By Bell Telephone to The Observer. Dallas, Nov. 20. Cris Griggs, 17 years old, was killed here to night about 8 o'clock by Arthur Jarrett, another youth of about the same age. The killing occurred in front of Green Brown's store and the weapon used by Jarrett was a pocketknife, Griggs being- cut through the heart and death being almost instantaneous. As soon as he had stabbed Griggs Jarrett ran to his father's home a short distance away, but with the aid of a number of depu ties Sheriff Shuford soon had the house surrounded and Jarrett in custody. Sheriff Shuford got up from his bed, having been sick for some time, and by quick work had the boy's slayer in jail in a short time.

It is alleged that Jarrett had made some slurring re marks about Griggs, which the latter resented when they met to night on the street. A quarrel followed with the result as given.

Stir Caused in Buncombe Court When Announcement That He Had Received Threatening Letter is Made. Special to The Observer. Asheville, Nov. 19. Judge Ward created something of a stir in Superior this afternoon shortly before adjournment when he an nounced from the bench that he had received through the mails a threatening auonymous communi cation, and directing that the chief of police of the city be notified to appear in court to-morrow morn ing with his police officers for such instructions as the court shall give. Judge Ward declared that the threatening communication would not deter him from his pur pose to put a stop to lawlessness in Asheville and break up "blind tiger" in fact, the court declared that it made him all the more de termined, and intimated that those appearing before him charg ed with the illicit selling of whis key and convicted'would fare bad- iy. The threatening letter was re ceived by Judge Ward after a two days trial of three men, Black, Doau and Watson, charged with maintaining a nuisance iu the con duct of a soft drink establishment ending with the conviction of the trio and the sentencing of each to two years on the county roads; but it is not believed the letter has any connection with the case. Just what the court will have to say to the city police force is not made known. It is intimated, however, that he intends giving them instructions to make a con certed and systematic raid on places where it has been rumored liquor is sold. Judge Ward, presiding over the present term of Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases, which convened Monday, has struck ter ror into persons charged with re tailing and other alleged to be con nected in the illicit sale of whis key. In opening court Judge Ward announced that he would give the right of way for "liquor cases" and gave instructions that several defendants charged with violation of the law and out on bond be taken into custody. r Then the trials commenced and when the smoke cleared five alleged "blind tigers" had been convicted and sentenced to the roads. They were given from twelve months to two years each. ; The quiDtette had beenjried previously in cicy police court, convicted and fined. They didn't accept the judgement of the police court and appealed. It is declared to-day that Ashe ville is "drier" than at any time in its history. There is little evi dence of whiskey being sold here noff. In fact, it is declared that persons having whiskey after learning how Judge Ward was dealing with "blind tigerism" ac tually pourd the "wet" goods on the ground. It is said that a "re form crusade" has Jeen undertak en and that the city authorities have determined to stamp out "blind tigerism" and other law lessness which it is alleged has existed for months.

She gave suggestions as to im proving school rooms and grounds; the making of the school, a home for the childreu, and advised par ents to visit their childreu in the schoolroom. The speaker urged the training of the youth, saying that training makes power where as ignorance is a menace to civili zation. One of the strongest points given, was that the ignor ance of a neigbor may cause ser ious harm to ones own household. Though your own premises may be scrupulously clean and sanitary diseases may be carried to your home from the neighbors, who is unclean and careless. Mrs. -Mc Iver urged such training and sur roundings of the" child " in school that in the homes of the coming generations, conditions will be found to exist as they should.

Mr. Ceph Blanton and Miss Mattie Shuford United in the Holy Wedlock Wednesday Afternoon at Rutherfordton. A quiet, but happy and beauti ful marriage was solemnized in the parlors of the Iso-Thermal Hotel, Rutherfordton, on Wednesday af ternoon, immediately upon the ar rival of the Seaboard train, the contracting parties being Miss Mattie Shuford and Mr. Ceph Blanton, a well known and popu lar couple in Shelby's social circles. There was a flavor of the roman tic about this happy union in the secretiveness of the prospective bride and groom with reference to their plans. It has been whispered about that a marriage was surely to be solemnized but no one knew exact ly when and where the interesting event was to occur. However when the groom took the Seaboard train Wednesday at noon arrayed in his glad raiment all doubt was dispelled. At Ellenboro he was joined by the attractive bride who was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Pink Rollins, of Henrietta. Ar riving at Rutherfordton the party took carriages and were driven to the Iso-Thermal Hotel, where mine host Bruce Clark stood ready to receive them. Mr. H. I. Washburn, of this place, acting as best man, had pre ceded the bridal party on an early train and all arrangements had been perfected for the nuptial The hotel parlor was tastefully decorated, and in the presence of a few chosen friends, the ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Cathey. Cleveland Star. The above will be of interest to many of our people as the popular bride has a host of friends and rel atives throughout Lincoln county, being a daughter of Mr. Dave Shuford who lives near Grace church. Thanksgiving Day. The stereotyped "Of course!" greeted the president's Thanks giving proclamation. "Of course, it comes on the last Thursday iD November! Always has and al ways will. Never a president who would even think of any other date, and much less dare to name one!" But there was a president who dared to do it, and did it. An drew Johnson did more than one thing that was out of the ordinary, as pursued by- his - predecessors, and in 1865, when he had been in the Executive chair but little more than six months, he issued his first Thanksgiving proclamation, and appointed the first Thursday in December as the "annual day of thanksgiving and prayer." The The several governors conformed to the change, the governor of Rhode Island alone dissenting and standing by the old way. Little Rhody ate its turkey on Novem ber 30, and elsewhere the bird was served on December 7. President Johnson had an eye on the meeting of the Thirty-ninth Congress when he wrote that proclamation, and was satisfied that the legislators needed the grace of humility, and some other graces. Charles Sumner and Thad dcus Stevens were doing a thing or two that week, and before the tur key and crauberry sauce were on the table the most violent politi cal contest iu American history had begun. The Thanksgiving sermons were fiery, and the tabas co was tasted December 7, and not November 30. Hartford Times. Mr. R. B.
