We wish to remind some Of our yonng
bird hunters that the last legislature /
changed the law to the LIST OF November, |
instead of the 18th OF September, as here
tofore. Be careful or you will get your
self in trouble Humboldt Leader
During the thunder shower this morn
ing about o'clock, Maud the 19-year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie
Bevill, was struck and instantly killed
by bolt of lightning. The little girl had
gotten mp and gone to the back porch
when there came q vivid flash of light
ming followed by report which alarmed
the mother and she ran out to tell her to
come into the house, when she found her
lying ON the floor dead, and her clothing
in flames. The cruel stroke had done
we'll its work and her little spark of life
had gone out.-Humboldt Leader.
Quite novel case came up before a
magistrate in Henderson County recent
ly. A right of property was to be tried.
On the day Of trial the justice knowing
that there were i'll feelings existing be-
tween the parties, and when court conven-
ed, suggested that they kneel in prayer
and ask God to help them settle it among
themselves, all parties being willing they
went to the Lord in prayer, after which
the parties in the suit went out and in
friendly, christianlike manner settled the
dispute without resortng to the law.
This, no doubt, was the best mode Of
bringing about a settlement, for il they
had carried it to the courts it would have
cost them some money, and not only that,
but bad feelings would have existed.
Many law suits could, no doubt, be set
tied in this way.-Parsons Messenger.
The Chattanooga Times cautions its
readers to look out for counterfeit silver
dollars. There are numbers of them now
being circulated in the city, coming from
where no one knows, of course, but they
are here and hardly day has passed in
the last two weeks but from one to five
of the "queer" coins have been discov-
cred. On Saturday no less than three
turned up at one place of business, In
each case the persons having the coun-
terfeits were above reproach and it was
evident that they had been previously
3 swindled. The base coin in circulation is
very dangerous one. It not only has
Z the right weight, but good "silver y
, ring. However, it is slightly off in color
being somewhat lighter and brighter, anC
also in rubbing it between the fingers the
coin will be found to be somewhat rough
> Another way to spot the coin is to bite OF
it. Then it will feel brittle as though
there was glass in the composition.
