The new furniture for the post office has arrived and postmast er Crawford has the same placed in position. The equipment is complete, pretty, attractive and convenient.

Quince Baumgardner, a young white man, of Lowesville", died last Thursday from the effects of a gunshot at the hands of Mrs. Lillie Stiller. Some few weeks ago, Baumgardner' and D. I. Warren, a middle aged man, came to Lovvesville in a drunken con dition. and hunting a fight. First they went into the store of D. A. Lowe & Co., and quarreled with the clerk, at the same timedraw ing a knife and threatening to kill. They were put out of the store aiid then went to a house where several disreputable wo men were staying. Admittance was refused them, and they tried to force their way in. The wo men became infuriated and one of them picked up an old rifle that carried a 54 calibre ball. She raised the gun to fire, but tur ned to the other women and said she did not have the heart for .the deed. Mrs. Stiller then grabbed the gun and fired thro' the door. The ball struck Baum gardner's hand, shattering it completely, and grazed his head. Both men then left the house. The wound refused to heal and blood poisoning set in. Thurs day, the hand was operated on, but Baumgardner died while un der the surgeon's knife. So far, no arrests have been made. Poor old Uncle Peter Ham bright is again in the toils. Uncle Peter was up at the last-term of court for retailing liquor. He was found guilty, but, because of his age, was only required to pay the costs and promise to sin no more.

For several days Uncfe Peter made an honest living, but finding "Jordan a hard road to travel," took to his jug and tin cup and again ministered to the wants of man. His trade began to increase and things looked bright for Uncle Peter till an offi cer approached with a warrant, and now he is looking out from behind the bars and wondering if, witli another judge and a new jury, a second promise to reform would be of any avail.
