Such gatherings as these are at

A CALHOUN ROW.
AND THE MARSHAL HAS DISAPPEARED FROM
THAT CITY.
A serious difficultv occurred on
the streets of Calhoun one day last
week, which may result in perma
nent injury if not more serious re
sults to one of the participants. City
Marshal Harkins was tabling with
Mr John King in reference to a set
of taxes due the town, and a
misunderstanding arose and some
harsh words were spoken, and the
Marshal struck Mr King on the left
side of the head with his club,knock
ing him down. Outsiders interfered
and stoped the fight.
Mr. King went before Squire
Hooper and swore out a warrant
charging assault with intent to
murder, The trial was set for the
same afternoon, and pending trial
a bond of SSO for his appearence
was required of Mr. Harkins which
was readi y given.
The trial was postponed until
next morning, but when the time
arrived it was learned that Mr.
King was unable to appear to
prosecute the case. There has
been some improvement in his
condition, but his right arm is
numb and his physicians fear par
alysiss.
If the blow was severe enough
to cause a blood clot to form on
the brain serious results will fol

Marshall Harkins disappeared Fri
day night and has not been seen
since. It was intended to increase
he bond after the condition of Mr
Kfng began to grow worse, but be

The opening chorus captivated
the audience and put the people in
a suitable frame of mind to enjoy
Ike Hume’s adventures with a
Mouse, and the happy boot black
yarn of Felton Mitchell, Each of
these young men brought down
the house and scores of flowers.
The wand drill, by the Sixth
and Seventh grade giris, was “clean
out ’o sight.” The pretty marches,
the perfectly executed figures and
prompt maneuvering charmed
every eye and won a unanimous
admiration.
Miss Lucy Wright, with “that
fiddle of hern” made new
last night, because there were peo
pie there who had never heard her
play before.
Miss Julia Hill’s recitation of
[ “The Converted Blacksmith,’
woke up all the “A-men's” who
*ere dozing in the rear of the
house; while Miss Maud Hoskin
son’s pathetic story of ’‘Our City
Boys’’was highly appreciated as
the succeeding number.
Miss Gussie Ross in her sweet

tive audience while Miss Annie
Hill made a world of fun out of
her recitation the “First vocal les
son.”

sote with Miss Alida Printup and
her violin, won a storm of applauoe
which ceased only when Mrs, Har

sang again.
Then came the debate. “Do wt
men receive fair play ’ and Masters
Glover MeChee and Robert Harper,

men dont”
Os the Board of Judges. Capt Steel
and Mayor John Moore decided that
the yomig ladies had won, while Mr
Max| Meyerhardt dis-mated in save | f
the young men.
Capt Steel in rendering the deci

erhardt for the stand he had taken,
saying“as an illustration of Mr.Mey
erhardt’s inconsistent position, w e
see him here tonight enjoying this
glorious occasion while his good wife
is at home” This sally brought down
the house and carried the audience
with Messrs Steel and Moore in
there decision.

What his Colleagues Think of
Floyd’s Endorsement,
STRONG MAN OF THE HOUSE
He is Recognized by Democrats and
Republicans. Has a Speech Ready

tax bill.
The following is clipped from
the Cconstitution’s Washington
special and will make most inter

Maddox’s many warm friends in
this secti >n:
MANY ENVY HIM.
Judge Maddox’s frieeds are con
gratulating him on the unanimity
of his endorsement by Floyd coun
ty.
in the primary there last Satur
day every vote cast in the county
was for him; that is, every man
who voted for hi in voted for eith
er Evans or Atkinsons vot d for
nim, and the compliment was de
er ved.
Judge Maddox h s won a repu
tation as one of the strongest men
of the house,
Judge Maddox has been yery anx
ious to speak on the state bank bill,
but though he has prepared a speech
he will hardly have on opportunity
o deliver it, having magnanimously
given his time toothers who are re
cent converts to the bill.
He says he would rather give his
time and be sure of votes enoug to
pass the bill than to get the littL
credit which comes from a speech
He will therefore not epeak unless he
•an get the floor without shutting
out ot levs who want co spe ik.
