Some Military Tactics.

Captain Scovill was the commander of company In a Kentucky, Union regiment during tho war, and he and his men were from among the Wild cat cliffs of Rockcastlc river In the eastern mountains of the "Dark and Bloody Ground" The captains idea of drill was something interesting to contemplate when presented in the mastering of his recruits, and their at- tempts at the revolutions of the com pany as well as the manual of arms were wonderful to see. The captain carried his sword like one of the old time "cornstalk muster" officers and called 1t "swoard" and his commands were unique though always to the point. Every man In the company had been former neighbor and he addressed them by name while drill ing them. He would say, "Now boys, order arms, one time in three motions. Look out now. IIcz Cole, you an Aleck ColwelI, an try an bring 'cm down, all at one time, with the other boys, kerthump.
 Say, lookee here, Tobe Jones, you an 'Lias Wiggins is making too much stick-out thar in the middle. Why cant ye come up straight like, all you fellers, like yer did yisterday. Sortcr try to primp up an do like Cap'n Daverson's comp'ny is doin."
 On one occasion, with great sever ity, and in tone of injured authority as we'll as of personal afront, he ad- dressed one Of his men: :Jim Brum- mitt, Pve told you to right dress three times an yer haint done 1t, an I think yer plum pup, and a fest pup st that" He and Brummitt came very near having fsticuR for that, but military discipline eventually pre- vailed to prevent.
 Those men never did learn to drill very well, but when 1t came to fight they were all tberc, all the time, and they could shoot as hard and effec- lively as if they bad been equals in drill to the old time Chicago Zouayes.

three toughs, Charley Anderson, Lafe Kes-
Ter and Charley Evilsizer, who came from
about three miles north of the village. On
Saturday evening they came to town, took
on quantity of bug Juice from the drunk

lock and staple, and carried the lock off.
Mr.. Ward filed an affidavit against them.
On Sunday they were arrested by s. II.

given to understand they should either

CATAwBA, April 25.-Ths farmers are
all busy with spring work. Feed is get
ting pretty scarce here now for stock, on
account of the lateness Of spring. Many
of our old citizens say they have seen cold
days in April, but this April, as whole,
beats the record. "A. J. Rust has moved
to New Mooretield. Miss Leila Rust re-
turned last week from Elk Ridge, Nd,
where she has been visiting relatives.
Miss Fanny Manar will attend the
normal school at Ada, o., this summer.
There will be a meeting of the centennial
committee on next Wednesday evening at
the township house. All of those that are
on committee and all interested IN the cen
tennial work are urged to be present.

A bank will do business on basis of s
per cent. and get rich, merchant will try
business on the idea of 25 to so per cent.
and fail. Why? The bank does strictly
cash business. The merchant lets Tom,
Dick and Harry take his goods out and put
it on the books or on a ticket in the drawer.
You would not think of asking bank to
let you take ont ten or fifteen dollars and
in day or two return what you did not use.
The famous one-price cash Arcade boot and
shoe house have adopted the bank system.
The consequence is that every purchaser
saves from ten to fifteen per cent. No bad
accounts to make up off of those who pay
cash. No goods taken out unless settled
for, but any purchases that prove to be un-
satisfactory and returned in good condition
money will be refunded without complaint
or hesitation.
