Mr H. B. McDaniel, of Hickory
Grove, moved last week. Several of
his neighbors sent teams to hel • him.
This shows that he is either a good
man and they wanted to help him. or
else they were anxious to get rid of
him. He had a very large hog in
the pen that he didn't think' he could
drive or haul well on a wagon, but
Will Smarr, who is always equal to
an emergency, proposed to take a sled
and put the hog on it in an impro
vised pen. Will hitched his two mules
to the sled but found it too heavy.
Henry changed with Will and put his
two mules to the sled, with the same
result. Finally they concluded that
as the sled was so heavy they would
pul all four mules to the wagon and
fasten the sled to the hind axle of the
wagon, and they made the trip all
right. Nobody but Will Smarr and
Henry McDaniel would have thought
of such an arrangement. It was
quite a show and reminded us some
what of a man we once heard of who
in going to mill met a man who told
him he would kill his horse by carry-
in 0 ’ such a turn on him. To remedy
the matter the fellow took the turn
on his shoulder, mounted the horse
and rode on to the mill, thinking he
was favoring his horse, by carrying
the turn on his shoulder.
It’s a mighty bad something there
is no good at aM in. for when a wo
man has the toothache she generally
has to keep her mouth shut.
l^ast Saturday Sam Strain found a
crippled duck lying by the wayside
a ion- ways from any house and he
thought he would act the part of the
good Samaritan. He put the duck in
his buggy and brought it home and
kept it until Monday morning, when
Rufus Brewington called for it. and
said he got it from Jeff Good, a dar-
kev. and that he lost it out. of his
buggy in some way. Sam turned the
duck over to Rufus without any
charge for his trouble with or care
for the duck.
Mr. Gist Howell and Mrs. Vines
Howell are both very sick. A doctor

Mr. W. C. Kirby i 8 not getting

Last week was a beautiful spell of
weather for farmers to gather their
crops. There is still some cotton in
the fields to pick.
By next week people will begin sow-
in- wheat. Mr. P. S. Webber was
sowing barley last week for pasture
purposes.
Mr. and Mrs. Boyce Whisonant
visited Mrs. Whlsonant’s parents. Mr.
and Mrs. R L. A. Smith, of Hickory
Grove. Saturday evening and return
ed Monday morning
Rev. J. B. Wilson preached at Mes
opotamia last Sabbath morning. This,
we presume, will be his last year on
this curcult and one of his parish-
t‘»r in many cases.
The old “Good s mill’’ near the
riioiitn of Bui ocks creek, in York
count v. was burned with several bales
of cotton last Friday night, just af
ter dark. Tills is'one of the old
kindniarks in that section. It was
owned by Mr. Brooks Good. We have
hear no particulars, but it is sup-
’■ose' 1 to be from the earless handling
of cigarett or other smoking out
fits.
In a few weeks our lawmakers will
meet In the State capitol. Whether
they will map out and take their work
with them or wait for it to turn up
after they get th-re we don’t know.
But as on every mangy, suck-egg dog
in the State there is a tax '-f fifty
cents, there oue u to be on every gun
a sufficient tax to make it too expen
sive for irresponsible owners to keep
them. La.-.t winter, just before
Christinas, one of our merchants told
us he had sold a doz n guns to col
ored boys from twelve to twenty
years old. and had orders for as many
more if he had them. The suck egg
i ia doesn't endanger life like guns
m the hands of those who know noth
ing about danger and care less, per
h;i"s.
We would be glad to see some kind
of a marriage license law passed that
vvi 1 stop so much marriage by oeople
inca able of contracting matrimony
and having such an unhappy lif" to
live afterwards This ought to have
been done years ago.
The hydra-headed liquor question
will be up. too. What will be done
with it remains to be seen Ev ry-
thin about it is, as yet, in doubt.
But dispensary or no dispensary (and
we prefer the latter all Hie time) the
man who buys liquor from a blind
ti”er or other person unauthoriz ed to
sell it, should be made “nartieeps
eriminis” with the seller in crime, and
subject to the same penalties. If
there w re no liquor buyers there
would be no liquor sellers.
There is a man in this section who
claims to be conjured. He vein to a
“conjure doctor.’’ who told him that
the partv who “tricked’’ him had put
nine tacks in a pieee of cloth and put
it under the door step and he had
passed oyer it. Bui if he would get
ihe rag and lacks and bring them
to him lie could remove his troub.es.
Where is the tool killer?
Mr. T. A. Goforth received a tele

j Hamp gave him $2.36 to boot. Mar
tin was advised that the mule was
[the property of Mrs. Robinson and

AS TO FREIGHT RATES.
Hearing to be Held Before Railroad
Commission.
Columbia, Nov. 11 —An important
conference regarding inter-state
freight rates will lie held before the
railroad commission on the 27th,
when the question of when the pres
ent tariff published by the commis
sion is binding on the roads will be
canvassed. There is practically no
difference between the rates charged
and those published. The principal
Point to be determined, it seems, is
as to whether it is incumbent upon
the commision to individually notify
the roads of the published rates. The
commission lias issued an order re
quiring tiie roads to strictly adhere
to the published rates beginning De
