Serious Row in Wilkes.

A few days ago up at Stony Hill,
Wilkes County. Gerge Vickers and his
step-son, Pink Vickers, got on d drunk
en- spree and fell out. Pink went at
his step-father with his knife and cut
him very severely, making five or six
gaShes on his 0ack and cutting him in
the side to the hollow. George, the
old man, struck his step-son across the
head with a waterlevel making a dan
gerous wound. They are both confined
to their beds and the physician has
little hope of the recovery of old man
Vickers, says the Chronicle.

BIBLE AGENT IN WILKES,
Three Drunken Men Threaten to Gu

His Throat,
A report comes from the Fork of
Roaring River, Wilkes county, which
if true is almost too dastardly and
devilish to be believed. The report is
that Rev. Mr.. Troy, the Bible col
portuer, was holding service up there
one night. During the service one
Wesley Harris and two Garris boys
came there drunk and began curs1ng
Mr.. Troy, swearing they would cut
his throat. They were taken away,
but Harris returned repeating his
threats. He was again taken away
and came back the third time, swear
ing if they didn't let him in to kill
Troy he would cut his horse all to
pieces. He was again taken away
and Mr.. Troy left. The Chronicle
says that if the report is true Harris
and his comrades ought to be hung.

ABOUT TWILIGHT.
1t Is the Hour When Malaria Gets
in Its Worst Work.

Chicago News-Record.
The special danger of the sunset hour
in malaIial regions may be owing to the
following conditions:
The microbes, or spores, concentrate
at a level little above the ground, eX-
actly as one may observe the dust OF
carriages in the road in thick, hOri-
ZOntal layer settle on a warm, moist
evening; then there is no lifting 10y as
cending air currents, but a sort OF beat
ing down to low level, and their CO.
heTence is caused by the disposition OF
vapor on the dust PARTICLES as the air
cools.
Thus, over a dried marsh there would
be great condensation of microbes or
spores, which could no longer dispense.
They would gather about the height of
a mans head, just as we see a ground
fog in still, moist air after warm day In
autumn: the organisms were given off
while the surface of the ground was
warm, and they accumulate a little
above it as radiation carries off the heat
and cools the lowest stratum Of air.
About sunset the earth is still warm
and eXhaleS moisture into the air above
it. and with the earth vap0r organisms
are largely given off. The human body
is at that time most susceptible to their
action, because the rapid cooling of the
skin drives the blood to the inner sur
faces of the throat. and these congested
inner sur aces favor the incubation by
germs drawn in with the breath.
Later in the night the organisms have
largely sunk by their own weight and
that of deposited dew, and, moreover,
the cooled body is not so much open to
the attack of germs remaining in the air.

ST. Louis Republic.
The two most remarkable epitaphs in
the United States are those of Daniel
Barrew, formerly of Sacramento, CAL,
and of Hank Monk. Horace Greeley's
stage driver. The former reads as fol-
lows:
Here is laid Daniel Barrow, who was
born in Sorrow and Borrowed little
from nature except his name and his
love to mankind and his hatred for red
skins. VINO was nevertheless gentle
man and dead shot; who through a
long life never killed his man except
in self-defense or by accident, and
who, when he at last went under
beneath the bullets of his cOwardly
enemies in jeff. Morris saloon, did
so in the sure and certain hope of
a glorious and everlasting morrow"
Hank Monks epitaph reads thus:
Sacred to the memory Of Hank Monk,
the whitest, biggest hearted and best
known stage driver Of the West, who
was kind to all and thought i'll of none.
He lived in strange era and was a
hero, and the wheels of his coach are
now ringing in the golden streets"
