/ Ed. ReglSter-Ihe glorious Fourth
| will be upon us with all its patriotism,
fights, frolics and picnics; and as sort
of fore runner, this week began in
war and ended in war at Annapolis.
The fair sex opened the ball Mon
day, by having a three cornered jam
| boree. Mrs. Joseph Boyet and Miss
Maud Lloyd attacked Mrs. Ruble on the
street, and proceeded to the more
| masculine argument of fist and skull.
Later in the day, they contributed to
the support of the State and its officers,
to the amount of nine dollars and a
half, each. No further hostilities
from that quarter developed during
| the week, but the boys (not to be out
done by the gentler sex) ended the
week in a grand display of muscle,
manhood (?) and profanity. An eye
witness said the air was full OF fists,
resembling a jolly old Irish wake.
Two young men by the name of Lloyd,
and one by the name of Guilians from
the county. Lucian and Irving Hack
worth and Thos. Boyet, of this city,
are said to be the belligerents. Since
the smoke of battle has cleared away,
the work of burying the dead and car
ing for the wounded has proceeded in a
systematic manner. The dead are
..Alco Holl, '.Whiskey Straight, "''San-
dy Bluff and ssI'm Horse. The seri-
ously wounded, are american Pride, ;"
.sSimon p. Buster" and I'D. Yelling
ton Brag." 1t is also rumored that.sGul-
liver Loquacity" got slight wound by
running against a wall in his anxiety
to turn a corner before reaching it.
But suppose We will learn the extent
of his Injuries, when the Outlook comes
out. ..Demma j. Stopper" and Brandy
b. Cork" are among the missing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lence and Mrs. Rock
we'll are at home once more from, the
Worlds Fair.
JAS Smiley also returned from the
St. Louis hospital, much improved in
health.
There was a show in town Tuesday
evening. There was no street parade;
there was no band, there was no ele-
phant; there was no lion Or liones5; no
tiger or tigeress; no bear, nor even
jack-rabbit. There was fox. few
dogs, a few snakes, and few lazy louis
of men and women, who looked as if
life was burden to them, and the
whole outfit was drawn by six horses
that would have been good subjects for
students of anatomy. The whole out
fit looked to be fresh from the back
woods, and l don't think they took
over six bits from Annapolis.
Warren Hamilton, little step son Of
Noah Harris, slipped into the house OF
Eustice Rockwell while Mrs. r. was
out. and stole a gold watch and fifty
cents in money. Mr.. Rockwell heard
of his spending the money and inform
ed Mr.. Harris. who accused Warren of
the theft. He at first denied it, but
finally confessed and produced the
watch. Warren is about twelve years
old. Only few days ago he placed a
blank cartridge in a gun, and fired it in
the face of Dick Harmon, so close that
the powder burned his face.
Harry Taylor was in town Saturday.
ID. D.. G. NJ. Sizemore installed the
officers of Granite Lodge Saturday
evening.
Mrs. Vickery, from Arkansas, is
