HUMAN BONES FOUND.

The remains of human bodies were
found on the river in an excavation
for a bridge connecting the farms OF
Mr.H.B. Chapman. Newspaper CORE :
pondents have made the impressi or
that these were the remains of prison
ers captured and put out of the way,
or in other words murdered in cold
blood. This is most improbable
| theory. Had there been any such dis
position upon the part of the captors,
the prisoners would have been taken
to the mountaini only very short
distance. and there disposed of. Had
these been the bodies of either Confee.
crate or Federal soldiers, some but
tons or other articles would have been
found. There were none.
1t is we'll known fact that some
years ago, a surgeon and some med
! zeal students il that neighborhood,
were 10 the habit of dissecting human
bodies. and the most probable theory
is that the homes were disposed of in
that way in private spot near the
river.
A few men. we have no doubt, were
murdered by bushwhackers of both

nearly all, If not all cases of that kind
were reported in one waF>or another.

AUGUST COURT.

August court was we'll attended
Horse buy ing was not brisk though
some few changed hands. Water
melons made their appearance 90 the
market, but thu prices were so high
that only the rich could indulge In
the consumption OF the luscious
melons.
The speaking of Mr.. Thomas in the
court house held crowd of about
125 people. About half of them were
republicans, who seemed to be much
pleased with the speech. His speech
was highly spoken of by those who
agreed with him and condemned by
those who did not.
The Board of Supervisors met and
accepted the bid of the new Electric
Light Company to light the public
buildings. The old company claims
that theirs was a graded bid aud, in
their opinion, was lower than the
fat bid of the new company.
The Lantz Mill band was on hand
and rendered some of their best

How Not to Catch loads.

Mr.. John Miller, jr. is an excellent
barrel maker and a good fisherman,
but as gatherer of toads for fish
bait, he is not a brilliant sue cess.
Last Tuesday, he followed the route
of some deep ioles dug for electric
light poles. Some of them are deep.
In making an effort to reach the toads
at the bottom of five foot hole, he
plunged in head foremost. His quest
for toads suddenly ceased. He was
beyond the reach of help, but he sue
ceeded in getting out after many
efforts with hands and elbows. When
Re reached home, his suit of clothes
had the fashionable kaka colcr. He
has now determined to catch toads in
some other way.

MILADY RIDING ASTRIDE.


The dear old Confederate veterans
have level heads, even if they are gray
and we are going to say more nice
things about them in the future than
We have done in the past, and we have
SAID good many. But we certainly
do feel ashamed that these men have
found brazen immodesty of the modern
woman
In the recent meeting OF the Confed-
crate veterans at Little Rock they
put themselves on record as being
totally opposed to the vulgarlty of the
new fad of women riding cowboy style
in their professions or anywhere else
The old fellows nearly blushed them
selves to death last year when they
found women riding astride in theil
procession. This year they FORBADE
| it, and drew up set of resolutions
deuouncing it and calling On the south
to start a crusade against fad tina
! may do for hoyden Of the plains, bul
is degrading to Southern lady
They call upon the women of the South
| to maintain their high standards o.
| pure ard chaste conduct, and TO unit.
with them in placing a ban upon 8
fashion that originated with Indian
squaws and was adopted by wild
western hoydens. They conclude the
protest with. "We deem such fema Il
Iexploits as wholly unfeminine, unnat
ural, unseemly, indecorous and abom
inably immodest, and directly con
trary to the proprieties as viewed b.
the great mass of the Southern people
Besoes such pose is ungraceful an(
absolutely destructive of the beautiful
picture of symmetrical woman OF
horseback, and is totally out of har
mony with the eternal fitness of thing,
that we should always endeavor IL
maintain"
Good for you, my dear old veterans
You are lavish in adjectives On this
subject. and we don't blame you bit
| You had real women for mothers anC
Iwlves women who would not b ",
touched a mannish woman with pail
of tongs. A masculine woman aud .
| feminine man are the two greatest mis-
fits OF creation. Each is laughing
stock when they seek to parody the
other.
| The fashionable woman of Little
Rock, many of whom glory in mannisf
costumes and saddles, resent bitterly
this protest of the veterans, and bring
in the medical authorities whom they
say endorse their fashion of riding
Ia the name of heaven, is the nedica
profession responsible for the feminine
vulgarlty that these gray-haired vet
Grams denounce SO bitterly? We pro
test against the world being ruled b.
a profession SO fallibie that the &C.
cepted truth of yesterday is the heres.
today, and that of today will be thu

the limit of dissertation when the.
opened tie holy of holes and cast on
the cup that Christ's hand had hallow
ed and placed there. If they are alst
responsible for women aping men il
