appear at four o'clock for trial, letting

The dancing was continued in the ole
Fair Ground to-day, and. far into the
night, and the Wellston String Band has
certainly earned a holiday -. Mr.. John
| w. Evans, of Thurman, called to-day. -.
Nature gave a.display of fireworks in the
| Southeastern sky tonight, which far ex-
celled in beauty the display here last
night. By the way, speaking of last
nights fireworks, do you know that we
deem it highly appropriate to have dis
play of fre-aUorks in front of doggery
The business of the place points in that
direction. on...... The subject of cruelty to
animals and children is being somewhat
agitated just now. Perhaps some people
may think there is no need of such agita-
tion here, but acts of cruelty are of daily
occurrence. To-day brute was seen to
kick boy out of the front door of his
miserable home, not two squares away
from the Court House,. Those who
went to California, Pike County, on the
4th report grand good time, and a large
crowd.
SUNDAY.-Mr. Douglass hasibeen busy
introducing his Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty, to-day, making short
address to the M. E. Sunday School this
morning, and delivering a lecture at M.
E. Church tonight. At the lecture there
was an immense audience, all the church
es attending. The speaker went into
somewhat lengthy talk. exhibiting sever
al instruments of torture, in the way of
whips, &C., captured from cruel persons
by the Society. He dwelt at some length
upon the subject of cruelty to horses, TAX
ing the ground that public watering
troughs should be provided in town for
the use of horses from the country. Mr..
Douglass related an incident which came
under his observation on Sunday, where
in man showed great cruelty ito dog.
In this anecdote he proved where the So
ciety may be mistaken at times as to
where the cruelty comes in. The man
who struck the dog was Marshal Owens,
and the dog he struck was Rush's big
white bulldog, and the reason he struck
him was because he was tearing smaller
dog. The Society is good thing, and
ought to be encouraged.
MoNDAY.-Cool and pleasant. -. Mr..

Mr.. Randall says the couple are not mar
ried, as the girl is Mr.. Randall's daughter
......... An officer informs us that some |
of the liquor dealers in Jackson talk of
testing" the ten o'clock ordinance. Well, |
let them test. There would be no partic |
ular horror in the thought of getting a |
few outlaws in Jail. Elijah Crabtree, |
Of Glade P. O., is in town to-day. g. |
w. Rice has added a new paling fence to
MS residence property. 80. In conversa-
ion with well-known citizen to-day on
;he subject of protection of children from
cruelty, he remarked to us that if all pa
rents would do their duty by their chill
lren at home, and teach them right, the
children would do right. This may be a
lice theory to think over, but the most
confirmed sneak-thief we ever knew was
he son of a thoroughly upright and pious
clergyman. So that and scores of similar
instances, knocks that theory.
