Harrisonville, I'd District.-On Sunday
evening last Jacksonville was the scene of bit
ofrowdyism that turned out very unpleasantly
at best, and might easily have resulted in seri-
Gus injury to life and limb of several persons.
Mr.. Simon J. Kemp, auditor of the Citizens
National Bank OF Baltimore, and resident of
three young children, had been calling on Mr..
Kemps brother, Mr.. Francis 8. Kemp, of
Jacksonville, and when about fifty yards from
the gate of the latter, on their return journey
to Granite, were overtaken by three young men
in jolly mood, who were driving toward Balti-
more. The men occupied a runabout and were
driving at high speed, the horse being in run.
Mr.. Kemp's children were on the back seat of
the trap and in the collision with the runabout
the back of the trap was demolished and the
little ones thrown to the ground. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kemp managed to retain their seats, but
the former told your correspondent that he
was afraid to turn his head to look for the chill
dren so certain was he that serious injury had
befallen them. But the old adage that spe-
cial Providence takes care of the helpless ones
made good and beyond fright they were I'M
harmed. The ruffians made no attempt to as
sist the victims of their recklessness but drove,
if possible, faster than before. Messrs. Arthur
e. O'Dell and Birmingham Kelly who. with
their families, were driving near Mr.. Kemp,
narrowly escaped similar collision and imme-
diately went to his assistance. The ladies &C.
companying them were witnesses of the pre-
cipitation of the children and were in very
nervous condition in consequence. The authors
of the trouble were recognized and Mr.. Kemp
declared his intention to prosecute them.

Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis
Thoo Of bo hoo 1oo hoor ri
in many fields and it was pleasing one to the
farmers whose harvest had been much delayed
on account of the wheat crop being backward
in its ripening. For the most part the grain
has been saved in good condition and the yield
promises to be such as to recompense the far
who deserves a good rest after the arduous
duties of harvest are over. The lack of help is
a serious problem with him and the man who
has large acreage to till is often put to his
wits ends in order to get the work done on
time.
