Capt. ENeIl Smith and his son
were Indicted here last INV for burn
iug our Cnurl House in Oatnber 1882.
We're arrested Il few days agn in Mon.
tague c"unly, Texas, and brought
back 10 rrnne-see aud safely lodged in
the Nashville jill. IT, these men ar"
guilty ~ charged in the Indictment,
every man. woman and child in Grundy
county will say; let them suffer the
penalty of the law with unmtigatpd
severity. But if they are not guilty
of this great crime, they should estah-
lish their innocence MS early AS possible,
and thus rid the public mind of all
undue suspicion.
Considerable excitement was ere.
ated on our streets the other day when
the news was spread, that james Nc
Clure had been run over Ivy COW and
seriously hurt. But when facts were
ascertained, it was found that the COW
had not run over Mr.. Mcclure, but
that Mr.. Mcclure had run over the
COW. A suit for damages will proba>
bly, follow.
The sound of the hammer is heard
in the land, and new roof in our
midst is only one evidence of the pro.
gress Of the place. Our population is
rapidly increasing, and, although am
not a prophet nor the son of II prophet,
still predict that Altamont is going
to boom, and if the Democratic Exc.
cutive Committee Of this district can
think of no better place for the holding
of the next Congressional Convention,
we say just come along up to the
headquarters Of peace and plenty, ttl.
low citizens, and make your nomina-
ton here. Altomont has no aspirant
for the nomination yet, and in all pro
liability will have none. So come
along, brother democrats. There is
nothing small about Altamont-Bmm!
Esq. Stump, who so mysteriously
disappeared from this place on the 9th
inst, was found few days ago in the
neighborhood of the Swiss Colony.
When first discovered, he was standing
in front of two very tall pine trees
standing near each other, to which he
was repeating the marriage ceremony
with great solemnity. He has been
restored to the bosom Of his family,
and there is more joy over this one
man than over the ninety and nine
that went not astfay.
