> > An Unfortunate Accident Wednesday morning Elbert and Ben Hargis got
> into a scuffle in which Elbert, the elder, got the advantage, throwing Ben
> down and choking him. Ben caught up the gun and ran, and Elbert took after
> him with a single- tree. Ben shot the gun, but not in the direction of
> Elbert, and a buck-shot struck Joe Spencer who was about 30 yards distant,
> washing his face, and broke his arm. The wound is doing well. Ben gave
> himself up to Judge Hobson, who heard the evidence and held him to answer in
> a bond of $250.
>
> > It is an old saying, "if you want revenge,give, your enemy a saw mill."
> That proverb passes out of use now . The saw mill has become a paying
> institution in this county. Oak abounds, and can now be sold at $16 per
> thousand at the railroad stations, quartered oak, $30. Our oak forests will
> be worth more than our poplar.
>
> > Tuesday , Sheriff Cope and Jerry Cardwell arrested a man named Webb, on
> Middle Fork, who is wanted in Jackson county to answer the charges of rape.
> They lodged him in jail and Wednesday started with him to Mckee, to deliver
> him up to the proper authorities.
>
> > A calf of rather unusual construction made its appearance on the farm of
> Geo. Prather last Monday. It has but one eye and no tail. The calf does not
> seem to have discovered that anything is lacking in his composition as he
> frolics and does dairy work just like the other calves.
>
> > Monday morning the earth was wrapped in a mantle of snow. During the day
> it snowed several hours very hard. Monday night at least four inches more
> fell, so that in the thirty-six hours at least twelve inches of snow must
> have fallen. This is very unusual for April. April 16,1874 and April 20,1854
> were noted for large snows.
>
> > The wife of Rev. J.M. Little, of Gillmore, Wolfe county, died at her home
> the 8th inst. She was a most estimable Christian woman, and leaves a very
> interesting family to mourn her loss.
>
> > The farmers are getting things their way at least. Wheat is now worth $1
> per bushel, a year ago it was worth 79c; corn 63c.,then 26c; oats 54c, then
> 36c; cotton 11c, then 9c. "All things come to them that wait."
>
> > E.E. Sample, wife and child,have removed here from Vanceburg, Ky. They
> have rented and are occupying the house of J. Wise Hagins, formerly used for
> a store. We understand Mr. Sample will open a drug store.We call attention
> to the advertisement of John Crawford & Co. to be found in this impression
> of the HUSTLER. They have a new stock of goods throughout, and are selling
> them at rock bottom prices for cash. Give them a call.
>
> > This office received a letter, the 9th, mailed at Hazard, 35 miles
> distant, the 31st of March. R.L. Patrick mailed a letter here to St. Louis
> the 6th inst., and received a reply to same the 8th. The difference is
> certainly perceptible.
