A serious cutting affray
occurred last Thursday up in
Union township. . Adam Staley
stabbed Uriah Faw six times,
and some of the wounds are
serious, one under the arm
reaching to the hollow. From
the report: we get, it appears
that a cro wd of the boys were
drinking and that Staley came
up behind Faw and V began to
stab him -without saying a
word. It seems that they had
had a little difficulty a few
days before. Faw is in bad
shape:

ed; The Landmark has a proper
editorial approving the indict
ment of persons who fail to
list their taxes. The Solicitor
is right in prosecuting such
cases, for everybody knows
that the law requires the list
ing property for taxation and
this virtually has been the law
ever since government existed.
There is no excuse for failing
to list. The Solicitor is right
in this, but he is all wrong in
his "accumlative" process of
running the couuty to a big
expense by indicting merchants
for failing to pay a license tax
before such a law was known
and before the Co.; Corns, made
such a levy, especially when
the merchants promptly -paid
as soon as the law was known,
even befbre demand was - made
by the. Sheriff; There's no
right in such proceedings and
that's what we have oriticised.
