A FFMALB battle mit flete occurred
In the Jones and I'ipher neighbor
liood south of Knoxville one day last
WOek. Four ladies met on the high
way and exchanged incivilities in
vigourous Mtyle. The cause of the un
pleasantness our reporter was unable
to learn, as he lacked the requisite
courage to approach so near the scene
of conflict as to interview the parties.
Htfcnding upon an eminence at a safe
distance, he watched with eager inter
est the events of the conflict. There
was no bloodshed. The parties each
carried home a lock of hair from the
beads of the other combatants to be
woven in a wreath and preserved as a
token of tho victory achieved. Of
coursu each will claim tho victory and
the championship, and another meet
log will be required to settle that mat
ter. Our reporter will endeavor to be
en hand to report the return game iu
fell.
LADIES, a cordial invitation IN ex
tended to you to attend the County
Fair, and compete for the many pre
miums offered on articles In your de
partments.

SHARP PKACTK K.—A rumor cornea
to ua from Franklin township that
some sharper played a wily but suc

in that vicinity a few days since. We
get it th us: A stranger stopped at the
house of John Duncan, an old gentle
man living on a farm in the western
part of the township, and said he
wanted to buy the farm. After an
examination of the premises a con
tract was agreed upon but the pur
chaser claimed that his money waa at
Indianola, and Mr. Duncan must ac
company him to that place to prepare
the papers and get his pay. This was
agreed upon and the sharper also suc
ceeded in buying a span of mules from
Mr. Duncan, paying $100 down, and
promising the remainder of the price
at Indianola. The two started. On
the way, the man bought a buggy,
paid down, promising to send the
remainder back by Mr. Duncan. At
Indlanoln, they stopped at a hotel for
the night, and were to complete their
business iu the morning. They re
tired. In the morning Mr. Bharper
rose very early and ordered his team,
saying that he was going a few miles
Into the country, and would be back
within a few hours. He left instruc
tions that the old gentleman should
not be called until breakfast time.
Mulea, buggy and man bad not return

REV. MEKSIION, Couuty Superin
tendent is so exceedingly impartial as
a public officer, that lie publishes his
notiees to teachers and directors at the
expense of the county, in the I)emo
vrat, Made and Miner only, thinking
thus to spite the JOURNAL, and make
it repent having shown up his ignor
ance and utter unfitness for his official
position. As mediums for giving in
formation to the people, the old gen
tleman has the right to use just such
papers as he chooses, and we are not
disposed to complalu. He also has a
perfect right, perhaps, to go to sleep
In his buggy when traveling on pub
lic business at $3 'per day, and let his
horses stop in the lanes and eat dog
fennel in the fince corners while be
snoozes and nods, and bebs for flies,
and drops the lines and whip, and
dreams away his precious $3 time, im
agining he Is making a 2:40 record and
doing great service for the people and
the Grange Ahti-Monop. party, Per
haps he thinks that as the story has
not appeared in the JOURNAL, nobody
saw him thus illustrating Grange
ofTlcial economy in the highway near
Wheeling, a few weeks since. Per
haps we shouldn't have told the story.
Maybe we shouldn't tell how he hired
other men at public expense to con
duct the late Teachers' Institute ^blle
he had the name of it, and did no
thing but ring the bell and curry water.
Verily Marion county has a Superin
tendent of Schools of whom no coun
try district could be proud. He ought
to go to Arkansaw.
