Rufus Peyton's Restaurant Catches
Fire and Causes Much
Exciteme emit.

The brick building occupied by Rufus
Peyton in the northwestern corner of
the pubic square, and used for
restaurant, caught fire Monday and
created considerable excitement for a
short time, as it was right in the center
of the business portion of the town.
The fire, however, was quickly
smothered by the fire company, the
building being damaged only about
$50. Most all this damage was done
by the streams of water from the fire
hose. Mr. Peyton estimated his
damages at $50. There was insurance
on the house to cover die loss.
The blaze caught from the fue in
some manner, near the ceiling of the top
story.
Another fire alarm was sounded about
an hour later and called the fire com
pany to Macedonia, where negro
cabin was on fire. The blaze was
extingnished before the fire company

the city and several property holders

building OF the underpass, Will proba-
bly, made report and some action will
probably be taken.
Alderman j. w. Frlerson was seen
this morning and asked what his com
mlttee would have to report at tomor
row night's meeting of the board on
the matter of adjusting the trouo
With the citizens on South Main
street. Mr.. FrIerson is member of
the committee appointed at the last
meeting of the board to see the
citizens who have claims for damages.
growing out Of the building OF the
underpass, He stated that some pro
gress had been made toward reaching
settlement; that nearly all the
damaged citizens had allowed the city
to fix up he front part OF their yards
by building rock walls and cutting
steps, and much of this WORK had been
done and Is still In progress, but that
most of the citizens had refused to
allow the city TO do anything toward
fixing up their premises in the rear,
such as the cutting of alley ways, etc
They nave refused absolutely to allow
any work of this sort done at all.
A iderman Fr1erson was not hopeful of
a settlement, and SAID the new board

1t is stated that al effort may be
made by citizens TO have the Board
take some action whereby an arrange
ment can be made for the discharge of
the sewerage from the new depot, SO
that the improvements placed therein
can he put in USE All citizens who
have been to the new depot since 1t
was opened are very ANXIOUS TO have
some acton taken whereby the sew
erage question can be satisfactorily
settled, as everybody is agreed that the
present facilities mar very greatly the
beauty of the depot and its surround
lngs. In fact, the present condition
of affairs has made 1t absolutely I'M
possible for the Railroad Company to
finish the grounds around the new
depot in the way originally intended.
1t was the purpose to create at each
eno of the depot beautiful flower
plot, extending from the main build
ing to each end of the long Granitold
walk IN front. Owing to the
surroundings, this is lmpossi
ole. Tho matter may not come before

A WONDERFUL SALVE.

Some ten years ago. Mr.. Duke John
son, of the Mt. Joy neighborhood, was
deputized by Deputy Sheriff Newt
Packard TO arrest negro man who had

make the arrest he was dangerously
wounded by the negro pulling 80
Smith & Wesson pistol and shooting
him in the neck. The ball ranged up
the neck near the jawbone and has
stayed there ever since, until last
August.
Mr.. A. l.. Ledoetter, Of the same
eighborhood. had a salve, Of his own
make, which had been performing some
rather unusual cures among the neigh

able drawing powers, and having in vain
tried everything else. Mr.. johnson con-
cluded to try the salve on his neck
The salve was applied just three times
before the ball, which had been in his
neck ten years, was drawn out Inc

THE COUNTY COURT AND RE
DIsTRIcTING MIDDLE.

Has Msury County got lega
County Court or mott
This IS the most important question
that is agitating the public mind a.
present and the more one THINKS OF
the matter the more perplexed oh0
becomes. No considerable number OF
citizens are agreed on the question,
the politicians are at sea, ana even the
legal fraternity is muddled This
being the situation it is no wonder
that the ordinary layman is lost in the
woods and doesn know which way to
turn,
The question is undoubtedly a dlfi1-
cult and an intricate one, and it will
probably require some sort Of legal
test in the courts to settle the MATTE.
The question arises over the pill passe d
by the last legislature redistricting
Marry county, merging certain civil
districts into one new district, thus
reducing the number of districts from
twenty five to nine IN the county, and
providing that the act should take
effect from ana after its passage.
When the bill became a law, 1T made
the Honorable County Court, or rather
a large majority of the members, ex-
ceedIngly wroth; and they forthwith
Instructed the County Attorney to file
a bill of injunction against tthe meas
IRE whsnever any agency sought 10
nut the aforesaid redistricting bill
into operation.
Then the members retired to their
districts and began to think some.
They found an old act of an ancient
legislature which stated that the
county court might from time to time
redistrict the county, laying the dis
tricts out by metes and bounds, and
fling the same with the Secretary of
State. Thinking, some Of them, that
this gave exclusive jurisdiction to tfe
County Court in the matter of re.
dietricting the county, the honorable
justices came at the next quarterly
meeting of the court and by resolution
appointed redistrictlng committee,
to reulstrict the county. This honor
able committee held one or two secret
meetings at the court house and prob
ably was getting along 'swlmmingly,
when that 'paternalistic encroacher
upon the peepul's rights, the Supreme
Court of the State, came along, and IN
sweeping decision at Knoxville
knocked the props out from under the
coun<v squires by holding, in the con
sideration of number of consolidated
,ses from East Tennessee counties
where redistricting acts had been
