Our city with it's large number Of
elegant homes has many most excel
lent entertainers, but it is said lsub-
rOsa), among our young folks, that
an invitation to the handsome, com
modious and well appointed home of
Capt. and Mrs. J. D. Allen, of The
TINES, is readily recognized as the
acme OF pleasure The idea was veri-
fed on Halloween night-Thursday
last, when n large number of the
youth and beauty of our city met It
this hospitable home, with a single
object in view-fun; and from one
who was present we learn that the
expectations were more than realized.
1t was perhaps, the iolliest crowd as
sembled in our city for months at
least. 1t was after midnight when
the guests left for their homes, the
general opinion being that it had
been the most successful function OF
tho season.-Bates Co. Record, Nov.

Estis Smith, of Mingo township,
was in town Tuesday to interview
the county court in assisting the peo-
pie of his section in improving the
road in grand river bottom, which in
bad weather is rendered almost i'm
passible to travel. The citizens Of
the neighborhood want to spend
5000 in making the necessary grade
OF the bottom and by private sub
scription raised 800 of the amount
and the county court will be asked
for an appropriation of equal sum.
With the $500 it is hoped the road
can be put in fair condition Estis
Smith was appointed commissioner
to look after the work on the road

There was a pathetic scene in the
court room at Nevada, Friday night
when the jury brought in a verdict
assessing Hiram C. Bates punish
ment at three years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for feloniously
shooting his neighbor Jas. Ferguson.
When the verdict was announced the
three little children, two sons and a
daughter, of the condemned man,
ran to their old father and throwing
their arms about his neck wept bit
terly. The scene was so pathetic it
brought tears to the eyes OF all pres
emit in the court room. The shoot
ing occurred on the morning of Sep
TENDER 14th, and according to the
evidence was malicious and without
provocation. Furgeson was pastur-
ing his horses on a vacant lot. A
rain came up suddenly and he took
refuge in vacant house which be-
longed to Bates. A few minutes later
Bates appeared with his shotgun and
as Furgeson was leaving the build
ing shot and dangerously wounded
him. Bates is 65 years of age, is an
old soldier, is broken down in health
and it is thought will hardly live to
serve out his sentence.
