The proceedings in connection
with the celebration Of the 4th of
July in Rugby, were this year com
menced on the evening previous,
when the Entertainment given by
the 8 ,cial Club in aid of the Hughes
Public Library, was brought to
most successful issue. The full &C
count will be found in another
column. The Commissary Hall was
quite full, over one hundred and
twenty persons being present. The
new ventilators had been put in in
time, and there was marked i'm

are glad to state that the receipts
amounted to SAL, which has been
handed over to the Trustees.

JAMESTOWN LETTER.

Times have been very lively over
here for several days. Friday, July
Sd, came, and on that night there
was lively time enjoyed by all in
attendance at the ball. There were
forty eight persons engaged in the
exercise. Music was excellent and /
think everybody enjoyed it; in fact,
I have heard many say that it was
the calmest and best behaved crowd
they had ever seen at any ball in
this county.
July 4th, most of the Jamestown
dancers attended the exercise given
at Allardt. The day, however, proved
very unfavorable, and all the
dancers, at least, were sadly disap-
pointed, for the citizens Of Allardt
had been kind enough to build a
platform "a IT, by IA for dancing
and other parts OF the exercise,
Exercises began by singing and
music on the organ by Miss Eva
Jones, one of Allardt's fairest bellies,
who for q time has been resident in
Rugby. Cyrus Clark read extracts
from the Declaration Of Indepen
dsnce and ,aade few remarks very
appropriate OH the occasion.
Swinging seems to be one of the
favorite sports Of Allardt's young
folks.
Afternoon races among the boys
were in order; running and jump
ing were the favorite sports. Some
ran what they call sack races; they
simply get in sack, pull it up
around their waist and run; OF
course progress is allow.
Several prizes were awarded. I
did not know all the winners, but
Henry Gaudin, Of this town, won
two, on run and jump and stand
and jump.
George Conatser won the prize
on running, coming out 10 fee: in
100 yards ahead Of the next best.
The Nashville and Knoxville r.
R. Company submitted this propo-
sitien to our quarterly county court
Monday-says the company: 1--WE
will build YOU road running from

When In The Wrong Channel
The bile wreaksgrieyous injury. Head
aches, constipation, pain in the liver and
stomach, iaundicc, nausea ensue. A few
doses OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
reform these evils and prevent further
injury, Itisapleasant aperient, its act
ion upon the bowels being unaccompan-
led by gripping. The liver is both regu.
lated and stimulated by It, and as It is
very impolitic TO disregard disorder Of
that organ, which through neglect may
eliminate in dangerous congestion and
hepatic abscess, the Bitters should be
resorted to at an early stage. Failure to
do this renders contest with the NAL.
ady more protracted. Fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou.
bles, are remedied by this fine medicine,
and the increasing inarnities ofagc nit,
igated by it. 1t may be also used in
convaleseence with advantage, as it
hastens the restoration Of vigor.

ARREsTED. "A mysterious muir.
der was committed in Atbuckls
District, several months ago, and
the body hung to a limb Of atree,
near Concord Church, to leave the
impression that 1t was acase Of
suicide. The victim was a man
named HaztlEood, from Gallia
county, Ohio The murder was no
doubt committed for the purpose Of
robbery, as Hazelwood it is claim.
ed, had about $500 in his possess
ion when he came to this side Of
the river, with which he expected
TO purchase a blacksmith shop site.
He nude his headquarters with u
negro named Daniel Anderson, liy.
ing on Five Mile with a white NO.
man. This Anderson is said to be
a regular desperate. He seems to
have planned with a negro named
Hauck, Of Gallia county, Ohio, who
followed him to this side Of the
side Of the river, to murder and
rob Hazelwood. Al least this is
theory, and the circumstances bears
tout. Accordingly on Thursday
last, a warrant was sworn out for
the arrest Of Anderson, and placed
in the hands Of Constable John T.
Shepherd, who arrested Anderson
that night, in his bed at his home.
On Friday he had an examination
before Justice woodward, the ex.
animation lasting all day and late
into the night. The Justice sent
the prisoner on, and he was lodged
in jail Saturday morning. The
examination developed a pretty
strong chain Of circumstances all
pointing TO the guilt of Anderson,
Hauck and one or two others, who
at this time it is best not to name.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest Of Hauck, and a reqnisition
on the Governor of Ohio, prepared,
and we expect soon to have this
murderer safely behind the bars Of
Of our Jail,
This was q most heinous crime,
and every effort should be made to
ferret out and convict the murder
ers.
