Colonel William P. Ross, head chic
of the Cherokees, at Gibson, learning
that the trial of Walford, who shot
Henry Nave's boy while in bed, had
progressed at Talaquah, and believing
that Judge Rowe, who was trying the
case. was not acting impaTtially, had
the Judge suspended until the matter
could be referred TO the executive cOun-
ell which was called TO meet on Friday
last.-VdR Buren (Ark.) Free Press.
The rain fall for the last twenty-five
days has been unprecedented. The farm
mers have had tough struggle to keeI
the grass down, but have so far been the
victors generally. We know of few
''pieces1 of cotton and corn that have
been lost, but so far farmers by hard
work have averted material damage.
With favorable season from this time
forward the crops in this part of the val
ley will be large.--AUstin Mss Cotton
Pant
For more than ten days the weather
has been unfaVoTable for the crops. The
rains have been excessive, driving both
hoes and plows from the fields, and, as
a consequence, the weeds and grass nave
had unobstructed sway. Upon fair
average, we should say that the cotton
crop has been considerably damaged.
The corn is very sappy, and must suffer
greatly before maturity unless the sea-
sons continue to nourish it OudchitG

We are officially informed that the

Saturday the track will be completed to
this place. Regular passenger and
freight trains will be running TO this
place by the fourth of July. The bridge
will be ready for the iron some time next
week.-ArkddelphiG Standard, 2lst.
We learn that the heavy rain and
wind of Sunday did very serious dam
age to the crops in the belt of country
northwest of this place. A freedman,
who farms across the lake, informed US
that there was considerable hail, as well
as wind and rain, in his neighbOrhood,
which badly injured both corn and cot
tOn-the hail beating off the limbs of the
latter, and the wind breaking of the tops
of the corn and blowing it down. Oats
were laid low when the wind passed,
and cannot be cut.-ShreUepOrt (Ld.)

DIR. P. F. Chapman eloped with his
neighbOr Pugh's wife at Greenwood,
last March. They went To California
and returned a few days since. Mrs.
Pugh left behind her husband and lit
tie daughter. Upon their return the
citizens of Greenwood held a public
IHeeting, and denounced Chapman and
Mrs. Pugh in the severest terms, and
requested them TO leave Sebastian
county in twenty-four hours. They
left-not together, however, as former
IL, but Mrs. Pugh and her former hus-
band made up,1 and the two are now,
as prior to the little pleasure trip of Mrs.
P, united together, leaving Chapman
TO Journey alone.-LittLe Rock Gazette.
The last issue of the Chattanooga
Times has nothing to say concerning
the operation Of the Alabama and Chat
tanooga road, but we find the following
paragraph in the last issue Of the Gads-
den Tines. 1t says: "Trains have
ceased running on the Alabama and
Chattanooga road again. The employees
met at Chattanooga Saturday, and no.
titled the officers that they would not
work any longer unless they received
their back pay. Where is lngraham
and his company? VIII the Alabama
and Chattanooga never get out of its
troubles? We hope that the road will
soon commence operations again, under
the management of parties who will
run the road successfully. ."-MO1tgoDl-

A Beauregard, a Hays, a Gibson,
false to race and country, and fOrgetful
of the precious lives which have been
sacrificed to build up their fame, now
sunk in the darkness of contempt and
execration, may pledge their own faith
70 the /" unificatiOn Of races whom the
Creator has east in widely distinct
moulds; and, reckless of the deep
damnatiOn brought by themselves on
their own names, may succeed in
their own fallen nature to
that of inferior beings; but they possess
neither the right nor the power to de-
GRADE TO an equality with themselves

whom God has, jointly with man, en-
trusted the inheritance Of the earth

On last Wednesday two little colored
children went 10 pick up some chips
back of Tansil & Francis's store, and,
seeing sow there with litter of young
pigs, thought they would have some fun
with them. The result was not to their
liking, for the hog, not liking the way
things were turning, or thinking, per-
haps, that the Africans desired TO rob
her Of one Of her numerous progeny,
showed fight, at which the Oldest of the
children sought safety in fight; but the
other one, too young to run away, fell
to the ground, when the old sow bit him
severely, cutting through the flesh of
the face and wounding the shoulder and
both hips very badly. Nordl.-Little
