STUCK A "RooTY" ROAD.
Young Man After Visit to the Dispensary Tried
- n.:.,e Aov,.o k., Wav of PSil,vav Track

Young Man After Visit to the Dispensary Tried
to Drive Home by Way Of Railway Track.
A young farmer of this county, who is
too fond of his cups, performed feat
last Saturday night which stands without
a parallel in this region.
Tanked up to the brim with liquor, be
got into his buggy and started home, get.
ting as far as the Southern depot, and
thinking that he had arrived at the point
where the road branches off to his home
he turned and drove down the railroad
track, humping and bouncing along over
the cross-ties for half mile, finally reach
ing Bear Greek trestle, upon which he
was in the act of driving when stopped by
some parties who were out looking for an
escaped convict. The man and his turn
out had scarcely been removed from the
track when belated train came lumber
ing by.
When it last dawned upon the fellow
that he had been driving on the railroad
track he naively remarked to his rescuers
that he thought as he drove along that he
had ''struck the st rootiest road" he had
ever traveled.-Lancaster correspondence

Names are continually being added to
the pauper list of this county, and the
number of people who now receive help
from the public treasury is totally out OF
proportion to the size of the county. We
are supporting too many people, and
doubtless there are many others equally
deserving who do not receive public aid.
The county should buy farm and estab'
1ish a poor house. 1t will be a great deal
cheaper and more satisfactory in the long
run, and the sooner We do it the better.
In this connection it might be well to
advise our citizens to inquire closely into
the circumstances of persons when asked
to sign petitions of applicants for public
Aid.

Charge Of a Doubtful Judge.

A Missouri paper says that a new Judge
arose to charge the jury and spoke as
follows:
"Gentlemen of the jury, charging a jury
is a new business to me, as this is my first
case. You have heard all the evidence as
we'll as myself. You have heard what the
learned counsel have said. If you believe
what the counsel for the plaintiff has told
you, your verdict would be for plaintiff ;
but if, on the other hand, you believe
what the defendants counsel has told you,
then you will find verdict for the de-
fendant; but if you were like me, and
don't believe what either of them said,
then I'll be d ID if know what you'll do.
Constable, take charge of the jury"

 We had regular western bliz- gard last Sunday night. The mer cury marked 6 degree above zero on Monday morning. while there had fallen about two inch snow during the night. It was our cold est weather this winter.
 Mr. w. H. Finn lost his resi- dence. on South Main St., by fire last Thursday morning. between two and three 0 clock. The loss was total. We understand that there was insurance on the house and furniture but not enough to cover the loss. The origin of the fire is unknown, as no one was at home that night. Mrs. Finn was visiting in Little Rock aud Mr. Finn was spending the night with his brother, MT. Robert Finn, in this city.

The condition of the weather has been such that outdoor work has been impossible, and now just as soon as the weather will permit 1t will be time to pitch their crops. and they will have no time to re pair fences, clean up branches and straighten out their farms, gener- ally. This has been a hard winter and has worked a serious hardship upon all kinds, of interests. The winter of Ioo4-5 will be one long remembered. It will be an era to date from, like the be big snow of the winter of 1870 '. The snow that winter was 36 inches, on the level, in this county.
