The skies ar, bright with vrrnal cheer,
The wintry chill IS Ger;
The etalwart help doth new appear
To clean the house once more.
The man with terror in his eye

The woman with tn" broom.
The muck rake man now hides his head,
The whitt-WaSh man turns pale,
Another figure in their stead
We TREMENDOUSLY hail

III err's none who Will presume
To trifie with her fierce intent,
The woman with the broom.

WHISKY THE CAUSE.
Two Men Quarrel at Station-0n is
 Seriously Stabbed, the Other
in Jail.

In difficulty which took place at the railroad eating house this morning about 4 o'clock, between w. A. McPherson, brakeman, and J. w. Crawford, a fireman, the latter was stabbed four times Tn the body with pocket knife, but fortunately the wounds in- t1icted proved 10 be not of very serious character. Soon after the two combatauts had been separated McPherson was placed under arrest and the injured man taken to his room and Dr. w. C.. Vandiver summoned who dressed and stitched up his wounds.
 From the best informat ton ob- tainable, 1t seems that both men were under the influence of whisky and while engaged in a discussion 1t is said that Mc- Pherson made an indecent re- mark about the women of the South to which Crawford took exception aud in a very few moments the two men came together and before they could be separated Crawford received four knife wounds in the body.
 A charge of assault with in tent to kill was preferred against McPherson and on being taken besore Squire Sam H. Smith this morning at 9 o'clock he asked that his examining trial be postponed until Friday morning at 10 o'clock, which request was granted him.
 Pending his examining trial on next Friday the court fixed his bond at Sl,000 and not being able to make this bond he was sent to tue county jail.

other words, the actual settlers will get
the first benefit of the arra5as- e:sae:ls~

Representative John Sharp Williams
tells tale of the days when he was
counsel for q railway in one of the
Southern states.
1t appears that st one point on isa
line the company had stationed all old
negro watchman, whose duties consist
ed In warning travellers down a highway
crossing the tracks when a train ap-
preached. One night wagon belong
ing to farmer was struck resulting in
bad accident. The company WAS of
course, sued for damages. and at the
trial the old darley was the principal
witness for his employers. He replied
to the questions put to him in clear
direct fashion. Among thcs questions
was one as to whether he was sure that
he had swung his lantern across the
road when he perceived the train ap-
proach. The negro replied:
81 shorely did. sah.''
The trial resulted in q verdict for the
company. and Mr. Williams, as counsel,
took early occasion to complement the
aged negro on his excellent testimony.
To which the latter replied:
"ThanEee, Marse John, but l was

GrOW Spring Wheat

The light snow which covers
the ground promises to be of i'm
inense value to farmers. Before
the recent moisture fell. those
who plowed or stirred the ground
found it in surprisingly mellow
condition. despite the small
amount of precipitation this win
ter. Of course, the kickers, "
or Knockers" could not see
any show for a crop" They
never can.
The present moisture will be
of inestimable value to those who
are about to SOW spring wheat,
rye, cats. or millet. There will
be an immense acreage seeded
to wheat this year in the county
and all who want to travel in the
band wagon had better put in q
crop to provide good feed for
next winter. The durum wheat
grown in this county last year
produced a crop in places where
there was no rainfall at all dur
ing the growing season and did
much better where moisture fell.
There should be ten thousand
acres seeded TO wheat and other
grains of its class in this county
this spring.
