The new overseer of the McGraw ford
road, has given said road a thorough
oYerhauling, and it is in better fix now
than for many years.
Rev. w. G. Hensly preached to a large
audience in Greenfield's Bend on last
| Sunday. The church house not being
| completed, organization of the church
was deferred. We are informed that
the doors, sash, glass, nails, hinges, ETC.,
haye been bargained for, and the house
will be speedily completed.
Lewis McAnnally, COL, a faithful old
negro, died in Greenfeld's Bend, last
week.
Miss - Woody, young lady six
teen or seventeen years old, daughter of
William Woody, of tho Santa Fe coun-
try, died rather suddenly and unex-
pectedly a short time since ofdiphtheria
She was sitting up in chair when she
died.
Wei regret to announce that Miss Ida
L., of the Cross Bridges neighborhood, is
quite i'll with fever.
Rev. G. w. Mcbride, of the Sawdust
neighborhood, occupied the Methods
pulpit at this place last Sunday.
Alex. Gray, accompanied by his gem
tie and accomplished sister, Miss Paul.
ma G., both from the hospitable couny OF
Hickman, and the land of pretty ladies,
are visiting relatives in the village. We
are informed by Mr.. Gray that Mr.. Mar
tin, the gentleman so badly used up in
the ARRAY at the Fair at CentIeville, has
so far recovered that he is able to walk.
The city of Louisville, KY, was fully
represented in our town on the 9th OF
of last month by Messrs. Evans, Boom
er and Shields, who each represent
substantial business house of that city.
The epizootic is again among the
horses, mules, etc., of this neighbor-
hood, but as yet in o mild form.
We are informed that some of the M.
P. Erwin tract of land, on Turkey
Creek, was sold last week for twenty
two dollars per acre, which somewhat
illustrates the enormous depreciation of
real estate in this country. Five or six
years ago the same land would have
sold for nearly double the above price.
o'PossUM PIE.
We had the pleasure not long since OF
being one of party, who were principly
young bachelors, that wined and dined
at Bachelors Den," the hospitable
home of Capt. F. B. c., on Snow Greek.
Knowing the utter inability of any pen
or pencil to portray the many delicacies
and substantials under which our hosts
board groaned, we will not try, but
name heads this paragraph, worthily
occupied it's place. After dinner, as we
sat behind pipe of "Long Green" and
silently ruminated over the many unS
speakable pleasures of bacalorhood,
we could suppress rising feeling of
pity for that class of men so torcibly
by 1Esop in his fable of the
fox with his narrative short, called mar
ried men, and we thanked our stars that
there was yet
"a favored and happy spot,
A lone and pleasant deli;
n here babies never YELL
Where crinOline is not;
Where weary man can smoke in peace;
Where hoops and cradles are out of place"

THE YAZOO TRAGEDY.
The killing of Charles r. FaWn
by Frank Russell, the Son of the
Deputy Sheriff.

The particulars of the killing of Chas.
E. Fawn, who had been appointed by
Morgan as deputy Sheriff of Yazoo
county, by Frank Russell, the son of j.
7. Russell, another deputy, are given in
the subjoined dispatch from Judge Hud-
son. The affair gave rise to various ex-
aggerated reports. 1t will be seen that
1t did not originate from politics;
and that the white citizens, so far from
being unfriendly to the deceased, or de-
string to throw obstacles in his way in
the performance of his official duties,
had made his bond for 500, 1000, and that
they look with horror upon the deed.
We are not advised what political party
young Russell is a member of, but have
understood that his father is a Republic
can. At all events, the latter has been
deputy, by appointment of Morgan,
for some length of time, and the infer
ence is that they both belong to the same
party:
Gen. j. z. George:
YAZoo CITY, MISS, Oct. 26.
Charles E. Fawn, deputy Sheriff, has been
killed in the Courthouse by Frank Russell,
son of j. 7. Russell, another deputy Sher-
III. 1t was private affair, in no way con-
nected with politics. The prominent DEM
ocrats here had just made Fawn's bond for
$4,000. The whites have arrested Russell,
and held him in custody. Great sorrow
and indignation at the deed prevails among
our whole people. We had no notice of
such intention or purpose, or it would not
have been done. Russell is now on trial,
and win be lodged In jail.
You shall have full particulars. Dickson
and squad arrested Russell.

