POSI- OAK.

"A young colored man went to the field
where an old colored preacher was working
some time in the past, and found the old
man at the spring, and told him he had
come for fight. All right, is des took a
cool drink and is cooled and is DIES sinking

you said the old man and at that iuncture
the young buck made at the old man and

came out victorious, and the young man
went away with a sore head a wiser, and we

last Friday night for violating the revenue

There seems to be much violation OF
the law in this section but the yiolators
don't seem to be uneasy for we suppose
they are aware of the fact that our Jury
commissioners think that that there are but
three competent Grand Jurors in this dis

James i. Falk. farmer of Law

James f. Falk, Z farmer of Law
renee county, Philadelphia, gave up
the attempt to kill himself after
finding that two balls through his
head did not do the work. On Nov.
Z last he placed the muzzle of a rife
under his chin and fired. the bail
coming out under his left eye. This
did not kill him, and he deliberately
reloaded the gun, placed the muzzle
at the same spot and fred again.
The bullet passed through and came
out at the top of his head, but in
stead Of falling down and biting the
dust, the would-be suicide walked
into the house and coolly told his
wife what ne had done. She at once
sent for physician, who pronounced
the wounds fatal, but Mr.. Falk lived
in excellent health until the other
day, when he died from the effects of
cold IN ole Of the wounds. The
physician who attended him at the
tine he shot himself died several
months ago. These Pennsylvania
farmers will be the men to send to
Sne front Ia the next war.

FROM THE WEST AND SOUTH.
Comments on General Harrison's
Letter of Acceptance.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 12.-In an editorial to-
| day the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette SAYS
''The letter of General Harrison is in every
respect an admirable document, and happily
in contrast in its simplicity. ease, certainty
of touch and exactness of expression with
the abored, strained, anxious and pompous
production of Mr.. Cleveland" .ua
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: ats only
feature of present interest to the public is its
plaintive apology for the course of the Re-
publican party in maintaining war tariff in
times of peace"
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.-The St. Louis Globe
Democrat says: 'It deals with the leading
issues of national concern, and deals with
them clearly, courageously and satisfactorily.
In 1t the free trade schemes of the DEM
ocracy are strongly condemned, and the Re-
publican advocacy of the protective policy
is as powerfully and energetically cham
pioned." -
The st. Louis Republican saws: son no
single point does it exhibit the decisive firm
ness of a man who has mastered the subject
concerning which he desires to express
conviction. Nor is the letter from beginning
to end irradicated by single phase that will
catch the public mind or linger in the peo-
pies memory" 49,
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE Indianap-
ing thing about the letter is its modest but
dlgnlned tone, and It's happy mlngling of a
pleasant manner with firmness of purpose
and association. In this respect the style is
the man. General Harrison can fight, but he
does not carry chip ON his shoulder. He
has a great deal of self assertion, but he
does not faunt it in the peoples faces need
leSsly."
The Sentinel says: SIT is not the letter of
statesman, it is the letter of demagogue.
Ii is uncandid, dishonest and sophistical in
its treatment of the issues before the country.
1t is a pettifogging document from the first
word to the last
COLUMBUS, Ca, Sept. 12.-The Columbus
Enquirer-Sun says the letter of Harrison is
weak attempt to reply to Cleveland's let
ter
L RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 12.-The Despatch
says: Coming upon the heels of Cleve-
lands mastery paper, it is as popgun to a
large piece of ordnance, the essay of school
boy as compared with the utterance of a
statesman. II it indicates anything it DEM
onstrates that the calibre of Benjamin Har-
rison is too small for the exalted position to
which his party would call him. n
DETROIT, Sept. 12.-The Tribune says:
"We are confident that the candid verdict on
the letter of General Harrison will be that
it is most admirable for its clear conciseness
and frankness. 1t is without evasions and
hidden meanings"
