We had a very pleasant pop call
from old man Chips on Tuesday. Look
| here Chips what is the matter?
Are You hunting up those "sevcn
wcYdcrS Of the world" mentioned

writing for the Stylus. the Evening

| Mr.. Noah Taylor in Il 1T OF madness
assaulted his wife with pistol. the
| ir>, shot took eject in the left ryr de.

second shot missed her. She then
! wrrnch"d the pistol Nul " his hand ana
ran ont q; the hnuSr and threw the ris-
iol UnI,v the house and started 10 MIR.
=. W TNH)"r'> crying for help all the
| way. Her path is marked out 10y her
hloNi Eaylor seeing her fall before
she reached his fathers, supposed! hc
mad killed her and took his razor and
attempted ~ end his life hy ru'ting
his throat. H. did not reach any vital
part, and only succeeded in cutting
into his wind pipe just above the \dam'S
apple. After setting awhile to see the
result OF his work with the razor he went
int" back room and got his gun aud
attempted to blow the top Of his bead
oil in which he did not succeed. as the
load struck him glunciny and only
took oil the Sc, H.. and entered the
wall at his head. DrS. Hunter aud
the ball and have located it. but owing
to the weak state Of Mrs. Taylor they
have not yet extracted it.
This is the second time that Taylor
has attempted to shoot his wife. | am
informed Ivy her father. and ! WAS told
by another party that he had snapped
his risto. at her while she was lying in
rhild-ICd about three months uTo
and has tcrrorizrd her II number Of
times. We were told that had he not .
attempted to kill hi.nsr!r he would
have been summarily dealt with, but We !
don t think there WAS amy danger from |
this source for thrS, are Il law abiding
people. Mrs. Taylur has two chill, re |
hy Il former marriage and they follow, Il |
hrr crying IL she ran from her infuri-
al nut twelve weeks old. Such trngr-
| dies rs this are to hc regretted and any
man who so far forgcts himself AS to
| assault his wife, should feel the heavy
hand Of the law, and be Il warming to
other men, who might attempt to NAL
to love and protect, and not beat and
, miStrrat.
Several amusing incidents have
transprrd over the article of the "old
man's' that he closed with last we, X.
The applications have been numerous
and luuGhahlc. Every one fitting the
shoe to the other fellow and Of course
IT. could not mean him. From the
general comments heard, il seems as
though | struck II popular vein. and if
the condition exists in our town trust
that tn" article and comments will
hc provocative OF good. und while am
on this line | want TO say that there
must hr Il raising Of the standard of
oar moral idea. We are living on too
low plane. 1t Is our privileges to get
up higher even "that higher way," and
We should do 50: We must all talk up
the good and talk down the bad, mini
mizr the evil and magnify all that is
good. Condemn evil wherever found
and by whosorvcr committed, crooked
transactions and "nigh cuts" i'm busi-
ness aud deal with those who con-
| duet their business after the manner
OF the Kings business" We should
all realize at all times that life ut best
is short, too short to engage in any
of the " Is cnumratcd above. Thcrc is
time coming when all our transac-
tions will have Gods search light
turned on them and tn N we can't
shift the responsibility on some one
else: no, when that time comes, the
time for excuses, croOkctncss and niuh
cuts will have passed. Eternity will
be at hand. "Whut shall it profit a
man if he gain the whole world, and
lose his own sonl.' Yes, what, ask
yourself the question. Whore will
| spend eternity? Yes where?