Death Of Prominent Citizen.

YAzoo CITY, Oct. 26.-Jackson Clarion:
This city was thrown into state of ex-
element this morning, caused by
THE MURDER
OF Mr.. Chas. Z. Fawn at the Courthouse.
On the news spreading through the city,
the people focked to the scene OF the trag-
edy. The killing was done by Mr.. Frank
Russell. young man of this city, and son
of Mr.. j. T. Russell, who has been in pos
session of the Sheriff's Office since Morgan's
departure. The particulars, as far as can
learn, are these: Mr.. Charles E. Fawn, who
Is Republican, and one generally liked by
everybody, at the solicitation Of some of
THE LEADING CITIZENS,
made arrangements with Morgan to take
the sheriff's Office and run it during Nor
gan's unexpired term. He gave a good
bond, having the names of the best men of
the county upon it. 1t seems that Mr.. Rus
sell looked upon this turn of affairs as an
Infringement upon his fathers claims to the
Office, who was at the time filling the posi-
ton. At any rate, Mr.. Frank Russell went
I'd the COurJ-nOuSe TINS morning. ana called
Mr.. Fawn out of the Sheriff7s office. They
walked short distance from the office
door, Fawn having Russell's arm, when
Russell drew his pistol and shot him. The
ball struck him in the forehead, passing out
at the back of his head, scattering blood
and brains over the floor, killing him al
most instantly.
The people look upon it as
MOST FOUL MURDER,
and In mass meeting, denouncedit in the
bitterest terms. 1t was not political af-
fair, as a number of leading Republicans,
and also the brother of the murdered man,
testified in dispatch to Governor Ames.
The people
GREATLY DEPLoRE IT,
and some very bitter feeling is felt and ex-
pressed against Russell. The Mayor has
ordered out special police to guard the Jail
against any attack of violent nature upon
the prisoner. No one knows what the NOR
row will bring forth. The worst is feared.

of this county. breathed his last at his resi-

FALSE REPORTS.
A specimen Of them.

The air is thick with false reports,
maliciously manufactured for partisan ef-
feet, or originating in the excited imagi-
nation of panic-stricken political game
sters, who are playing the last card in
a desperate and hopeless contest. The
gatherings OF Democrats and Conserva-
tives. white aud colored, TO take counsel
together with the ususal accomplishments
of political canvassng, music and drums
and cannon, are construed into warike
demonstrations, when nothing but peace
and goodwill aud rejoicing over the
prospective redemption Of the State from
hideous uisrule, aresmeant. The truth
is, the Radical leaders are not in dread
Of bodily harm. They are only terror
stricken at the prospect Of losing the
offices, and to produce adiyersion, in their
desperation, they manufacture all kinds
of absurd and malicious lies. Those
which are contradicted in the following
despatch from Yazoo county, are speci-
mems of the thousands that are made out
Of whole cloth
YAzoo Cry, Miss, Oct 26, 1875.
TO j. u. George and T.. Barksdale:
Yours received. II is wholly false that
armed men are patrolling the streets and
roads Of Yazoo with ropes at their saddles,

(colored) has been lost. Jacob Sidney, (eol-
ored) was killed by Burt Reddit (coored)
in private quarrel about a woman Color
ed Longstreet was charged as accessory.
A warrant was issued, under which he has
been arrested He Is now undergoing an
examining trial before the justice Of his
District. DO urge the Governor to inquire
before adopting the false reports which con-
stanuy reach him
