Roy Coats, who was sent to the asy-
lum at Hopkinsville last June, has

mind and body.

ing corn with a rush since the sum-
mer has started.

R., near here, is being pushed with
all possible speed and We hope to hear

Reports of shooting between the
Peach and Coghill factions of the jim
go feud came in every day last week.
The latest up to this writing was
that late Saturday evening Tom Cog
hill and Andrew Peach fired four or
five shots at each other. Nine shots
in all were fired. At the close of
the fight, Coghill retired and Peach
stopped firing. Coghill sent to Hart
ford for reinforcements and his faith
err. w. H. Coghill, arrived some time
in the night. From some cause the
elder Coghill discharged his gun ac-
cidentally and the gun kicked him all
over and he was sent back to Hart
ford to be patched up. The strange
thing about the whole affair is that
out of all this shooting no one has
been hit. The immediate cause OF
the last shooting was that Coghill ac-
cused the Peaches of setting his fence
on fire, which the Peaches deny.
April 29-The Sunday School at
this place is getting along nicely. In
addition to the school, they have a

ford the 18th of May at the conven-
ton, as the people seem to be inter-
ested in the nomination of railroad
We have good men
and the voters ought to go out
and work for their choice.
Sulphur Springs is a very quiet lit
tie town and you don't see people
coming in on Sunday and carrying
off loads of goods as though it were
a week day, neither after their mail
The people here respect the Sabbath.
| think every business man should
do likewise and keep his business
house closed on the Sabbath.
