Both stontly pro* claimed their innocence. Messrs. J, Tl West and M. W. Gross defended Aim* and J. T. West and J, Glenn Stovall dtfl fended Eliison. In Alma's case the Mayor conld not | see his way clear to accept her claim of ! innocenoe in the face of positive testi- , mony of her guilt. So he reqnired her to deposit 825 or do 30 days street im- • provement. His Honor had doubts of Ellison’s | guilt but not enough to release him en-1 tirely. Tho Town case was dismissed, • and defendant bound over to the Supe rior Court. Our Marshals are wide awake in run ning down crime, aud especially in de tecting and bringing to punishment the blind tigers which have long afflicted our town. A PAHson's Nobi-E Act. “I want all the world to know,’’ writes Rev. C. J. Budlong, of Asha way, R. I. what a thoroughly good and reliable medi cine I foun in Electric Bitters. They eared me of jaundice and liver troubles that had caused me great suffering for many years. For a ‘genuine all-around cure they excel anything I ever saw ” Electric Bitters are the surprise of all for their wonderful work i in Liver, Kidney and Stomach troubles. Don’t fail to try them. Only 50c. Satis faction guaranteed by Harrison & Hadley. A Jtiig Campineetiua;- The colored people had a campmeeting at Mesena Sunday anil a large delegation went up from Thomson. From all ac counts it was a red hot gathering aud a record breaker iu revelry, defiance of the law and flagraut desecration of the day. It is reported that the blind tiger was not even modest enough to hide away to the woods, but was to be seen out in the open, and the evil spirits were dealt out in shameful bolduess and contempt of the law. Gambling, shooting and scraps of every 6hade seem to have been the or der of the day. It is said that the Mar shal of the town was forced to release a prisoner whom he lmd taken in charge, and was powerless to control the dis order. The better element of the colored peo ple must regret such disgraceful cou duct, and should see to it that the au thorities of Warren county shall have the names of the guilty parlies, that they may be justly punished, as a warning to oth ers who may be inclined to do likewise. They should be severely taught that a Sunday campmeeing is no place for blind tigers and shameful carousals. Missionary Mooting- To be held at the residence of Mr. P. B.
