Was, Doubtless, True,
Because the Courier said that the
night riders who killed the Walker
negroes in this county near the
Tennessee line came from the direc
tion of Lake county, Tennessee, the
Troy News-Banner uses a column of
space telling us about having no
night riders in that section of the
state, and that we failed to do our
duty in condemning the lawless ele
ment. If the Banner will turn its
glasses toward Walnut Log, Tennes
see, it will fina material nearer home
to work on thit we did not miss-call
our hands in saying that they were
possibly a Tennessee product. So
far as "law and order" are concern
ed, we had rather be a live rascal
any time than a dead hero.

Situation Getting Serious.
The drought is becoming a serious
matter in this section. True, crops
have passed the stage of neeijng
rain except the sowing of wheat
but scarcity of drinking and stock
water is increasing at an alarming
rate. People living more than five
miles from town are hauling water
from Hickman. Wells, cisterns and
ponds are dry, Stock is being driven
miles to creeks for water, and even
the small streams are getting ex
tremely low, and will soon be dry.
Roads are so dry and dusty that
moving crops is greatly menaced.
The Mississippi river is falling at
a rapid rate ; it is so low that it would
hardly be recognized as the "Father
of Waters."

Hoodooed.
A country editor complain, be
cause a hoodoo with yellow eyes, a
polka-dot breast and a grapevine tall
Is after him. The hoodoo slipped an
Imaginary brick Into the cog wheels
of the press and broke the bed ac
tion, the hoodoo wagged Its tall
around the foreman's tripping feet
and be pled a newspaper form, the
hoodoo blew Its terrible breath Into
the concentric of the gasoline engine
and gave It the whooping cough. The
hoodoo even went further melted ttit
rollers, poisoned the pet typo lice,
Housed the office cat' In the office lye
kettle, tore four sheets out ot the sub

Into six pieces and put a typographical
error In the nam of the psld ln ad

' The editor fumigated with formalde
hyde, rubbed his rabbit's foot fellah
on the tip ot his nose, recrossed his
suspenders and read a chapter In the
family Ulble. Instead ot "fading" the
hoodoo, It exhilarated It. Next the
old I'routy fell In a heap, the wopper
jaw collapsed Into the tumbling pot,
the glmcumcrack Jumped the track ot

called ta remark that the price of old
Iron had fallen materially during the

Then the editor went out and signed

Young Man Drowned.
Albert Howland, a young man em
ployed on A. A. Faris derrick boat
at this place, fell frcm a barge into
the river Tuesday, about 10 o'clock
and was drowned.
The derrick was swinging a barge
around alongside of the wrecked coal
barge, opposite town, getting ready
to load coal, when Howland, who
was standing on the edge of the
barge, slipped and fell into the wat
er. The men in charge of the der
rick put out a skiff and started to
the man's assistance, but did not
reach him in time. He rose once
and sank again before they could
reach him.
Howland had told some of them
that he could not swim, and was in
constant dread of drowning. For
this reason, the boatmen rushed to
his assistance when he fell, but too
late.
He was about 28 years old ; mar
fled, but he and his wife had separ
ated. His home is at Marion, Ky.
He had been employed on the der
rick about three weeks, and was
hired by Faris at Point Pleasant.
For the past two weeks he had been
in Hickman, as the boat was engag
ed in taking coal from the sunken
fleet, which was mentioned in last
week's paper.
We understand he is survived by
a mother, who lives at Marion, Ky,
The body was taken to the City
Cemetery yesterday and buried, un
attended by a single relative or
friend.
