the effect that the accommodation will soon De

town instead. The branch people have long

it maybei that some of their Legislators"
now think they have sufficient pull at head
quarters to bring about this change, but we
won't believe it until we have to.

Joe Elliott received a large majority of
the votes cast for roadOverseer at he recent
election, but it is said that one of his op-
ponents is thinking Of contesting for the
Office on the ground that Elliott is not eligi-
BILE. 1t seems that there is a provision in
the law requiring that the roadoyerseer shall
have been a resident of THE district from
which he is elected for one year preceding
his election. As Mr.. Elliott was but lately a
resident of the city OF IrontOn, which is not
in the district, his competitor maintains he
is not qualified. We think, though, with
such decided vote in his favor, Elliott will
on to his office.
Steps are being taken to establish hank
of deposit and discount in this town, and we
are requested to notify the public thereof
Such an institution is needed here, and we
hope the attempt may be successful. 1t
would be public convenience; i: would
pay; and it is feasible. The law says: Amy
five or more persons in any county of this
state, who shall have associated themselves
by articles of agreement, in writing, as pro-
vided by law, for the purpose of establishing
u bank of deposit or discount, or of both
deposit and discount, may be incorporated
under any name or title designating such
business" There should be no time lost,
and stock subscriptions to a sufficient amount
ought to be easily and quickly obtained.

Mace simpson, colored, was up in the
Justices Court yesterday on the charge of
having committed a nuisance in dumping
refuse and filth in Stout's Creek just west Of
where the placid waters of that stream flow
past The suu Urban villa and home OF Samuel
Boyd, another colored denizen of that cas-
;ern part OF town called Wisonvlle. The evi.
dence was iudisputable and the jury brought
in verdict of guilty, assessing the fine at
$40, the minimum penalty for offeuses of
that nature. The costs and fine tOget her
were S2S p, which the defendant paid and
went on his way. 1t was rather hardship
on the poor negro for he was doubtless i9no-
rant of the law, and it seemed very much as
il the prosecuting witness acted more from
spite than any special love OF justice.
A peculiarly sad and fatal accident oc-
Cured at the old Henson mill on Stout's
Greek about six miles southeast of front on

Henson was engaged in removing some tim

Three O'Clock that afternoon she died and
the remains were inferred the following day. !
The deceased was verging into womanhood,
hel age being about IA years, and The widow
ed mother and other relatives have the pro-
found sympathy of The entire community in
their singular and terrible bereavement.
J. A. Denny, the Reynolds county forger,
who is confined in the ST. Louis Jail for safe
keeping, came very near effecting his escape
one day last week. Jailer Callahan received
a BOND duly signed, accompanied by a lette'
to be from Sheriff Piles of Rey-
nods county, stating that the bond was good
and that the prisoner should be released. |
Among the names on the bond was that of
W. l.. Beyersdoff, and the jailer on compar
ison OF that signature with one attached to Il
letter he had received from Mr. B., led Mr..
Callahan to suspect that the bond was "A
forgery. He accordingly telegraphed to Mr..
BeyersdOrff to know "if all was right" and
the latter gentleman promptly replied that
''all WAS wrong" to keep the prisoner in
custody. MI. Mr.Beyersdoff then went to the city
and he says that the signatures to the bond
are all well done, more especially that OF
Sheriff Piles on the order asking the release.
The envelope in which the bond was received
by the jailer bore the postal mark of "Cen-
treviIle' and the letter of he Sheriff had
