sister, Mrs. Travis, left last night,
,, Thursday, for Caddo, i. T. where they
reside. Time has dealt lightly with
our former friend and nieghbor as her
genial face evidences to all beholders.
Mrs. Maggie Cadenhead, of Carthage,
left on the same train on a visit to rel
atives and friends at Utica, Kinds
county. While in Canton, these ladies
were the guests Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
Hall.
Marshal Owens informs us we were
mistaken in stating his salary had been
raised. We make the above correction
in justice to Mr.. Owen as it is not our
Intention to wrong or injure any one.
Whenever we are wrong in any way,
we will always have the honest, fear
less, manhood to admit it and set our.
selves right as soon as possible. While
on this subject it is but just to state
that j. M. Leitch was the only uember
voting against raise of salaries.
Major Geo. M. Govan, State Secre-
tary, and Mr. R. Nv. Durfey, have

deal to both callings.
At the suggestion of certain gentle
men to raise car load of corn for the
northwestern farm suffers, the TINES
calls upon all who desire to do so to
call at the office and subscribe as many
bushels as they feel bic, or to bring
the corn to the warehouse of George
Shackleford. Ten bushels from forty
men will make car load of 400 bush
els. Aside from the charitable view of
the question, which should certainly
appeal strongly to our people, it will
be fine advertisement of our section |
to immigrants. We think the railroad
will transport it free of charge and
will see if this can be done through our
local agent.
There is good reason for the popu-

Davis & Buzard, of West Monterey, |
Clarion Co., Pa, say: sit has cured |
peop.e that our physicians could do
nothing for. We persuaded them to
try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough |
Remedy and they now recommend it

A young negro boy by the name of
Jim Goodloe. laboring under charge
of house breaking, and assault with
knife upon Mrs. Boutwell,, in the vicin-
ity of Camden, failing in his efforts,
escaped to Canton. Goodloe being ar
rested and brought back to the scene
of his crime, was shot and killed by
Riley Boutwell,, husband of the lady
named. Boutwell, was placed under
q $3.50 bond. Such occurrences are ex-
tremely unfortunate in any aspect they
may be regarded, producing double
trouble but so long as human passion,
love of home and home ties exist we
may expect such scenes to be enacted.
