To The Public.

On Monday morning between 8 and
4 O'Clock we had the misfortune to
loose our bank building by fire. The
cause of the fire we have been unable
so far to ascertain. To day, after a
full meeting of our directors, we had
workmen tear down our vault, and IN
it found everything in good shape
The safe was opened and the money
was in perfect condition.
The directors decided to rebuild ln-
mediately, and in the meantime open
up and continue business in the brlck
building adjoining E. G. Dreher & 90.
We wish to say that we were tully IN
sured, both building and furniture.
Gail on us in our new quarters.

The State against c Hudson for
assault and battery with intent to
kill, committed upon W P Baker at
the livery stable of the latter in
Kinpstree on March II was found
guilty only of assault and battery OF
a high and aggravated nature by a
Jury after considering his case for
nearly three hours. Hudson was
ably represented by Attorney Leroy
Lee, while Solicitor Stoll represented
the commonwealth. Sentence: Five
years in the penitentiary at hard
labor, or on the county roads.
Unusual interest was centered in
this case, as it was looked upon for
some time by the people of King
stree as very serious affair, due to
the critical condition of Mr. Baker
as result of the shooting, which
seems to the general public to have
been entirely unprovoked.
