A DlSGRACEFUL AFFRAY.


One Badly Cut.
MACON, Ga, Feb. 1S.--A disgraceful
affray took place between Arthur Dashei
and Hope Pophill, two young lawyers,
in the ladies parlor of the public library
Tuesday. The young men were acting
as commissioners in a railroad case when
a dispute arose as to some point to be
recorded in the papers they were draw
ing up. Pophill called Dasher a scoun-
drel when the latter retaliated by striking
Pophill in the face. Pophill tried to re-
spond in kind, but Dasher warded off
his blows, at the same time opening a
small pocket knife with which he then
proceeded to carve up his opponent.
When the men We're finally separated
Pophill had an ugly dash in the top Of
his head, another across his forehead, a
third from his eye down to his lip and an
ugly wound in his wrist. Dasher will
probably be arrested. He says the cut
ting was done in self f-defense.

NOT ALL IN GIVING,
A Few Timely Suggestions for the Re-
ceivers of Gifts.

A Few Timely Suggestions for the Re-
ceivers of Gifts.
From the receivers standpoint all
gifts may be divided into things that
we want and things that we don't want
1t takes no particular skill or grace to
receive things that we want. but as, in
times of general giving like Christmas,
the larger part Of the gifts we get are
things that we don't want, that branch
of receivership is worth attention. The
two ordinary reasons for not wanting
things are the vulgar one that they do
not strike us as intrinsically desira BILE,
and the more complex reason that we
don't want to receive them from the
particular giver A general remedy APP
plicable to reluctances due to either of
these causes is to keep strenuously
in the mind the happiness of
the giver in giving. Remem boring
that you are delighted with
tribe from some one you love, because it
makes you happy to have been even
passively instrumental in procuring
him the happiness Of giving; applying
the same principle, you can accept ever
SO cosby gut from some one Tor WnOm
you care little without any irksomc
sense of obligation, since, of course, the
giver had the best of it, any way, and
it is a great deal kinder and more gen
crous to sacrifice ones personal inclina-
tions and accept than to refuse Re-
member persistently that by receiving
with due grace you secure to another
person desirable form of happiness.
After all, little children do it best.
They are the superlative receivers, and
it is because they are that we delight
to give them things. They are frankly
and delightfully."- appreciative: Obliga-
tions set as lightly on them as the air.
They value their gifts simply by the
pleasure they get out of them, and pre-
fer a rag baby to the deed of a brick
house They take jumping jack from
Mary, the laundress and jeweled pin
from Aunt Melinda Cr9sus, without
the least distinction of happy approval.
The nearer we get to their guilessness,
the nearer we approach perfection in
receiving, and in all the Christmas at.

shooting and killing a steer in that

court, Judge H. &. Fuller, supported
the demurrer on the ground of the
want of jurisdiction of his court
He cited that in territorial DAYS
Hughes county was IN the Fifth judicial
district and that Nowlln county was
attached to it for judicial purposes;
that by the acceptance of the constitu-
ton under statehood Hughes county
became part of the Sixth judicial cir
cult and Nowlin a part of the Seventh
judicial circuit, and was attached to
Meade county for taxation purposes
only. and that it has not been ATTACHED
to any county for judicial purposes at
all; that Nowlin county is not organ

place, either in the state or in the United
States, for judicial purposes, and con-
sequently his court has no jurisdiction
