The doctors report considerable sickness now.

Tucker Adcock, William Pannell, John McCartney and Miles Patten, all of Powell, will start for Texas next week.

Nothing important has yet been learned concerning the Blankinship case. It is believed his fate depends upon the recommendation of the prosecuting attorney.

J. C. Higgs and Joe Adams went to Little Rock a few days ago. Mr. Adams and J. C. Higgs are attending the medical college, and Joe Higgs is teaching in the blind school. They write that they are well pleased.

J. B. Wilson has moved his family to Rally Hill. We are sorry to lose any of our good citizens but we always wish them well. William Rowden has moved into Mr. Wilson's property.

On Tuesday evening of last week, we found we had lost a $20 bill. We felt all broke up, as "$20 is a good round sum" for a newspaper man to have in his possession. Next morning we offered $5 reward to anyone who would find it. It was found and returned to us by Dr. Coker who would accept nothing but our many thanks.

When Mike Wolf first came back, he acknowledged that he was $400 behind with the county, and that he would settle at the Oct. term of court. The last grand jury, hoping the settlement could be made, did not indict him. This week he coolly informed Judge Owens that his bond could look after the deficit, and that he would look after the criminal part of it. Marion county has just sentenced one man to death for violating the law, and Mr. Wolf will find out that she is yet able to manage her defaulting treasurers.
