Exit Of williams and a Prospect of
Fair Dealing.

Mr.. John P. Boughner received his
commission this morning as Commits
sioner Of Registration for Shelby county,
and will enter upon the duties of the
Office as soon as he can procure the neces-
sary blanks and papers. We understand
that Williams, the late Registrar, dies
hard. He has suddenly conceived o
warm admiration for the decision of the
Supreme Court. But it is no go; Mr..
Boughner has his commission in his
pocket. dated June 10Th, and duly signed
by Governor Senter, and sealed. We
read the document carefully this morn
ing.
Mr.. Boughner has been identified with
the Republican party, if we mistake not;
at least he held a position under Role
Saunders in the Internal Revenue Col
lectors office, for three years. But he
says that he will 90 by the law and regis
Ter every man who is entitled by its pro-
visions to certificate, and from what we
know of Mr.. Boughner we believe he will
do what he has undertaken. This is all
the people can ask, and will satisfy hun
dreds and thousands who have heretofore
taken no interest in politics. The new
Registrar will take his time and go leisure
ly through the county, stopping in each
district at stated times long enough 10
register everybody who is entitled to
vote. This inaugurates at once a new
order of things. A man who ever re-
ceived certificate of registration and
incidental loyalty from Garland P. Ware
or any subsequent officer, and has los
it, has only to make affidavit or Other
proof of the fact to secure new papers
The importance Of the occasion and the
opportunities it presents cannot be over
estimated. Let every man be ready now
to do his part, and at the August election
we will make clean Democratic sweep

TIE LATE CoMMEScEMENT EXERCISES
The most pleasing and entertaining fea-
ture of the late commencement exercises
at the State Female College was the vocal
and instru mental music furnished by the
pupils. To Miss Carrie Patterson, their
accomplished music teacher. is due in
a great measure the proficiency of the
young ladies in this branch of their
studies. Miss Patterson. in addition to
her efficiency as q teacher, possesses in
an eminent degree those qualities of heart
and mind which always insure for her
the love of her pupils and the respect and
admiration of all who make her acquaint-
ance. The session having closed, Miss
Patterson is about to leave our city for

Personal Accidents ON the Memphis
and Charleston RaiIroad-A Wolf
River Comedy.

Last Saturday negro woman jumped
from freight train coming west, at Ger
mantown, on the Memphis and Charles.
ton railroad, and was seriously injured.
1t is not thought she will live. She left
here on passenger train, but was asleep
as the train passed Germantown. So she
took the freight train at Collierville to re-
turn. She claims that she paid her way
back, but this is not known or confirmed.
On the same day young man Of seven
teen, named William O'Neil, fell from a
freight train below Germantown and
nearly ruined his knee-cap. He has suf-
fered intensely ever since.
Saturday night the negroes had a
dance and a very festive frolic at Brae's
station, above Forest Hill. In the crowd
was negro woman who had Joined the
church and been baptized only the pre-
vious Sunday. 1t was considered a
special privilege to dance with her some
how, and two of the biggest, blacklist
bucks had quarrel for her hand in
set. To settle it they drew pistols, and
did some indiscriminate badly aimed
shooting. Only one niger was shot. He
got in the back, and will most likely diei
-Four young gentlemen we're crossing
Wolf river at a place known as Sulphur
Spring, yesterday, when the dug-out,
which they were navigating, turned over
and they all got first-class, but cheap
bathing. The reason the aforesaid dug.
ost capsized appears ia the fact that two
beautiful young ladies were standing on
the bank; the gentlemen all had lean
ing that way, and, consequently, leaned
over into the water and had to swim out.
The water happened to be very wet, and
their clothes chung to the calves Of their
legs as they crawled up the bank like the
bark on a sour apple tree. 1t also hap
pened that the young gentlemen had in
possession OF the time the fans and para
soils of the young ladies on the bank.
When the dug out topped up its bottom
and the four occupants became candi-
dates for watery grave, the ladies
| screamed in one breath, "Ohl my fan"
"Save my parasol," which showed their
| real sympathy. The biggest one of the
four, who Ia ahoHt the size of three
year old Durham, and is known as the
"Infant," came to the surface first. He
waited for the little ones to get hold of
his coat-tail, and then struck out fer the
shore just like stern-wheel steamboat.
They all landed safely, but the fans and
parasols were awful wet, and the youag
ladies we're much distressed.
