CASUALTIES IN WILKES.
A VARIETY OF "CORN IIOUORn
HAPPENINGS.
Husband Plays Havoc with His
Wife's Furniture Events.

Christmas, as general thing passed
off quietly in the State of Wilkes
1t, however, had a few casualties
caused by whiskey and other things,
number of which we have collected
for the information of the public,
says Bob Deal in his Cosmopolitan
Weekly.
Up in Trap Hill township Ed Hig-
gins and his father fell out about
something, and Ed made for him
with knife and hammer. His brother
Bill was present and ordered Ed to
stop, but Ed did not mind the order
and Bill pulled down on him with a
single tree, making a very ugly and
painful wound on his head.
Sunday morning, down in Rock
Creek township, Mark Wood got On a
bender, fell out with his wife, and
played havoc with the household and
kitchen furniture. He threw all the
dishes out and broke the new clock
which he had just recently purchased.
He has been up town since then and
replenished the broken hardware and
table ware.
Over at Obids, fellow went into
Mac ADSnerS store drunk and began
raising racket. Mr.. Absher, after
trying all milder means and failing,
tried the virtue of a stick On the side
of his head, making a bad wound and
completely splitting his ear.
We understand that a number of
boys, sometime last week, went to Mr..
D. A. Reece's, on the Brushes and
acted very badly, shooting pistols and
sOforth. They will probably be in
dicted.
We have heard of one fellow-did
not learn his name, nor exactly where
it happened-but it is the truth,
though-who drank a full gallon of
''bug juice" or in other words ''moun-
tain dew" and then broke into house
for more. They say he is still living
and doing well.
Up in Mulberry township, one night
during the holidays, a couple of fell
lows went to the home of a newly
married couple to Serenade them.
They became rather boisterous and
banged on the doors till the patience
of the married man was worn thread
bare. He arose with pair of knucks
on one hand and thirty-eight pistol
in the other, he opened the door and
began operations IN earnest. One of
them fell from severe blow of the
knucks and another is nursing very
sore arm which was penetrated by
one of the thirty-eight balls. The
ball went in just above the wrist and
lodged near the elbow joint. DR.. Hor-
ton extracted the ball.

Hog or No Hog in 1891.

The Union Republican says that
Winston will hold her municipal
election in February and the question
of hogs will take an important part,
and is already being freely discussed.
Two years ago there were good many
thousand pounds of pork on hand in
various homes at this season, paid for,
and the outlay scarcely missed Now
there is not a pound, only as pur-
chased at from 8 to u cents Of the
butchers, and many a family keenly
feel the need of it, especially with the
stringency in business matters and
consequent scarcity of employment.
To such, and they are not few, the
sanitary feature drops into insignti-
canoe, when old hard times is tapping
at the door, and visions of good, fat
porker or may be two of former years
fits across the visions, and with such
a spirit manifest, it would not sur
prise us in the least to see Winston,
through her next Board of Aldermen,
reinstate the pig-styes and their fes-
tive pOrkerS.

storms disappearing in the east, and
cold, fair weather following in most
parts, changing to warmer in the

and snow. During the 4th, 5th and

advance to the east, followed by ris-
ing barometer and cold wave from the

fair behind them. Rising tempera-
ture, with rain and snow, will return
on and about the 10th and dt11th. being
in transit from west to east for three
or four days, followed progressively
by cold. About the 18th, warmer

and snow onatheir track. Watch for
the date of their arrival in your part.

A Sad Farewell.

The following is the valedictory of
an Alabama paper that nourished (?)
in a town where talent was not appre-

of a tale of woe: "We this morning

literary tastes do not rise above the
patent medicine almanac, where the

and, to get a large circulation, ties
the cans to the tails of dogs, and the
bond bloated servants pick their

Adopted Young Pigs.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 5.-There is an
interesting anomaly on a ranch out
near Burbank. A gentleman who
moved out recently from the city and
commenced farming on small scale
for the benefit of his health, bought,
among other stock, a COW and eight
young pigs. After while it was no
ticed that the pigs thrived and rapid
ly grew fat, while the COW seemed to
be eating her head off and giving no
milk to speak of for family use. The
cause was soon discovered in the fact
that the little porkers were in the
habit of sucking the COW, and the lat
ter seemed to enjoy it immensely. In
fact, when she was shut up away from
the pigs, she mourned as though she
had lost her Offspring.

Is Suicide Catching

The suicide of Wilson Hartncss, in
Alexander county. recently. recalls d
curious circumstance. About twelve
years ago, James A dams. who lived in
the same neighborhood as Hartncss,
committed suicide by cutting his
throat. Hartness and CASTOR Ben
nett dressed the corpse. While en-
gagged in the cheerful occupation Of
laying out man who died by his own
hand they discussed the horrors Of
self destruction, and remarked to each
other that the last thing they would
do would be to kill themselves. Two
or three years later Bennett ended his
career by taking laudanum; and a few
days ago, as has been related, Hart
ness put one razor in his pocket, and
with another in his hand, took his
own life. And so it turned out as
they said in the presence of the dead
body of Adams; for the last thing that
either Of them did was to commit
suicide.

Lecture on Contagious Diseases.

DR. J J. Kinyoun, of the Marine
Hospital Service, Washington, d. c.,
delivered an able and interesting lect-
ure on contagious diseases before the
physicians and members of the Health
Boards of Winston and Salem. Several
other citizens were also in attend
ance. The lecture was delivered in
the Laboratory of the Salem Acade-
my. The diseases mentioned were
diptheria, cholera, yellow fever, etc
In his remarks on dirtheria he gave
steroptican views showing the various
stages of the disease. He said that
the germ of this disease sometimes
remained IN the system as long as
twenty days after the patient was able
to be up, and children who came in
contact with the afflicted patient was
as liable to contract the disease as
when the it was in its most aggra-
waited form.

The man who agrees with us doesn't
come around near often enough.
No matter where a good man lives
his house is always built on the rock.
No man can succeed in being happy
without asking God to tell him how.
Sin got foothold in this world by
making itself look harmless and little.
A prudent man doesn't tell every
thing lie knows every time he opens
his mouth.
If the Lord could trust his people
with money, every Christian would
own bank.

will lose it but seek it for ,others and
you will find it.-Ram's Horn.

The executive committee of the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly
met in Raleigh and appointed
Morehead City as the next
place or meeting. Nothing is said
about an election of officers, but prob
ably that was not the time and place
for it. In view of the furore raised
about Secretary Eugene Harrili's
Worlds Fair Excursion, last summer,
it was to have been expected that the
committee would have either vindi-
Gated him, or nailed his ears to the
town pump. The good of the Assem-
bly, demands that before plans are
laid for the year, this Harrill business
be settled. The Colonel may be all
right; but as matters now stand the

A Modern Tell.

a modern William Tell has come
forward in West Chester, Pa, in the
person of Corporal Nathaniel Leaf
Company 1, Wayne Fencibles. He is
one of the best shots in the national
guard of Pennsylvania. The other
day he took his wife out in the yard
and placed an apple on her head, he
took dozen PAGES from where she
stood, raised his rifle, took a long and
steady aim and pulled the trigger.
The bullet split the apple in two.
This woman evidently had more con-
fidence in her husband than the aver
age woman of today.
