There was a crashing and tramp.

hoarse cry of a man was distinctly
heard and it is believed that one OF
the party lin the corn field was struck
and Sergeant Lindsey reported later
to Capt. Dunavant that there were at
least four or five men in the corn
field. This estimate was based upon
the noise which they made in escap.

Another party of night riders had
stationed themselves in the road
about quarter of a mile from the

for the return of their companions,
who had been detailed to open the

After the attacking party had fed
before the soldiers and poined those

riders opened fire on the soldiers.

THAT IS RECORD or 1866 CITIES
OF 10000 POPULATION OR
OVER ACCORDING TO CENSUS
REPORT

The bureau of the census has just
issued it's annual report on the sta
tistics of cities having a population
OF ever 10000 This report covers
the year 1905, and include financial
and other statistics.
Traffic in intoxicating Liquors.
The report presents brief resume
of the laws of the various cities re-
lating to the licensin of dealers and
manufacturers in intoxicating liquors.
1t gives for the 154 cities the fee re-
quired for all classes of liquor
licenses and also the numbmer of
each class of licenses issued. OF
licensed saloonkeepers and clubs
there were for the 1874 cities an aver
age of 1927 for every 10000 inhabi-
tants These saloons were relatives
omre numerous in the larger cities
and less nuerous in cities containing
from $4,000 to 100000 Inhabitants In
cities having populatimon Of over
100000 they numbered "a per 10000
in cities having from
100000 to 100000. 31.5; in cities hay
ing from $4,000 to 100000, 2S. and in
these with less than $4,000. 29,5. Ac.
cording to these statistics the peo-
pie of our cities support one saloon
or club for every 315 people.
Police and Fire Departments.
II is interesting to note that the
number of policemen per 10000
population and the amount of ex
for maintaining the po
lice tend to increase with the size
Of the city, while the opposite tend
ancy is seen in the case of the fire
nen and fire department. The per

A GOOD TINE
FOR JENKINS


Before Harrowscome met girl,
who was the most wonderful crea-
tule the world had ever seen, and
married her. thus retiring into obliv-
ion so far as most OF his friends
were concerned. he and jenkins had
been bosom friends.
Matrimony having whisked Har-
rowscome off TO the suburbs, he and
jenkins had seen little Of each other
In the three years which followed.
Jenkins had paid his wedding call
and had been asked out to dinner,
but suburban time tables finally got
In their deadly work. so II had been
many moons since he and the Hair
rowscomes had met in a social way
Rushing into the bank just be-
fore closing time the other day, .Ien-
kins ran full tilt into Harrowscome.
Why didn't you ever come round
and see u.s." demanded the latter.
Wen have a regular good old time.
Grace has a pretty girl visiting. and
wen play whist. And you have
never seen my boy"
I'm come" said the innocent Jen-
kins, lured by the whist and the
pretty girl. If there is anything he
likes it is good game of cards with
congenial friends and a decent cigar
to follow
Miss Barrett did not belle the rep
utation given her. She was more
than pretty-she WAS charming, Jen-
kins knew 1t the minute he laid
eyes on her. And he was to face
her across the card table all the
evening, besides talking to her at
dinner
1t was after the cigars were fin
ished that the first cloud appeared
Now for the boy" Harrowscome
said, beaming. I've got a treat for
you, Jenk, old man, You're to be
allowed TO come up to the nursery
and see him put TO bed, He's the
greatest fun.
"Oh, certainly" said jenkins, po-
litely
Miss Barrett smiled sweetly and |
said she would read till their re- |
turn, as the nursery was small and |
would not hold crowd jenkins re-
fected that the ordeal would soon !
be over. He surveyed the infant
with the nervous air Of an amateur.
What's you nance" he asked. his !
face contorted by what he felt to be
a smile.
"Oh! pshhaw," broke In Harrows-
come. Indignantly. Don't You know
at all? You'll be offering
him a cigar next.
