Tho best OF friends will some
times fall out and entertain harsh
and bitter feelings toward each 9TH
er. Patent medicine men attribute
as the primary cause for this uneven
ness of temper and periodical ebuh-
ton Of spirit to ,orpidi,y Of the liver,
and a consequent overflow of bile
which poisons the blood, which in
turn irritates the entire anatomy,
sours the heart and brain and all that
sort of stuff. But observation in ev-
cry day life discloses many disrup-
ton of friendly ties which may easi.
ly be traced to other and equally
potent causes. For instance: at the
last term Of the circuit court, mule
shooting case which attracted CON
siderable attention and acquired To-
cal notoriety, came up for trial, in
which two female figured as witness
es ON opposite sides, and their testi-
mony was as conflicting and wide
apart as it was possible for it to he.
OF course, each thought the Others
testimony reflected on her cha racter
for truth and veraoity, and many
and dire threats, it is said, were
made by the opposing witnesses.
Thus matters stood until few days
ago, when the aforesaid witnesses
accidentally met at the store at FL
mott landing, when the matter was
brought up for discussion in a regu-
lar business-like manner. 1t requir-
ed but few words to satisfy each
other that the little difference could
only be decided by a passage at
arms, and at it they went-rough
and tumble, catch-as-you-can style,
until 4 friendly neighbor stepped
between and separated them. The
affair is now before the j. Z. court,
and the end is not yet.

"A warrant was issued for the
arrest OF two men, who were anchor
ed at the foot Of Bulletin Bar on a
floating whiskey shop, last Tuesday.
Complaint, we understand, was made
by Hon. John b. Driver, for viola
ting the three mile law, and selling
whiskey without state and county IL
cense. Armed with warrant, Sher-
if Haskins accompanied by posse,
armed with shot guns waited on the
parties and escorted them to town.
where the machinery OF law was put
in motion and a trial entered into
before J. p. The state was repre-
sented by prosecuting attorney, w.
B. Edrington, and the defendants by
Hon. II. NJ. McVeigh, and by con
sent the charge of selling liquors
without state and county license was
admitted, and the defendants were
fined S25 each, and costs.
Like a great many, some even here
in our midst who ought to know
better, these men five did not learn
their names) rested under the belief
that inasmuch as they were provided
with a United States license they
could sell whiskey anywhere on I'm
I
cle's Sans highways, and that the
general government would protect
them from all interference by
state and county authorities. This
is a big mistake-a delusion and a
snare. The United States officials
whose duty it is to grant L. 5. IL
cense, never stop to inquire Of the
applicant if he is provided with state
or county license; and just SO with
the state and county oifcials-it is
not their business to inquire if the
applicant is provided with United
States license. The authorities of
the states and general government
act independently of each other in
the enforcement OF their claims upon
individuals; at least that's the way
we understand it. But what we
want to say, and started out to say,
is, that we are not aware of any pro-
