At a social party at
the residence of Maj. John
P. Dillard near Mineral
Springs Christmas night
a young man named Robinson
came in drunk and
being requested to get out
of the room by young Sim
Dillard became enraged
and turned on young Dillard
and cut him severely
in seven places. He was
arrested but made his
escape and has not since
been seen. Young Dillard
is doing very well now and
will probably get well.

A large number of bills
affecting the postal service
of the United States
have been introduced.
Most of them affect the
postage rates. There are
at least a score of bills to
reduce the rate on first
class postage to one cent.

us this week a splendid
sample of paper shell pecans,
which he had grown
by grafting on hickory
trees. Mr. Leslie has more
than a hundred of these
trees which will soon be
bearing.

Mary Margaret Lombard,
aged 11 years, was
kidnaped just after school
had closed for the day
Wednesday and no trace
of her had been found
up to noon yesterday.
The little girl has made
her home for several
years with her aunt, Mrs.
Jesse Clegg, in this city,
although her mother is
living. It is believed by officers
and relatives of the
kidnaped girl that she was
taken by her mother, who
has quarreled with her
sister and hopes are held
high that the child is safe.
The little girl it is said is
heir to a nice fortune.
