had warrant for a colored woman

ecute his mission large cat !eapel
from he upper porch in the back yard
OF the premises and landed squarcly on
his head. Astoundcd. the policeman
beat hasty retreat, declaring that ne
would not again invade premises where
eats are used as weapons. Il is learned
that the woman subsequently put in az
appearance at the Mayors Office, and
as the policeman, in his kindness of

assault, from which many of our citi-

the acting Mayor imposed the small
fine of $3.50 for disordelIy conduct.

usual help on the farm; extra holp may
be necessary In husking.
An acre Of good corn will contain
eighteen good sized shocks; tho cost of
cutting, husking, binding fodder into
