sheriff Hunter got an inkling .
a few days ago that gamblers
congregated at a certain place
below TaXahaw in this county
about 20 miles from the court
house, and drank whiskev and
gambied every Saturday night
and Sundays. So, as bad as
the weather was last Saturday
evening, Sheriff Hunter made
MS way direct to that place, ar
irving there at 10 o'clock in the
night. AS he walked quietly
up to The door of Aaron Mungo
ne heard cursiug over the cards
lie demanded that the door be
opened,which was promptly done
ihere he found, at this negro
house, two negroes and ne Young
white man, standing over a deck
OF cards, which were in front of
the Fireplace on the floor. The
Sheriff told the parties that thew
would have to go with him be.

derIy conduct and il they would
promise him that they would
never be guilty OF such conduct
again he would ask the Magis-
trate TO be as light On them as
ne possibly could. They all free
Iy agreed TO this, and the white
man threw the cards in the fire
and burned them, and said that
ne would never play another
card. The sheriff carried the
three men before Magistrate Ro.
berts and told him about their
promise TO quit their bad conduct
and asked him to'put a light fine
on them. So the good-hearted
magistrate complied with the
sherlif's request by making each
one pay a fine of $500.
1t strikes us that the violators
of the law could soon be put out

jurors would ION iii hcr ard ad-

which they have taken, which is
as follows:

THE GRADEN OPENING.

The attendance at the concert at
the Graden Mercantile establishment
last evening far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations OF the manage
ment. AS soon as the doors were
opened the people began pouring in
and for the next two hours they kept
coming and going. OF course the la
dies predominated, but there was a
general sprinkling of men who ap-
peared to enjoy the occasion as much
as the fairer sex. Every department
was thoroughly inspected. especially
that presided over by Mrs. Sloan, as
every woman admires hat and some
men are mean enough to say that
they are never so happy as when
standing in front of glass with n
new lid" on.
Between s and 9 several vocal and
instrumental selections entertained
the company, the singing of Miss
Lake and Miss Paul being highly com.
plimented. After the floor in the car
pet department was cleared of rugs
and for an hour or so the younger peo-
pie of the company danced waltzes
and two-steps to inspiring music.
Ii was surely an enjoyable evening
and the display of goods in every de
partment was highly commended while
the flowers and potted plants lent
splendor to the scene.

In keeping with the doctrine of those
fantastical persons for whom in all
cases of appendicitis there can be nc
salvation without opening the abdo-
men.
Dread of a relapse, which is held up
as bogey, did not serve to decide
upon the use of the bistori. And this
abstention was upheld by the results
since among 5,115 soldiers (S5 per
cent? who had suffered from appendi-
citis this famous relapse did not take
place, although their sojourn in the
army varied from one to 15 years.
1t appears. therefore, to be well and
clearly established that appendicitis
is an affection which can be submitted
to purely medical treatment, which
cedes above all to purgative medica-
ton, and in which the surgeon should
not intervene save in quite exception
al cases.
After an unjustifiable infatuation for
operating, common sense has claimed
its rights and now people are begin
ming to recognize that by rational
alimentation, aided in case of need
by laxative medication, one can sue
ceed in regularizing the functions OF
the interestines. the irregularity o.
which is the origin of the greater part
of the cases of appendicitis.
