Mr. W. F. Bentley, who opposed
Col. L. L. Middlebrook last year in
the race for the legislature, was in¬
dicted before the grand jury Monday
charged with selling whiskey illegal¬

that they got busy from the start and
returned several true bills.
Mr. Bentley was brought in Tues¬
day morning and placed under a bond
of $1000 for his appearance at court
to stand trial.
Mr. Bentley will be remembered as
having made the race last year as an
independent candidate and was de¬
feated by r a large majority. He lias a
number of friends who were very
much surprised at the true bill found
against him.

VALUABLE PROPERTY
CHANGES HANDS
Mr. Thomas G. Callaway Pur¬
chased One Of The Prettiest
Lots In The City.
Mr. T. G. Callaway purchased from
Capt. J. M. Pace the lot next to the
college on College Street, and we un¬
derstand will erect a handsome resi¬
dence on it at once.
The lot purchased by Mr. Callaway
is considered the prettiest vacant lot
in the city and for a number of years
people who have passed it looked with
a longing expression at its advantag¬
es. That he thought it was a desira¬
ble one is evidenced by the price paid
for it, which we are told was $15 per
front foot.
The lot is the one between Capt.
Pace’s residence and the college and
will make one of the most conven¬
ient and comfortable homes in the
city. sold
When land in this city is at
that price it makes the knockers stop
and think a minute about the town
being a dead one, as is contended by
some of them.
Notice.
Venable Bros, have re-opened their
store and all parties indebted to them
are requested to come in and settle at
once.
Wanted Them Labeled.
There was a certain master of fox¬
hounds in oue of the English shires
who was greatly angered by the awk¬
wardness of one of the gentlemen who
invariably rode over the hounds. At
one of the meets the M. F. H. rode up
to the awkward hunter and in the most
chilling tones said, “Mr. So-and-so.
there are two dogs in the pack today,
Snap and Tatters, which I am espe¬
cially fond of. and I would esteem it
favor if you would avoid killing
a witb your horse e
or maiming them

It is understood that the plans con¬

greatest forward years ever under¬
taken in the state. The union is now
in the best condition, but the coming
twelve months will see even greater
achievements.
It is highly probable that a number
