Last Saturday morning about
half-past two o'clock some one
two stones, breaking two
glass windows in the Vaughn
barber shop. Green, the barber,
in the back room, was
awakened by the noise, and hur-
out, but could not tell who the
offenders were. It was a very con-
temptible act.
Our enterprising citizen, Mr..
Louis Miller, has been at no little
trouble and expense endeavoring
to. get out a specimen of marble
the quarries on Marble Creek
for the Iron county exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. Thus far he has not
been very successful, the marble
breaking before a piece of suffice
lent size can be secured.
A man was here from Ohio last
week looking up the record of
Lowenstein, the man who built the
wooden mill here about ten years
ago. He said a party was work.
ing the same scheme in some town
in Ohio, and while he passed under
another name than Lowenstein, he
was inclined to think he was the
same person who was here.
A car load of mules, en- route to
were unloaded here last
Saturday and fed and watered and
then started on their way again.
The mules were in bad shape when
they arrived, many of them being
down in the car, and the company
probably thought that unless they
wanted to take a lot of dead mules
into Memphis it would be best to
water and feed here.
The trial of Pink McCarver in

the penitentiary, and two of them
insisting on the death penalty.
The case was then continued until
May 31st, and McCarver was re-
leased on a $4,000 bond.
We understand that the threat
ened troubled between the school
board and the young lady teachers
of the Belleview public school has
been amicably adjusted. The
young ladies had a contract for
an eight months school but there
was only money to pay them for
i've months. And when that time
expired the board requested the
teachers to close school. At first
the young ladies refused, claiming
that as they had a contract for
months school, SO were they
entitled to remuneration for their
services for that period. They only
a portion of a day, how
ever, after the five months and
the school.
