Etta Jane, July 10.?Another
week has closed and the dry weather j j"
still continues. Wc had a light 1
shower last Saturday which revived,
vegetation somewhat. This a. m. is j
ool and fall-like.
Housewives arc hard pressed to j,
find something to cook, and this j ,
state of affairs has existed for a longj
time so far ns vegetables are couccrn- j
ed. Farmers are "laying by" their j
old corn and getting ready to give |
their cotton its last plowing.
Supervisor Lipscomb has ndver- ii
tiscd for bids to repair the Owen's p
ford bridge, which has for some time d
been dangerous. In fact it was
never anything but a "shoddy aflliir" l).
and the supervisor wishes to have it
made perfectly safe.
Mr. Joe Estes is ;he proudest man
we know of. Its a boy of course.
Mr. T. Jeff llughea was in this j
section yesterday. Ho is the same tI.
Jolly Jeff yet, and will be as long as bs
he lives. st
The casualties at the Hickory 111
Grove shooting on the Fourth are y
not as serious as were first reported.
The negro wounded l>y Policeman ro
l'ureley was not killed instantly but cc
has died since. Mr. Pursely will
fAftAver it. i* j ^

they get from their miserable corn- ^

It's no wonder that the sacredness h
of the nuptial vow is so little regarded ?
when a deceitful lover or the mischief "

remand it to slavery of the worst and (
most degrading character for both
time anil eternity merely by getting <
soipo official (whose proper place is
the chain gang) to repeat tho cere- !
mony that makes them man and wife. ,
Several of our people attended ,
children's day at Foster's Chapel I
yesterday.
Tho sad occurrence between Sheriff'
und Deputy Sheriff Joo Gallman is
much regretted by their many friends
who at this writing have not heard
the particulars. The sadness is increased
by the fact that they were
such fast friends. We looked upon
them more like brothers than anything
else. It wes a ca-o of Greek
meeting Greek. Both brave as lions
? and nothing but death would settle it.
Men of real courage and everybody
who knew them recognized tho fact.

Many years ago there lived in Union
vo young men who were fa*t friends,
no. was of fair complexion, the other
aik. 'J'he two friend* weie employed
v t tie stune concern. The black haired
oungtnau became involved iuaditllcuity
nth a negro, which resulted in the krliig
of the negro, and canstd a gicat
rid of excitement in Union at tlie time,
hie particulars of the affair wi re. about j
a b.llowt: 'I ho }oung man was in
ontpany with a young lady upon the
t.reets. as they passed a certain negro,
oted for bis impudence, he addiessed th?ouple
in a grossly insulting manner. j
rite younsr tnan being unarmed cou'd do ,
lotldngatthe time, hut warned the negro j
hat lie should answer to him later for J
he insult. The young man wont to
upper, got his pistol and he and his
riend started down the street; in East
Jnion. The pair had not gone far v\hen
hey met a policeman and the negro
icoundrt-1 who said to the policeman
'here he is now." There was a click of

The young uian who <lul the shooting
jl imbed over the fence and walked away.
This was the last time he was ever keen

more. Some of the readers will recognize
these two young men, but the number
will he few.

Washingv>n, July 10,
Nations, like individuals, jyust be
judged by their acts rather than by their
t^lk. Notwithstanding all the hilling
and cooing for the last year or so between
the American F.acle and the P.Ht -u.
Lion. the negotiations brtween this government
and thai, of Great, Uritsiin for
the settlement of the bTnndary line between
Alaska and Canada are now in
pract cally a deadlock, and the situation
is ofliciallv admitted, both in Wiishington
and London, to be sot ions. Kverv- I
body a. ImiLs that Cauadian greed is solely \
to blame for this unsatisfactory state of
affaii?. No rupture is expected to r suit
from this failure to agree, but the
unexpected is all the time happening, and
no one thing has b?-en so prolific. It is

which has never been classed as a health

that something valuable might

"nor that his visit, was entirely satisfactoiy.
Although cvoryliody now calls
