Last night Rutledge was conyulsed by a
riot which threatened the loss of many
lives and as IL was resulted In the death
of one person and the mutiaton Of q
dozen more. During the day there had
been an exciting contest over the county
elections, and although the law required
the closing of all bars, there were private
bottles enough TO make many drunk. The
feeling, which was somewhat playful at
first, was famed into bloodshed by
frivolous quarrel between Bob Brewer
and Tom Estes, resulting in blows. u.

a pcacemakcr In behalf of Estes, when
the Hawkins boys jumped in to aid Brew.

Bob Hawkins with his knife, giving him
three probably fatal stabs in the back A
man named Churchill grasped the knife
which was In Hardn's hand, when the
latter turned around on the new conner
and drove his knife into Churchilrs
breast Then Others joined in, until not
less than twenty-five men were piled up
in mass, shooting, cutting, cursing and
rendering the scene most hideous. One
man lost his ear by a clean cut, and Har-
din's head was banged up so as to retire
him from the difficulty. A dozen Others
were MANNED, and it was not until nearly
every one was wounded that the trouble
ended. Churchill died to-day, while one

at the courthouse in McMinnville, for
the consideration of proposition to

such an enterprise will furnish a profit.

Mr.. o. F. Brand, cisizen OF Sher>

establish this enterprise. 1t is an in,
dustry that should be encouraged and,

the raising of the cane, it can be Sc
cured. If you want chance to make
two dollars where you now make one,

-Messrs. Sullivan Bros, have a
splendid No. 3 Victor Glover Huller,
which they propose to run by steam
power the coming season if the farmers
of Warren county will encourage them
by sowing large crops of clover for
seed. Some of our largest farmers can
probably save, on each farm as much
as 100 acres and others so or more.
Let every one who has the clover save
as much as he can of his second crop
for seed. It will probably pay better
than any other crop. Remember clover
will pay the first crop for hay and the
second for seed.

Mr.. Clendenen represents being now

doubtless have good success in adding
new members to their rolls.
While the young men were re-
hearsing Jephtha at the college in
their costumes one night this week,
something happened to their clothing
which had been left in a room in a
remote part of the building. There
were evidently ghosts abroad that
night in the G. +. G. There was a
mysterious ENHANCEMENT of various
articles Of clothing, and dampness
about some of the boys boots that the
wet weather didn't altogether war
rant. Stitches and pins were too nu-
merous to mention, while things
were a "pi" generally. The mis-
chievOus elves doubtless made their
escape through the chimney, as pair
of boots were found lodged some dis
lance up that avenue of egress.
An impression has gained curren-
cy that the entertainment at the col.
lege will only be partially given to-
night Friday, and continued or con-
cluded tomorrow night. This is q
mistake. The entire cantata Of
Jephtha and his Daughter will be
given complete tonight and repeated
tomorrow night. The young ladies
and gentlemen taking part in the
performances have spent much time
and study in preparing a first-clas;
entertainment, and our people should
show their appreciation of the effort
by giving them crowded houses OF
both nights. All can rest assured
they will be highly entertained i
they attend.
Farmers Of Warren county SHOULD
not allow themselves, or their seeC
merchants, to send their money
away again to other counties O
States for grass seeds. They SHOULD
not only grow for home use, bu
would doubtless find it profitable Il
make it for market. Clover seed al
ways brings the cash when spring
time approaches, and generally pay
a profit above the cost of production
See that we make enough this yea
at least to supply home demand.
