An Auburn Slogging Match.

The Newcastle Neus thus describes
a boxing contest which recently took
place at Auburn. "It was announced
as a boxing match "to finish, and
that it would be for purse of 500.
At the appointed hour the audience
began to assemble, and, oh, what an
audience. There were young men and
old men, both fat and lean and short
and tall; with red hair and white
hair and heads that had no hair at
all. There were young bucks, old
bucks, and little hornless bucks,
we're told; were run in, crowded in,
followed inland then were sold.
There were business men and China
men and men that had no "biz" at
all lawyers, doctors, and politicians
great and small. They were broad
faced, long-faced, two-faced and face
about; with one lung, two lungs, all
lungs and whisky govt. There were
judges and constables, and all the
other notables; who went there to
see the fun--and gather in the
votables. They rammed in and
jammed in to see the fight; the bar
room was full of them--sober men
and others tight. They put up,
PUNCHED up, and dug up their little
change; ere Lee would let his sloggers
loose to get in their fighting range.
Then round one, round two, round
three, and round about; little biff
behind the ear and one had knocked
the other out!
The contests DER. The vanqished lay
Full length upon the bar-room floor:
A fakish smile is on his face
As surging crowds move toward the door.
"They rammed out, crammed out,
they jammed out into the air; and
now they swear, and swear about, land
swear again they weren't there"

ment on the ground of excessiveness
in the case of Asa NJ. Hamilton vs..

ant by j. l.. Wines, Esq. The Court,
presided over by Judge Hawley, after
argument ordered that if the plaintiff
inside of ten days files his assent in

The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for
the production of everything that will
conduce to the material welfare and
comfort of mankind are almost I'M
limited and when Syrup of Figs was
first produced the world was enriched
with the only perfect laxative
known, as it is the only remedy
which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently
in the spring time or, in fact, at any
time and the better it is known the
more popular it becomes.

WHISKY JACK.
He Falls from Train and is Killed While
Under the Influence of Liquor.

The Indian found dead by the rail-
road track about four miles above
town Tuesday morning was not frozen
to death as at first reported, but from
the position of the body when found
probably fell from and was struck he
by the train. His head was badly
bruised and he must have been in
stantly killed. The Indian was not
known to any of the Piutes in this
vicinity, but some of the members of
the tribe VIII came down from Battle
Mountain last evening identified him
as Whisky Jack, an Austin Indian.
His name was appropriate, and the
first part of it was undoubtedly the
cause of his death, as he was seen to
board the west bound passenger
train at Golconda Monday afternoon
under the influence of liquor to such
an extent that he could hardly climb
up the car steps. He must have
dropped asleep, fell from the train
and was instantly killed.

Solid With the Company.

Among the first railroads built in
United States was little line about
twenty miles in length. In the course
of time big tunnel line was con-
structed through the same country.
The original line became merely a
branch. For many years it was run
in cheap way, with one locomotive,
one engineer and two or three freight
cars.
Finally new general manager was
appointed. He had not been in the
Office one week when he sent for the
one lone conductor, who had been
there ever since the road was built.
II would like to have your resigna-
tion," said the general manager,
when the conductor had appeared.
"My resignation?' inquired the
conductor, in establishment.
eyes, sir; yours"
"What for, pray?"
"Well, want to make some
changes and get new blood in the
line," was the general managers
reply.
81 won't resign" answered the
conductor.
"Then l will be compelled to dis
charge you, step which, for your
sake, l had hoped / would be saved
from taking"
"Young man, you will not dis
charge me. | own.a controlling in
terest in the stock OF this railroad
and elect the President and the
Board of Directors. shall have you

The old conductor did really own
the majority of the stock and, as he
said, put in his own Board OF Di
reetors and President atlanta Con-

The Small Farm Idea.

No farms have succeeded SO well
as small farms, More money per acre
has been taken from them, and each
dollar represents greater profits.
This state and county will never at
tain high degree of agricultural
prosperity until the small farm idea
permeates the minds of our land own
erS and farmers. Double the size of
your farms, not by adding more acres,
but by making each acre doubly pro-
ductive. Sell off half your land #
necessary and put it on top the re-
manning half. You viii then make
more profit aud do it with less out
lay. You will live more comfortably
and besides have less taxes to pay.

An Imrrnred SHUTTLE.

A shuttle manufacturer in Massa-
chusetts has effected an improvement in
that mechanism which promises to be of
considerable practical value in the oper-
atious of wooden mills. In lieu of the
ordinary hinged spindle for receiving
and holding the bobbin of yarn, short
rigid spindle is employed in combination
with two holding jaws, one above and the
other below the head of the bobbiu; the
latter they clasp and securely hold IN u
central position, single spiral spring
being arranged in the base of the shut
tie SO as TO exert AN equal pressure on
the bobbin holding jaws, between which
il is placed. AS result of this unique
construction all splitting of the bobbins
arising from the use of the long pointed
hinged spindle is obviated, with conse-
quent saving of waste yarn. The trouble
from the breaking of this yarn by the
canting of the spindle point in the weav
ing operation Is also overcome. New
