Difficulty.

A difficulty occurred in the couu-
try north of Troy last week, in
which Edgar Brice was seriously
wounded. Some trouble arose be-
tween him and Burnett, who are
neighbors, over fallen gate which
closes lane on Burnett's premises.
Brice had driven through and words
came up about replacing the gate.
The result of which, it is said, that
both men went home to arm them
selves, and that Burnett, having
secured a shot gun, on seeing Brice,
shot at him, and sprinkled his side
from his head to his hip with squir-
rel shot. Brice is said to be doing
very well, although badly wounded.

 Many councils are now engaged in friendly contests as to which shall ini- tiate the largest number of new mem- bers during the first three months ot the year These contests largely in- crease the membership of a council and can begin at any time. The losing side usually provides supper for both sides.
 In 1902 there were 132 rev subordi- nate councils instituted and two grand councils.
 The order is growing in Virginia. Shockoe council of Richmond now has a membership of 800.
 There are four councils of the order in Nova Scotia. with membership of 135. During the past year gain of twenty six was made.
