habitants on the Granville road be
tween the three bridees and the Cal
houn bluffs that a good deal of careless
shooting has been done usually from
across the river Whether it IS the re
suit Of carelessness or with malicious
intent is not known but something
should be done to stop it. Some month

of these bullets Last week anothe
bullet struck the house of a farmer

of the authorities be called to this prat

tilted at that distance nor is it know
whether or not the damage complaine
of IS anything more than the effects {
