THE LAND OF FAYETTE.

Il
Business is picking up again as
shown by Squire Stations docket
Saturday and Sunday. The Har-
rington and johnson is being once
more dug up from It's resting
place and its echoes are reverberat-
ing in the midnight air after the
usual quietness of the past few
months. 1t is refreshing to know
that the stars is not a thing of the
past. AT Prudence. Saturday
night, the heavy quietness, which
has been depressing the average
colored gentleman's nature. was
lifted by the frequent music of the
ever ready Harrington. After the
smoke had cleared away and the
joyful sound of the Harrington
had subsidized it was discovered
that about nine of the participants
in the jubilee were more or less
punctured In various parts of the
anatomy. The following paItici-
pants met their Waterloo: Albert
Anderson, shot in the hip, it is
feared he will live; jennie Jones,
just one ball in the leg; Miss
Lemon Duskey and of q sour dis
position shot in the hip, can walk
without orutches, Pet Anderson,
shot in the heel, doubt of his final
recovery as his brain may be in.

in one place, captured and sent to
county bastile for repairs on 500
fine six months to recuperste in;
James Huff, his buddy. refusing
to be separated from him was sent
to nurse him for the period of
thirty days for interfering with
officer who made the arrest. We
are unable to complete the list of
the other wounded as they have
failed to report. The victors in
the affray have thus far eluded the
vigilance of the officers and are
still at large.
Wallace Harvey shot and seri.
ously wounded Bob Lawson, al
Dun Loop. Saturday night. Bob
got away. Both are of the oolored
persuasion.
Joe Wright was very much in
the wrong Saturday, he compelled
a small colored boy to steal a
watch at KiIsythe and upon the
matter being Investigated Squire
Station sent him to the county jail
for the space os thirty days.

had been fined for packing ga

had been fined S25 90 and costs

forgot himself and Sunday found
him before Squire Station ON the
same charge. this time he will have
time to reflect as he drew 500 90
and six months in hopes that he
will remember that the carrier of
the liver and Harrington is ever
liable to be suspended from his
usual haunts of pleasure and
doomed to a period of solitary re-
fection.

School Report for sth Month.

Tho the inevitable lessening of
attendance towards the end of the
school term has begun, we have
had better per cent of attendance,
fewer cases of hardness aud more
pupils neither absent nor tardy,
than for two months before. It
is even more important that we
have regular attendance and proper
attention to studies during the
coming month, for the work will
be largely reviews and examina-
tions Failure to take the examine
tions will cause the pupil to fall
behind in his class. In arranging
our grades for the coming year it
is necessary that only those fully
prepared be promoted.

Mukden, Sept. 23.-The Russians
are using war balloons southeast OF
Mukden for the purpose fobserving
the movements of the Japanese in
that direction. Th line of outposts
established by the Japanese is so eff.
fective that not even the Chinese
have been able to penetrate 1t. 1t
is impossible, therefore, to say de-
finitely how Marquis Oyama has dis
posed his forces. II Is believed that
Gen. Kurokis army stretches from
Benishu to Bentsiatputze and the
armies of Generals NodZu and Oku
from Yentai along the high road and
railroad to Shahepu, 1G miles south
of Mukden while fourth army Is
moving from Dziantchan, across the
Da mountains. All these roads con
verge at Mukden. OF the four armies
those of Oku and Nodzu are nearest
Mukden and their progress will have
to be slackened in order to permit
Kuroki and the hanking columns to
come up. Meanwhile Oku and Nodzu
have command of the railroad. Sup
plies of grain and ammunition are
carried from Yentai over heavy roads
exposed TO capture by cnterprising
Cossack raiders.
There has been an Improvement In
the weather at Mukden which Is oi
great help to the Japanese.

st. Petersburg, Sept. "a. 2:45 a. m
The absence of details from the
seat of war despite the important
charcter of events that are develop
ing around Mukden, support the sup
position that Gen. Kuropatkin may
after all, not seriously contest the
Japanese advance and that the long
expected battle at Mukden may turn
out to be merely a rear guard action
upon a large scale.
May Threaten Communication.
Gen. Sakharoff reports that the ia
panese army is moving toward Flu
Pass, a village six miles northeast OF
Mukden and near the right bank OF
the Hun river. The river at this
point is shallow and probably for this
reason the locality has been selected
by the Japanese forces for crossing
If the Japanese succeeded in gaining
foot hold at Flu Pass. Gen. Kuropat-
kin's position at Mukden will be in
secure, as the Japanese will from
thence be able to threaten the Rus
sian line Of communication. The Pass
is only twenty miles north of Bent
saiaputze, but at the present rate Of
progress, the Japanese will probably
occupy four or five days in traversing
it. The Russian force south of Muk-
den is believed to consist of only one
army corps which Is acting as a rear
guard and 1t Is not intended to offer
serious resistance to the japanese
advance.
