The Peter Horne Case.

In the case of Mr.. Peter Horne, hi
motion for anew trial was oyerruleC
last week and he was sentenced To fiy,
years imprisonment. His attorney
Col. K. Don Mcleod, gave notice of D.
peal to the supre me court and asked
the court to fix an appearance bond.
The bond was fixed at $4,000 and 20
lays was given, in which to prepare his
bill Of exceptions and assignments ,of
hrror
The evidence in the case showed that
Prter Horne had started to billiard.
vile with 500 to buy horse from Mr..
Jape Raker, and meeting up with u
Iarty of conviyial friends, he began
drinking, and before train time was
crazy drunk. He managed to buy n
ticket to Hilliardvillc, but got on the
wrong train and was carried to Quincy
and had to pay his fare.
In making change Conductor Harry
Taylor, one of the most courteous rail-
road conductors living, handed him
back ten dollar bill and took five
which he had in his roll of money, and
gave him back the correct change.
After the conductor had passed OH
Horne tried to count his money and
finding that he did not have all of his
$50, he jumped at the drunken conclu-
sion that Conductor Taylor, whom he
nad never seen before, had kept that
$40 bill and he charged Taylor with
stealing it.
The QUARREL was renewed after get
Ting of the train at Quincy. Taylor
'eeing that he was drunk, bore with |
linn patiently, and tried to convince
Tim that he had given him back the
'l0 bill and the correct change for the
i've, but Horne persisted, and in the
light that ensued, he shot Taylor
through the left ear, bit Off one of his
myers, and bit him badly on the nose.
The indictment charges Horne with
ssault with felonious and premedtat-
d intent to effect the deRth of II. /. |

Science With Grit.

Many scientific remedies for consump-
ton are announced from time to time
which sound we'll, with great unpronounc.
able names back of them. Every one of
them is an experiment at the expense OF
suffers willing to pay anything for re-
lief from the certain doom of the disease.
Here now comes a new discovery with
something more than high sounding names
and learnings to back it. 1t is The
Guaranteed Consumption Cure. 1t
says The Patient Deserves to Know
That He Can He Cured. 1t has the
Grit to back its scientific claims with
this: The patient follows in his own
home our very simple directions. When
he is cured he SAYS so, and then we re-
ceive our pay. II not cured. he has had
a long course of treatment at our expense,
with q remedy which has cured Is per
cent. of a total Of over 400 cases treated
This company is composed of New York
and Western people who have. after years
of experiment, selected San Antonio,
Texas as the most favorable climatic
point for the treatment of consumption and
will maintain its laboratory and general
Offices there and erect magnificent SAM
tarium for patients who prefer and car
afford a change of climate. 1t also has
Offices at Asheville. n. g.. where arrange
ments are made for sanitarium accommO
dations for those preferriug higher alti
tude Of San Antonio.

Last Thursday Evening at Henderson
Female College.

Last Thursday evening. in the
chapel of the Henderson Female Col
lege, DIR. Macon addressed crowded
room of appreciative listeners. His
subject, as had been announced, was
practical Dentistry"
After speaking in glowing terms of
the rapid advance of science. of the
great good resulting from the dis
cOveries of Newton, Morse, Franklin
and host of others, he spoke of the
mprovements in Dentistry. He
dwelt upon the Importance of taking
care OF the teeth, of preserving ones
own natural teeth. saying one had
much better lose a finger or a toe
than tooth. He stated that beauty
and health, SO much desired bv every
one, depend greatly upon the condi-
ton of the teeth.
No one who heard him could fail to
be entertained and instructed.
A choice selection of music and
Rotations was rendered by the
pupils in an excellent manner. The
oil paintings by Misses Eulalie,
Mabel, and Myrtle Harris and the
crayons by Misses Olive and Agnes
Harris were much admired. These
entertainments were seasons of intel
lectual and social pleasure, and we
are glad to know, by the manner in
which the young ladies acquit them
selves that the school is doing such
good work in every department..

AS We Know Them.

AS man is often rated by the
kind of clothes he wears, so he is
classified intellectually by the kind
of language he uses. Both ratings
may be inaccurate, but the world
goes on making them just the same,
for the reason that they are general
ly correct. If man, therefore, is
dressed like a tramp, he must ex-
pect to be taken for tramp, even
though he may be a millionaire.
Also, if he talks and writes bad
English, uses slang and coarse ex-
pressions, he must not blame people
for regarding him as an ignoramus,
even though he may be serveral
times a graduate. Appearances in
dress, manners and speech count for
much and no seeker for success can
afford to ignore them.-Erchange.

About two and n half years ago my

The trouble appearing on each about
the same time, was inclined to think it
mumps,. but soon observing to the con

the trouble came from colds, prescribing
accordingly, yet swelling continued to
grow, until each had to hold for the
lance, the little boy having been lanced
in three places and at three times, his face
at times, looking alarming. The nature
of the trouble was termed one thing by
one and another thing by another.
This, however did not concern me, as
was looking for cure, and Mrs. Joe

my attention so often and so favorably,

and commenced to use Mrs. Joe Person =

Unlike Others of Her Race.

We are told that colored woman
who has lived within the corporate
limits of Henderson the last two
years and in three hundred wards
of it the preceding three, came up
town Monday for the first time in
five years. She says she has no
curiosity or desire to 90 out but did
SO then at the earnest solicitation of
friend. She is perhaps the only
person in town enjoying good health
that can say as much. She is unlike
others of her race in that she does
not like tlocking together-enjoy
being in a crowd.
