so scarce in the doggeries that the keep
er of some of the dens have set the
screens back, evidently in the hope OF
thus tempting the former drinkers who
have occasion to pass that way. They
but show up painted sepulchre-a gid
ed hog-pen. George w. Pine has re-
turned to first principles, and opened up

ry.... Some years ago we received
paper giving an account of the violent
death of James Cunningham, the Tenn

coal houses. One of Mr.. Devers
new houses is still empty. Mrs.
George Burris is quite sick. An un-

night.
MISUNDERSTANDING dull, heavy rain
this evening Some of the frail Great
ures who have been holding forth at the
corner of Church and South Streets have
taken sudden notion to skip for Ken
lucky. The assembling of the grand jury
is thought to have hastened their depart
ure somewhat. :. =. The Cornet Band was

Drinking among young men is get
ting to be rare thing here. The old pills
who "cannot do without" their bitters are
seen occasionally crawling into the hell
holes in town, but even these are begin
ming to feel ashamed of it. A drunken
man from near Beaver was in to-day, and
seeing former drinker with blue rib
bon on, in a sneering manner said: "Oh,
understand they're maxim men out O you
fellers in town now!" Eyes, and you'd
better move into town at oncer was the
calm reply. Sure enough! We saw that
country man going home in the evening
so drunk that he could scarcely stick in
his buggy. John Douglas, who re-
Gently returned from Indiana, tells OF
means of working the roads in the neigh
borhood where he lived, which was as
novel as effective. It is a great sorghum
growing region, and the roads are sandy,
and soft in places. After grinding the
cane, and extracting the juice, the refuse
stalks were placed upon the soft places
in the roads, making an excellent road
way, for the time being. Our old
friend Thomas Lloyd of Thurman called
to-day. At the recent election Mr.. Lloyd
cast his fiftieth vote-being now about
seventy-two years of age. Many years
ago he worked as machinist in Pitts
burgh, and helped to build the engines
for Keystone Furnace, in this county,
coming here himself to set up and start
the engines. He is good machinist, and
agood citizen. .Milt. McKinniss called
