A CHILD EATEN BY A WOMAN

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, Nov. IL
News has reached here of the bIoodiest
election fight on record, at the polls on
Big Rock creek, Mitchell county, n.
G., between Republican factions. Geo.
X. Pritchard, Republican nominee for
Sheriff, was opposed by Isaac McKen-
ney, independent Republican, who
was defeated for the nomination.
The canvass was very bitter. The fight
was precipated by one of McKenney's
adherents knocking down an oppon-
ent. Immediately the whole crowd of
fifty took sides and desperate battle
ensued. Stones, knives and pistols
were used with terrible effect. Twenty
were wounded, Of whom four will die.
The whole population is in arms and
more bloodshed is expected.

To Down Mr.. Mudd.

If the Baltimore Sunday Herald of the
9th, ultimo, is correct, the Southern Mary
land Republicans will have gay time in
their this years primaries. The Herald
says:
Eek Congressman Mudd, of Southern
Maryland, has been making desperate eff
forts TO capture the counties in his district
so that he may not only dictate who shall
be the two district delegates, but also have
himself named by the State convention as
q delegate at-large. His campaign thus
far has not been very promising. Mudd
has about played himself out, it is said
He owed more to Mr.. Gary for his election
TO Congress than to any other man in Mary
land, bu: no sooner had he reached Con-
gress than he turned his back on his bene-
factor This ingratitude on Mudd's part
has become so well known that his stand
ing in his party has been steadily going
down. Should he carry his district it will
be very surprising. What strength he still
has is given lin mainly by the anti-Gary
element in this city. and the people in that
combine" have themselves very little nc.
gard for Mudd, except to use him as tool. "

BE temperate IN thinking - wen - 6AtknB
Sunday last. after reading the Lenten reg
ulations, Rev. Father Jenkins spoke Of the
utility of fasting and incidentally alluded
TO the prevalent immoderate use of alco-
holic drinks, saying, that he read the news
papers, and il the statements therein of the
amount Of liquors sold in St MarY's coun-
ty were true, il was no wonder the county
was going backward. The Reverend gen.
tieman said that he had been informed by
a st. MarY's merchant that in his store a
half barrel of whiskcy was sold for every
barrel of coal oil. Father Jenkins further
said, that the magnitude of the liquor trail
fic in St Mary's is great obstacle to the
advancement Of the county, for it democrat
ICES labor and frightens capitalists who
visit us in search Of investments. When
strangers travel through our county and
notice great numbers Of our people under
the influence ofliquor, it is seldom they fail
30 embelish their account of what they saw
when they return TO their homes. The
Reverend Father expressed the belief that
any effort to reduce the evil was a step in
the right direction.
