Wanted the Editor to Retract.

CINCINNATI, Sept 29.-There was lively
time in the editorial rooms of The Evening
Post Saturday morning. AT 10 o'clock Henry
Van Martels, brother of the late police judge,
entered the office and demanded that j. II.
Ridenour, the managing editor, apologize for
an article which appeared in Tuesdays Post
severely rejecting, by implication, on the dead
magistrate. Ridenor refused to apologize.
Won Martels, laboring under intense excite
ment, wrote note in which he intimated
that he had come to kill Ridenour. As Rid
enour read the note Won Martels drew
whip, but before he could strike more than
one blow the editorial force sprang at him.
He ran down stairs, drawing a revolver as he
ran, but was intercepted by McRea, of The
Post, and landed at the station house. He
was released on $500 bail. Won Martels
seeming intent was murder.

False Report of an Accident-What
ReallyEDid Occur.
ERIE, Pa. Sept 29.-The special reports
sent out from Erie Friday saying that
twenty persons had been killed by the fall
ing of the grand stand are wholly false.
Late Friday afternoon guy supporting the
framework of balloon being sent up from
the grounds of the Erie county fair fell,
crushing the skull of Samuel G. Pherrin
farmer living within the limits of this city,
killing him instantly. 1t also struck James
Wadsworth, farmer of Girard, Pa, on the
head, injuring him seriously, but not fatally.
W. P. Edwards, secretary of the agricultural
society, had some teeth knocked out and his
face dis6gured. The accident was caused by
the cutting of guy ropes by some unknown
person. All subsequent attractions of the
fair were declared off. Pherrin was 40 years
old. He leaves wife and large family.

and over 800 wooden buildings, involving an
expenditure of over 81 100000.

The weather has been more IA
vorable for the past few days and
the farmers are pushing their work
bravely on.
1t appears to an outsider that
masonry is nearly on a boom in
this section. Several of our best
citizens, who have heretofore stood
aloof, are becoming members of
the institution.
Mr.. Mark Holloman, now of
Terrell, but for a long time cit1-
zen of this place, was here Satur-
day on visit. His many friends
will be pleased to learn that he is
looking remarkably well.
There are three bachelor mer-

doctrine that "it is not good Cor

1t is generally conceded, now,
that oats sown since Christmas are
not much injured by the cold
The farmers are sowing literally
of oats, Notwithstanding the fact
that they have on hand bounti-
full supply of corn,-correct.
Rev. J. R. Ware, of Columbus,
has been appointed to take charge
of this circuit. We have not yet
had the pleasure of hearing him
preach. He is an earnest, faith
full worker and we wish him much
success.
Mr.. Joe Dismuke must take the
belt as turkey hunter. Last
week he brought down five at one
shot. Once before he killed three
at shot. If he continues to i'm
prove he will have to stop his
team from the pillow to get his
game home.
The young people had a pleas
ant social gathering at Maj. Walk
ers last Thursday evening, and an
other at DIR. W. c. Alston's on
Friday evening, Miss Mamie Co.
lev and others furnished delight
full music on the piano on both
occasions.
Weston was treated to rope
walking exhibition last Saturday
evening and a slight-of-hand ex-
hibition at night by Prof. Hucka-
by. The Professor played some
amusing tricks of legerdemain. He
also gave us some wonderful exhi-
billions of. ventriloquism. His
power of mimicry is truly as
tonishing.
Mr.. J. NJ. Edwards, Jr., has been
spending day or two with his
friends here. He will begin to
canvass Terrell county Monday,
taking subscriptions for some val
liable books. Mr.. Edwards has a
host of friends in this section who
will be pleased to hear Of his favora-
BILE reception by the people OF your
county. We can assure the good
people of Terrell that he is true
gentleman and strictly honest In
all his dealings.

1t is not generally known, per-
haps, that DIR. G. A. Cheatham, of
this city. has patented forty-eight
different kinds Of family medicines
within the past few years. In
these medicines, the Doctor has
the basis of an almost illimitable
fortune. Properly advertised,
there is no telling, indeed, what
they may not yield. Already, DR..
Cheatham has been offered
$4,000 in cash for a one-half in
terest in these medicines, and we
doubt not that he acted wisely in
declining the offer. The Doctor
is now engaged, every day, in
compromising and filling thou
sands of bottles, for all of which he
expects to find ready sale.

In company with Mr.. Geo. P.

with pleasure we note the advance
ment of Terrell over Lee thus far
in the preparing Of lands.

Mr.. Mulholland, living on the
McC arthy place this year, made a
narrow escape a few days ago.
In company with his aged mother
he was crossing Wilburns Bridge
and finding it in bad condition
concluded to walk and lead the
horse. Just as they passed over the
first half of the bridge they heard
a breaking, cracking noise and
turned to see it falling and with
rock and swing strike the current
below ruin, and a sad monument
to public neglect. Mr.. Mulhol-
land thinks if they had have kept
their seats instead of leading, as
they did, they would have gone
down with the wreck.
Rev. Mr.. Green, pastor of the
M. E. Church here, assisted by
Rev. Mcpherson, of the Texas CON
ference, conducted services at
Bronwood Chapel on Sunday last.
The closing remarks of Rev. Nc
Pherson in bidding farewell to his
congregation was sad and impress
sive. The invitation to those who
would strive to meet him "beyond
this life" was a beautiful feature
of the evenings exercise, for
among those who gave him their
hand, perhaps for the last time
in this life, was an aged mother, a
found sister and brother and COM
panions who, l dare say called at
the hour the friendship of their
youth, and remembered the beard
less boy of the ground, and
| earnestly thought of life and life's
changes as they gave to this pious
man their hand under this solemn
call. The prayers of the commun-
ity were asked for his safe return
to his charge where his welcome
will dispel the sadness Of the par
ting hour with us at "Bronwood
Chapel"
