to Augusta last Thursday to
prosecute John Boykin on the
the charge of unlawfully carry
ing a pistol. P. R. Andrews re
presented the defendant and gave
as his defence first a denial of
carrying the pistol and if he did I
carry it as the prosecuting wit- j
ness testifies, then he carried it i
on his own premises and conse-1
quently, did not violate the law. j
The jury rendered their verdict j
in favor of the defendant.

“Last winter an infant child of
mine had croup in a violent form,
says Elder John W, Rogers, a
Christian Evangelist, of Fille.y,
Mo. “I gave her a few doses of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
and in a short time all danger
was past and the child recover
ed.” This remedy not only cures
croup, but when given as soon as
the first symtons appear, will
prevent the attack. It contains
no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as con
fidently to a baby as to an adult.

thanks and good-will of every
townsman of McCrory.
We look into a cradle and be
hold a male child. At the age of
ten he is a noisy kid, with half
the buttons off his pants and an
eye for meanness. At the age of
15 he’s a devil in a printshop; at
25 the publisher of a country
newspaper; at the head of every
enterprise calculated to improve
the town or enrich the business
thereof; at 35 he is an emaciated
and worn out man, with holes in
his pockets and a bald head. At
the age of 50 he is a corpse in a
cheap coffin, and his only re
sources left behind are two cases
of long primer type, a Washing
ton hand press and a subscrip
tion book with 500 delinquent j
subscribers, who line up and j
march past the coffin saying, j
“He was a public spirited fellow j
but he couldn’t save anything.”'

Yesterday (Friday) our friend
Col. John Shearer received a box
by express. His old time curi
osity at once overcame him and he
had to call on Mr. J. H. Beidle-j
man to open the box and what do !
you suppose? The box contained |
the finest lot of tomatoes we have j
seen in a number of years. On j
top of the tomatoes was a card j
stating “Presented to John!
Shearer, but there was no name j
attached and no clue within to in- j
dicatc the donor. Mr. Shearer j
had the whole News crew to i
throw light upon the subject but
without avail. The entire outfit
and the devil gave it up as a bad
job. Mr. Shearer is very much
puzzled. Some say the pack
age came on the east-bound train;
others think it arrived on the
west-bound. This latter view,
Mr. Shearer is inclined to be
lieve. Now, in order to relieve
Mr. Shearer of his anxiety and
and snspense, we would kindly
ask the sender of that package j
to inform the News or Mr. j
Shearer.
Last week a merry party com
posed of Dave Burkett, Emmett,
George and Bob Smith went to
Fair Oaks on a hunting expedi
tion especially for “deer.” Our
friend Elvis Kidd was to have
gone, but on account of his faith
ful ness to his duty at the livery
stable, he was compelled to de
cline. Before the party took its
departure, however, he ' told
them that if he were to go, he
would not take a gun, but he
would take a rope and lasso the
I scoundrels so that he would not
run the risk of dulling his knife
when he went to carve the deer.
The fact is he likes deer better
wdthout lead. This lassoing
of deer is all O. K. for a man of
Mr. Kidd’s ability and expe
rience as a cow-boy on the plains
of Texas, but for such men as
the others of the party, who of
course had not had the broncho
experience, had to resort to the
more violent instrument, the
gun. And if some of us McCro
ryites had heard Bob Smith and
Dave Burkett shooting at the
same deer, we would have
thought a good-size-gatlin-gun
had turned loose. The funny
part was, after these two “Dan
iel Boons” of the forest had slain
the deer, they examined the
cause by which the deer had
died. Only one bullet hole could
be found. Each of the two marks
man claimed to have been the
one xvho did the work. An inquest
was held over the lifeless form of
this unfortunate deer and a ver
dict rendered that the deer is
dead. The death of said deer
must have been caused by the
bullet hole in the head, but for
want of sufficient testimony, the
murderer could not be appre
hended. It is hinted around
that Dave Burkett and
Bob Smith between them are
responsible for the death of the
aforesaid and same. We will
await future developments.
George Smith, Dave Burkett,
and Bob Smith were bound over
for killing ono deer each, and
Dave and Bob have both another
one charged to them. Four were
slain in all. They report having
had an excellent time. If Mr.
Kidd had been there with his
lasso they would no doubt be
there yet taking lessons in the
art.
