ARMED WITH wNcHEsTERs.

Citizens armed themselves with
Winchesters as before stated and re-
turned with the officer. The house
was surrounded and the threatening
muzZles of these loaded weapons
caused him to lay down his revolver
when ordered. This did not tend to
improve his feelings and when his
wife appeared from around the cor
ner of one of the houses, and viewed
the situation and predicament of her
husband, all of her love for him re-
turned and she did not fail 20 try to
obey his command TO her 10 kill them
She sailed in ''in great shape" and
fought right and left. She kept this
up all of the wayto thecalaboosea and
in this she was assisted by her hus-
band. 1t was surprising that either
of them had clothing on their per-
sons after such an encounter, if the
reports of the witnesses to the affair
are to be accepted.

TROUBLE IN A FAMILY.

II seems that a white citizen and
his wife imbibed too freely on some
imported liquor, for Norton is a
dry town. They were lighting
each other and some say were fir
ing az each other with revolvers.
BE this as IL may, IL is further report
ed that an officer went up TO arrest
the man and he was at once dsfied
and told 10 sit down. AS the white
man had the officer covered with the
revolver, he thought discretion the
better part OF valor and he left for
reinforcements. He did not fail 30
get them.

WANTED HIM TO STOP THERE

stop of as work was good there now
and the pay was $3.50 per day on
the yard and $l.75 per day in the
other departments. But the passen-
ger listened but moved not. He was
en-route 10 Norton and he was going
there.
There are long stretches of coun-
try along about Sword Creek, where
a colored man is never seen, except
on a railway train and it is boldly
stated that il is unsafe for one to get
on at the station. To stop over a
night, would be as much as his life
was worth. All through this section
may be seen the mountaineers, many
OF them with long boards and all OF
them with that nonchalance,-that
attitude of utter indifference. care

colored females and after this was in
close conversation with a clerical
looking colored brother who had
come aboard and who was evidently
en-route 10 his charge.
He boasted that he was making

A VIRGINIA cALABoosE.

It is needless to say that the COL
ored people that did view the affray
did so at long range and at a safe
distance. We saw the crowd around
the calaboose, a structure built Of
boards. more like a box or wood
house than any thing else. 1t was
about s by 16 feet and about 8 feet
high. A small opening on the end
about six by nine inches, with iron
bars up and down constituted peep

TO BUILD NEW LINE TO OMAHA
Bell Company Has Bought Adams
Lines

Sunt. r. L. West of the Bell Tele-
Phone Company, who was in Amerlcus
day or two ago, has purchased for
his company the Adams lines out OF
Columbus, and will at once build long
distance line from that city to Omaha,
near Lumpkin, greatly improving the
facilities of the Bell Telephone Go. in
that district. Already Americus has
long distance connection with Omaha,
Richland, Lumpkin and other towns
in that locality, and the building OF
the new line to Omaha will afford new
circuit to Columbus. 1t is the policy
of the Bell Telephone Co. to afford the
very best service in the smaller towns
on the long distance lines as we'll as in
the city, and that this effort is being
appr eciated is evidenced in the rapidly
increased patronage afforded. Ameri-
Gus is the central point for a vary large
district, and ere long every village and
hamlet, as we'll as all the large planta'
tons In this sc ction of the state, will
have telephone connection.

son of hard wear and exposure these
bricks are now converted into ''bats''
