Biters Bitten.

Saturday afternoon the streets
were agog with story of prank
and there was almost as many
stories as people on the street.
Deciding that things were decid-
edly mixed, we went to the City
Marshal to straighten the stories
for us.
He threw up his head and when
the hearty laugh was finished, said:
There's nothing in it and nothing to
it. Rev. Weeks and some of the
boys, George Turner, Dent Owen,
Warren Fuqua and Dick Asbury,
got a skeleton somewhere and was
going to have some fun with the
nieeers" down at the graveyard,
and John L. Owen and some others
thought that they would also have
some fun, so they had the first
party of gentlemen arrested, held
for trial, tried and fined $40. But
it showed the parson was dead
game for he was going to pay the
fine for the boys.
NO, there was nothing in it"
And that is the wey, what we
thought a sensation, was wound up.

High links.

There has been high jinks at the
Widow Nash home near New
Market. north of this city.
q Doug Carlton has been supposed
to look after her comfort and pleas
ure for year or so and finally it
seems that she had other sweet
hearts and then
One night last week some forty
neighbors decided that the limit
had been reached and paid the
Nash home a visit. They found
Carlton there and told him to 20
and never return. He promised
and went.
They found one Henry Kimball
there and according to one of the
neighbors, he got gay and we
whipped him."
We found in the poverty strick-
en- cabin, Mrs. Nash, 16-year-old girl
and boy, and told all of them that
in the future either behave them
selves or take the consequences"

The most noted horses the world
has ever produced were the Arabi-

turieS has been a noted fact that
stallion and mare equal in all
points, in those countries are not
equal in price, for the mare fetches
from two to four times the price of
the stallion and those people pedi-
gree from the dam or mare and not
from the sire or stallion. An Amer
lean horsenan cannot, at least will
not, give the reason why the Eng

COULD INTRODUCE THEM ALL.
One Guest, at Least, at Dinner Party
Who Knew the Host.

In a volume lately published in Lon
don, "Piccadilly to Pail Mall" there is
this queer anecdote of the vagaries OF
social life in the capital: Some years
ago an emine.lt parsonage accepted.
or suggested, a dinner with a certain
millionaire, at that time compare
lively unknown. The first guest to ar
rive, having explained to the butler
that being unacquainted with his host
he would wait till some one else came
who could introduce him, fingered in
the hall. The second was in the same
predicament, as were the third,
fourth, fifth, and other guests up to
the ninth, who CHANGED to be "the
eminent parsonage" himself Upon
the dilemma being explained to him,
he cheerfully said: @Oh, come along
with me. 1 will introduce you ALL
know him"
