M~uRDEROus ASSAULT.

Arthur Marshall Attacks David Moody with
Possibly Fatal Results.
Last Monday afternoon, while a large
crowd of horse swappers were gathered
in the vicinity of the Baptist church, a
quarrel arose between Arthur Marshall,
colored, and some white men, among
whom was a young man named Moody,
from near Fall Branch. 1t is said Mar
shall attacked two or more of them, but
Moody was the only one hurt, and he
had his skull crushed by a stone thrown
by Marshall. After hitting Moody, Mar
shall started out the Blountville Road
iii search Of another victim, but a large
crowd. among which was officer Camp
bell, followed him, and the officer soon
had him in custody, and started to town
with him. A great crowd surrounded
the officer and his prisoner, and threats
of lynching were heard, but Cambell,
assisted by Mayor Britton, soon landed
their man in Jail, and the crowd left.
In the meantime Moody had been TIA
ken to the office Of DIR. Stuart, and his
injuries examined, when it was found
that his skull had been terribly crushed,
the fracture extending from behind the
right ear, where blow was dealt, to the
front. Pieces of the skull had been driv-
en- into the brain, and at first it was sup
posed the injury would be fatal. After
the wound was attended to the chances
for recovery seemed better, and on Tues
day morning the young man was resting
more comfortably.

AT Rocky Valley, in an adjoining
county, there was buried last week a
prominent man who might yet be an
ornament to society, had he not neg
lected the advice of his friends, to such
an extent, that he can be said to have
died by his own wish. Mr.. Jones had
at first a slight cold, neglected it it be-
came serious. His friends advised the
great cough remedy, Symphyx. He re-
fused every appeal by his friends. As
q natural result he grew worse and
died. Ye that are suffering with coughs
and colds beware that you do not lay
yourself liable to the same charge and
fill a premature grave, but take Sym
phyx at once and live.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
Drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

On Thanksgiving evening we had the
pleasure of attending the exercises
given in honor of the day by the school
at Valley View under the care Of our
worthy teacher, Prof. j. W. Hilbert,
and his accomplished Assistant, Miss
Mollie E. Butler. Great pains must
have been taken by those teachers in
selecting the pieces and arranging the
program, as the whole of the entertain
ment was one of the most entertaining
and appropriate we have witnessed.
Every Objectionable feature common
on such occasions in many instances
were excluded. The children rendered
their pieces with honor and dignity,
and the very best of attention was
given them by the large audience pres
ent, showing how well good things of
an intellectual character can be ad-
mired. AT the conclusion short talks
were made by Rev. w. G. Wampler,
Superintendent w. II. Cox, Prof. 7. G.
