Constable 'Scull brought up an old
offender, Geo. Jackson, arrested on

The Other Side.

We published an article from the
Oxford Press last week which pur-
ported to give the particulars of a
midnight Adventure in Maryland" !"
in which lower Oxford stock dealer
was arrested by officer Scull near
Zion charged with driving off a COW
and calf. Mr.. Scull alleges that the
account published in the Press,
which was doubtless the version the
stock dealer gave, is false in almost
every particular. The stock dealers
name is Smith, and the COW having
lost her calf in the woods below Zion
became so excited about il that the
drover was unable to keep her with
the rest of the herd and sold her to
Mr.. Scull forss$30, payable with a
note with approved security in 90
days. Smith asked S45 for the COW,
and had considerable parley before
accepting Mr.. Scull's offer, the COW
continuing to grow more unmanage-
able. The drover could not leave his
stock TO go back with Mr.. Scull and
get the 80 day note agreed upon, but
made arrangements to call on the
following Tuesday and complete the
transaction, The COW was allowed

Stacking VS.. Moving Hay.

Farmers who have large farms
and produce hay as one of their
main money crops, it seems to us
should save considerable expense
by making proper arrangements for
stacking the hay in the fields here
they are considerable distance from
the barn. There are canvas covers
manufactured specially for the pur-
pose with break joints or seams which
protect the stack perfectly from the
weather. These canvas covers are
"a feet long by four or five wide and
could be furnished in pieces longer
or wider if desired. BY construct
ing proper base for the stack, the
hay could be secured with much less
labor and made equally safe in the
field as in the barn, with these can
vas coyers; and the packed bales
could be protected by the same COW
ers till hauled to the railroad station.

to go in quest of her calf which she
soon found and Mr.. Scull drove them
home and put the calf in stable.
On the following Saturday strange
man called and offered to purchase
the calf, went to the stable saw the
calf and went away, Mr.. Scull not
being at home. The same night
about IL O'Clock the drover, and the
man who had proposed buying the
calf called and told Mrs. Scull they
were going to take the COW and calf,
Mr.. Scull being still absent. Mr..
Smith. the drover, told Mrs. Scull
that the engine had broken and that
he had to unload his stock and had
sold it on the railroad, which was
false. he having unloaded the cattle
az Leslie and had them in pasture
short distance below Zion. Mr..
Scull arrived home short time after
his COW and calf had been driven
away, started after and overtaking
the men ordered them to return the
animals, and also informed them that
he arrested them for trespass and
driving off stock. They refused at
first to go with the officer, alleging
that he had bought the cow Cor SIS
less than she was worth. They finally
accompanied the constable back with
the cow and calf, and a note with
approved security was drawn and
then the constable marched Smith
and his comrade to Squire Ben
jamin's, who said the arrest was legal,
but he discharged the prisoner.
The story which Smith had rub
lished in the Press about two weeks
trial of the cow is entirely false,
which is contradicted by his coming
back the following Saturday night
"hN NAlNIhS GuC CIV anu Chlk away,
alleging that the engine had broken
and he was compelled to sell his cat
tie which accounted for his calling
at SO unseemly an hour for the COW.
Mr.. A. B. Cameron was present and
is Mr.. Scull's witness that the sale
of the cow was bonafide. The facts
in the case appear to be that the
drover was compelled to sell the cow
at sacrifice, being unable to drive
her on account of the loss of her calf,
and endeavored to get possession of
her again in the surreptitious man
ner above stated. but failing in the
attempt and getting himself arrested.
charged with criminal offense, he
trumped up the false statement which
was published.

The Taxes for 1850.

The levy for 1889 was made on
Saturday by the county commissio-
ners who met in special session for
that purpose. The tax rate was
made much higher than it has been
for number of years, the rate for
county purposes being raised from
80 to 100 cents on the 500. Prop
erty owners also pay 17a on the 500
for state purposes. The cause of
the rise was the determination of
the new board of commissioners TO
pay off the deficiency of $31, 900 made
by their predecessors in office. They
were of the opinion that there was
no other legal way to provide for
this floating debt, the last legislature
having refused, although urged by
prominent men of both parties, to
fund it..
The basis of the levy is on $14,-
1878 taxable property. Among
the principal items in the levy
besides the deficiency mentioned are
$15,619,36 for Circuit Court expen
ses, $4,000 for public schools, $685.
500 for roads and bridges, $4,000 for
County Commissioners court, 1850
for almshouse and insane asylum, ST..
