Mr. Felton, who is president and gener5* al manager of .the Piedmont Electrical Co., which erected the plant at Branch ville, spent last Friday in the city in con( saltation with Mayor 6. Moye Dickinson i As a result of his visit, Mayor Dickinson s has called a mass meeting of the citizens " of the town to assemble in the opea house this (Thursday) afternoon at five o'clock e to discuss the question. At this meeting I it is proposed to go thoroughly into the s matter and find out what the people want Mr. Felton will spend the day in town l and will be present at the meeting. Mayor Dickinson is taking much inter:> est in the matter of public improvements e and has been in correspondence with a ; number of parties. But* the Mayor and e council must know what our people trftnt hpfnr?> thev can act intellieentlv " Some people want lights and water and , some only the lights. Then some want t the town to own the light plant and some I want the contract given to private par' ties. So it was thought best to call this meeting and talk the matter over and decide on some definite pfcan of action J So turn out, tax payers, and let youi ' views be known. Don't wait till some ' plan is formulated and then go to kicke ing' Mr. Holly Resigns* At a congregational meeting of the Bape tist church last Sunday, Rev. J. B.

HIS ^SIRES Bd c. b. lewis > ??~ CopvriglU, 1906, by R. B. Mcdurt ; k There was hunger In the house of th< IT VU. J Wben night had come down there hac , eome with It from the crest of th< [ mountains, from the black mouths oi . the passes, from the depths of the dls mal canyons, a wind that cut like c knife and shriveled like fire, and not* and then a gust had brought bail t( : sting like bird shot The wolf had gone - back to his lair and given up the hun [ for the night There would be no game [ afoot for him in such weather. Wben morning came the weather hac , softened a bit and there were snow flakes flying about in wild confusion 1 The wolf sat up at the mouth of bh 1 lair and whined and complained. Ai ' he felt the pangs of hunger he bowlec I dismally. No beast of prey can flnc i his game blindfolded. Back in the cav< ( was a mother wolf, with her two young ; softly growling to herself as she hearc the howls of the father. ' By and by the wind ceased for a mo ment, as If smothered by the falling flakes, and then it came with nolsj complaint up the narrow valley anc around the rocky cliffs and big bowl ders. The wolf ceased bowling. Th< > wind brought him a taint?& scent H< 1 stood ouhls bind legs and pawed tb< air and sniffed and showed bis fangs A moment later 4he signaled for th< mother wolf to join him. She als< [ reared up and sniffed at the air. It surely was the scent of game. I' ' was feeble and came from afar, but 1 was worth Investigation. With a ball angry growl at each other, born of bun t ger and greed, the wolves boundec 1 away down the wind. The falling cur | tain of snow limited their vision t( yards, but a wolfs nose guides bin after he becomes blind of old age. "We will go out this morning" sale ' the leader of the park patrol to hii I men. "We will go north, east, soutl [ and west The buffaloes will be lyin* i up in the thickets in sbch a storm oi i this, and the wolves will be hungry t< find them." They went in pairs, the strong anc > hardy men who brave the seasons .U > protect life in the great park set asid< > for the nation away up where the wa ' ters of the muddy Missouri are as cok ' as the Arctic ocean and as clear tu glass. *. The buffaloes would have only on< enemy on sudi a day?the big timbei wolf. The bear would wait for bettei weather to search for his food. Tlx t men turned their backs on each other - leaned forward on their snowshoes am in thirty seconds were hidden frou . each other's sight They knew tfr t groves, the thickets, the spots whid j the buffalo would seek for shelter, am k they skirted or passed through sod ' places with the stealthy tread o ' ghosts. "Hark! It is the snarl of a wolf!" 5 The two men who had gone to th . north baited in their tracks with ham [ to ear and listened. As the wind bat brought the scent to the wolf at tlx door of his lair so it also brought tlx menacing snarls of a beast of prey U ' the expectant patzOUers. 1 "Wolves, for sure!" 1 "And after buffalo! Straight aheadT The wolves had followed the scent U : its source. A buffalo bull and three a . four cows, scattered some distance [ from the main herd, were sheltered ui . in a small grove on the bank of a creek i The bull had come to his prime in tlx 1 wild and rugged park. He was not i . stranger to the grunt of the bear an< the snarl of the wolf. They had men ' him mnnv tlmps and many tlmei he had defied them, though It had nev er come to open attack. Both wolf anc bear appeared to have an Intuition thai the buffalo was under man's protectioi ' and that It would not do to go too far. > With the scent coming stronger a ' every Jump, the wolves at length broki through the dead vines and stunted ce 1 dars to find themselves upon their prey . In front of the thicket was an opex I glade. They paused here for a mo L ment to plan the attack, and as the: planned they whined and snarled