The Sabbath Schools Of the colored
Presbyterian and Missionary Baptist
Churches had a grand display and pic
mic last Friday morning, at the Mcclure
Grove. The colored Methodist school
would have taken part in it, had it not
interferred with their fast day and
quarterly meeting. In front came fine
carriage, in which sat the aristocratic
colored ladies. Next came the inevita>
bic drum and fife at the head of the col
umn. A large number Of notices were
emblazoned aloft OIL the banners, and
among them we noticed, "Let us have
peace-U. S. Grant; "Peace, be sti1";
Onward and upward; "Let there be
no strife between thee and mel; "Edu-
cation and enlightenment in transitu" !;
Long live our Queen" Behind them
was large wagon drawn by two black
dashing steeds, on which sat number
Of partially colored ladies. In the centre
of the group was an evergreen structure,
under which the "Queen of May" was
to be crowned The children were very
nicely, and some of them elegantly,

sheep could not walk. They dragged
themselves to the creek, however, and
being unable to swim, were drowned.

are unusually rich. The first article on
"Munsey and Punshon," the two great

much like it was the production of DIR.

and subtle yet clear discrimination of

Last Saturday night, at Carter's Creek
Station, Dutch Nichols, Scott stephens,
and Jim Polk, concluded they would
have some fun, and made it up between
them to scare Billy Pipkin, q young lad
in Folks employ, who is very scary.
Dutch, Jim and the boy, happened to be
coming up to the Station in the night,
and on the way Scott, who was station
ed,bchind the leathershopjust below Nc
Kay's store, fired off his pistol, Dutch
fell as though he was dead. Polk start
cd off to McKay's store ane the boy for
home, plunging through the creek, but
was afraid to go home by himself and
came back and begged to stay all night
at McKay's. Polk told Alex. Mckay
that Dutch had been shot down there,
and it is said Alex. turned over every
box and pulled open every drawer in
the store, in very energetic manner,
looking for his pistol, but could not find
it. He loaded up his shotgun and went
down with Jim to where Dutch was.
Dutch said he could not walk, was shot
through the calfof the leg. They carried
him up to McKay's and laid him on
beI, and Jim and Scott who had come i'm
about that time, started after a doctor
The joke leaked out about this time, and
Alex. bore it with the very best grace
possible, pending which they adjourned
to Jamison's saloon.
