East Biuestone.

We have had some nice spring
weather for the few past days but
don't know how long it will last.
We notice the farmers have
made good use of the fair days for
piowing and burning brush and
broom sage.
Latest report is that Mrs. ]. d.
Tickle is better. We hope that
she may recover soon.
We notice the smiling face of Mr..
IL. nj. Thompson in our community
again. He must be looking for
farm.
Stuart Bane, son of J. FL.
Bane, has gone to seek his fortune
in foreign fields. We think he has
gone to join the Boer army.
j. III. Bane, who has been quite
sick is much better. His eyes are
very weak yet, but are improving
some.
Mr.. Il. Il. Hale is out again but
says he cannot hear out of one ear
any at all.
Jno. St.Clair, Jr.. went to Burks
Garden last week to sell some cat
tie, but he is back no me again.
We have a 6no singing school
I'm our midst with A. Hounshell as
teacher and he is making them toe
the mark. As we understand
some of thom have learned how
little they know about singing.
We have boen working for
post Office in this vicinity and we
certainly do need one, where we

The Whirligig OF Time.

Strange are the revolutions pro
duced by the fux and reHux OF pol
itics and the exigencies Of person.
al ambition whose operations are
without the guidance and beyond
the control OF conscience or OF right.
When the necessity, or the supposed
nsccessity, arose the other day for
the delivery ofan oration over the
body of William Goebel a. a prelude
to its committal to the grave, it was
to the Hon. Joseph Q. F. Blackburn
that the melancholy but theoretically
honorable duty OF delivering that
Grafton was entrusted.
1t is not recor led that Mr.. Black
burn hesitated or demurred to un.
dertake the task, which be was rec
ogdized as the most appropriate man
to accomplish. tt is not likely that
he did, as any betray al OF reluctance
would have injured him politically
Aud having agreed TO deliver the
orvtion, he put his whole heart aud
soul iuto il aud did the thing right.
The most devoted friend, the most
ardaut admi,or of William Gosbel
could uol hkvo desired heartier or
more eloquent sulogy than this:
Build Lers over his grave a
mighty towering granite shaft that
shall defy the corroding touch of
time. Inscribe upon it an epitaph
that shall be worthy of the man. He
earned this at our hands, In lite
and death he was consecrated TO the
peoples Cause. He lived an houest
life' an I've his life Tor your de-
livsrar' tSTl~r him no sulogy but
truth uopiesT: Earth never pillowsd

How little do we know what the
future has in store for us. Not quite
Ave years ago, on Sunday, April Ia,
1895, at Coving ton, KY, the man
who spoke thus fseling.y of William
Gocbel had delivered another oration,
an GRAFTON over the coffin OF Col.
John l.. Sanford, who like Gohbsl,
had been stricken down on the pub
lie highway by the hand OF an as
sassin. And here is what Senator
Blackburn had to say Of Sanford:
"John Sanford was to me as a
brother. loved him. l hope God
may spare me and shall make it my
life's mission to avenge him by bury
ing his slayer in merited public ex-
ecration."
And it was by William Gos bells
hand that Sanford fell.-Philadsl-

4 FATAL SHOOTING
 AFFAIR AT BLOCTON Ed Hagan Almost Instantly Kill
 ed by Pomp Priton MEN HAD A DISAGREEMENT Hagan Went Cunning for His Adver- sary and Shot Him Before He
 Received the Fatal Load
 Watch Caused Trouble
MEN HAD A DISAGREEMENT l

Blocton, October 25.-(Special)- a shooting scrape last night between Ed. Hagan and Pomp Priton, the former was killed and the latter badly wounded.
 Trouble arose betweeen the parties day or two ago in reference to a watch. It seems that Priton had pawned a watch to a friend for the loan of few dollars and that the same friend in turn p4wned the watch to Hagan and in some manner dispute arose between Hagan and Priton in reference to the transaction. Priton told Hagan to get out of his shop and not come in it again.
 Last night about 7:S0 o'clock Hagan walked into Priton's shop and took a seat on an anvil. Priton remarked: Do you remember what I told your" Hagan re- piled that he guessed that meant that he was not wanted and for him 10 get out Priton said yes and Hagan left remarking at the time that he would see Prton again and that he (Priton) would not speak to him. Prton said that he would and Hagan replied that he would not give him chance. Hagan went from the shop to Louis Fredericks store, bought some pow der and buckshot. hired horse from Frederick and started immediately for his home, which was about two miles from town. MT. Frederick states that he asked Hagan if there was any trouble and that Hagan said there was not. Frederick heard something of the trouble with Pri- ton shortly afterward and told him what had happened.
 Priton was advised to go home by friends and finally started, but had not gone far before Hagan came up the street on the lookout. Priton had Winchester shotgun at the time and stepped into an alley to avoid Hagan. The latter passed on a few feet, looked into Frederick's store and then turning back he saw the man he was look ing for, and at once discharged his gun at him, striking him in the left shoulder.
 Priton had his gun in readiness in an in- stant and discharged one barrel, which took e--ect near the center of Hagans breast. Hagan ran about forty feet after being shot, then fell, where he died in a few minutes
 Hagan's gun was an old time muzzle- loading musket. He had the gun charged so heavily that the kick broke the stock. Dr. M C. Thomas dressed Pritons wound after which the latter walked to his home about two hundred yards off, with friends
 Hagan was about 26 or 27 years old un- married, and for many years had been a very wild, though kind-hearted fellow He leaves mother, father and sister, to whom nls uptimely end is a severe shock. Priton is about 32 years of age, is married, and has been considered a very quiet, though neryy man. He has been arrested, and his preliminary is set for tomorrow. pr. thomas, the attending physician, says that his wounds are not dangerous.

My three-year- old girl takes them as readily as candy. have only to say tablets" and she drops everything else and runs for them.
 A Buffalo mother a short time ago who despaired of the life of her babe was so de- lighted with the results from giving the child these tablets that she went bafs=z the notary public of Erie Co.,, N. r., ana Eade the following affidavit:
 "Gentemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were recommended to me for my tWo- months'-ol baby, which was sick and r=ay and the doctors said was suffering from in- digestion. I took the child to the hospital, but there found no relief. A friend men,
