! bunch of the most remarkable beans we

I own garden, planted, cultivated aud reap
ed by himself. Several OF them measured
f two feet and half in length and one inch

f TROUBLE BREwING.-FOr the last ten
. days or two weeks frequent collisions have
/ occurred between whites and blacks
Several serious afTrays are reported by the
; I Olice. Intense evaporation exists and
: the feeling Of bitterness Is spreading among
both colOrs- Fights haze occurred both
day and night, :and the Police Court has
h"en crowded several hours every day in
Trying the beIigeraHts. The authorities
should exerc sc extra vigilance, prompt to
arrest disiurhers of the pence, and firm in
executing the law upon the gull y, whether
white or black. We fear that serious
trouble is brewing, and hence would warn
the authorities to be on their guard.
SPEAKISG.-N learn that Mr.. j. NJ. |
Ozmanf, OF MeNairy county. will speak At
Aontezuma on Thursday the 2lst. Sub |
ject-BrOad ". Mar 'Ow Gauge Railroads"
Mr.. Ozmant is not narrow gauge man,
and with all the native power and elo- |
quenee OF his nature will eliminate that /
"Dolly Warden" system. Maj. Sykes, the /
prospective narrow-gauge king-and the
wOrdy-wise vindcator If narrOw-g gauge |
things in generals invited TO meet Mr..
Ozmant on the occasion. However, Sykes /
wont be there. He is too busy explaining
70 the people Of Henderson, that they are
able 20 build two railroads, although they
have decided on two occasions, that they
were not able TO build one. We hope that
Mr.. Ozmant will have his speech reported.

THE NAILS DELAY.-A letter dated
Pinson, August 3rd, and mailed on that a
day, did net reach its destination in this c
City until the 18th, although the distance
between the two points is only twelve !
miles. This Is but one instance in many OF
such delays, which are criminal in them
selves and q disgrace TO the Aail Depart
ment Frequently our paper, mailed to {
Pinson and Medon on Saturday ut II O'clock G
am, does not reach those points, just II !
miles distant, before Monday, or the mid
die of the next week. There can be no {
good excuse for such delay and those in I
authority owe it TO themselves and the
public they serve, to remedy the evil. TO /
them we appeal once more for that justice |
which Is the right of every citizen, and the
duty Of every official to guard.
\ CHILD PAINFULLY MANGLRD NY A
DoG.--On Monday evening, in East Jack I
son, little girl Of Mrs. Gilfoil, five years
old, while playing in the yard of Mrs.
Nichols, was bitten in the face by large 4
dog, and frightfuily nangled The unfor-
tunate child, with several of her little COM
panions, were chasing chickens for amuse- !
ment, the dog got in her way, she struck !
him with small switch, and he jumped {
upon her, biting hen in the face, crushing ,
her nose and tearing the flesh from her
right jaw. She is fearfully hurt, perhaps |
MANNED for life, but we hope not fatally.
Why will people keep bad, dangerous dOgss !
They never bite any but innocent persons, /
and it d ,es seem to US that humanity, TO {
saF nothing Of civilization and christiani- I
ty. demands tEat sGGG dogs should not be
kept in towns at least.
