last Saturday, bringing him to towr
and lodging him in Jail. The case
came up before Squire Dinger for tria
on Tuesday morning; Mary under oath
declared that Lavender had hit hel
over the eye with a shoe; other evil
dence which was afterwards introduced
however, tended to show that Mary
was not always as peaceful as a lamb,
but that on the contrary at times she
had most violent temper, and did
not hesitate to vent her spleen on her
liege lord and master. Taking all the
facts into consideration, the court
concluded that Lavender was as much
sinned against, as he was guilty of
SHINING. and accordingly ordered his
discharge. After this decision the hus-
band took his departure separately and
the wife afterwards followed, they
having mutually resolved that in future
their lives shall be spent apart.
Rev. Mr.. Aspley returned from the
Conference at West Plains, last night.
the removal of the school from Gale
donia. The committee of seven, to
whom the Conference delegated the
matter are all firsc-class men, six of
them being business men, DR.. Finney
being the only minister on the COM
mittee. 1t was the sentiment of the
conference, as weakling, the school
might as we'll remain at Caledonia,
and the removing is to strengthen the
institution. To that end therefore,
they are asking S25, 900 from the To-
cality that get the school. This is all
right AMI is in accord with what the
Facts has suggested, and we believe
that $25. 900 can be raised in Jefferson
county, but this donation should be
coupled with a guaranty on the part OF
the committee that the Conference, or
the committee for the Conference, will
put up like amount. This, Mr.. Asp
ley thinks, they will do, and. if it is
found that, with our $25, 900, the COM
mittee will meet our donation with
their $25, 900, then let us get to work
again and raise the amount they ask
for.-De Soto Facts.
Our brother of the Facts evidently
hasn't heard the ult,n,atum of the late
Our Information is that
it was something like this: 'No, De
Soto cannot have the school under any
we do not want to go to
any town dominated by the saloons and
gamblers" How, Bro. Veazey, can
such charge against De Soto be made
to stick?
