The protracted meeting at lib
erty closed with services Sunday
evening. There were nine profes-
sions and the religious sentiment
of the community was greatly re-
Yived. The pastor, Rev. 4. T. Ca
son, aided by a few other devoted
christians, worked increasingly TO
accomplish this result, which is
bright and shining monument to
the persistent zeal and love of him
self and his charge TO the cause Of
the Master.

Leon Caraway, esq, Of Big San
dy, has formed a law partnership
with Judge Joe r. Hawkins, of
Huntingdon, and viii locate at this
place. Mr.. Caraway, who recently
qualified and was admitted to prac-
tice at the bar, is a son of Mr.. VIII
liam Caraway, Of Big Sandy, and a
nephew Of Hon. w. J.. Morris, Of
this place. He is well-known here
as a most exemplary young man,
energetic and ambitious, and We
predict for him many we'll merited
laurels in his chosen profession.
We join in extending to him a
hearty welcome to our midst.
A woman claiming to be the wild
ow Of Captain who was killed by
an Indian, and who claimed she was
receiving a pension of &143.50 per
quarter, payable at Topeka, Ks, ar
rived here a few days ago and IN
formed several gentlemen that she
| had been robbed on the train be-
tween Paducah junction and Hol-
| low Rock. Her misfortune appeal
| ed to the heart of our philanthropic
county court clerk, Mr.. G. 3. Greer,
who advanced her the means to pro-
ceed to Nashville, where she claim
ed to have friends, and promised to
return to him the money from that
place. Subsequent developments
lead to the conclusion that the wom-
an was either demented, q fraud,
or she has been fouly dealt with
since leaving here, as nothing has
been heard of her since a short
time after her arrival at Nashville.
After several days search the detec-
tives Of Nashville have failed to
locate her.

quash the writ, on the ground that
q married woman could not prose
cute in such cases unless it was an
assault and battery made by the
husband upon the wife The mo-
tion to quash was sustained and the
defendant was acquitted. Antici-
pating such action, the attorney
general pro tenn, had prepared an
other writ, which being completed.
the defendant was again arrested
and held for examination, Mrs
Lone Bateman aud daughter, Miss
Bette Boswell and two brothers
