Pony Club Racket.

Last Saturday night a posse of
country boys out south of town think
ing TO have some sport at the ex-
pense of a eomrade net endowed
with a superabundance of mental
faculties, piloted the youth into a
watermelon patch, where the owner,
who was into the plot, was waiting
concealed in the high corn to open
fire upon the crowd. This was done,
and all ran fer dear life, as it were i;
but the supposed demented youth
took the .precaution before joining
the crowd to arm himself, and while
the excitement vas at its highest, and
before the smoke from the water
melon owners pistol had cleared
away, the latter gentleman could be
seen in the moonlight carrying out
OF his own patch, at the point of a
dangerous looking weapon, the larg-
est melon that could be selected.
which he was compelled to devour,
rind and all, while the young man at
whose expense the fun was to have
been had sat by and placidly viewed
the proceeding through the sights Of
his pistol-barrel, not frightened in the
least. This old joke is getting to be
too common in these parts, and will
not work in every instance, as the
crowd is now fairly convinced.

Church

The dedicatory services of St.

Sunday morning, were largely at
ed. the house being filed to sat-
overlooking an hour before the SER
vices began. The new edifce was
tastefully and profusely decorated
with evergreens and flowers, present
ing a decidedly beautiful appearance.
The Right Reverend Bishop Robert
son presided, assisted by Reverends
Gray, of Florida, and Watson, of
this city. st. Paul's is an old par
ish with a new building, the present
one replacing a modern structure
built in 1870, and which was dam.
aged by a wind storm a year later.
The new building is a neat brick in
the Gothic style, with open roof, and
finished elegantly in natural wood.
The parish is now under the charge
of Rev. S. N. Watson, a general IA

He Stepped His Paper.

During the past month We have
received nearly one hundred new sub
scribers to the LEDGER and lost three
or four. One of these was orr much
esteemed friend and most estimable
county man "Uncle" F. p. Canter-
bury. We speak Of this matter on
account of the peculiar eason he
gave for stopping his paper. Last
week we made out statements for our
patrons 30 they could see how their
accounts stood. Mr.. Canterbury
got his statement, then came in and
paid up and stopped his paper, as
he had a right to do. We did not
care to know his reason at all but We
learn that he stated on the street that
he stopped the LEDGER because il
fought Hutton. We are sure our
friend will admit that this is q free
country and that we have the same
right to fight his personal friend Hut
ton that he has to fight our personal
friend Robinson. He is surely moi
one of those men who are going ovel
the county threatening people and
telling them that they can never hold
office, sell goods or run a newspaper
unless they vote for Hutton. W.
surely think he is a man with to-
broad views and liberal ideas to thlnl
of such a thing. We have been fail
and above board in all we have don,
and have stopped to nc underhane
methods. The LEDGER will com,
out next week just the same as it die
when Mr.. Canterbury took it
We are sorry we could not con
scientiously support his man bu
don't think it makes much differenc,
anyway whether he was for him ant
we against him or we for him and b
against him. Neither he nor the LED
GER controls the politics of Audrau
county.

The hog cholera in its worst form
