Something New a Revelation in Knives.

Every housekeeper knows only too
we'll the difficulty of obtaining a ser
viceable, successful bread knife. When
bread is the least newly baked-still
warm and soft-the ordinary bread
knife will not cut the bread at all. In
fact, the ordinary knife is a failure
and will not cut bread successfully un-
til the bread begins to dry out or be-
come stale.
The Christy bread knife will slice
the warmest and newest bread in as
thin slices as bread can eversbe cut. 1t
does the work smoothly and neatly and
easily. 1t is the only "sure enough
and satisfactory bread knife in the
market. The patent cake knife and
pairing knife are also superior to any
in the market. The blades of the
knives are solid steel and triple plated
to prevent rusting. Call and examine
them at Sweeny's "Corner,n Robert l.
Sweeny being sole agent for them

Shooting ARRAY.

This morning about six o'clock Nj.
+. Anderson and Jack Edmunds, Qatter
known as "One-armed JackD, met out
on State Line Avenue, near Sand Flat,
when Edmunds drew pistol and shot
Anderson, the ball taking effect in the
face near the nose, coming out on the
opposite side Of the head near the ear.
Andersons wound is considered dan
gerous, but not necessarily fatal. Ed
munds gave himself up to officers, and
is now in the Miller county jail.
1t will be remembered that about
six weeks ago the same parties had a
difficulty over a family affair, and
Anderson then shot Edmunds with a
shotgun loaded with bird shot, the
load taking effect in his face. Ed.
munds said at that time, we learn,
that he would ''get even with his
antagonist, and it seems that he has
carried out the threat, he having re-
covered, and first opportunity present

A "cut and Dried" Ticket.

in the p. P. County Convention, held
at the court house yesterday, some ac-
count of which we gave in yesterdays
f'Me, together with the ticket nomi-
n%S'd, an amusing incident occurred,
VIII. h conclusively proved that it was
a "cut and dried affair throughout
Mr.. W. w. CarlOss was Chairman and
George Brakeman Secretary of the
body. Only one man was placed in
nomination for each Office, aud Chair
man Carloss, as is the custom, put the
question for ballot. When time came
for selecting Circuit clerk,
he hesitated, and Secretary Brakeman
got up and said that as Mr.,
Carloss, their worthy chairman, "was
on the ticket" for clerk, he would put
question to vote-then somebody else
noting the secretary's break, inter-
rupted him, and placed Mr.. CarlOss'
name in nomination regularly.
This, taken in connection with
the fact of their closed
door meeting in the morning, and
that only one name was voted ON for
each Office, gives the "cut and dried"
work of the bosses away.
The people will not endure such
dark and tricky methods.
