Stolen Horses.

Two negroes rode into Stroud 4
Co.'S stable Thursday, one on a fine
bay mare and the other on a black
horse in good condition. The sad
dies on both were almost new. They
tried to sell the horses to Mr.. Stroud
at rather low prices, which aroused
his suspicious, On being questioned
they made some conflicting state
ments. They gave their names AS
Stevens, and said they were brothers.
Their actions were SO suspicious that
Sheriff Rheay arrested them and
placed them in Jail. Some negroes
who were working here with the
ditching train visited the Jail and
recognized the negroes. One is nam
ed Charley Simmons and the other
Tom MCGEE, and they are from Tul-
lahoma or that neighborhood. There
is little doubt that the horses are
stolen, but the sheriff has not been
able to get any information regard
ing them as yet.
LATER.
A telegram was received late
Thursday evening stating that the
stolen horses are the property of DR..
Commons, of BoOnville, Lincoln
county. They were stolen at Il
O'Clock Wednesday night, and the
negroes reached here with them

Water Works.

Messrs Burroughs & Co., have
petitioned the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen for the privilege Of laying
water pipes through the streets and
alleys of McMinnville. 1t is the pur-
poseOf these gentlemen to put in
thorough system of water works for
McMinnville if a satisfactory fran
chise is granted them, and work is to
be commenced just as soon as the
franchise is granted. NO other
enterprise could be established here
which would be of more general
benefit, and we are glad to know
that there is a prospect of the town
having such public improvement
at an early day. If it is undertaken
they expect to have the water
works in full operation within the
next twelve months. There are
several springs from which full
supply of pure clear water, suitable
at all times for domestic uses, can be
drawn. The advantages which will
accrue to the town from good
system of water works are almost
inestimable. First, fire protection
and reduction of insurance rates is a
very important item. Second, the
sanitary condition would be vastly
improved by a system of sewerage,
and an ample water supply is neces-
sary for this purpose. Third, it
would furnish a cheap power for
water motors to drive small
machinery, run fly fans, etc. to say
nothing of street sprinkling and
other uses. We hope the Board
will act promptly in granting the
company liberal franchise, so the
work can be pushed forward at once

Those we long so much to keep,
And ere long their forms we carry
To the grave so dark and deep.
Pleading with death avails nothing. We
must do something to ward off the dart he
aims at those we love. We must protect
them from him. When the hacking cough,
the hectic flush, or pain in the side or chest
gives indication of consumptive tendency,
act promptly. Go to your druggist and get

on the street a tall, straight old gen.

The latter was constantly smoking, and
blew every puff of smoke straight In
the face of his companion, who bent
forward to receive IL and inhaled It
engerly with his nose and mouth. No
one seemed to see any thing odd about
this performance of the old gentleman
and his colered compaion, but did.
and my curiosity prompted me to ask
an acquaintance for an explanation.
l learned that the old gentleman was
Ira Trip, a millionaire coal operator.
and one of the oldest natives of the
Lackawanna valley, being now past
four score. The colored man was his
valet, John. From boyhood until
twenty years or 80 ago Ira Trip was
an inveterate smoker. He smoked the
strongest and most expensive cigars
he could buy. His health became
greatly impaired when he was about
sixty, and his doctors told him that he
must either quit smoking or die. The
old gentleman did not want to die,
neither did he want 70 give up enjoy
ing his weed He did neither, and yet
he gave up smoking He has not had

can on the rights of the people to meet

meetings No similar case has been found
IN the authorities, and the proceedings
of higher courts, where the police inter
fered with a meeting in advance, and
that the industry of the lawyers III this
case has not discovered such an instance
is to the credit of our country. In such
a case as this guarded language and pre-
caution should be used, for it is as i'm
portant to suppress discord and combinaS
tions for disorders as it is that right of
