KINsToN, N. c., Dec. 10. Re-
ports of deplorable occurrence in
Greene Co. reached here this morn
ing. The facts as we understand
are as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. w.
+. Grimsley, Of Snow Hill, have
not been getting along we'll together
Tor some time on account of the dis
sertlon of Mr.. Grimsley. Tuesday
Rev. j. L. Abernethy the M. E.
pastor of the Snow Hill circuit was
at Mr.. Grimsley's residence; Mrs.
Grimsley was preparing to separate
from her husband and 60 to her
parents; she is daughter of Sheriff
Murrill, of Onslow county; she was
in great grief and the preacher was
trying to console her. When the
preacher was about to leave he
kissed her good bye. Mr.. Grimsley
was concealed near by and when
he sew the preacher kiss his wife he
raised up and leveled on him with his
shot gun. At the first attempt to
shoot, the gun snapped; at the second
attempt the gun fred and the load
took effect in Rev. Abernethy's
face, filling it with bird shot. Rev.
Abernethy was seriously injured,
his face is badly disfgured, but he
is not considered fatally wounded.
The preliminary trial came off the
same day, and MI. Grimsley was
bound over for his appearance at
court in the sum Of $500. He was
also placed under bond of $500
to keep the peace.
Rev. Abernethy >telegraphed to
Presiding Elder Rome at Colds
boro to come to Snow Hill. In the
telegram he also rendered his resig-
nation and asked for some other
preacher to be placed in charge of
the circuit.
1t is not thought that Rev.
Abernethy had any evil intention,
but his action in kissing Mrs.
Grimsley is considered as indiscreet
and especially unbecoming a minis
ter of the gospel

Winston is running over this

The internal revenue collections
in this district during November
aggregated $ll6,SO0.Ol. Of this
amount $57,20320 was paid for
tobacco stamps, and Winston's s share
of this was $45.699.27. Two
months collections would build a
very creditable government there,

Keep the Profits at Home.

Eastern Oregon farmers sell their hogs
to Chicago shippers for five cents a pound
aud buy back their own pork in the
shape of ham at sixteen cents a pound
in course of time.-AstOrian.
The residents of The Dalles are more
fortunate in having the Columbia Pack
ing company located here. That com
pany puts up many thousand pounds of
first class hams every year and sells
them at figures way below sixteen cents.
Then too the products of our home COM
pany are superior to any brought from
the east, and can be sold to the con-
sumner at a lower figure, as no money is
paid to merciless railroad corporations
for transportation. The profits stay in
The Dalles and contribute much toward
making this the best town in eastern
Oregon, and that is an important idea
in this section at present.

The Dalles CHRONICLE is an Oregon

Jay Gould rejoices over the good crop
prospects of the country, and who does
not love to hear about Jays joy! 1t is
as pure and sweet as the Joy OF a maggot

If the farmers alliance will bend its
honest brow to the work of controlling
nominations and working in the several
states, instead of trying to run the gov
ernment, it will soon be running the
government.
The people of Tucson, Arizona, are
rapidly building up their town. They
buy 800 copies of local paper every month
for the purpose of sending it abroad, and
in addition pay 5000 month for write
ups" of their town. Tamor, Colorado,
pays 50, 900 for pamphlet and 81 800 for
'fwrite-ups" in the local press. The
Monitor, of Fort Scott, Kansas, fs paid
81 900 for talking up the advantages OF
that city. There are many other towns
that believe in printers ink, and they
are all booming.

The Portage Road.
Portland Telegram.

b The commencement. of work on the
very short but very important road at
the Cascades marks an important step
forward in the long-delayed, red-tape
strangled work of opening the Colum bia
to navigation. When completed it is
only step, and that a comparatively
small one, toward the consummation of
that great object, and only decreases and
and does not destroy the difficulties even
at that point; yet it ought to be great
benefit, directly to a portion of the state,
and remotely to all the region interested
in free river.
If, as is believed, this road, operated
by the state, in conjunction with boats
above and below, can reduce rates from
The Dalles from one-third to one-half, it
surely will be of immense advantage to
all the people of the region tributary to
that city, and to Hood River and other
points this side. 1t ought to greatly
stimulate production in Wasco county,
and somewhat in adjacent counties, in
crease the value of farm and other
property, and contribute to the develop
ment and prosperity of that region. The
more 1t does this, the more the saving
and benefit will be; because the larger
the volume of business the cheaper the
rates can be made. THESE boats and
this road must depend upon the region
indicated-and that opposite on the
Washington side-for their traffic. The
great volume of products of the county
tributary to the river beyond Cello cam
not be affected; but since all the Inland
Empire cannot be benefited at once is
no reason for not rejoicing at the pros
pective comparative commercial freedom
of a portion of it. If this portion can
supply these boats and this road with
very large amount of traffic, it will be
great Incentive to and arguments for
more rapid and thorough work at the
Cascades, and also for the speedy and
thorough prosecution of the greater un-
dertaking beyond The Dalles, which
would give freer commerce to a still far
greater region and vaster fields.
The state board will undoubtedly pros
ecute this work with all possible dill
gence, without any promptings from the
press. They understand as well as any
body the great Importance of having it
ready, if possible, for use this fall The
Union Pacific may choose to "cut under"
on rates; if SO, all right; the road, once
built, will be good, stout club, one
sometimes useful for the people to have
on hand.
