room on the first floor Of the Clemens
House, on 4th street. II is 40 "odd" that
the town authorities have such an antipa.
thy TO billiards and persstenuy refuse To
license hotel keepers and others to keep
public tables. The game Of billiards il
Just a. harmless a. croquet and IL no more
Of gambling game, while Il is one very
much enjoyed by many gentlemen who
have leisure hour TO spend and who do
not care TO 70 10 the expense Of private
table.
For some time past many Danville
men and boys have been popping away
with target guns at English sparrows and
other objects on the public streets and 9th
err places, and many predictions have been
made that something serious would result
from such carelessness, and sure enough
on Tuesday evening Ed. Flanagan shot
Bland johnson in the neck with % car
fridge from one Of these "vile guns" The
shooting was accidental, but the hurting
was all the same M though IL had been
premeditated. Dr.. J. G. Boyle probed for
the ball but was unable to find IL.
Hon. A. q. Talbot, democratic nomi-
nee for representative in the next Legisla-
ture, has no opposition up the present time
and IL il thought will have none. lie is
the candidate Of the Boyle county democ-
racy, and II elected will legislate for the
whole people, and not for any faction in or
out Of his party. His friends believing
this, will give him a united support and
his opponents knowing their man, will be
careful how they risk one of their number
to almost certain defeat. Many Of those
who regard his election sure, are already
discussing the propriety Of placing him in
the Speakers chair, and others mention
him enthusiastically a. a suitable successor
to Gen. John $. Williams in the United
States Senate. Mr.. Talbott's ability and
varied experience in public affairs emf.
nently fit him for any position to which he
may be called.
