A Novel Law Suit.

The question as to where a thresh-
ing outfit should go from the farm of
John Passwaters, near Milford, was
the direct cause of much ill-feeling
among several farmers in that neigh
borhood last week. A discussion
arose and ended in blows. John Sip
pie desired the machine to go to his
house and was firm in his demands.
He was afterwards chased from the
yard. He entered suit against six of
his farmer friends for assault. One
of the number was fined SO and
costs, and the rest were dismissed.
They are now about to sue Sipple for
trespass and damages, claiming that
they had to stop the machine on his
account, putting them day behind
with their work. And the end is not

Dimculties Settled Before the squire.

For using disrespectful Language, daring
him outside his place of business, and u.s.
ing stone to back up his action, John
Stuart, a a12-year-old lad, was slapped in the
face by Jacob Heintz on donday evening.
Stuart took his revenge on a 10-year-old
son of Heintz a short time afterward while
he was delivering beef to a customer for
his father. The younger boy was thrown
down and his meat completely ruined. A
little while after while young Stuart was
standing near the merry -gO-round' on
Anderson street Mr.. Heintz, the elder,
came up and breaking switch from a
nearby tree gave Stuart sound whipping.
The sequel to these little acts was law
suit before Squire Ferguson. Mr.. Stuart,
the elder charged Heintz with assault and
battery on his son. The evidence showed
that young Stuart had received slight
bodily injuries, but not of serious nature,
and the Squire imposed fine and costs
upon the defendant, which amounted to
1925. Later evidence which should have
been given at the trial, but which was not
proves that young Stuart's injuries were re-
ceived by running against an obstruction
while trying to get out Of the way Of the
switch. Be this as it may, the matter has
been settled between the lads fathers, and
the elder of the boys will be looked after
closer in the future.

Oamp-Meetings and Attending Evils.


Rev. w. III. Thomas of Smyrna,
preached last Thursday evening at
the annual camp-meeting of Dale's
A. M. E. Church on Lake street. He
is plain, sensible speaker and more
intelligent than the average minister
of his race. A number of white peo-
plo were present and remained during
the service.
Mr.. Thomas breaches practical
religion" as he terms it, and on the
occasion named stated some very
plain facts which were hardly expect
ed by his hearers. He strongly de-
nounced the various money-making
schemes which are invariably found
on the camp ground Of the present
day and said they we're merely species
of gambling. He took no part in
those held by his own people. Mr..
Thomas is an advanced thinker of
his race and breaches sound doctrine.
We leave the reader to consider if be
is far wrong in his ideas concerning
many camp-meetings.
