LOCAL ITEMS,
We record the death Of an old citizen and
public functionary, Mr.. Thos Chambers which
took place on Sunday last.

THAT WINDow.-Passng by the store of
II. g. NJ, cotton and produce merchants, few
mornings since, our eyes were drawn as by a
magnet to a most wonderful and fanciful display
at their front window. As public announce
ment Of the same was strangely overlooked by
these gentlemen, We deem it duty in behalf of
the public, who might otherwise remain in
ignorance, to call attention to such beautiful
and unique attraction Look at it wonder seekers
and sight lovers. The Senior, staid, sober,
married man, had no hand in this artistical
establishment, but the Junior. who is single and
full of imaginative powers, we bet high is the
genius who succeeded so happily in the beautiful
arrangement. The focus of attraction is on the
side next to the tin establishment.
KsLLED.-Jesse II. Lawson, long unfavorably
known to this and other communities, met with
sudden, but none the less just death, on Wednes-
day last, near ChappelI's Depot. His criminal
courses had long since made him notorious, but
as such COURSES eventually bring their merited
reward, he is another example to the many in
| the past, ftappcars that while under arrest ola
federal guard, and while at the depot at Chap
pelrs, the cars having just arrived, he sprang
from the platform and succeeded in getting to
the cover Of woods near by. His guard, private
Murray, Immediately gave pursuit, and on ap-
preaching near, Lawson begged him not to fire,
stating that ne would return peaceably but en-
bracing his opportunity, spraug forward and
grasped the musket of Murray. A desperate
struggle then ensued, each determined On the
others destruction, and yet though Murray was
the weakest of the two, he-fnely succeeded in
recovering possession Of the gun, and firing it at
the other at almost arms length. We are told
by the guard that never had he fought so hard
or been endued with such strength.
The ball entered the breast and caused death
Immediately. The body was brought to New.
berry. Lawson is said to be native of Georgia,
and by those who knew him there, that he bore
character of the worst kind.
