an evening.

Prock, charged with ~assaulting VIM. Nc
Fadin with intent to kill him, was held
before Squire John M. Price last Saturday.
The testimony showed that McFadin went
to a bee gum belonging to John Proch and
destroyed the same n when ordered
away by Prock refused to go. The two
men had some words and McFadin drew
an axe on Prock. They scufied awhile
over the axe and finally Prock got hold of
a gun that his little boy had, and fired at
McFadin, some of the shot taking effect
In his left leg between the knee and thigh,
McFadin was not badly hurt, the shot
only inficting a few flesh wounds which
healed in a few days. The Judge did not
think there was sufficient evidence to hold
Prock, and he was discharged. John 8.
Blackwell & Son were Prock's attorneys.
A preacher came at a newspaper man in
this way: "You dare not tell the truth.
II you did you would not live, your news
| paper would be q failure.' The editor
said: "You are right; and he minister
who at all times and under all circum-
| stances tells the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth about his
members, alive or dead, will not occupy
| his pulpit more than one Sunday, and
then he will find it necessary to leave
town In a hurry. The press and the pull
Dit go hand in hand with whitewash
brushes and pleasant words-magnifying
little virtues into big ones. The pulpit,
the pen and the gravestone are the great
saInt-making triumyirate." And the
great minister went away looking serious
while the editor turned TO his work and
told about the surprising beauty of the
bride and her wealth of golden hair.
