escaped without injury. But the bug

busted.

Dennis Scott, son of Prof. Scott for
merly principal of the De Soto schools
and also county school commissioner,
was sent to Jail from De Soto last Sun
day. He is charged with stealing lead.
Dennis was known as a bad wild boy
when his parents lived in this county.
He was one of the incorriglble kind
who are liable to be produced by the
best families, who think they are wiser
than their parents and like to show
their wisdom by playing truant aud
doing many other forbidden things.
While but little fellow he in COM
pany with another bad boy ran away
from home and were found stranded at
Jefferson City--.Tefersom Democrat
Geo. A. Wlthers, Cashier OF the
Farmers and and Merchants Bank at
Piedmont, paid visit to this place last
Tuesday. That night he left for home.
Next morning "wednesday his dead
body was found in the lower eqd of the
railroad yards at Piedmont. The skull
was fractured in two places. The
head was lying in a pool of blood
against the rail of the main track.
The deceased might have Iallen from
the train and been killed, but the Pied |
mont authorities seem to think it a
case of murder; but if such is the case
robbery was not the motive, as his |
watch. money and other valuables |
were found on the body. Mr.. With |
ers was about fifty-five years of age
and was one of Piedmont's most high |
ly respected citizens. Every effort |
will be made to clear up the mystery |
his death.
Tie military ball by Troop tx"

successful and enjoyable affair. The
hall had been tastily decorated for the
occasion and a profusion of flags and |
bunting of red, white and blue rem

a military entertainment. There were
in attendance about fifty couples and |

ell of the Blue Store supplied the re-
freshments and delighted the guests
with a most delicious aud appetizing

every reason to be satisfied at the sue

DR.. H. NJ. Jones has an artesian well
on his place from which stream of
clear. cold water has flowed for sever
al years. One day last week the
stream failed. The DR.. then put "a
pump in the we'll. but the water Sc
cured by the pump is Of milky hue.
and filled with sediment of some kind.
The fact that the well-which is near
ly three hundred and fifty feet deep
has steadily flowed stream of water
for years. varying neither in dry nor
wet weather, renders it somewhat diff
fcult to satisfactorily account for the
present sudden and unwelcome failure
The most plausible theory advanced is
that the channel through which the
water that supplies the well flows. has,
in some way or other, been closed up. |
