August 23d, 1886


some of the subscribers to your
newsy paper might be interested in
Il few lines from this part of our
county, will say that all the cum
didates have been around. They
are all fine-looking gentlemen, and
deserve the hearty support of the
people. They are all, l believe,
true Democrats, and a. such, are
entitled to due consideration from
the people; but six Of them will be
beaten next Saturday, according to
the nature of such things. TO him
who is successful in the race, |
would say, do not crow over your
opponents, but thank your friends
for the favor they have conferred
upon you. BE friendly to your
beaten opponents, and promise
them hope in the future, for the
Democratic family should dwell to-
gether in peace and harmony.
There was a fight a few days
since, between John Swackhammer
and Abe Tigner, and while engaged
Tigner bit Off SWackhammer's ear,
and the latter's mother swore out II
warrant for T'igner's arrest, before
b. III. Stevenson. j. b. Riason ap-
peared for the defendant, and o. Z.
Clark for the State. After hearing
the testimony, the Squire fined
Tignor $500 and costs, and Swacl
hammer $3.50. The defendant says
he thinks Tigner swallowed his
souse, for the piece could not be
found on the battlefield. Mr.. Edi-
tor, can said case be again renewed
and tried before the next Grand
jury? Please answer through
your paper, as it is Il question of
doubt.
You remember Uncle Ben Van
fossen, who had his property burnt
by his friends, as they say in a let
ter sent to him or dropped at his
yard gate. The scoundrels who
burned him out were not satisfied;
a few evenings ago they went into
the field where he had his wheat on
shock, and cut the bands of all the
sheaves, thereby causing him Il
great deal of trouble in handling
his wheat. Such inhuman treat
ment deserves the severest punish
ment that can be lawfully inflicted.
Mr.. Motas l.. Davis, the mail
contractor on route No. 2l422, has
been superseded by the John
Karshner railroad, but Mote is still
running wagon for the purpose of
hauling freight and passengers, in
opposition 10 the railroad. He has
all he can do, and does as much in
the way Of carrying passengers as
the railroad.
The negro camp meeting, for the
benefit of ID. III. Strous, at the Min
eral Spring grounds, is total fail
ure financially, the attendance
being very small on both Sabbaths,
on which days there was an en-
trance fee charged at the gate. Not
more than one hundred people at
tended ON either Sabbath. They
took up a collection from the con-
gregation on Thursday night of last
week, and got one penny, which
was announced from the stand. On
the next night they tried the col
lection business again, but got
nothing, or at least nothing was
reported, and they showed their
disappointment by getting little
blacker in the face than usual.
John G. Dehaven is still sick. He
has not been away from home for
about two years.
The Salt Creek Valley Turnpike
Co. has been re-graveiing the said
pike with soft gravel, which will
be soon ground to sand.
There was grand gathering
Sunday, the 22d, at Jimtown, on
Pike Run, near the Yaple settle
ment, in which four Sabbath and
four singing-schools took part, with
banners and flags with each. There
were about two thousand people
present, and very enjoyable time
was had. OLD Moss BACK.
