The Milford Chronicle has the fol-
lowing to say of It's fellow -townsman:
1.-The State authorities are now prose-
cutting alleged bribery charges against
Hon. Mark L. Davis, and he has been
held for his appearance at the April
term of court. In this community.
where Mark L. Davis is known, no one
believes that the charges can be sus-
tanned before an unpreiudiced jury, for
his private and public character is
beyond reproach, and he has the i'm
pllcit confidence of every one here
whose opinion is worth having. We
ourself have the fullest confidence in
Mr.. Davis, and have no fear of the ul-
Innate outcome, for his word is as
good as any mans in this community,
and no man can accuse him falsely.

DISASTROUS FIRE. Friday night
the 31st ult., the mills known as
Spring Mills" belonging to the VEN
cradle Thomas B. Coursey, were des-
troyed by fire. A corn crib, contain
ing several hundred bushels of corn,
and an ice house were also burned.
The loss is especially severe to Mr..
Ooursey as this mill furnished nearly
his entire living. It was insured for
81, 900, we are informed, but this is an
sum with which to restore
the mills. Indeed it is wholly made
quate, as only few years ago Mr..
Coursey expended about S3, 900 in in
Producing roller machinery, It is
severe misfortune to this aged gentle
man, who Is past ninety years of age.
Mr.. Coursey has been known far and
wide for his open-hearted, open-handed
generosity to all who applied to
him when in need. He turned no
worthy person. away unalded. His
life was filed with noble deeds of
Christian charity, and he will have the
heartfelt sympathy of all.-Sentinel.
