COLUMBIA GETS
next CONFERENCE.
Decided at the, Present Session at
Central City Without Dissent
ing Vote. \

Without dissenting vote the confer
ence selected Columbia as the place OF
the meeting next year. The Rev. A,
R. Kasey, pastor of the Methodist
church at Columbia, invited the confer
ence to convene there on behalf OF the
people of his town. The Rev. w. "A.
Hines, presiding elder of that district,
said no better town could be selected
than Columbia. The Conference was
entertained at that place four years
ago, and now, he says, they are better
prepared to entertain the visitors than
before. No other town was a candl-
date. 1t was generally expected that
the Rev. F. M. Thomas, of Owensboro,
would place that city before the confer
ence as a candidate, but he remained
silent when Bishop Hendrix announced
that it was the next business to be ia
ken up.-Courier Journal.
AS above stated the Louisville econ
ference was entertained here four
years ago, and we feel sure in saying
that our citizens will be highly pleas
ed at again having the pleasure OF en-
pertaining this body. We are better
prepared than ever before to accommo-
date large gathering, our citizenship
having nearly doubled, the Transports
ton facilities improved, and, in every
way the town has so advanced as to
make a meeting of this kind more
pleasant than before.

GUARANTEED
Are Cumberland County Cattle on
Account Of Ticks...lnspectors
Warn the Shippers.

Government Inspectors have been
quietly at work in Cumberland for some
time and noting the existence of Sow
tick" among cattle, quarantined the
county and placed restriction on own
ers to sell or remove infested stock un-
der penalty of having such stock con-
iscated and the owners subjected to a
heavy fine. The 'tick" was brought
into the county on cattle from Tennessee
and is Knockout to the cattle trade
from that section.
That bordering counties will be invad-
ed by this pest, despite the quarantine,
is feared from the fact that IN the dying
of one grown tick is but the breeding of
hundreds of new ones.
Cattle thus ravaged are often thrown
into 'Texas fever" which is conta-
gious and much dreaded by cattle rails
ers.
The situation is not pleasant one for
the business interests of Cumberland.
Being chiefly a corn producing county
farmers will find it difficult to utilize
their product, with profit, by feeding it
to hogs for their nearest shipping point
is forty miles away AS the quarantine
is lifted only during December and Jan.
uary, ie is likely that the cattle puasuit
will be abandoned and the corn and 9th.

boat in the spring when the river is nav.

10 RUSSELL ASSAILED
By Ben A. Shreve at Merrimac--
An UnWarranted Attack.

Last Tuesday Mr.. 10 Russell,
travelling salesman of this city, was
assaulted and stabbed by Ben A. Shreve,
a merchant at Merrimac, Taylor coun-
ty. Fortunately the wound is not Sc
rious one, and Mr.. Russell will resume
his duties in a few days.
We learn from gentleman who was
at Merrimac last week, that Mr. Rus
sell entered Shreve's store and while
attempting to make sale of lard,
dispute arose. The merchant claiming
that another dealer in the village was
selling the same quality of lard, and
Mr.. Russell stated that he was quite
positive that such was not the case, as
he was the only representative of his
house in that section. Shreve became
excited and said; ''Do you mean to call
me liar in my own house?" and before
Russell could speak, the merchant at
tempted to strike him. Joe warding off
the blow and knocking Shreve to the
floor. At this juncture Russell was
given a severe blow by son of Shreve.
Immediately the combatants were part
ed, and Mr.. Russell left the store pur-
sued by the merchant who had secured
a butcher knife, and who inflicted an
ugly wound in the feshy part of his
right shoulder. 1t is claimed that
Shreve was under the influence of liquor,
and from the reports we have received,
there was no provocation to justify the
cutting. l.
Mr.. Russell is one of the most con-
genial young men on the road. Always
in good humor, and pleasant and cour-
teous with every body. In fact he is an
exception in this particular.
Shreve was arrested, and his exam
lining trial will come up this week.

Editor Herdld:-The second game
Of the series between Pamplin and
Burkeville Baseball teams was played
at Burkeville on Saturday afternoon,
August 4th, at $3.50 o'clock.
1t was Burkeville's game up TO the
fifth inning when Pamplin began to
pile up runs by hard hitting and ex-
cellent base-running until the sixth
inning, when the umpire, Ia Burke
willie man without regard to rules or
precedent began to make the most
marked and prejudiced decisions
against Pamplin, which no self re-
specting team could stand for, the
Pamplin team left the field In disgust.
The umpire then finding that they
could win in no other way, gave the
game to Burkeville by the official score
OF 9 20. In this decision the umpire
was sustained by the very players who
AN'NAfNA NAAN AAAOcA hlNaA-
ment when at Pamplin. 1t will be re-
membered that Pamplin won easily in
the first game by score Of IL to 3,
and Burkeyille threw up the game IN
the sixth inning to catch the train for
home. The bad treatment which the
Panplin team received at the hands
Of the umpire and baseball team Of
