Seasonable Advice.

AT the opening of court on Monday
morning Judge Reed gave the con-
stables of the county some seasonable
advice upon their duty as fire wardens,
under authority of the act of assembly,
making it very clear to them that the
law was meant to be observed. Incl.
dentally the Court delivered the Off
hand opinion that while he did not con-
slider all the Office holders in Jefferson
county as saints he thought they COM
pared very favorably with those hold
ing like positions in other counties in
the state, and that so far as Jefferson
county was concerned the assertion
made in some quarters that forest fires
were more frequent since the constables
become fire wardens was a base slander.

BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
Prominent Citizen Charged With Trifing
With Widows Affections.

For some time, it is alleged, one of
our prominent citizens has paid more or
less attention to young and beautiful
widow of this town, forgetting or at least
not needing the advice of the immortal
Mr.. Weller to his son Samuel to "be-
ware of the vidders."
He now claims that he was not serious
in his intentions and that he was not
attached to her, but however that may
have been the widow became attached
to him, and as he seems to haYe lost in
terest in the matter she has attached
his property, which is form of attach
ment that he does not enjoy.
The result is that he finds himself the
defendant in first-class breach of
promise case and his questionable atti-
tude towards the widow will be given
an airing in Centennial hall on Thurs
day evening, April Goth, under the
auspices of the Helping Hand Society,
for whose benefit the proceeds will be
devoted.
In other words, it will be a Mock
Court Trial, and it promises to be one
of the most enjoyable affairs of many
years, as large number of our leading
people will participate in the proceed
ings.
The committee having the trial in
charge have engaged Col. A. " New
ton, the lawyer-lecturer, Of Worcester,
Mass, to attend to the details and per-
sonally conduct the entertainment.
Col. Newton has had remarkable sue
cess in conducting similar entertain
ments and without doubt the breach of
promise trial will be here, as elsewhere,
an event long to be remembered with
pleasure.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE German

several months stocking up with
American products in anticipation Of
the new tariff Her purchases from
US in hams, bacon, lard and similar ar
ticIes were in November from three to
five times as great as in the correspond

movement has been increasing rapidly
since that time. The agricultural por-
tiens Of Germany, which sell products
TO neighboring countries to some extent,
chiefly Belgium, ana buy from the United
States, have been doing less Of this, ia
anticipation of increased prices at home,
and our sales to this low country have
corTespondingly increased This specu.
latiye movement In Germany indicates
that real war is expected Az far az
known here no American importers OF
German go5ds have begun to stock up
in anticipation OF retaliatory tariff
on our part. The prospects are now that

out any adjustment Of the question.
The tariff war will then begin. The
transition from the sensational EXPORT
demand of the present time to the cur
tailment which may be expected will
be liable to arouse Western sentiment
in favor Of a more liberal tariff policy.
