Bay Jettun, a young farmer re-
siding in Prairie Gregg near Nor.
gan's gin, had a rather. exciting
adventure one night last week. He
was awakened about midnight by a
noise in the room in which he and
family were sleeping and looking
out from the mosquito bar saw a
man standing near the bed of one
of his children, jumping ont of bed
he called to the intruder, asking
what he wanted. lie then recog-
nized him as q negro named Far.
rington, who had formerly worked
for him but who had lately been
discharged; receiving 40 answer be
advanced upon him when Earring
ton drew a knife. Jettun then
grabbed a chair and sprang to the
door to prevent bis escape and
cried loudly for help. 1t was some~
time before any of the neighbors
arrived, and meanwhile Jettuu held
the negro at bay with the chair,
despite bis efforts to stab him with
the knife. When Mr.. Tapkeh and
others arrived, the negro made a
sudden break and catching Jetthn
off guard dashed out the door and
was soon out of sight in the corn
field. Search was made all the
next day to find the scamp, but no
avail. Geo. E. Lyons and Henri
Montague constables for the third
ward, went over to Crowley where
the finally succeeded in locating
their man and arresting him brought
him back here and placed him in
Jail. On Saturday night it ia re.
ported that q body Of about 40
regulators from Prairie Gregg
came to town to take the negro out
Of Jail and hang him, but if the.
report be true they we're very quiet
and did not harm the prisoner who
ia still in Jail. ....

There is mistaken idea that "oul-

little, to dance a little and to quote
passages from late popular books. AS a
matter of fact, culture means nothing
Of the kind. Culture means mastery
over self-politeness, charity, fairness,
good temper, good conduct. Culture is
not thing to make a display of. Ii is
something to use so modestly that peo-
