-0nr Leader.

It is a somewhat superaRnuated
custom for the editors of country
newspapers to furnish their readers
each week with what is called in
editorial parIance, a Leader I'VE
are glad to see that this custom,
IKE many Others OF an Anticipated
character, is being wiped out by
improvement and, is rapidly falling
into disuse. A Neader means that
the editor must write a column or
so of something, even if it contains
nothing. Politics, Immigration,
Turnpikes, the condition Of the
country, or some topic as old asthe
memory of Adam, constitute sub
jects which must needs be treated,
whether practical common sense in.
terposes or not We conceive it to
be the mission Of a country news
paper to give the county news
First Of ali, it should record every
item of local occurrence that will
interest it's local readers. Politics,
Immigration, Turnpikes' and that
threadbare subject The condition
of the Country" merit only period
ical notice. We do not mean to say
that Immi gsation, or Turnpikes are
unworthy Of discussion, but we do
mean to say that everlasting, new
Cr-ceasing Leaders on such subjects
givcn to the exclusion of local news
Is an imposition on the reading
public generally. The earnest and
intelligent reader of a county paper
knows the duty of its editor by in
stinct. He knows it is his duty to
give him the county news. If he
wants political problems or essays
on immigration, he resorts to jour
mails whose columns are exclusively
devoted to these matters. He ex-
poets these things of them. He
does not expect them from hiscoun-
ty paper. Therefore, we intend to
publish county newspaper devo-
ted to county news and resume Of
each weeks events, but first of all,
we shall open our columns to cOun-
ty news. If we do not have a
'Leader," our readers will know
that we have nothing to write a
Leader about.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A GILES County Young Man Shot
by the Deputy Sheriff of
LauderdaIe County, ala.

On the night ofthe Ind inst. two
valuable horses were taken secretly
from a couple Of men living near
Pleasant Hill, in this county, one Of
whom was a tenant on DR.. WATERS
place and the other on that of Mr..
SAINT CosBY, The disappearance
of the animals led to a search and
it was discovered that they had been
left at the house of a Mr.. WILLIAMS,
who resides near Lexington, Ala,
oyer the line, and who held claims
against the owners Of the horses. =.
Mr.. WILLIAMS, upon receiving the
horses, also obtained a statement
as to their ownership. He immedi-
ately took out an attachment and
had them levied upon by an officer,
who took them to Florence where
{ he lodged them in a livery stable
for safe keeping. In a few days af-
forwards the owners Of the horses,
accompanied by five other men,
traced them to the livery stable at
Florence and very naturally took
possession of them without any Ie-
gal process and started for home.
Upon arri;ing at Rogersville they
were overtaken by the Deputy
Sheriff of Lauderdale county. Ala,
when an alteration ensued, which
resulted in pistol shots being ex-
changed. Young SMITH EDMUND
son, son of Esq'r Jos. S. EDMUSD-
son, who resides near Bethel, in this
county, was shot through the right
arm and side and wound inflicted
which was thought at first to be ia
tai. He was left at Rogersville and
we are glad to hear that he is recov-
ering and will soon be able to be
brought home. BES LoSG and -
HIcKERsoN Of the Giles county par
ty were captured. by the Sheriff and
carried to Florence, where they
were tried and acquitted, and the
horses ordered to be turned over to
them. They have since returned
home with them.
Since the above was put in type
we have received a letter from Esq
Jos. 5. EDarUNDsoN, father of the
young man who was shot cprtobo-
rating. our statement of this affair,
with the exception. Of that part Of it
which says the Deputy Sheriff of
Lauderdale county headed the pur-
suing party. No legal officer was
present or engaged in the shooting.
Esq. E. also says that upon iRvesti-
ton Il WAS Gnnnd that the attach
luent was sworn out on the Gath Of
March, some ten days before they
were taken from their owners, a fact
which goes to prove that WILLIAMS
anticipated the removal of the hor-
ses from this State to Alabama.

Cheering Crop Prosneets.

From every direction the cheer
ing information comes that there is
promise ofgreat abundance. The
growing cereals look well, and the
soil and labor have rarely been in
better condition to produce good
crops of cotton tobacco and other
things, while throughout the whole
Southern country the peach and
other fruit trees are laden with
fruit. This gratifying news comes
from all the Western and Southern
States, and no doubt we shall have
the same from the North and East
as soon as the season. is a little more
advanced.
