A BRUTAL MURDER.
Nose Gregory (eoIOredl Attempts the
Life of bis wife. and Kills hts
Daughter A Terrible
Crime

Special to Che Appeal
SARDIs, Miss, June S.-Crime seems
to increase among the coiored race In
proportion to the years of their emanei-
patton, and to-day have 10 chronicle
one of the most cOld-blooded, deliberate
and fiendish murders that ever stained
the annals of Mississippi. A negro man
named Nose Gregory, with a family
consisting of wife and seven small chill
dren, has been living ON the fam of
Mrs. cambridge, near Como. OF late,
from all that can be gathered, the mari
tai relations of Nose and his wife were
anything but happy, or even agreeable.
The green-eyed monster principally
caused the domestic tribulations Of
Nose, added to which his wife, be-
ing rather positive and determined to
do as she pleased. Such state of affairs
soon produced a great family discord,
which finally eliminated in a tragedy.
On Saturday night after a rupture, the
wife, accompanied by her daughter,
Emma Gregory, who is about thirteen
years of age. visited a sick daughter,
who also lives ON the farm, Nose fol-
lowed them (having threatened to kill
his wife) stealthily to the house with a
pistol, crouching in the ehimney-oorner
10 AN hib lllc luIc VI tuS
woman. After remaining until about nine
o'clock they left for home, and on reach
ing the yard Nose fired at his wife, who
1t may be well to add, was daily expect
ing confinement. The murderous bail
missed the intended victim, but taking
effect in the daughter Emma's side. she
lived about an hour, suffering excrucia-
ting pSin, repeating constantly and
dying with "My father killed me"
clinging to her lips. Nose was IN
stantly needed in other parts. The
negroes at once set aboutin search Of the
murderer. He was caught in the neigh
borhOod of the tragedy and confessed
the deed. He said ~ killed her
but, by Cd, / was after the other, and,
Cd d-n her, I'll kill her yet." He
was brought to Sardis and lodged in Jail,
where he now reposes In safety. He was
examined to-day before his honor Mayor
J. A. Polk and Magistrates /. n. Davis
and J. G. Duvall. He was found guilty
and returned to Jail without bail toawait
his final trial on the fourth Monday in
September, when, as there do not seem
to be any mitigating circumstances, We
suppose the law will be vindicsted in
this case at least,

IN sIEMORIAM.
Thomas winchester Lake,


Son of Mr.. Henry and Mrs. Janet Lake, of
Shelby county Tennessee, was born October
l3, lS44 and departed this life May %, 1874,
aged % years, months and Ii days.
MrLAKE developed into manhood during
the late civil war which involved his parents
In much distress, loss and afliicJion. His
warm heart and genial manners gave him
great success in overcoming difficulties, which
constantly occurred during that troubled
period, and made him a source OF strength
and comfort 70 his parents. After his fathers
death he devoted himself with the tenderest
and most thoughtful ministries to his widowed
mother. He remained with her up TO the
very night in which ne was stricken down
by some unknown rObber.
The same qualities which made him the
dear son that ne was, characterized him as &
husband and father. He was married ON the
18th October, 1870, to Miss sarah jackson
DonelsOn, daughter of Mr.. Alexander Donel-
son, Henry Lake, three years old in August
next.
hr, LAKE when quite young, professed faith
in our Lord Jesus Christ, and was baptized
into the membership of the First Baptist
church OF this city, by Rev Mr.. Drane, in the
spring OF 1857. On the constitution Of the
Central Baptist church in December, 1866, he
united with that church. While he confessed
and deplOred his personal failures in the
christian race, he never fsltered in his faith
in the Lord Jesus, as the only Saviour Of sin
neEs, nor In his GdmiTaticn for those who
walked steadily and constantly in the com
mantls OF the Lord.
The very large attendance of deeply dis
tressed friends At his funeral showed the
high esteem in which Mr.. LAKE and his fami-
ly are held in this community, and tue abun-
dant sympathy which Is felt for the deeply
afflicted family 30 suddenly beFeaVed of a

+" THOSE ARMS. :"
The Impudenee OF she ROWdy and
Cheeky Negro Lenders or Memphis.

