Ben Harris, cOlore1 man of this

evening about five miles out on the
Madisonville road. He went out to

TIE WOODS VALLEY KILLING.
Not Near So Bad AS at First Reported
Talley Here, But VIII Surrender
Tomorrow.

Mr.. Geo. r. Talley, Of District No.
is, who killed DR.. J. G. Brake at
Woods Valley, in District No. 8, Of
Dickson county, night before last, is
in the city, having come here for the
purpose Of surrendering to the officers
of the law, but after learning that he
should answer at Charlotte, made up
his mind to go there tomorrow and
give himself up.
Mr.. Talley states that he did kill
DIR. Brake, and that his reasons
for doing SO were that Brake
was his family physician, and
had been attending his fifteen year
old daughter, Anna, who had been
quite sick. While enjoying the con-
fidence of Talleys FIRMLY, DIR. Brake
succeeded in running his patient, and
afterwards refused to right his wrongs
by marrying his victim. Mr.. Talley
notified Brake five days before the
killing, that he expected him to
marry Miss Anna, but instead of do
ing go, Brake sent an attorney to
Talley to see ifa compromise could
not be made, and this disgraceful
proposition is what caused the killing,
consequently if these statements are
true Brake broke just right.

BEEF BURGLARS.
Who Admit to Such Crime and are
Held to the Court Call.


Some days since Mr.. James Mon
roe the flower and vegetable garden
man discovered the hide of young
beef that had been killed and slaugh-
tered, in niche of his place, and as
the act was professionally a theft,
he reported the facts to the officials,
which resulted in the arrest yester-
day afternoon of Chas. Read and
James Branagan colored, who to-day
were taken before Squire Caldwell,
when, much to the surprise of
all present, they admitted that
they did kill Monroe's ami
NAL; and that they got a hog from
III. Roberts, and another from a
white lady whose name they did not
know.
The result was that a bond of
$3.50, was required Of each, failing to
give which, they went to Jail. They
will be presented to the grand jury
which is now in session, as soon as
possible. Such citizens as these are
very bad in any community and the
courts would do the public a great
good by dosing them to the full limit
of the law, covering their cases.

Object to Paying Taxes.

When the line was run between
Logan, Butler and Muhlcnburg coun-
ties, by late survey, certain parties
were found to be in Logan counties
who heretofore were thought to be in
Butler and Muhlenburg counties.
These parties refuse to list their prop
erty in Logan county. This will in
all prot ability lead to law suit.
These parties object to paying the
tax for the 0. q n. II. R.-Russell-

TENNEssEEs TRIBUNAL.
News of Interest From To-dny's Session
Of the Criminal Court.

One of the funniest cases ever tried
in the Criminal Court here, was that
of the State against Phil. Billingsley,
the SHUTDOWN colored man charged
with stealing chickens. The evidence
adduced showed that the chicken
roost of Mr.. John Neblett had been
robbed, and that the fowls had been
found in the possession Of the accused.
Billingsley himself was put on the
stand and his statement was eXcruti-
atingly funny, and frequently caused
roars Of laughter in the Courtroom.
During the ordeal Of cross examina-
tion the deponent became decidedly
funnier in his expressions than before,
and when asked what he did with
the seven fowls that he claimed to
have bought from Dave RObb, he
said: "Dey wuz put into de pot,
legs, heads, CUTS and all; ami dey
wuz cooked. This caused an exceed
ingly lively litter, and even the
court itself smiled.
The case of the State against Louis
Martin charged with perjury was
tried and the accused was discharged.
The case of Anna Sadler for re-
ceiving stolen property, and Romine
for assault and battery were on trial
during the latter part of the after
noon.

Repellent Manners in Rome.

