Lazt Tuesday night the family of Jdsh Smith, who lives on Sand mountain about s< von miles west of Trenton, were seated on the ver randa in front of the house when a rifle shot sounded only a tew yards away and the bullet sped only a few inches over the head of a son of Smith’s and a hired hand. A sec ond shot was tired immediately following the first i|and before the parties could escape into the house. After procuring guns the men present took a search for the party | or parties who fired the shots which a poor aim and the darkness pre vented from proving fatal to some of the family. About 12 o’clock the family re tired without hearing anything more of the would-be as sassions until Mrs. Smith stepped out, into the yard about the break of day, when a shot was fired at her at a distance of about thirty yards, cutting out a whisp ot her hair and grazing her head suf ficiently 40 stun her for some time. After bringing Mrs, Smith into the house a further search for the party who fired the shot resulted as did the first.

E. church South opened here Satur day. . Presiding Elder, Dr, Carroll occupied the pulpit in the morning, and W. P.

The meeting is attracting a great deal of attention, large audiences attending every meeting. Now for a little personal matter as concerns Ikie, which I hope you will have the generosity t< publish. It is said that several ot ih-.-vio of Ikie’s pleasantries (theediioroi the Dade included) have banded to-gether to do Ikie up in this week’s Dade. Well, that’s all right. If the union of so much avoirdupois matter, (tbe editor be ing a sample copy) will but add to the mental strength, or will im part the least fraction of i.cmnere tr the assiniue animal thus formed, “’twil be a consumation devoutly to be wished.” There is only one objection to the scheme Ben, and that is, every i one will be asking you—you hav tbc ears and the bray, thus being the head of ihe animal the gentle man that was so badly guyed at j the pic-r.ic will answer for its cau dal aupendage,—whether the tail wags the other part of the bouy, or vice versa. Oh, Yes ! Ben you may do me np if jou will. But i he, ears amt bray shall be yours still. Ikie. Oh my ! That Ikie should in his distorted immagination conjure up' the idea that the editor of this pa per contemplated “doing him up” is to us a startling revelation, Were we unacquainted with Ikie’s gen eral make up, together with his mental ailments, we would in mercy to him br tempted to believe that Ikie had clasped on his spurs for a display of his imaginary lit erary ability. However his career as a hutnerous newspaper corre spondent mig..t have been the brighter, had he tackled a smaller fish before putting out his pin feathers. We would present to ou>- readers a character as unique as any portrayed by Charles Dickens —orio of nature’s phenommas. Thus we are brought in contact with a writer of sentimental(?) poetry who spoils an ('-car Wildean moustache in a youthful manner altdg ether unnatural; one of those mishaps of nature calculated to disgust a young lady with his sen timentalism even while feeding heron cantaloupes. Now, since Ikie has sufficient perceptive jpow ers to enable him to find the head and tail end of the assanine monstrosity before he had discov ered the animal itself, it would be well for him to take heed lest the animal bray and blow him away with the heavier chaff, or with a gentle wag of his tail knock all nis fanciful jokes into a cocked hat. Call ns an assanine animal if you will. But the sentimental pod will drop lower still Moral. —When using the posi tive degree never target the super-, lain .
