dolph Center Friday evening, March G..
Mr.. Dixon is a lecturer of rare ability.
You will not be compelled to listen to
something dry as dust, but will hear
something worth while and told to you
in such a magnetic way by born orator
that you will have something to think of
the rest of the winter. Many people
think a lecture is not worth attending,
and as a rule they have been poorly pat
ronized by people of this community.
However, this year the committee con
cluded il they had one to have a good one,
so Mr.. Dixon was the man chosen to con-
vert the people into liking good lecture.
He costs double the money of any lecturer
of the previous winters. Mr.. Dixon Is a
brother of the novelist, Thomas Dixon,
Jr., author of "The Leopard's Spots, -
1.-THE Traitor" etc. That ought to help
some. Be sure and use your own season
ticket and see that others use theirs.
You will not be sorry that you came.
There was considerable excitement in
the highway near Herbert Campbell's
last Tuesday morning. As near as the
facts are attainable, III. L. Douglass was
drawing wood and had been accus-
toned to draw and pile wood opposite
Campbelps house on the side Of the
ROAD next TO NJ. y. hOWelIs lanu ana
used in adding to such loads as he could
draw there. Tuesday morning he came
to the wood that he had left there prev
iously and commenced piling it on his
sled when a young man who had been at
work for Mr.. Douglass, but then for
Campbell, came out to Douglass and
asked pay for his work while at Doug
lass. A wordy encounter ensued that
ended in some blows, but not serious,
whereupon Campbell appeared on the
scene and a further wordy conflict fol-
lowed, in which the wood flew furiously
between Douglass and Campbell. Mr..
Douglass showed much bruised face
and head, while Campbell had his arm
bandaged. Douglass reached the states
attorney first and showed his wounds.
Campbell was about half an hour later
and exhibited his wounds. The states
attorney made complaint against both for
disturbing the public peace and the tran
guilty of the community, and they were
brought before Justice Vail and after a
definition of law governing and apple
able to such matters, both entered plea
of guilty and Justice Vail entered a mild
reproof of IS fine for each and costs and
each paid s10.75 and was quite sore
besides.
