BoMAx TYPE FOR GERMAN PAPERS.

The managers Of one of the Gcrman-Ameu-
can papers in this city have been considering
the propriety Of dlscarding the German type
and adopting the Roman characters which
are used in the printing of so many other Ian
guages 1t was said at one time that Bis
marck favored this change; but it does not
appear as if he ever used his power 10 bring
il about, and several attempts To establish the
Roman alphabetical form IN German have
failed. One of the most enthusiastic OF the
promoters of the new system says: " We
should throw away our curlycueing type and
take the Roman which is plain. ! feel that
if some German-A American paper in New York
would make the change, that its example
would be copied by papers in Germany.n

Our Joe.

Congressman Joe Washington is
doing good service for Democracy in
combating the Alliance political her
estes. He met Mcdowell, the sub
treasury champion, at Erin, Tuesday,
and stood up for the Democratic
faith. "Our Joe" is an able speaker
and does not shrink from the duty
he owes to the people who have hon.
ored him. 1t is only by the bold adj
vocacy of Democratic doctrines be-
fore the people that a check can be
placed upon the encroachments of
political heresy.--NashUWe Banner.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Chas. Fox Shoots at Ben. Boyd, Without
Effect, However.

Ben. q. Boyd and Chas. Fox, both
of Howell, KY, became involved in
a difficulty at the Arlington Hotel
last night, which resulted in Fox
shootingat Boyd. The men fell out
over some trivial matter. Fox made

whereupon the latter struck the for
mer in the face with his hand. Fox
retaliated by jerking a pistol from
his poke t and firing it at Boyd. The
ball missed its mark, however, and
further trouble was averted by the
Intervention of friends.
Both parties were arrested by
Chief of Police Stafford and were
fined 500 each, under assumed
NAMES, in the city court this morn
ing. Mr.. Fox was arrested by Sher

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
The Whitfield Live Stock Company Or
ganized at St. Bethlehem.

While GAINESVILLE is organizing
new enterprises and forging ahead at
rapid rate, it is but proper to call a
short halt and remark that there are
no flies on st. Bethlehem. A new
stock company has been organized
out there which, if arnica, rangum
root liniment and elbow grease hold
out, bids fair TO rival Buenaventura.
The way it came about is this I:
Several day ago a party of Bohe-
mians, commonly called Gypsies,
stretched their tents right in front Of
Ream's Chapel. They attracted but
little attention, and trade was so dull
with them that they decided yester-
day to move further up the road, per
haps TO Hampton's Station. Among
their string of stock was an old fee
bitten gray mare that had long since
reached the age when she should
have been given her freedom. They
wanted TO get rid of her and they
thought st. Bethlehem was the place
TO do that thing AS luck would
have it, the old animal took a
violent spell of cholic just as that
village was reached She dropped
down under the shade Of a tree, and
soon had the business men, small
boys and dogs of the village collected
around her. One of the Gypsies who
actt d as spokesman, told the crowd
that they were horse traders from
Ohio, and that the animal now before
them was good stock. In fact she
was fine as frog hair was cross be.
tween Percheron and Clydesdale; the
white ground coming from the latter
breed and the beautiful polka dots
with which she was marked being
indicative of Percheron blood. They
knew she would die and they were
terribly grieved. They did not want
to waste time in foOling
with her and agreed to sell her for
one dollar. Bryant Whitfield was
in the crowd, and just as soon as pos
sible he organized the Whitfield
Live Stock Company (limited), with
one dollar paid up capital, and TheO.
Walthal was elected secretary and
treasurer, They bought that mare
and the Gypsies left.
The next move was to purchase
$3.50 worth of medicine, which they
poured down and rubbed into hel
carcass, with no beneficial results. A
well known physician came along,
and, true to tradition, he could "curt
her." He felt so sure of it that ht
gave the company dollar for third
interest in the purchase. All hands
then went to work rubbing and
drenching, and when the LEAF.
CHRONICLES informant left they
had all the hair rubbed off of one
side, and he thought that if elbow
grease and drugs held out they
would raise her. If they cure hel
they have the groundwork secured
| for a first-c!ass stock farm and vii
put the enterprise ON foot early neXI
