II Tom Allen Gets Properly
Dehorned
I
Last Friday evening about
eight oclock the report came
to us that Tom Allen had been
killed While the information
was given to us as reliable we
felt no hesitancy in offering
odds of 100 to 1 on Life plac
ing Death in the field at long
odds Notwithstanding the
strong tip that was out on
Death the wise looked upon
Life as a sure thing and
t
would not even place money
on Death to show Were
it true that the good
die young we would on
ly remember Tom as an infant
i for if there ever was a good
t for nothing nigger on
earth it is Tom Allen lie
Bro Geo O Barnes and John
Alexander Dowey right or
wrong about the end of all
things being near at hand we
are willing to wager a small
amount that Tom never dies
On the evening mentioned
Tom and Harry De Bond had
some difficulty in Duncans sa
loon and when Tom started
up Main street he was over
taken by Harry and Clarence
Miller who with beer bottles
as racquets and Toms head as a
ball gave a very fine exhibi
tion of pingpong While
Toms head and face were bad
ly cut and mashed it in no
way interfered with him in be
ing out on the streets Satur

country trade Harry De Bond

attempts to represent Ander

with whom he has business
engagements and the person
who wishes to purchase fifty
cents worth of coal or a dollars
lars worth of lumber or brick

same courtesies as are extend 1
ed to those whose purchases I

are always glad to learn of the
promotion of the worthy wo
cannot but feel the loss of such
a competent capable courte
ous and obliging manager as
Mr John A Harrison When
he took charge of the plant
here scarcely two years ago
there was in operation about
fifty phones and by his ener
gy push and courteous treat
ment of patrons he has run
the list of subscribers up to
nearly three hundred and has
orders ahead for phones to bo
put in as soon as wires can be
stretched Mr Harrison will
on or about the 20th inst take
charge of the Danville plant
and will be relieved from duty
at this place by a Mr Sey
mour of Lexington Mr Sey
mour is a total stranger to us
but comes highly recommend
ed by his company We wel
come him among us but give
him as a side tip the infor
mation that hell have to go
some to keep up the pace set
by Johnnie Harrison
