Clay White has invented a new pat
ent on krout cutter. Take a goose
neck hoe to the shop and straighten the
neck and file the blade perfectly sharp
while hot, put it back in the handle
and its ready for use. He says in a
lakewood locality where they have
to go five and six miles to borrow one
that his patent is up to date. He re-
quests all who have cabbage to krout
to try it.

There was little disturbance on
the Ridge last week in way Of chang
ing few chickens in the Bottom up
on the Ridge, and the chickens went to
neighbor's house near by and the
other party came and took them from
under his whiskers and carried them
in home and cut their tails and wings
off. Proof of the pudding was that the
chickens didn belong to either one of
these parties, and in less than three
hours they went home with their tails
and wings cropped and went to roost
at the same place and these two great
chicken DULLES that brought all the
neighbors out to hear their profane
and obscene language, could have av-
oided all this, for the chickens belong
ed to j. N. Williams, and he put a
quietus on the DULLES.
Some parties drove Dykes horses last
Sunday until they were nearly dead
with the thumps. Be careful, boys,
how you handle stock to get to free
dinner, or it might cost you the worth
of good horse. That would be too
bad as you need all you can save up.
Ye writer has had the misfortune to
get mare and mule killed lately by
falling off high embankment, which
had washed out underneath, and when
they got just opposite this place it gave
way and they went down with the
mass of earth, and got wedged between
two logs. 1t was "a hours before they
were discovered, and it was then too
late. They were both dead. They
were all we writer had but those oc-
currances will happen to us through
life.
The maker of those bogus checks
that passed through here to Walden S
Ridge, has failed to answer We writer S
letter. We will see if he fails to an
swer the Sheriff calling pretty soon.
We see that the officials of Chattanoo-
ga have landed two prisoners in Jail
for issuing drafts ON the same bank,
who didn't have funds to defend their
checks. This party is the same one
that issued checks ON the Hamilton Co.
National Bank to the Whitwell Union
Store and one to Lee Smith, one to G..
| W. VanhoOser and is said to have is
sued one to Mr.. Powell. When they
were protested at the Chattanooga bank
this party didn't have a dollar and
never did any business with said band,
and they didn't know him. He was
arrested and brought to J. H. Barker
court. The first case was the union
store, of getting goods under false pre-
tense. Suit compromised by defendant
paying the money back The Other
checks are still out to be executed Later
