morning Earl was arrested and is now

and with view to catching up with the
tresspasser, Mr.. Horton put out some
strychnne. He thought his enemy was
a stray cat; but on going out to take

the moral of it is that coons should be-

Old Farmer Hopkins.
The Old Farmer Hopkins company at
the opera house, last Friday night, was
greeted with fairly good audience. AL

extent disappointing in that it seemed to
be rather incomplete. Mr.. Frank $. Da-
wilson is an actor of unusual merit, and
his support is tirst-class. The play gen.
orally gave good satisfaction.
Recording of Liens.
The number of liens for advances being

think, however, that the aggregate OF the
season will be greater than last year; but
is of opinion that for some reason the
liens are being brought in about month
earlier The amounts of liens range from
about SO up to 81 900. The average of 20,
selected at random on yesterday, was
S75.4O.

Green McCluny, colored, was commit
ted to Jail on Monday on the charge OF
assault and battery with intent to kill.
The commitment was by Magistrate
Plaxico. At Negro church, near Bull
locks Creek, last Sunday night, McCluny
shot another Negro named Andrew Rob-

the wound would prove fatal. 1t seems,
however, that McCluny claims the shot
