the women who were defrauded of mon

The case against II. L. Glower was
nol prosed, while in the case against
W. H. Hester the prayer for judgment
was continued.
At the October term Judge Eoyrl will

A New School in Town.
An effort is being made to secure the
Hicks residence on Mam street for the
purpose oi opening a school therein. If
secured, the building will receive such
changes, improvements and additions as
may be deemed necessary to fit it for the
conveniences of a modern school. It is
the intention of the managers of the
scheme to run it upon the graded .school
principle, and the core of teachers, we
pre told, will be the veiy test that can
be procured for the class of work. We
are told that we are indebted to our en
terprising board of town aldermen, and
the. wide-awake trustees of the town
academy, for the instigation of the new
enterprise which bids fair to be of great
benefit and convenience to the children
of the town.
Unique.
Whenever Amos Owen, the modest
proprietor of Cherry Mountain, walks
the streets of this city he immediately
becomes the object on which all eyes
rest. He is the kind of a looking per
son that fought in the Mexican War.
He wears a short homespun coat, an
open work shirt, and a beaver with the
fur always stroked the wrong way. The
beaver sits on the corner of his head,
pointing backward at an angle of 45 de
grees. The pattern of the hat is more
unique than many other relics of the
last century. Mr. Owen is never frus
trated. He is as quaint as an old spin
ning wheel a rare simple old curio.

but for the last few days the complaint

several weeks since the ground was wet.