No one gets very intimate with the
Italians, it is said. They are verv
warm hearted, sOciable aud easy up to
a certain point; there it ceases. The
young diplomats who live in Rome
notice this; although thev have lost
their costumes, they have kept GUS
toms, and one of these is a certain re-
pellent atmosphere where extreme in
tlmacy is expected. There is in Rome
the mOre's the pity-a slow vanish
ing OF the picturesque; but although a
Roman Princess may wear a modern
gown and retain nothing of the past
but her splendid jewels, she is the
same proud lady that she was, or that
her great-grandmOther was. and she.
like her, repels intimacy or familiarity
beyond certain point.
One very important point is that
they never wish to be touched. In our
country lady talking with another
will often lay her hand on her friends
arm this is considered a very great
and Objectionable familiarity by an
Italian. Never touch the person it is
sacred, y is an Italian proverb. A lady
IN Italian society, to be very polite,
will shake hands when introduced to
an American the first time, but she
rarely extends her hand the second
time; she makes a deep and graceful
courtesy. If her friend is in affliction.
she comes, takes her hand and presses
1t to her heart; but there is nothing of
the free, easy caressing, none of that
intimate kissing, nothing like the init
macy which we observe between
American women.

Half Fare to Washington.

For the accommodation of all who
desire to witness the Inauguration of
President-elect Harrison, the B. & O.
Il. K. Co., will sell excursion tickets to
Washington from all points on its lines
at one fare for the round trip. Tickets
will be sold March 1st to 4th. inclusive.
and will be valid for return passage
until March 7th, inclusive. The B. &
y. IS the shortest and most direct route
to Washington from all points touched
by its lines. 1t has more track and
yard room at Washington than anv
road and consequently more facilities
for the prompt movement of trains
and the expeditions handling of a
large passenger business than any 9th
er line.
The B. & 0. handled an immense
passenger traffic at the Inauguration of
President Cleveland, without delav
and without injury to a single passen
ger.
Its facilities have been greatly aug
mented since that time and it is in
position to give more satisfactory SER
vice than any line touching Washing

on the great questions of the day,
which is all done, It's said, for
the benefit Of the workingman.
The great question of the day
with the wOrkingman is to know
where he or his wife can go to
get the best and most for their
money. We modestly claim our
stores to be the place sought for,
and our stock and prices will be
our arguments. Why be salts
fed to buy in small stores before
seeing US? We can supply you
with anything in the house-fur-
nishing line at prices far below
other stores in the city.
Have you seen our new $40 An
tique Oak Suit? 'Tis worth the
seeing, at least if only to be con-
vinced how much we can give
you for so little money. Orhave
you looked at our Extra-Super
Ingram Carpets, reduced from rs

interested with this. You save
Five Dollars on 20 yards of car

Speaking of Plush Rockers, we

The first of the mutton dinners To

OF the Oxforddown, Shropshire and

being the stated dinner of the Eastern

The mutton served was a saddle roast
weighing Al pounds, cut from a three
year old Oxforddown wether. which
was late lamb and did not make as
large sheep as the lambs dropped
earlier that year did. It's live weight
was 1873 pounds; dressed 1O5 pounds
Grain had never been fed to him until
within three weeks before butcherinp
Probably never a better roast ever
adorned a Talbot county table, and the
guests literally praised the mutton.
On the bill of fare were also oysters in
various styles, wild duck and other
game, diamond back terrapin and other
luxurles of the place and season. Col

Sore Throat.

This is the season for sore throats
and similar ailments, which if attended
TO at the outset can easily be cured, but
II neglected are liable to cause consid-
cradle trouble. One who has tried it.
communicates the following for the
cure of sore throats: LET each one of
our readers buy at any drug store one
ounce of camphOrated oil and FIVE
cents worth of chlOrate of potash.
When any soreness appears in the
throat, put the potash in half tum-
bierful of water, add the camphorated
oil, and with it gargle the throat thor
oughly at night before going to bed,
and also pin around the throat a small
strip of wOOlen flannel" This is sim
pie, cheap and sure remedy.
