r. Gottlleb against James G.. Michigan,
late president of the Bank Of Abbeville,

there will be more and stronger evidence

Horses and hogs are fond Of the china

AS has been frequently written, color in
horses is simply a matter of taste in the
individual In one sense of the word, any
color Is fashionable, if the animal pos
sessses superior qualities of a character
that attracts the buyer. There have been
many men of many minds" it was wise
ly ordained that there should be various
shades of color in the horse-man's best
friend in the animal kingdom. How I'M
attractive would the equine race prove
were all horses of the same shade OF bay
that most stable of all fashionable colors.
Variety being necessary to mans comfort
and happiness we should cultivate the
more frequent use of the horse, no matter
what his color Encourage humanity in
a love for the useful horse and leave the
individual his right to select such color
as best suits his fancy. Western breeders
will not waste their time in an effort to
settle the point whether an animal should
be a bay, a brown, a roam or a dun

AS a general proposition horse values
have advanced from 10 to % per cent. this
year and are higher now than in several
years. Most people have claimed all along
that the advance was on good horses only,
but to review the record of auction sales
for three months back would incline them
to give more credit 10 common horses.
Last year at this time there were plug
horses selling down to the lowest possible
quotation, $3.50. OF course they were ex-
ceedingly common and worthless. The
same kind is still going to market but
those that have sold below $40 during the
past ninety days could almost be counted
ON The fingers of one hand.

HUSTINGS COURT WORK.
Much Work Done i'm That Tribunal
During the Year.

Clerk Christian makes the following re-
port of work done in the Hastings Court
for the past year:
This report closes on December 10Th
and as this Court was not in session In
August. no figures are given, OF course,
for that month.
The total number OF civil cases disposed
OF was ll6, being an average of 10 and a
fraction for each of the eleven months
The greatest number Of cases in any one
month was for April. when twenty-nine
were tried. and the smallest number was
for February and September, when but
two cases i'm each month came up.
The number OF criminal cases greatly
exceeded that Of the civil. being 80. This
makes an average for the eleven months
Of 81 and fraction. The largest number
was tried la October. being l72 cases. This
high figure was reached because OF 4
large number OF license cases. The small
est number was tried In December. when
but nine cases were disposed OF.
The total number Of cases, both civil
and criminal, disposed OF during the
eleven months was 505. an average Of
&C a month. which taken In connection
with the routine work Of the Court rep
resents an enormous amount OF labor.
The marriage licenses issued during
the year, up 10 and including December
10Th, aggregate 626. an average OF % for
each month of the year. or these 5J3 were
white, and 213 colored.

TRIES TO COMMIT SUICID

BUCKINGHAM c. H., VA, Dec. o.
Spccial--Ailen Eppes. Il well-to-do and
respected colored man. on yesterday shot
and killed Solomon Brown, also colored.
For some time past Eppes has shown
signs OF insanity. and the killing OF Brown
is regarded as the act OF crazy man.
1t appears that Brown workd a part OF
Eppes farm. and the two were upon
terms of intimate friendship. Yesterday
Brown went to Eppes' house and they
had talk in a perfectly friendly way.
When Brown got up 10 leave and passed
into the hall, Eppes grabbed a shot gun
and fired both barrels into Brown, in
ficting such injuries that he died in a
short time.
EPPES ARRESTED.
Eppes was promptly arrested. and on
his way to Jail stated to Mr.. Joe Cox
the special constable, that Brown was
the best friend he had. and that the devil
made him kill Brown. When Eppes ar
rived at Jail and was given a cell he
tried to kill himself with a stick Of wood.
The scene Of the shooting was near
Curdsville, twelve miles distant from
here.
The general impression is that Eppes
is crazy. Previous to this he has borne
q good character and has been very pop
ular with the whites
4 HORRID CRIME.
