la Tka Mayor's ConrL
At Moodsy morning's session
of Mayor Bradley’s court L,. P.
Cline, an operative at the Mo
dena Cotton Mill, was tried on a
charge of assaulting his wife. A
fine of $25 and cost was imposed
and be was required to give a
six month’s peace bond of $100.
Cline is a man of rmtber desperate
reputation. Two years ago be
shot Deputy Sheriff Robert
Rhyne, who was endeavoring
to arrest him on tbe same charge
on which be was tried yesterday.
The bullet struck s button mud
was thus prevented from accom
plishing its intended work. Cline
has on various occasions made
threats that he wpold kill any
policeman or other officer who
should endeavor to arrest him,
and is considered a desperate
character. Pet Howell ana John
Brown, two inhabitants of Reid
Row. were tried on a charge of
gambling, but sufficint evidence
was not presented and they were
discharged.

sapper t There was ambrosia
that tickled the sooll There
were cakes world without end.!
Ah, they were the fragrant
triumphs of cookery—the very
poetry of epicureanism. I can’t
say too much about the supper—
