FROM an inspection of the stock of
gold and silver watches, jewelry,
silverware and novelties of w. Il.
Jones we would suppose everyone in
town could be suited, he reports ex-
cellent sales for so early in the sea-
son, and no wonder, he has splcn-
did stock to select from, and we find
II surprising to see how many first
class goods can be bought for SO lit
tie money.
RUNAWAY "A horse belonging to
and driven in spring wagon by Mr..
A. X. Kyner with Mr.. Valentine Wilks
seated by him, ran off on Monday last
and at the corner of Queen and Burke
streets, both gentlemen were thrown
out, giving them ugly and painful
bruises. The horse continued to
wards home and collided with Mr..
John Peterman's wagon, near the
bridge on South Queen street. The
horse become detached and continued
OH towards home until stopped by Q
colored man. Strange to say the on
ly injury to the wagon was a broken
single tree.
