RIVER WORK AT BATES WILLIE.

Beginning with next week, work will proceed in earnest with the con- struction of the dam at the lock just below town. Capt. Parkin has moved his office down from Lock 2, and brought with him part of the force employed there. About sixty men are employed here now, and more are offering. This force will probably be divided into three shifts, each work ing eight hours; and the work will go on night and day. Practically all the material is on the ground for the construction of the dam, and it will re- quire about sixty days to complete the work. Meantime about forty men will be kept at work at Lock ?, and the dam there put in as soon as the dam here is completed. There seems to be no trouble about getting labor The dredge boat, so necessary to the construction of the dam, has been eighteen days in cutting her way down here from Lock 2. The river is so low she had to dig her own channel much of the way. She is now cutting the bar below the cedar yard, and will reach the lock by Monday. Her first work will be to tear out the coffer dam, and then clear the bottom of the river to bedrock for the foundation of the dam. The office, boarding house, shops and yards on the river bank again present scene of bustling activity -Batesville Guard.

Stabblng ARRAY at Ringgold,

What might have been a serious cut
ting ARRAY occurred near Ringgold last
Thursday evening. The principals in
the case were Sam Humphrey and Geo.
Pitman, neighbor boys living near that
place. 1t was at first rumored that the
trouble was over a girl, but latter devel-
opments show that was not the case.
1t seems there has been i'll feeling be-
tween the boys for some time, Pitman
believing that at n time while they
were attending a gathering in Missouri
that Humphrey had shaved his horses
tail, but there had been very little said
about the deal and it was supposed that
there would never be any serious trouble
about it. However, last Thursday even
ing Pitman and a friend were walking
along the road and they noticed some
one was following them, and as their
followers drew rear they recognized
Humphrey and some of his friends.
When Humphrey came alongside of
Pitman he began to abuse him and
struck him with what he supposed a
pair of knucks. Pitman resented the
action and at once drew his knife, with
the result that his assailant was badly
cut.
At present the wounded man is get.
ting along nicely and 10 serious COM
plications are expected,-Mt. Ayr Rec.
