 J. G. WooteD, who is under In- ditement for au attempt to poison his fathcr-in-law, Wm. Hollowell, of near Palestine some time ago, and who escaped from the deputy sheriff in October, visited the old gentleman again the other day and in an altercation wh,ch took place Wooten knocked HollowelI down with the butt end of double barrelled shot gun. Sheriff Wilson was telegraphed the particulars, and with @ posse consisting of himself, W. H. Aldridge, Sam Apperson, and John Shelton, of Palestine started ont to capture the lawbreaker who sworo he would not be taken. He was found in a house in Hollowell's s field near Palestine, and when he saw the officers he broke and run. Tho pursuing party out run the fugitive, and when he saw he was being defeated turned upon the posse with shot gun, and swcre again that he would die before he would be taken. Under pre- tension of making a compromise for him, and promising not to relieve him of his arms, Sheriff Wilson and his assistants closed in upon the gentleman of fighting mind, and seizing him, disarmed and bound him, and he now looks forth upon the beautiful snow from behind the cold iron bars of the county jail.

HOW THE BATTLE WAS LOST.

The fight between the prohibition ists and anti-prohibitionists, which has occupied the greater part of the week was brought to close on yesterday morning by Judge Word refusing to grant the petition of the prohibition ists. After revision of the petition and the census taken by the prohibit tlonists, the court held that the peti . tion did not contain the names of . majority of the adult population of the district embraced within the three mile limit. According to the findings of the court the census gave the dis trict l,086 names, while the petition contains only 4l5 names. This gave the anti-prohibitionists . majority of 56; and the court granted license for tho sale of liquor. The trial was ably from beginning to end. H. N. Hutton and McCulloch A Me Culloch represented the prohibitionists and James P. Brown the oppos ition. The attorneys for the prohibitionists gave notice of an appeal from the judgment and the matter will be taken to the next term of the Lee circuit Index.

 The subject of thls sad sketch was born in St. Francis county, February 25th, 1883, and when sixteen years of age, was married to F. NJ. Prewett. In 1863 she joined the Baptist church, thus having been a member twenly-ive years. During her life she gave birth to nine children, two of whom precede ed her to her home Tn heaven.

 Thus under the snow and sleet, down in the cold, cold ground, now rest the remains of a devoted wife and mother, a faithful follower oi Christ Jesus, and true friend to the poor. Her spirit has gone ur higher, and now enjoys that etern' al rest, which God has promised to the obedisnt.

The tongue is thickly furred, the pulse small, weak and rapid, tM breathing accelerated, and hard, d! cough is frequent. Sickness and vomiting may be present. The animal grunts or screams if the belly is han dled, the bowels may be costiw throughout, but more commonly thU become relaxed about the third day and an exhausting, fetid diarrhGs en. sues.

We have just heard of one of our merchants sending an order to some large city for his job work. We also learned the price he paid for it, which was about 8 more than we would have asked him for the same work. Now we spend SIS or s20 and sometimes $50 8 month with this same merchant, and in the name offairness we will ask. IS this right? We don't grumble at the prices we pay for goods, although many tunes we could perhaps get them cheaper in Mem- phis. Now let us tell our mer- chants, once more, as we have told them several times, that when you want job printing of any discript- ion, we will do your work CHEAPER than you can get it elsewhere m in the same quantity. Large orders come much cheaper in proportion than do small orders. This 10 . rule which necessarily governs ali Printing concernes. The reason of thus is pam: when the type is once in shape, the form made ready, and numerous preparations are made for a small order, the buyer must pay for It. and the only diff ference m the cost of a larger order is the cost of the paper and the press work. Do you see the point! If not, give us call and if you are disposed. get quotations from tho city offices, and bring them with you, and If we don't beat ,em, in quality of work and low prices. we will make you a present of the job. We have our prices fixed on all work and VIC 1ont like to vary from them, but if necessary to keep your trade at home, where 1t be- longs, we will do your work tor nothing. But we believe you are willing to patronize those who pstronize you, and we are sure you recognize the principle of . reasonable profit. Who Is there among us who is not willing to follow the maxim of "live and let live"1 In conclusion let us again request you to get our prices be- fore you place your orders else wherc. We ask it for your own good, as well as ours, as we will save you money. We will not be undersold. Do you hear'
 We thank you each and all for past favors, and will endeavor to merit continuance of your patro- nage.
 Respectfully,
