and came very near dying.
-The Sentinel says that Mr
M.. 13. Teague and family! who
recently moved to Florida,
Jiave moved back tp Roaring
River. They find old Wilkes

The town authorities could
do nothing more proper and
commendable han to arrange
some place for wagoners to
camp If this town wants any
syagon trade, this will have to

Jot of people in the county who

We want toTnake a sug
gestion to the Masons of' the
towns and surrounding com
munities. Neither town has a
suitable or permanent hail in
which to meet. Masonry can
not properly thrive under such
circumstances. Why not the
two lodges and the Moravian
lodge also join hands and builor
or buy a proper hall and own
it? By doinsr this, we icould
have one of the best lodges in
State. We suggest the breth
ren of these loderes discuss and
think of this matter.

Mrs. M. C. Call's house
narrowly escaped burning
Monday night. . The cook left
the ashes taken from the stove
in a bucket on the porch. The
cook was aroused about 4
I o'clock and found the porch on
fire. The fire by prompt work
was extinguished but a large
portion of the porch was burn
ed. We are getting expressions
of sympathy for our futile at
tempt to capture a qt. of irish
potatoes and a pound of beans,
mentioned last week. But this
does not "fill the aching void"
which the old, the widow and
orphans sometimes feel. The
question is "how much are you
sorry" in those things which
ease "the aching void?"
Old man Frank Bussel and
Will Younger escaped jail Mon
day night about 9 o'clock.
They had made a hole through
the wall with a peice of iron.
When the alarm was givtn,
almost everybody and his dog
went in pursuit. But old man
Bussel got up a hustle and he
hasn't yet been caught, .and
Younger hasn't either. It was
however an occasion when
"there-was a sound of revelry
by night" but with all "Belgi
um's capital gathered there"
the 'prisoners of hope" made
good their escape,
Hort Wiles and William
Younger are now looking out

press, one of the merchant's
cases, of which there are about
125, is being: tried as a test
case.
Later. The test case was
decided in favor of the mer
