A DAIRB VILLE.
It seems that we art* in a perk of
trouble. Last week we had to tell of the
suspected murder, and before your pa
per became dry our citizen* were excited
over an attempt to break in Esq. V. B.
Bibb's store hint Saturday night or rath
er Sunday morning, a* we are told it oc
curred about 1 a. m. Mr. Bibb carrier a
full stock of general merchandise, includ
ing a full line of clothing and a fine as
sortment of watches and jewelry. Some
think clothing the object of the attempt,
others that jewelry had caughtthe eye of
some negro. Be this as it may the at
tempt was made. One of the front doors
was beat and torn, the front window
shutters all show signs ofbeing tried and
the transome light over the back door
was fooled with. Mr. Layton Gwin
sleeps over Mr. E. B. Earl’s store, which
joins Esq. Bibb’s, and heard the noise.
In raising the window- he frightened the
thieves away. This attempt was follow
ed Monday night by a bolder and more
daring attempt, which happened in this
wise: Mr. J. T. Waldrip, acarpenter here
was at Capt. Earle’s at about
9:15 o’clock, where he bought two large
wood files. He lives in the northern part
of town. He went out the back door of
Earl’s store on to Main street when he
reached the Methodist chnrch. Someone
jumped at him, striking him with a knife.
It is thought the blow was received on
the left, breast, cutting through his coat
and into his papers. Had it not struck
the pocket it might have proven serious.
The cut is over the heart and the blow
was of sufficient force to knock Mr. Wal
■drip against a post and the post tripped
him up as he fell. He threw the files at
the man, who run, leaving Waldrip on
the sidewalk. As soon as he could gather
himself together he returned and got a
light, but nothing could be found to give
any clue as to who made the assault. It
is not known whether or not he was a
white man or negro. Some think that
the assault was intended for one of the
merchants that go by the church to go
home, as Mr. Waldrip has no enemies
here. They made a mistake and struck
the wrong man. Mr. Elrod passes the
same way, and some one followed him a
few feet only half an hour or so earlier.
It is enough to give all fair warning, to
be prepared for such trash. They de
serve no favors. There is no telling who
will be the next. Our community is in
fested with some bad people, there is no
doubt about it, and they should be
learned that it will not do for them to
attempt their meanness here. The first
thing anybody knows they will rob and
set fire to the whole business part of the
town. We deem this fair warning, and
the merchants should look well to their
stores and their persons.
Mr. M. C. Anderson has bought out
Mr. M. L. Moreland. Mr. Anderson is
oue of our best young men, and this is
liis first entrance into this line of busi
ness. We wish him success. He intends
keeping a full line of fresh goods.
We will not insert any personals this
week, but will say we have had many
visitors, and a goodly number have been
