are the wheat crop, especially the

the happiest men in the county.

the youth handsomely.

d passed off very pleasantly.

:, ~ Following the escape Of Georg
Il r. Hicks, Of Big Sandy, from the ia
at Paris the l1th inst, a warrant we
sworn out for his two sisters VIII
= aided the prisoner to escape. The
70 waived examination before JustiC
IL w. I. Snow at Paris Tuesday
last week, and were released @
ar bail of $1,000 each. The impre

he charged, and we doubt ifa jury CT
in be found who will convict the tv
sisters for aiding in the escape
W. their brother.
