PHILIP PHILLIPs.-Our friends in the
neighborhood of Martinsville, we pre-
sume do not need to be reminded of Mr..
Phillips sacred concert in the M. f.
Church, Martinsville, on Sabbath night.
When Mr.. Phillips sang "Your Mission" I"
at the Christian Commission anniversary
in Washington, few years ago, MIR.
Lincoln was moved to tears, and sent up
a request to the chairman (Secretary
Seward) to have it repeated just before
the close. Mr.. IS melodious voice and the
tenderness and pathos with which he
renders his pieces, are irresistible.
The proceeds of this concert go to the
NJ. Z. Sabbath School of Martinsville.

OUR STREETs-HAvE WE TOWN
COUNCIL AMONG Us?-The streets OF our
town are in a shocking condition. Since
the snow went off and exposed the piles
of ashes and other rubbish accumulated
during the Winter, it is almost impossi-
BILE to get around, except on stills. The
mud. too, is unprecedented, although the
bright sun and the wind is rapidly drying
1t up. ..
Would it not be well for the Council TO
have the streets thoroughly cleaned at
least twice year, or oftener, if necessary?
The expense would be light, and certain.
ly the comfort derived from it would
compensate for the outlay.
Another thing: The pavements need
attention, especially on one or twosquares.
These things demand attention.

LOCAL PApERs.-We find the follow
ing in relation to local papers In an ex-
change, and adopt it entire: Local pa
pers always render full equivalent for
their cost, and are deserving the support
of the citizens of the county. There are
In every vicinity many things Of local
interest which the county paper makes
known. and which could reach the epublic
in no other way. Thereports of the pro-
ceedings of the courts, of public meet
inps. of local societies, etc., are all of
general interest, and are worth more
thar, the paper costs. 1t is taken as an
index by strangers of the prosperity OF
the section where published. One wish
ing to go to new place naturally looks to
the local paper to give him information
concerning the resources and develope-
ment of the vicinity, and its appearance
and contents exercise no small influence
in deciding as to the desirability of the
location. The influence of well-con-
Quoted paper in attracting attention ana
Immigration to town or county, ana,
consequently, increasing the value OF
property, Is very great, and sufficent
reason why it should receive support
from all intelligent citizens. These papers
should be supported, not in opposition to
orto the exclusion of other papers-of
those, for instance, designed to meet the
special wants of certain classes. Such
papers should not conflict with each
other. Their objects and means of use
fulness are different. Each furnish in
formation that the other cannot give. J"

MYSTERIOUS MURDER. =
A MAN sEE0T ON THE HIGH
WAY.
The Supposed Murderer Ar.
rested.

DR.. A. Settle, who resides near Ssrdis,
Miss, was murdered on the public road
last Saturday. The Ledger states that
late in the afternoon DR.. a. NJ. Settle,
well known in this city, and an old man
named Anthony Foster, left Sardis, on
their way home, each residing & few
miles from the town. They were
mounted, Settle on q mule and Foster on
q horse, and were met by several parties
when half a mile out. A little before
dark some boys walking to Sardis saw
the body of a man lying in the road I;
beside it stood a mule. An;exsmination
revealed the body to be that of DR.. Settle.
The appearance Of the body IS it lay ia
the road, and the proximity Of the ami
NAL, induced the boys to believe that the
doctor had been thrown by the animal
and stunned by the fall. In the excite
ment they failed to discover any blood.
Turning the body over they found that
the heart had ceased to beat. A short
time sfterwsrd q conveyance was pro-
cured andc the body taken to Sardis.
Here it was examined by 3 physician,
who at first adopted the opinion of the
boys that the doctor had fallen from
the mule and broken his neck; but
finally discovering that the hair at the
back of the head was saturated with
blood, he made a more critical investigs-
ton. A bullet hole, evidently produced
by the ball Of a GeriDEer pistol, was
found, and the horrible truth flashed
upon the minds Of the spectators that
their old friend had been murdered. The
ball entered the back of the head and
ranged downward toward the stomach,
doubtless instantly producing death. A
civil officer and posse arrested Foster
that night, finding him, we believe,
at home. We hope the exsmina-
ton viii result in the establish
ment OF bis innocence Of the ter
rible crime which ciTcumstantisl evil
dence has traced to his door. He is an
Old, esteemed citizen Of the county. He
and DR.. Settle had been intimate friends
and neighbors for many years, and it
wss known they had been much together
that day. Unless s quarrel originated
near the fatal spot, and the shooting was
done in g moment Of excitement, there
could have been no possible motive for
the crime. After Fosters arrest, the
officers OF the freedmen's bureau claimed
the prisoner and wrested him from the
civil authorities. He Yves sent to Gre
NADIA, and afterwards returned to Sardis
where the case is nov undergoing exam
inRtion.
