Assignment I'm JOnesbOrO.

The continued depression and ina
bility to collect made it necessary for
j. j. Hunt, hardware merchant, to
make a general assignment October 4,
1893, for the benefit of his creditors.
Capt. l. E. Reeves and DR.. M. II. p. Pan
horst are made assignees to take charge
of all Mr.. Hunts property real and
personal and dispose of the same for
the benefit of Mr.. Hunts creditors who
number 46 as shown Schedule 3D."
with claims aggregatiug $21, 500. 81.
The assets consist of Britton's drug
store building the steam mill and ware
house in J~onesboro, and several lots in
Carnegie, on which no value is fixed.
Stock of goods valued at $4,000, 1900
bushels of wheat. notes $1,000 &C
counts and judgements, 81, 900 or more,
and various miscellaneous items
amounting to several hundred dollars.
The assignes are authorized to CON
tinue the hardware store, until they
can find a purchaser for the whole stock
or for six months, after which the
goods are to be sold to the highest bid
der.
1t is believed and hoped the assets
will cover all liabilities. Some of the
large claims are secured in such a way
as to insure their payment in full.
Mr.. Hunt deserves the sympathy of
the people, because a fair valuation of
his assets mor than covers his liabili-
ties, and the pressure of Democratic
hard times must be held responsible for
Jonesboro's first assignment.
Mr.. Hunt is comparatively a young
man, and will we predict surmount this
financial reverse and resume business
at an early date.

society Of that day. At the. next bust

member of q secular society as helpful
to moral reformation he at once admit
ted that the help afforded by the society
was stronger than that of the church,
thus placing temperance society In ad-

The result was that the reverend gen.

few months later a member was called
up for getting drunk at an old fashiohed

was present at the trial and during its

Hungry Hawk.
A,white featheTal chicken in search Of
worms strsyod from tho yard Of Fesd-
ing Hills farmer early Sunday afternoon
aud was soon scratching tnerrily IN the
black loan Of o swamp near by. A big
ben hawk that was sailing lasily along
far up Ia the sky tipped an eye down
ward and saw the little white chick.
The hawk had had no dinner and was
very hungry. The big, hungry hawk
suddenly shot down like stone, and be-
tore the chick could run or clucls, OF even
Gap her funny little wings. she was IN
the hawks cruel claws
The farmer was in wagon near the
barn and did not see the hawk with Zap
ping wings rise into the air clutching
tight the little white chick, frightened
and still. But perched upon some trees
the other side of the swamp were eight
black crows. They had seen 1t all. Put
ting their eight heads together these
crows consulted hurriedly, and then,
with loud, defiant chorus of "caw, cav,
cav" they took wing. The bird Of prey
had not risen fifty feet into the air before
the crows had completely surrounded
him.
They pecked Mt him above, below, In
front and behind. They would rise
many feet above and shoot downward
one after the other at the hawk with the
swiftness and celebrity Of swallows. The
hawk, burdenel with the breathless
chick, could not endure the savage on
set and soon sank among the trees. But
the crows. crying "caw, cav" more de-
family than before, beat upon him still,
and at last the hawk dropped the chick
and angrily dashed upward again.
= For minutes the battle ragged over the
tree tops. The hawk was fierce in his de-
fense, but the crows, using the same tao
tics as before, gradually droveh him higher
and higher still, until finally discounted
and thoroughly beaten, the bird Of prey
sailed off to the south, whittier he was
followed miles and miles by two of the
more pugnacious crows. The others

disappeared.
