Read the High School Notice Several locas are crowded out this week. Col. A. E. Weathersby is attending justice court in Mt. Carmel Don't forget about our high school meeting on the 31st.
Dr. G. A. Teunisson returned home from the National Alliance this week. The Doctor bought with him a sample of the pine straw bagging, which we believe to be the strongest material that we have yet seen in that line.
Two negros, who live near Blountville, were brought over to town and lodged in jail last Friday evening, charged with murder. It seems that last April that a peddler, name and residence unknown,
passed through this county, and after crossing the river at this place going eastward, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Not attention was paid to the matter at the time,however, as the man was
looking pale and sickly and the general impression was that he had died a natural death. Subsequent developments, however, proved this to be untrue. One of the negros, (there were three
implicated in it) Bill Barnes, confessed to cobbing the man and pushing him in a canal,at the same time implicating these other two Negroes. He then skipped. The remaining two Negroes were at
once arrested and had a preliminary trial, but nothing definite was learned. They claim to be innocent of the charge of murder, but acknowledge robbing him, and then giving the money back.
SALT! SALT! SALT! Cheap salt Having made special arrangements with the salt mines we will offer our friends and patrons, for the next thirty days, best quality fine salt at only $1.00 per sack. You can't
