The business has out grown the switchboard and Mr. George cannot fill orders for phones until the arrival of an additional equipment, which however, he expects very soon. Upon its arrival many new phones will be added. Among the list numbers are: 47. J. S. Caughman, residence. 48. Lexington Ice Plant. 49. John Wilson, residence. 50. J. R. Richardson, residence. Among those who will get new phones, are: Drafts Hotel, Sam M. Rikard, Auditor Dent, Court House, Miss Gable and S. B. Shipp at Irene.

A dispatch from San Antonia, Tex., ; eceived yesterday states that a mo- j ;ion has been made to dismiss the case j igainst Rufus Williams of this city. j charged with assault and robbery. The j notion was made by the assistant dis -rict attorney of Bexar county and | vill be granted, the ground being that \ he trial can not proceed because of j he absence of the State's most im- i Dortant witness, Mrs. Sallie A. Gib- } ion. The case will be racalled as a most emarkable one. Williams accompanied Mrs. Gibson to Texas and there ;he charged that he took $60,000 in pash from her. Williams was arrested within an hour and tried later, after peing released on bond. The jusy failid to agree. Another charge of assault was also brought against him and this pase will also be dropped, the district ittorney stating that he can not get Mrs. Gibson to attend. Williams has returned to thi9 State and is now coniucting a livery stable in Brookland. Mrs. Gibson was a relative of the late Squire Meetze and inherited a very large amount of money. A great ieal of this she converted into cash because of her distrust of the banks. Several attempts were made to rob \ tier house on upper Main street when j it became known that she had money j in her possession. However, none of I these susceeded.?The State. 28. * Jones Issues Instructions.

HBBBBHHBBBBHHi Promises Are Easy. There is a warm controversy nc going on in Calhoun county. It alleged that to induce the people vote for Calhoun county, and ma St. Matthews promised $20,000 for t building of a court house and jail, b it seems that after the votes we secured, and the county created wi St. Matthews as tne county seat, tj ante election promises, or rather tl glittering bait was withdrawn ar not forth coming; the voters har discovered , themselves buncoe and stnng, now they are weeping ar wailing; and gnashing their guns, 1 induleing in a newspaper war i crimination and recrimination.
