IN assuming charge of the ADVOCATR
office after
A
propose
temporary suspension, we
to
send as usual to our numerous
subscribers. We are in no way responsi
ble for this suspension. Tne truth of it
is, that the Canton ring m-tde a little cor
ner on us and the very complexed stute of
affairs mule it necessary for the office to
take a little rest. However, we are again
survived and propose to use every earw3t
endeavor to make the paper worth what it
costs, and a welc m: visitor in every fam
ily. We don't expect to ike a very great
figure as journalis but what we lack in
ability we expect to make up in attention
to business and devotion to the interest of
Lincoln county where we intend lo make
our home for some time to come. We
shall serve all alike and see nothing but
the best interests of the county.above all
other thing* do nothiug that will dispar

A JUOOTINO AFFKAY.—John Knurr, was
shot by one Luft, and dangerously woun
ded on the 13th inst. There appears to have
been some difficulty existing between the
parties for some time past we will not
give any particulars in regard to that.
While Luft was going to Knarr's house, lie
was ordered off the premis es, but on refus
ing to go, Mr. Knarr started toward him
with his pitchfork which he was usini: at
the time both parties advanced to meet
each other, and when very close logetiwr,
Lufl discharged his siiol gua at ivi*rr
which took et!':ct in the side of his knee
the whole charge entering his leg, making
a »ery painful and dangerous wound
which will probably maim him for life.
He has good uvdical attendance. A war
rant was issued and placed iu the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Pt rcival, for the arrert of
Mr. Knarr who is claimed to be the assault
ing party but Mr. K. was so dangerously
wounded, he could not be moved for some
tune. Luft has not been arrested yet.

reason of its non-appearance we were
ready last week to issue, but Coronor

pend for a short time but we
are
still in
possession and for a full explanation, we
will refer you to our next issue, if we
should be so fortunate as to be ieft alone
that long. The whiskey ring has exerted
every effort to suppress this paper
and if some of the prominent "ring"
members don't corrupt their honor in this
effort to suppress the
ADV'CATE,
then we
are badly mistaken. For deliberate ma
licious prosecution the ring takes the lead.
The truth is they snow that with any oppo

THERE is a great mania here for news

when he enlisted and remained in the army for four
years. Eighteen months of hts service were spent in
Libby Prisou. The sufferings of this year and a
hilf ware terrible, and so completely ruined his con
