A party of young people will leave
this morning to spend a week or two

ton will act as chaparone, position

Miss Matte Wilder The gentlemen,
who will have the honor of carrying the

cine, chigre ointment ETC., are Messrs.
w. w. Faw and Joe p. Summers
A gayer party, perhaps, never start
ed on a pleasure trip, and THE COMET
will follow them in their rambles and
wish them all the happiness to be
derived from a combination of happy
hearts, sharp appetites, good digestion
and surrounded by Dame Natures
grandest efforts and purest waters.

A Practical Omission.

Last Sunday, early, our efficient
chief OF police received kilograms from
different points to keep an eye single
for one Charley Compton, supposed to
hail from Chattanooga, and who was
wanted for stealing jewelry in Knox
vile, from parties whose names are
unknown, and possibly for other
offences. Charley made his appear
ance, speedily tried to vacate and was
promptly followed by Chief of Police
Remine and one Of his efficient depu.
ties, who, after firing of a mile race
determined upon speedier methods Of
securing their swift winged "bird Of
prey" and he was captured at South
Watauga and refunded" to our city
authorities as a illegally disabled tran
sient." How he was Identified or why
he was taken where "merit WINS" he
perhaps, will never acknowledge; but
the officers will.

Catch the Thief.

Jerome Martin, the shoemaker,
whose shop is over Wood & Cos.
store, went off day before yesterday af-
ternoon leaving one Kelley, an en-
ployee to manage the shop as he
(Martin) did not not expect to get
back until yesterday afternoon. When
Martin returned he found his shop
locked up. He succeeded in getting
in, however, by climbing over the
roof of some other buildings and to
his establishment found that his effects
had been gently removed and Kelley
could nowhere be found. The missing
stock consists of tools, several pairs OF
shoes and three or four sides of leath-
er. The supposition is that Kelley
skipped away in the night taking his
plumber with him, and probably went
down toward Knoxville. The au'
thorities will make an effort to catch
the reckless thief. Kelley was medi
UNI sized man, perhaps feet 3 inches,
weight 140 or so lbs. and can be easily
detected by scar on his right jaw and
the under finger of the right hand
being off at the second joint.

SKINNED ALIVE!

Away back in the ffties, when the
III California fever ran high, a party of
Hmen started across the plains to the
land of gold. In that party was
young man that vowed that he would
kill the first Indian that he saw. After
several days travel into the Indians
territory the young man saw young
Indian squaw, and true to the rash
VOW he had made, he shot and killed
the squaw. The Indians in that vicin.
ity pursued and overlook the party and
demanded the murderer, and, to save
their own lives, the party was forced
to give him up. The Indians then
forced the party to remain on the spot
until they did their bloody work they
then took the young man and actually
skinned him alive in the presence and
sight of his companions, who were
helpless to relieve him. This was cruel
treatment, but it seems like just retri-
button.
The process still progresses. A man
came to town the other day to buy
some goods-did not go to w. NJ.
CHRISTIANS, so got Skinned.
A fellow thought he could buy goods
from others cheaper than from w. M.
Christian, and that's how he got
skinned.
Another man took a bait of price on
one article less than cost at cheap
John store, then bought the rest OF his
goods at the same place, and he got
Skinned.
Moral-Buy all your Dry Goods, Gro
ceries, Notions, Boots, Shoes, Crock
cry or Queensware, Glassware, Sewing
Machines and Produce from w. M.
CHRISTIAN, and you will never get
Skinned.
