Diano special to-day contains impor-

cision Of Judge Zubia, at PAso del

tskAbly that the Court held Cutting for

tinued simultaneously in Texas aud

the case, as 1t shows that Judge Zubia
regarded the case as one continuous act.

McClarty, w. A. Rutherford, VIM.
Biles, d. l.. Brown, ye editor and
Geo. l.. Beech were right royalty
banquetted at the Warren House on
Wednesday night by Col. Sam Tate,
of Memphis, who has been in Nc
Minnville for the last four months
seeking health and recreation. Col.
Tate has been very much improved
in health during his sojourn here, and
the entertainment Wednesday night
was complimentary to the gentle
men who had contributed to his en-
joyment while here. If the Colonel's
stay in our little mountain city has
been as enjoyable to him as this en-
tertainment was to his friends, we
are certain he will want to spend an
other summer with us. The bill of
fare consisted of oysters, ,stewed, fried
and ray, together with large num-
ber of other dishes of the most deli
cious and tempting food; it was truly
a feast of good things, served in the
most dainty and palatable forms.
When full justice had beeh done to
the spread by all around the festal
board, cigars were brought, and as
the curling wreaths of smoke from
choice Havanas wove a mystic halo
over the pleasing scene, Col. Tate
arose and in a very happy style ex-
pressed his gratitude for the pleasant
entertainment he had received at the
hands of the gentlemen present, for
the Improvement wrought in his
physical condition during the last
four months, and expressed special
solicitude for the future welfare of
Capt. w. A. Rutherford, who goes
soon to new fields oflabor. The Colo
mel was particularly desirous that
Capt. Rutherford would not much
longer have to ego alone" in life's
pathway, and that he should soon
find some fair one to share with him
his joy and prosperity. Col. Mum
ford responded in his most felicitous
style, returning the thanks of all the
gentlemen to Col. Tate for the prince
ly entertainment, and assuring him
that his stay here had been mutually
pleasant to all. Col. Munfrod also
expressed for the balance ofthe bache-
lors present the same sentiment
voiced by Col. Tate for Capt. Ruther-
ford. Later in theevening Col. Tate
was serenaded by the Warren House
Cornet Band. Altogether it was oneof
the most delightful evenings we have
spent in long time.
