AMOS HOWARD SLUGGED.
While Fixing the Fire in Car of Potatoes
He is Knocked Down and Slugeed.

Last Tuesday night Amos Howard.
who is buying potatoes for Best & Co.,
at Bethel, was slugged and robbed of
over one hundred dollars that he had
on his person at the time. He had
gone to attend to the fire in a car of
potatoes about ten o'clock, and some
time afterward he was found lying
beside the car in a helpless condition:
It appears that while at the car some
one hit him over the head with a
scale weight, cutting him badly on the
head and rendering him unconscious.
His assailant went through his rockets
and took what money he had. When
Howard recovered consciousness he
began calling for Frank Goulding. who
is at Bethel with him, and his cries
attractedthe attention of parties near
the track. Whoever the assailant was
made good his escape.

Mr.. Morris, the double saw mill
man, has moved one of his mills
in sight of Nickajack, and has
built a house and proposes to re-

If our friends who expect to have
their timber sawed will CONSULT
their interest they will not allow
their oak timber cut Excepting
post oak) until the sap rises in
April, and then carefully save all
the bark for tanning purposes.
the bark of the trees will be worth
as much, or perhaps more, than
they will get out of the lumber, as
it will bring anywhere from three
