ney of Mississippi county, and well
known in this county, was dangerous
ly cut by George Lynn, in street
alteration, at Charleston, last Wed

Rumors vary as to the particulars
of the atfray, but it seems that Mr..
Elliott was the aggressor and slapped
Mr.. Lynn, whereupon the latter drew
out his knife and began to carve or
Mr.. Elliott, cutting him twice in the
face, once across the throat, once in
the region of the heart and oucc in
the back.
The first news that reached Benton
was to the effect the Mr.. Elliott was
killed, but NEwsBoY reporter re-
turned from Charleston Thursday
noon and brought the information
that he was still alive and improving,
and that the doctors have hopes OF
his recovery. Although the weather
is against him, he is a man of strong
constitution and We hope for his re-
covery.

Published Every Thursday.

During the past year the conduc-
tors of the Post-Dispatch have been
many times urged to publish a Week
ly edition. The requests have come
chiefly from farmers, laborers and
others, who are not so situated that
they can take or read a Daily news
paper. Similar requests have come
from postmasters,. news agents and
others who are in close touch with
the people.
In compliance with these requests,
which seem to indicate a widespread
popular demand, the publication of
The Weekly st. Louis Post-Dispatch
will be begun on Thursday, May II.
1t will be an eight-page newspaper
consisting almost entirely of reading
matter-carrying little or no adver-
tising.
1t will be issued once q week (on
Thursdays), at the extremely low
price of 80 cents year. AS the OBJ
ject of the publishers is to furnish a
weekly newspaper for the masses of
the people, it was deemed preferable
to publish a regular once-a-week
weekly at half the regular price,
rather than q twice-a-week issue at
the usual price of 81 a year.
1t will, like the Daily Post-Dis,
patch, be a newspaper for the people
championing western men and meas,
ures, and standing for those policies,
the success of which is essential tc
the prosperity of the masses of the
people in the west and south, and il
the country at large.
The Post-Dispatch is known as the
only metropolitan newspaper that
uncompromisingly advocates the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 tt
l, and that steadfastly resists the
encroachments of plutocracy and cor
poration influence in politics. 1t i.
also known as the livliest, most en-
terprising, most readable and bes
illustrated newspaper in ST. Louis
The qualities that have distin
guished the Daily Post Dispatch viii
also characterize the Weekly Post
Dispatch. 1t will be crisp, bright
readable, and we'll illustrated. Ii
addition to all the news and the cream
of public discussion, it will contain
the best of the editorials in the Dali,
Post Dispatch; short stories, help
full women's department, gossi1
about men and women who attai
prominence, political Cartoons, an
plenty of fun and humor.
During the campaign it will kee
its readers informed on political dc
velopments and the progress ol
events throughout the country.
Subscription price, by mail, pre-
paid, 80 cents year. For the cam
paign, until Dec. l, 25 cents, or Z

How to Reach Good Trade.

The Newsboy circulates among
those who own their homes and are
interested in the welfare of the
county. 1t circulates among those
who are able to pay for a paper, or
anything else they want. Such are
the people whom the advertisers
want to reach, and the way to reach
them is through the Newsboy. Our
rate may be a little higher than those
papers that circulate on an almanac
basis, but we have only one rate, and
you may always rest assured that
you are not paying three times as
much as your neighbor.

A FREE COINAGE LESSON.

When the employees Of the Cone
Export & Commission company's
big flushing mills at Greensboro,
S. c., were paid off on last Saturday
they were doubtless highly elated
over the apparent discovery that
the circulating medium had sud-
denly increased and that their
wages had gone up corresponds
ingly, giving practical illustra>
ton Of the benefits that woulc!
accrue to labor from increasing the
medium.
Each employee received twice rs
many silver dollas as usual, but
when they went to pay their
grocery bills they found that ii took
ten of these silver dollars to liqui-
date a $5 Indebtedness. They were
Mexican dollars.
The firm doubtless took this
method of paying off to impress
upon their employees the fallacy of
the arguments offered by the ad-
vocates of a short dollar. While
the illustration is very apt one as
showing the fact that doubling the
wages and paying off with 50-cent
dollars is no advantage to labor il
was not a complete illustration OF
tie fraudulent logic used by the
champions of free coinage at the
Is to l rati0.
To give the workmen a correct
idea Of the effect of free coinage or
labor the firm should have giver
each employee the same number o
Mexican dollars that he usually
received in American dollars.
This would have been drastic
but it would have driven the lessor
home with good effect. Free coin
age of silver at 16 to / will decrease
the purchasing power of a siIve
dollar just one-half. But it will
never increase the wages of labor
Wages will remain where they are
Free coinage would, therefore, rOl
labor for the enrichment of tn
employer.-Chicag Tribune.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1896-07-30

If every one of the 100000 PEN
si0ners of Ohio does not work with
tooth and nail, with heart and soul,
with mind and body against free
coinage, he or she does not know
on which side his or her bread is
buttered. If the contention of the
silver men is correct, there is bound
to come, after free coinage, a rise
in prices. The producer will get
part of the advantage of the rise,
and part only. The consumer will
feel the entire weight and burden
of it. In so far as pensioners are
consumers, just in so far they will
suffer. Their $12 a month will buy,
If the notions of the free silver men
are right-just one-half what that
sum buys to-day. The practical
effect would be to cut down the
purchasing power of the money
Uncle Sam is distributing to-day
among his heroes from 40 millions
to 20 millions. Many people are
interested in this, but no State has
the interest in it of Ohio. For Ohio
has larger number of pensioners
than any other State in the Union.
