was false, as several gentlemen were

There are six wagon loads of wood

the city, on the Farmington road.-
Caurier.
A gentleman just over from Sher-
man remarked that business was
terribly dull at the Cross Roads
This accounts for it.
The compress is now in prime
working order, and over four hund-
red bales of cotton were compressed
on Friday. The receipts of the same
day amounted to five hundred and
forty bales, of which ten car loads
were received via. II. & T. C. More
than a thousand bales are now st >r-
ed on the platform at the compress.
A Cotton Thief.
getlier over $20,000, advanced to me
by L. G. Cairns for the purpose of
buying cattle during too summerof
1876. Hie firm name of L. Born
stem & Co. was used m all the
transactions, and signed by Max.
Siesldck These transactions run
over u space of six months, and all
the checks and drafts went regularly
through the banks, always signed L.
But nstein & Co., but signed by Max
Siesleld. Whether Mr. Slater or
Mr. Petty would have paid any pa-
per of any kind endorsed in that
manner, without an understanding
to that effect with the firm, is a
question that needs no arguing.
At the end ot the season Mr.
Cairns’account showed a balance
against L. Bornstein & Co. of over
$800. He called mi them for a set-
tlement, and they put him oil until
they should be reimbursed by Max.
.Siesfeld. Max. promised to pay,
but did not, neither would Bornstein
Si Co. pay for him, claiming that he
had overstepped his authority in en-
dorsing these papers. Whether lie
has done so or not remains to be
proven.
In the meantime L Cairns sued
L. Bornstein Si Co. tor the amount
claimed by him, and the suit should
have been tried at this term of the
district court. On the day set for
the trial Mr, Smith, attorney for L.
Cairns, met Mr. Bornstein by ap-
pointment, and they came to an un-
derstanding by settling for a sum
about $450 less than the original
claim. This settlement was not ef-
fected on the ground that Max. Sies-
teld had no right to sign the firm
name of L. Bornstein & Co., but on
the ground tiiat the actual freight
bills on all the cattle shipped were
$10 per head less than the amount
charged 011 the account sales.
It is very easy to prefer charges
against anybody, but sometimes very
hard to sustain them. Max. Sics-
f id could not help being arrested,
but he feels so confident ol discharge
that lie would not even put the mag-
istrate to the trouble ot trying the
jase, and prefers to let it go to the
grand jury for investigation.

A committee of three, consisting

intend the construction of the bridge
with authority to commence work
at once.
The subscription paper was then
drawn up, and when the meeting
adjourned about one-third ot the

scribed.

The is another beautiful piano cov-
er on exhibition at the Star Store,
and which is attracting general nd-
miration. It was made by Mrs. W.
D. Kirk, of this city, and reveals re-
markable artistic skill and a wonder-
ful amount of patience in its produc-
tion. Zephyr work is an art in which
Miss Kirk excels, and the traces of
the artist may be seen in every leat
and flower.
A man named Mull repaired to
Judge l’orter’s plantation about >wo
o’clock Friday morning, loaded a
bale of the Judge’s cotton onto his
wagon, and drove to Denison. The
judge discovered his loss just after
daylight, and jumping on his horse
started in hot pursuit. He arrived
here just as Mull was in tne act of
disposing of his cotton, and had him
arrested. Mull now languishes in
the cooler.

At the meeting of the City Coun-
cil Friday night, Councilman
Hughes gave notice that at the next
regular meeting of the Council, he
should offer a resolution asking for
the appointment of a committee ot
citizens to take under adviseirant a
reduction of the interest on the bond-
ed indebtedness of the city, and to
correspond with the present holders
of the bonds ot the city, to learn the
most favorable terms that can be
made with them ; also, to suggest a
plan for the payment of the accrued
interest by January 1 st, now amoun-
ting to thirteen thousand doji art.
Mr. Hughes is confident an arrange-
ment can be made with the holders
of the bonds to take up the old bonds
which draw ten per cent, interest in
gold, and reissue in lieu oi them,
others bearing six per cent, interest
in currency, providing the interest
now due is paid at once, anil prompt
payment of accruing interest is guar
an teed.
We like this proposition of Coun-
cilman Hughes, and believe it is the
most feasible method ot going to
work.

The bile has a three-f ,fld part assigned
to it by the great manager. Nature. 1 as-
sists in the digestive proo-s-., act' as a
coloring agent of t'.ieblood, and is essen-
tial to theevacua'.ive function. SVhen the
liver grows torpid, pomplcte chaos ensues
in the stomac and bowels; the bile is in-
jected into t nc. circulation in large quan-
tities, and constipation and indigestion
are pro-juced. Pains under the right
shoulder btade and through the right aide,
headaches, vertigo, vellowness of the skin,
tui red tongue and nausea, also follow.
' .ut these and other symptoms ol bilious-
ness, and tiie disorders which accompany
it, are entirely removed by Hostetler's
Stomach Bitters, that benign rectifier ot
organic disturbance and remedy for phy-
sical weakness. Intermittent and remit-
tent fever, urinary and uterine troubles,
rheumatism, gout and other maladies, al-
so yield to the remedial influence of the
great corrective and invigorant. It is the
people’s chosen remedy.
