Flour is lower than it has been in a long time, and corn is higher. It is said that Western farmers are feeding) their hogs on wheat and shipping their I corn to market. It is very probable that there will be no extension of time for the collection of taxes this year, and we would advise all to settle with the county treasurer before the time expires and avoid the penalty that would attach, in case the extension is not made.

Both were wounded, neither fatally, but Lottthe more seriously of the two* Mr Charley Brown, who was endeavoring to keep the peace between the two, received a glancing shot on the temple, which bled profusely. Lott was wounded in the body and in both cheeks. Owens was wounded in the face, a llesh wound. The difficulty was about trespassing stock.

Ilill, agent for the Southern railway at that place, b}* a masked man who entered the officii and demanded from the agent the contents of the safe. It appears thatMr. Hill had gone down to his ofliec at the station to do some : extra work and was sitting at his desk at about' 10:30, when he was suddenly confronted by a man of small build, masked and armed with two 44 Colt's revolvers, who ordered him to open the safe and deliver the contents. At first Mr. Hill mistook the man for the telegraph operator whom he thought was perpetrating a joke at his expense, and he therefore made light of the command. Mr. Hill was soon made aware of his mistake when his visitor threatened to shoot him without further ado if tin; eontents of the safe were not straightway forthcoming. Though realizing then the full gravity of the situation Mr. Hill refused absolutely to open the safe, whereupon his assailant shot twice at him, the shots taking effect in both of the agent's hands. Not content with this, the wouldbe robber proceeded to beat the agent over the head with both his revolvers and thereby succeeded in felling him to the floor, when lie fired two more shots, one ball entering his victim's left shoulder and lodging in his breast, the other barely grazing his side. mi... i v.?*i i ill* outrun turn uirtuuu^iik unu wi himself and proceeded to cover the ground for parts unknown.?Grcenvill News.
