evening at seven to nominate officers

starts into the second year in pretty
good shape. A number of improve
ments have been made during the
past year A great many new lamps
have been put in and number Of fire
plugs provided for protection IN case
Of fire. However there are several
of the citizens of the town who are
still opposed to being in an incorpora-
tion and they cannot see that any
benefit has been derived from being
in a town.

IN JAIL.
Roscoe Tenant in Jail here for
Murder.

Brought In Yesterday Afternoon
Moore had Splendid Reputation
Mahlon Refuses to have anything to
do with His Som Roscoe Refuses 10
Talk to Representative of this Paper
under Advice of Counsel-Noel Is still
Alive and Likely to Recover
Roscoe Tenant is in Jail having
been brought in from Statlers Run
yesterday afternoon Constatles w.
M. Shriver and Richard Price
brought him in. They had no trouble
whatever with their prisoner. They
were in this office and talked about
the affair.
Shriver stated that the Young
man who was killed had always had
a most excellent reputation and that
the fight had been pushed on him
by Tenant. Others claim Moore
was the aggressor. At any rate he
was not in a very big hurry to
get away to avoid the row which
followed Tenants blow in the face
He was the main support of his
widowed mother on whom the blow
will fall heavily and she has the
sympathy of all in her loss.
Tenant was seen in the jail this
afternoon by representative of this
paper who had barely time to state
his business when he was Interrupt
ted by Tenant knocking on the
door for the sheriff to return. See
ing that there was to be no talk the
scribe told him that if he did not
wish to say anything that it would
be all right and that no hard feel
ings would be entertained. The
murderer then said that he had en-
ployed counsel and that they had
told him not to talk His lawyers
are Cox q Baker.
The constables stated when they
were here that the impression they
had gained from what the young man
had said was that he would CON
TESS and throw himself on the mercy
of the court as he wished to get out
of the scrape as easily as he could
and knew there was a trip to the
pen in store for him no matter what
he did.
j. E. Noel who was stabbed by
Dave Morrow was still alive at the
last accounts and was doing we'll
The chances for dis recovery are
very good. 1t is to be hoped that he
will recover as it is bad enough to
have one murder trial in the county
at term of court much less two of
them.

WANT TO COME HOME.
Tremendous pressure brought
to bear on War department

To accomplish the mastering out of the
two West Virginia regiments-Sena.
tor Elkins has received over four
hundred letters asking his influence
to that end-The first regiment will
be discharged, but the second may
not be.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 28-It
is practically certain that the first
West Virginia volunteer regiment and
possibly the second West Virginia as
well, will be mustered out of the vol
unteer service of the United States
government. The reason why the
first regiment is selected in preference
to the second for dismissal from the
service is that it was mustered in first.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on the war depart
ment directly as we'll as through the
West Virginia delegation in Congress
by the volunteer soldiers from West
Virginia to have themselves dismissed
from the service. Senator Elkins, for
example has received more than four
hundred communications from soldiers
requesting that they be mustered out
of the service.
Most of the letters are very urgent
and some are even peremptory. Many
of the men are heartily sick of the
service now that the chance of fight
ing is matter of history and some of
them are placed in situation that is
almost pitiable. Few of those who
volunteered expected to be in the ser
vice more than a month or two at the
most, and many of them have depend
ent families who are reduced to a
state of actual want by the prolonged
absence of the head of the family.
Senator Faulkner has been frequent
ly importuned to use his influence to
get the men mustered out. He says
that many of the officers are as desir-
Gus Of leaving the service as the pri-
Yates and although they are at liberty
to throw up their commissions, most
of them feel personally responsible for
the enlistment of the priyates in their
command and hesitate to resign and
leave them.
A possible solution Of the difficulty
presented by some OF the men and Of
t1cers wishing to stay in the service for
their full term of enlistment while
others are anxious to leave has been
suggested. The plan is to re-enlist
one regiment from the two now ia the
service from the state. In this man.
ner every man who wishes to leave
the soldiers life and avoid doing gar
rison duty in the tropics will be afford
ed an opportunity to do so, while the
Others can return to the ranks. 1t is
thought that the secretary of war will
be glad to accept this solution to the
difficulty that now confronts him in
West Virginia. He may carry out
this plan with the other volunteer
troops in the service as we'll.
Capt. Dovener expressed his opin-
ion that the first regiment will be al
lowed to leave the service if it desires
but stated that he hardly expected
that the second regiment would be
granted the same privilege. The ad-
jutant general will issue orders in re-
gard to the muster out Of the so, 600
golunteers as determined upon during
the first week in January.

The saloon or the academy? We
have an object lesson before us. In
these days when men OF highest grade
are in demand, what schools furnish
them? Is there any inquiry for saloon

partment? But the students of our
academies. the graduates of our col
leges, are in front and gain the hon
ors.-United Presbyterian.

SHOOTING NEAR STILLMORE.
j. ID. Holly Killed by william ogles-
NV on n Train.


StlInore Ga, March 2S.-The town or
Summit, eleven miles northeast of this
place, was thrown into a fever of eX-
element Saturday by the killing OF j. d.
Holly by Bill Oglesby, both young white
men and unmarried. Whisky seemed to
have been at the bottom of the row.
In the afternoon they had participated in
a regular open field shooting ARRAY, which
resulted in Ogesby being hit three times,
disabling him in his right arm To all
appearances the trouble was at an end,
but when the passenger train on the Mil
len and Southwestern road arrived, Hol-
ly boarded it to go home at the second
station below Mr.. Dan Oglesby. uncle
of the wounded young man, arrived on
the scene about this time, and, before the
train left, had his coat off and was ours
ing Holly, who was then on the train.
Holly remarked he could not take that, "
and started to the end of the car, pistol
in hand, which his enemies knew to be
empty. He was just passing out at the
door when young Oglesby shot him from
the platform, the ball entering from in
front and passing through his heart. He
returned to his seat and died instantly
and without word. Oglesby escaped.
A negro girl was accidentally shot by
her little brother eight miles east of here
yesterday morning. The right arm will
have to be amputated at the elbow.

The YeIIovvn Of Nevv vor,,

New York Letter in Chicago Record.
The newspapers are making more out of
the excitement than anybody else, and it Is
surprising to see how the yellow jour
nails have shaken public confidence In the
press. A few years ago people generally
believed what was published; they felt that
1t was at least not wholly untrue; that
there was foundation Of fact for every
statement, although perhaps it might be
incorrectly presented or embellished. But
this faith has been shaken by what they
call modern journalism" and it is com
mon nowadays to hear both men and wo-
men assert that they do not longer believe
anything they see In the newspapers
The editor of one of the most warlike and
sensational sheets in this city has become
insane within the last few weeks and an
other Is now lying i'll from brain fever,
which IS the result of rivalry in sensa-
tionalism. One of the evening papers has
published as many as seventeen extras a
day, every one of them based upon false
hoods and people continue to buy, although
they don't believe.
One of the items of gossip around the
hotel corridors is that the proprietor of a
certain yellow journal who has money
to burn, has made bet of $4,000 that
there will be war.
