The trial Of VIII Pucket for an al
legged assault upon little girl in Lee
township took place before Justice OF
] the Peace for that township Monday.
Mr.. PuckettIwas released on the charge
OF felony, aud was held for simple as
sault and the case transferred to Wilson
township on a change of venue, and set
for trial on the 18th instant. There
seems to be considerable feeling about
the matter, aud as the statement we
have received is not altogether satisfac-
tory we forbear the expression of any
opinion until the case has been tried.
If we are correctly informed however,
we do not think there is anything but
prejudice in the case.
Mrs. j. r. Oates departed for Bon
ham, Texas, on Monday last, to join
her husband where they will reside in
the future. Mr.. Oates has been regu-
lar deputy under Sheriff Young for
nearly three years, and has made an
excellent officer, while his wife (nee
Mrs. Annie White has long been well
and popularity known to the good peo-
Pile of Russellville. We regret that we
have to lose Mr.. Oates aAd his family, but
hope that they may do well among the
people where they have located. We
heartily commend Mr.. Oates to them as
a good citizen, and an honorable, up
right man, whose whole life has been
spent In Pope county, unblemished by
spot of discredit or dishonor.
The editor of this paper will be
back again next week. and of course, it
will assume the old channel. If we
have failed to make an interesting pa
per of this issue, the failure is not at
tributable to our want of energy in
trying to make 1t so, nor to the fact
that we have not had much gratis advice
as to how paper should be conduct
ed. The only difference between the
editor and the sub. is, that the editor
knows how to run paper by himself.
We shrewdly suspect, though. that

George A. Dannelly Chapter of the
Order of the Eastern Star, met at their
hall on Monday evening last, it being
their regular meeting. A large num-
Der of Dover chapter, U. G., upon invita-
ton attended the meeting. Invitation
was also extended to Jewell Chapter,
Dardanelle, but on account of misunder-
standing as to the time of meeting, only
Mrs. Brown, w. NJ, attended. Mrs.
Stiea1, D. d. G.. NJ, of Marble City,
being present was called to preside over
the meeting and several degrees were
conferred. A banquet was given by
Dannelly Chapter, of which all partook
and had splendid time. Capt. Harkey
desires us to express his regret Of the
Misunderstanding which caused fail
nre of Jewell Chapter to attend. We
acknowledge the receipt of an invita-
ton to attend the banquet, and we are
sorry that it was received too late for
us to accept, for, in consequence, we
have lost the best part of the EDITORS
privilege.
