Ella wns placed in jail to await the outcome of the wounds. Cook and Jackson have since been discharged from the hospital and are expected to recover.

R. M. KENEDY, JR. LIBERTY HILL HAPPEN INGS Gathered by Our Corres pondent There. Mr. Editor ? It seems that "we" were not fully informed as to who did attend the U. D. C. dinner for veter ans at Heath Springs from this place, as we learn that Mesdames A. C. Cureton and C. C. Stroupe, and Misses Lizzie and Marion Richards (and perhaps others) were present and that Miss Marion R:clards sang and Judge J. P. Richards of Lancas ter made the address. The Heath Springs school house was used for the occasion and a very pleasant meet ing was held although the number of "old soldiers" present was quite small, as the inexorable march of time is fast depleting the thin "Gray Ranks" of Lee and Jackson.
