Preaching the Funerals OF The Last
Generation. =

The Holly Springs Reporter oil
last week gives the following vivid
description Of the negro as he is:
We hear complaints OF the negrol
in every section otwur county. Inl
ton it is almost an impossibiiiy to
get negro cooks; aud when obtain
cd they leave on the slightest pre-
text aud Wien the slightest pretext
Is not given, they attend "mcctings'I
every night, shout aud scream until
next morning, and ard unified for
work during the day. IN the eoun-,
try many negroes are neglecting
their crops, md cotton and corn ard
running IN the fields. A great many
have gone IN debt for supplies, cloth
ing and gewgaws, and owe more
thsn their crops will realize. They
therefore argue that it is folly 10,
pick out cotton and gather corn for
other men to enjoy. Our crops are
poor enough, in oil conscience, and
the Incidence and worthlessness Of
the negro are making them tiyefold
wore. Welearnt that In one neigh
borbood the negroes leave their work
for whole days together to attend
negro militia meetings and negro
funerals. A friend Informs us that
they are preaching the funerals Of
negroes who died fifteen and tweaty
years ago. II tie negro does not
improve, and bitter experience tells
~ there VI little hope, other labor
will have to be introduced, or iur.
mers viii be compelled to cease thei,
efforts 10 make crops. The condi
ton 81 the entire Southern countr,
illustrates torcibly tho tendency an
effects Of Radical fcconatruction al
negro legislation.

Wednesday Evening. May IS. 1870.

ACCIDENTALLY SHor-A quiet and
industrious man named Pat Summers,
who has been living in Memphis for
twenty years, and who owns a comfort
able and pretty place on Dunlap avenue,
between Poplar street and the Louisville
railroad, was accidentally shot yesterday
by gunsmith named Sutton, who has a
shop on Washington street between
Main and Front. 1t appears that Sum
mers had left a pistol at Sutton's shop
for repairs; and calling for it yesterday,
Sutton was not able to distinguish Sum
mers weapon from another of the same
make One cf the pistols, while being
examined by Sutton, exploded, and the
ball from il lodged in the region of Sum
mers abdomen, inAicting wound from
which he is not likely to recover. This
is a very sad accident, and ought to be a
lesson TO people to be careful in hand
ling firearms.

STRAWBERRY FEsTIvAL.-The straw

was one of the sweetest and prettiest
things Of the season. The ladies of the
First Presbyterian church displayed ex-

deur and elegance and refinement when
they have mind to. The tables pre-
sided over by Mrs. Woodruff, Mrs. Mum

DIR. Jones, Mrs. Napoleon Hill, Miss Sell

Mrs. Dennison, Mrs F. A. Tyler, Miss
Elder, Miss Rambaut, Mrs. A. J. White,
Mrs. Felix Robertson and Mrs. d. Nc
Combs were laden with meats and richly
decorated. This afternoon there will be
a delicious lunch set, and tonight The
festival will open with additional luster
and beauty.

itated by the new arrangement, the ad-

is made in less time The FIRST arrival
under the new arrangement landed pas

so speedy that our railroad deprivation

public"

RAILROAD CoNNECTIoNs.-A correspon-
dent of the Macon Miss Beacon says:
If the roads to Canton, and from thence
to Vicksburg, shall ever be constructed,
the connection is at once formed with
the Southern Pacific terminus at Mar
shall, Texas, the road from Vicksburg to
Shreveport being almost already built.
Then if we go to Tuscaloosa from Ma
con, we connect with the road leading to
Chattanooga, placing US at a prominent
point on the great through Travelled route
from Norfolk, Va, on the Atlantic, to
San Francisco, Cal, on the Pacific"

TRoTTNG PARK.-Charley Williams is
making the Trotting Park quite pleas

Watkins G. G. Godolphin, Joe Seligmans
b. G. Captain Blake and A. Bloch's S.
m. Judy, which was won by Captain
Blake. The second was trotting match
