Peter Spade and Mary Morgan,
both OF whom are negroes. were Be
fore Justice Of the Peace Beverly
Matthews Friday on the charge OF
illegal cohabitation. 1t seems that
the man and woman have been living
together in such an open manner that
their conduct became offensive TO
neighbors, and the matter was re-
ported to Justice Matthews. who had
the guilty parties brought before
him. The defendants were repre-
sented at the trial by Mr. W. c.
Meek, but the proof was so positive
that he could find no defense, and
his clients. were thrown upon the
mercy OF the court. Spade was fined
twenty-five dollars and his concubine
ten, the man having been given a
larger fine than the woman because
he has a wife living, while the OBJ
ject Of his Illicit love is unmarried
John Tate and Cornelia Stepp were
up before Justice Matthews Friday
on the charge OF disorderly conduct
The man and woman became involv-
ed in dispute over some trivial mat
ter, and scrap ensued. They were
fined five dollars each.

The Leading Paper of the countyi
Brisht-Breezy-Bellic =BustIinx

A general mass meeting of our most respected citizens and citizenesses was called in the Town Hall last Tuesday evening by Jed Peters, the intelligent teacher of our publick school, to take some steps if possible lords the creek shion of a new school house, during the summer vacashion.
 Once before, three yeers ago, or whereabouts, an effort was made to agi- tate some plan through wich a new building would result, but as it hap pened in midsummer nobuddy seemed to care raw potato, and as time flowed unostentashiously on it was soon for gotten and them as had talked erbout it gave it up in disgust.
 Jed Peters called the meeting to or- der last Tuesday night and stated that the objeckt of it was to see if he could arouse suffishent interest amongst the citizens to get them to vote for a new school building He stated that a new schoolhouse in Bingville would be. not only luckshury, but also a necessity and would do more good than enny- thing else lords making the scholars feel interested in their studies and more punctual in attendance. Jed sed it would be a good cal cheaper in the end for the town to tear down the old school house and build a new one outen the old lumber and bricks insted of patch ing up a ole building wich ain't good for nothink Jed sed he was turrible in favor of a new building and if the selectmen didn't have the money in the town treasury to pay for it he would suggest that a publick subscripshon pa per be started and the balance of the cost be paid from same, and he would therefore contribute one dollar tords it. Jed then told them assembled that the questshion was open for discusshion and ast whoever desired to give their views.
 Hez Andrews got up and sed he was awful anxious to see new building put up, and jest to show how anxious he was he would add as his contribu- shion the magnanimous sum of 25 cts. to what Jed had give, making a grand total of SIPS. Hez then went to sit down, but Ike Doolittle, who had come in late, took Hezz's chair, so Hez set on the floor the rest of the evening. Yves Woodruff, our hunter and trap per, got up and give a quarter. He paid his contribushion in cash, and Jed dis covered afterwards that it was a ole 2Oc. piece. Cy Hoskins. one of our most respected citizens, rig up and sed while he was leetle mite short of reddy money, being as he was suffering somewhot from fnanshial stringency, he would be willing to donate $25 the fol- lowing week after making his colleck- shions over to the Go. seat This was greeted with tremendous applause.
 Cy was followed by HenrWeathers- by, our general store keeper, who sed he would give equal amt providing them as present whot owed him would

BARN DANCE
Held by the Sassiety Leeders in Town Hall. Everybody teF
 Present

The biggest and most awful pleasing soshal event wich has happened this year took place last Friday night when barn dance was held fin Town Hall aided and abetted by the leading citizens of Bing- viIIe, and 1t proved a turribie big success. The dance was to have been held in Cy Hoskins' big barn and tickets was printed to that effeckt, but when Cy saw how menny people had bought tickets and thot it all over, he cAlkilated the barn would be packed so full like as not the sides would be pushed out and let all his hay fall down and kill somebuddy and he would be jerked up before the court and fined s7 or ss. So Cy talked with the Town Hall and fxt up the stage with hay and straw. grain bin. etc. to repre- sent a barn.
 The Blngville Horn Band was engaged for the event. and every member showed up by the time the dance was haff over. Hank Dewberry footed his old bass horn all the way from his house to the hall and almost skeerd the life outen some people who thort 1t was ottomobile coming.
 Promptly at 7:SO Jed Peters. our in- telIigent school teacher, stood up on tho stage and announced that the boys would play several seleckshions and then would come the grand march. With that the boys started to play Annie Laurie" and was stopt after a few bars by Snide Peters, who plays the eornet, who claimed the pitch was too high for him to reach the high notes, so they beginned over agane one octave lower. Snide broke down after all being as 1t is the hardest piece of musick the band plays, After anuther seleckshion Miss Milly Under wood sung a song and the band played the chorus and everybuddy applauded. Then came the grand march led by Miss Sally Hoskins and her father. follerd by Miss Amelia Tucker and Rube Sproul, I who roomer says they are engaged, as Rufe was seen talking to her down to the P O. twice this last week
 After the band boys rested a spell they struck up a lively piece and everybuddy fell to and danced until they was al- loryer and legal light, and Postmaster Higgins got out on the uoor ana cut up like a couple of schoolboys until Eph stept on Phoebe Hlderbrand's new dress and tore 1t from the plackett to the floor. Phoebe got purty mad over 1t and told Eph she would scratch his eyes out if he ever dared to tare another dress of hern Seth Dewberry walkt over and placed Eph under arrest and Eph he turned pail around the gills. Then Bill Hepburn come up and ast Seth If he knowed that 1t was a States prison offence for a con- stable to arrest a servant of the govern ment At that Seth he got white as a sheet and withdrew the arrest and appolo- gized to Eph. saying he was only fooling ennyway and sed he expedited to buy whole lot of stamps this week to mail out dog license notices with. With that they both shook hands and took seats together.
 Bud Hinckley, who ain't quite right in his head. was put outen the hall by Seth Dewberry for running between the dancers and dragging a old piece of stove funnel after him and tripping up several couples. Bud didn't mind it enny, howsomever.