ant j growled. They did not want to havi ' anything to do with* the bull. The cowi were not flghtere^and their fieah wa< i more tender. If they became fright exxed at the growling they would maki . a bolt for It and separate. The bull bad caught sight of his ene mles as they broke cover. He neve had seen a timber wolf at such cio* L quarters. Something told him that the: . were hungry and desperate and tba they would attack. He gave a shhrei of apprehension and almost started t< ' flee. Then the blood of his sires cam* surging through him. They had fough > the wolves of the prairie, die wolves o: I the timber, the Hons of the foothlMs > Many had been pulled down after i . long, hard battle, but not one ha< ) ever turned tail and run away. Wltl a call to stand their ground and wltl head and tall up and eyes beginning t * - - * 1 - ? v a x ' born, be oasnea ouc 01 uiu twciv u ' begin the battle. He had balk; and h< ' moat have freedom of movement Tb< 3 wolves, surprised by his sudden attack - gave way, but they did not go far. "Now we shall see a fight worth talk lng of," said one of the patrollers a both took positions of vantage. "Tb< . wolves are big and hungry and con j nlng, but If the bull Is not the son o * bis father we will kill him for a cow ard. Now the battle begins!" 1 The wolves separated to make the at 7 tack. They were done with snarls an< t growls. They needed all their bread r for sterner work. While one dashed a t' the muzzle of the'boll the other sough to gain his rear han^ring him A long leap and a savage bite would do the trick. Hie bull bore no scars of farmer conflicts, but Instinct told him wbst to da His wtaellngs were so swift that every spring Of the wolf was disappointed, and twice within ten minutes a pair of cloven hoofs caught the shaggy beast in the ribs and rolled him over and over In the snow. Then the pair gathered in front to make an atI tack aa the throat It was only a feint intended to force the bull back into the - thicket, where bis movements would be hampered, He had scarcely given 1 ground when he saw through the game ? and blocked it , f "Did yoa see? Did yon seer gleefo% eEdeimed tbe elder patrolier as , be softly dapped bis mhteoed bands r together* "i was not mistaken in tbe j bail, He U tbe son of bis father." k "Stat tbe timber wolf Is cunning and [ tteeieeBr" rented tbe other, with doubt > in Ue tones. ^WeJH and you wtil see." j The woftres sought to attack on both flanks at once. Tbe ball needed agility ben and be pot it forth. There ' was a foot of snow on tbe open, but 1 that was in bis favor. For a quarter I of an hour tbe wolves pursued their plan and two or three times tbe teeth of one or tbe other inflicted scratches ' on the dean loina, but they were not sedoo% and they circled and leaped in vain. Then they lay panting in the snow, their red tongues seeming half tbe length of their bodies. It was another feint It was to lead tbe bull r to beHeve that be had gained tbe vlc1 tory and send him moving off. He ' wosfid not have taken ten steps before ' they would have been upon him. He - stood his ground and uttered a low - bdlow. It was a command to the cows to stand their ground also. - "Sat (he bail has not made an at> tack op to this time. Will he stand on the defensive and let them wear t hfpi ootT* t "Too wait Ton see bow his tall is Degtomng to twitcQ? see me new ore In hie eyes? Watch his neck stiffen! I tefl yea there's a thunderbolt In that boU. He had sires that were game." Of a sodden there was a bellow of anger and defiance, a rash on the part of the boh, and through the whirling, blowing snow the patroUers saw the body of one of the wolves tossed high in air. They moved nearer, bnt the rashes of the bail scattered the snow as a whirlwind would and only at intervals could they oatch sight of assayed and assailants moving about "Have they downed him?" was as&ed as the noises finally died away. "Let the now settle. There?do you see? That wolf lying there has a broken back; the other is limping away .on three legs. See the bull draw himself up and shake his head and lash his tall. Why, man, if there had been six at them instead of two he'd have fought and won. He baa the blood of his sires, and Mood will always tett." The Lmmt B&ciMi Dad The last duel?the last fatal one, at least?was fought in a field in Maiden lane in a sotttary part of Holloway in 1813. The district acquired considerable notoriety Cms the event It was the dud foogbt between Colonel Fawcett and Lieutenant Monro. The for> mer was kitted. The duelists were not only brother officers; they were also brottnw to-tew, having married two staters. The coroner's Jury on the inquest returned a verdict of willful murder not only against Lieutenant Monro, but against the seconds also. The latter, however, were acquitted. Monro evaded tha hands of Justice by seeking refuge abroad. Four years later be surrendered to take his trial at the Old & Baitey. He was found guilty and sen > teaced to death. He was, however, strongly recommended to mercy, and 3 the eoa&aaco was eventually commoted 1 to twelve months' bnprieonment 1 Hie neighborhood In which this duel was fooght Is no longer solitary.