EDITORS APPEAL-In your issue OF
last Sunday | discover an article In re-
gard to 'HThose Arms" hurting the most
fearful imprecations at "that little sheet,
the Ledger" and signed "Civis." Now
We understand that the course of the
Ledger in regard to the trouble brewing,
resulting from the civil rights bill, is, Is
il has heretofore been, to present to the
view Of the public the true state Of af-
fairs. We have good reason TO believe
that everything Published in that paper
in reference to the subject at issue was
fully and firmly believed to be true.
This being the case, then, is it not right
to unfold to the white mans eye the
condition of affairs? Who is the honor
able man who would not exonerate a
cOtemp0rary or private individual, that
would refuse to veil, by remaining ST.
lent, the foul-scented infamy in our city,
as portrayed by every move, motion,
and action of particular class of ne
groes, who are constantly building with
in the more ignorant and innocent class
the fires of hatred and animosity against
the whitese l extract not my remarks
from mere suppositions that might
spring up from feelings of animOsity to-
ward the negro; neither are they re-
marks from a prejudiced heart, for Of
these l experience none. But they are
remarks prompted by facts that cannot
be eontradicted. In the first place, for
example, l will state for the benefit Of
Mr.. ''Civis" few words which
CHANGED to OveThear in a conversation
between colOred officeholder of this
city and another negro. Iquote: ave
ought to stop trying to scare them, and
go to shooting, and set fire to the town,
and see how that would work. These
remarks were uttered by one OF the pre-
tended neutrality-suspicious.. Again:
''They do not want us to go in their
parlors, but they go in our bedrooms
and @.n Often have overheard
remarks similar to those INDUCED in by
the above referred to class Of "colored
gentlemen" Does this sound like Ian
guage that should characterize good,
faithful, true, and law~abiding citizens?
No, sir. II Mr.. "Civisii would have the
negroes appear so sweetly innocent, and
would remove from our minds the firm
belief that "there Is something rotten in
Denmark" then he must prevail upon
his eolored friends to dispense with the
open abuses and insinuations which are
constantly being hurled at the white
man from the mouths of these predom-
inant negroes. That negroes are FORM
ing secret organic zltiOns is a fact of
which we have GemOnstTative evidence.
awe want peace" Is the cry of the
white man. awe will force more upon
you, is the cry of the negro.

Two American Magazines.

E'lIE excellence OF American Magazines has become
so we'll recognized abroad, that one of the leading
English Papers, the "Lonion Weekly Register" in u
recent issle thus speaks of "Scrihncr's Monthly"
I'VE are constrained to own that "Scrihncr's Month

Nothing can be charming than the cuts full VI

nal articles, really do not know which choose as
best, for each and all are excellent"
Not only is it true that "Scribncrs Monthly" exceis
the English Magazines, but 1t is the best of American
Monthlies."
In the extent variety and artistic excellence of its
illustration of American themes it has never been even
approached, much less eAcelled II has larger page

An Old Church,

A correspondent recently while in Wi
comico county, Md, paid visit to an old
Episcopal church on the banks of the Wi
comico river, 10 miles from Salisbury, known
as Green Hill Church lie says:
This venerable old building was built of
brick, in the year 1888, as we are informed
by figures curiously made OF dark-colored
brick set in the wall over the entrance. In
side are the old-lashioned pews with their
high, straight backs, constructed, no doubt,
as aids to devotion, by excluding from the
sight OF wandering eyes, all objects that
might, perchance, disturb the mind Of the
devout worshipper. The pulpit is placed on
one side, about halfway between the door
and the chancel, and has above it large
bell-shaped apparatus, intended to concen-
tratc the sound of the preachers voice. and
send it in trumpet tones into the needless
sinners ears. Both pulpit and pews are in a
good state of preservation. The floor is
made of brick, all of which, bo'h for the
floor and building, having bccn made in
England.
In the grave yarl attached to this vcnrr-
able edlfce may be seen the graves of sever
al generations who there quietly await the
trumpet-penl of the resurrection morn. On
one tombstone the date 1880 could be de-
ciphered, but the gnawing tooth of time had
obliterated the name and age of the occupant
of the tomb. Many curious cpitaphs were
craven on the head-stones, one of which, us
true as it is quaint, was upon the tomb of
Ann Parker, wife of Capt. John Parker, of
Hampshire, England, who died in 1866, aged
70 years. The inscription is as follows:
This world is a city full of crooked streets;
Death is market-place where all must meet ;
If life was merchantablc and money could buy,
The rich would live and the poor would die.
The church has not been used as place
of worship for some time, and is, consequent
ly, falling into decay. 1t is an object of no
little interest at present. and as time rolls on
it will become exceedingly interesting to the
antiquarian and the historian.
