Consult ruble excitement was created
in our city Saturday afternoon by a
light between Messrs. E.' W. Rhoden
and T. L. Story. Tho light started
about some very frivolous affair which
Mr. Rhoden had against Mr. Slory.
Ml. Rhoden received a very ugly gash
in the face from a knife at the hands
of Mr. Story. Mr. Story was cut back
of tho ear and made a very narrow es
cape from having tho jugular vein
severbd. We arc certainly very sorry
that this happened Lo these gentlemen
as both of them are good citizens and
have heretofore been the best of
friends. Their injuries though very
painful will not prove fatal.

The Streets of Thomson.
We would suggest, if wo were allow
ed to do so, that (he streets of our eily
be looked after. The sidewalks are in
a dreadful condition and il is very diffi
cult for one to walk on them in wet
weather. The sidewalks are too low,
the water does not run off of them. It
is there to stay, until it is dried up.
Besides looking bad it is very un
healthy for our streets nnd sidewalks
to be in this condition. Just such mud-
holes ns wc have in our streets bring ,
on fevers that cost so many people
their lives, when a little care, and
money would have prevented it. So
let our town officials look after the
streets nnd then when a stranger enters
the gales of our city we will not be
ashamed of what we have not done.
