is not too late
to SOW. If you want an abundance
of good feed, either green or dry, try
an acre or two. Put the ground in
good order, make it rich and put on
plenty of seed and you will be de-
lighted with the yield. Your stock
will thrive upon It wonderfully and

Value Of Eve Lambs.

Hrs~f,rs aarfao
The tempting prices obtainahlc for
really choice early lambs has yearly
proved a greater temptation than
many owners could resist. and the
result has been that quite a number
Of eve lambs are sacrificed at the
shambIcs, to the serious dctriment Of
flock improvement as well as ulu.
mate loss to owners Of the country.
As in a majority of instances the
sircs of these lambs are better bred
animals than are the dams, their
preservation would prove long
stride in the direction Of flock i'm
provcment, and il the owner feels
compelled TO restrict the number Of
animals handled, rigid culIiug from
the older ewes and filling their places
