SEVENTEENTH DISTRICT.

Once more the hum of the thresher
is heard in midst; so far an album
liant yield is reported, and our farmers
should feel encouraged in their labors.
Some of our most pushing farmers,
prophesying a dry fall, are turning the
sod for another crop. The rainy season.,
as we have it now, has put their corn
fields in such a condition that it will
take a prophet, or rather the editor of
an agricultural paper, to tell them how
to rid their corn fields of snakes and
other reptiles accustomed to infest
weeds and briar patches, but likely
they would be encouraged to go on
with their good work by one of the re
vised epigrams: "If at first you don't
succeed, just keep sucking until you
do suck seed" The general health
of our community is very good. The
little daughter of Jacob Fellers, who
has been sick during the past week, is
now we are glad to say convalescent.
Death, the unconquered champion of
time, has visited our midst once more,
and has taken one of our most sub.
stantial citizens; William Arnold died
last Thursday night and was laid to
rest the following afternoon, the 9th,
in the Brethren cemetery. He leaves
a wife and two small children to mourn
the loss of a father and husband. The
sympathy of the whole community ia
extended to the bereaved family and
friends. We are reliably informed
that the young people of the Campbell
school house Sunday School will OBJ
serve Childrens'Da the Third Sunday
afternoon in this month; we feel sure
that the children 8 part of the program
will merit attention; Rey. VIM. Lewis,
of Jonesboro, will deliver a lecture on
China to the children which will be
interesting and instructive to the older
as well. AN OLD CITIZEN.

SOCIETY NOTES.


Miss Ellic DeIIogan will leave soon for
Boston to perfect herself in English Lit
erature. Those of our older" inhabitants
who remember her father, old Pat Ho-
gan, will be much surprised at such a
course, for when Pat used to peddle in
this country he was n regular flannel
mouth freshman, and II was only after
his death that Bridget NOV Bidder ad.
ded the De- and went in for style.
Quite an enjoyable affair was the So
cial of the San Souci Club at the Palace
last Thursday night. All society was
resplendent in silks and jewels. The
party was c%haperoned by Mrs. Henry
William Toots in her usual happy man
ner. She is evidently well read, for
when one of the young ladies happened
to drop an article OF feminine apparel,
she picked it up and handed it to her,
and to the gentlemen standing around,
said: "lioney suet key mail in pans" =
Mrs. John Singleton Wilson will visit
her married daughter in Chattanooga
early in August. We would like to be
present at a swell society affair when
she is there; h wouldn't know a cotill-
ion from a cabbage.
Mrs. Judge Ellis Barnes gave a Purple
Tea last Tuesday; she is paralyzing
style lately. One of the neighbors asked
us the other day if we remembered the
time the old Judge came home drunk
n broke the dashboard oyer her head.
Miss Sarah Adkins Wellington will
probably spend the heated term at Cape
May or Long Branch. If old Ad Well
ington could come back from the spirit
world, he would shed his ribs to see the
money he made scraping hides in the
lanyard spent so freely.
Cards are out announcing the marriage
of Miss Florine AXley to John Wood
Vaughn, of West Virginia. We are glad
to know Miss Florine is getting off at
last, she has tried hard enough, and
every boy in town has squeezed her till
1t is tiresome.
The Misses Jaynes will give a surrey
party next Saturday complimentary to
their visitors, the Misses Harper, of Col
orado. Old nan Jaynes will still con
tinue to fasten his suspenders with ANAL.
Mrs. Stewart Jacobs Porter will attend
the Woman's Missionary Society in
Asheville next week. Her two little
boys, Johnnie and Ralph, were seen on
the streets yesterday, with the seats out
of their pants, cussin' and playing in
the creek with some little niggers.
One Of the charming debutantes of our
younger society is Miss Ethel Har-
graves, who lately returned from school
at Oswego, New York, and will create a
sensation by her matchless beauty when
she comes out. Her mother will be pleas
antly remembered by some of the older
families for whom she used to wash and
pick blackberries.
Captain Horace Bently and his charm
ing wife have decided to settle in our
midst, and have taken the West proper
ty, on Cherokee Street. The Captain is
a gallant gentleman, and won his title
rafting logs down Chucky River.
Mrs. jeanette Randolph and daughter
Lucille will spend their vacation on their
fathers farm near Limestone, and from
what we know of the old man, she had
better leave all her city fixins at home
and wear good, plain clothes.

Reduction in Ten Ride Ticket Rates

The passenger representatives of the
Cincinnati lines held a meeting on
July Q, at the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati,
and decided to take decisive action to
meet the inroads of the electric lines.
A resolution was passed, taking effect
July s, reducing their local rates wher-
ever they come in competition with the
electric lines, cutting the rates down to
the rates in effect via. the so called in
terurban lines and agreed unanimously
that these resolutions would be followed
wherever electric competition was felt.
The action Of these lines in reducing
their rates, quickening their schedules
and increasing their suburban train
service will have q tendency to
make the investment in bonds of So
called %interurban roads a very danger
GUS proposition, as the steam railroads
feel that they a afford to carry this
business if necessary at even less than
the cost of handling the passengers,

and from these suburban towns.

UNPR0V0KED MURDER.
Walter Galloway Fatally Shot by Isham
Simms. 4,

Simms. 4
Last Friday, at the residence of Geo
Boring, on Watauga River in the
neighborhood of Flonrville, occurred
n of the most %unprovoked and cold
blOoded murders on record 10 this
county.
Galloway had occasion to stop at the
home of Mr.. Boring and asked Simms
to put up his horse for him, Offering to
pay him for doing 80, but Simms refused
and Galloway started to the stable
with his horse. Simms went into the
house and procured a gun and iu an
swer to a query as to what he was
going to do said he was going to kill
Galloway, and as the latter was ap.
preaching the house from the stable,
was met by Simms, who fired the fatal
shot, from which Galloway died Sat.
urday forenoon.
After the shooting Simms made his
escape, but was DON followed by a
posse of citizens, but without avail.
On Saturday Sheriff Pritchett procured
a couple of blood hounds from Morris.
town and took them to the scen of the
murder, from where he was followed
in the direction Of Piney Flats. The
pursuit was unsuccessful and up to
Monday morning the culprit had not
been caught. +tB
Monday word was received by Sher
i'll Pritchett that Simms had been
caught at Church Hill, Hawkins Coun.
ty, and taken to R%ogsrsville. for which
point the Sheriff left Monday after
noon. The prisoner was turned over
to Sheriff Pritchett. who took him to
Knoxville and placed him In jail in
that city.
Many conflicting stories are in circu.
lation regarding the murder. but from
all we can learn it was entirely unpro.
yoked; and, judging from the expires.
sions heard, he would have been
summarily dealt with, but it 10 now
pretty we'll assured that the law will
be allowed to take it's course.

They All Do II.

At a conference of the Methodist
Church recently held in Western North
Carolina, Bro. L., of East Tennessee,
vas entertained at a house where five
other delegates were stopping. During
the night, from the effect of a change
OF water, Bro. L, was taken violently
i'll, which greatly alarmed his brother
delegates when all simultaneously de.
clared that they had a remedy in their
saddle pockets which would set him oil
right. Acting as they talked, they all
went to overhauling their baggage and
soon appeared each with a bottle of
Harris Great Relief in their hand and
urged Bro. L. to take some and be we'll.
Bro. L., after seeing what they had
said he would gladly do so, but he
had a bottle of the same remedy him
self, which they would please hand
him from his o%vercoat pocket. 1t is al
most needless to say he took some and
was cured.
