, Dr. Allison tells it thus wise:
"Jim Sartain went out to shoot
a hawk Wednesday afternoon
with a hannnerless shotgun,
and rested the muzzle of the
gun 011 his toe while he sent
to the house for more shells.
He got to monkeying with the
triggers, when the gun went
bang, and now Jim has less
toes on that foot than he hod
the daj' before." The wound
was promptly dressed, and
tlie young man is getting
along as well as could be
wished.

ton, they assuming all notes,
accounts, liabilities, etc., and
collecting all indebtedness.

The merchants of Alto are
making a mistake in the abso-
lute curtailment of printers'
ink. Nothing kills a town so
quick as a manifest appear-
ance of dissolution. It is at
such times that new avenues
of trade and new markets are
explored by the consumers,
and when oncc they are turned
'away from a town their return
! is hard to accomplish and their
; feelings hard to reconcile.
Pay up your subscription,
j or else we will stop your paper.

This is my last week, as
Mr. Guiun will take charge of
my drug business Monday,
and I must have a settlement
from all who owe me, as I
wish to leave for Southwest
Texas as soon as possible. So,
