Dr. Chapin was called in to dress the wounds and found that the cuts were very near the jugular vein but fortunately had missed it and were therefore not of a serious nature. ; Horton made his escape after the assault and has not -yet been arrested. Catlle Tick Quarantine. Mr. R. M. Connell, the gov ernment cattle tick inspector for this district, tells us that the work of eradicating the cattle tick in this county, which he has been engaged in for over two years now, is progressing very satisfactorily. As an illustration of this, he cited a day's work one day last week when fifteen farms were inspected and only one tick found on the cattle on those farms. Mr. Connell states that on and after the first of ' July all cattle found to be infested with ticks will be quarantined at their sta bles and not allowed to run at large in a pasture. Only by do ing this, he says, can the county be released from the quarantine this year, which it is his inten tion of having done, if possible. Precinct Meetings. We again call attention to the Democratic precinct meetings whi.ih will bo held throughout the county next Saturday after noon at 3 o'clock. These meet ings will be presided over by the chairmen of the various precinct executive committees and dele gates will be selected to the coun ty convention which meets here Saturday, July 2d. While each precinct is entitled to a certain number of votes in the conven tion, yet as many delegates may be chosen as the precinct meet ing may wish. The new precinct executive committees will not be elected at these meetings, but will be cho sen at the precinct meetings July 23d when delegates will be sent to the county convention to nom inate candidates for county offi ces. The convention here July 2d will elect delegates to the Sen atorial, Congressional, Judicial and State Conventions. i" Pensioners' Burial Expenses. For the information of the fam ily and relatives of deceased Con federate pensioners, we again call attention to the law enacted by the special session of the leg islature in 1908 providing for the payment of the burial expenses of "pensioners who die. As we have had several inquiries about this matter, we print below the act in full,, which is as follows: "Whenever in "any county of this State, a Confederate pension er on- the, pension roll of . said county shall'-dieit shall be 'the duty' of the board of commission ers of such county, upon the cer tificate of said fact by the clerk of the superior court, and recom mendation of the chairman of the pension board of said county, to order the payment out of the gen eral fund of the county of a sum not exceeding twenty dollars ($20) to be applied toward the defraying of the burial expenses of such deceased pensioner."

Several peo ple, who were near the Commercial bank yesterday, saw .the finest display of real horse sense ever seen in Waynes ville, but the sight was enough to cause cold shivers to run over them. One of Colonel Jones' fine blooded horses, "on voyage of. discovery," walked out upon .the ledge between the railing around the court-house and Denot street. The letlgeat one end where the horse went on is about eight feet wide but gradually narrowed toward the oth er end. The street is some twelve feet below and a perpendicular rock wall is built up from the street to the ledge. Without seeing his danger the horse. a large beautiful animal, while running loose in the yard back of the court-house, walked out upon the ledge and contin ued to go for some twenty, yards until he saw that his path was growing too narrow for his comfortable advance. Attempting then to - turn he saw the extreme danger .of fallirtg down the em bankment, which would have meant broken limbs and probable death, the horse displayed real "horse sense," in stopping and considering what was best to.be done. After a seemingly thoughtful consid eration of the whole situation, the horse began to back as if -un tier the spell of an expert trainer. That- he did until a point was reached on the ledge where the turn could be made "With safety, when, bringing his feet together for a pivot he made the turn successfully and galloped off the scene. The noble ani mal was applauded as he left the stage. and crying, "Go it, Reuben! You are It, with a twenty-four point I !" The farmer no longer lives irt a wea ther beaten house adorned with a leaky roof and a tumble down" front porch.

There was a time when the farmer was an humble citizen, whose principal business was . paying the "fiddler and voting cheap skates in political offices. Now all that is changed. The farmer is the most independent, up-to-the-minute, got-more-wliere-that-came-fromish individual at large around the country!
