Mr.. j. +. Mccarthy, General Souther
Agent of the st. Louis, Kansas City an
Northern Railway, and Mr.. +. J. Sisson
| General Southern Passenger Agent q
he st. Louis, Iron Mountain and Grea
Southern Railway, called on us las
Wednesday, and informed US that re
cent article which appeared in our pape
on the emigration of negroes to Kansas
had caused misapprehension in tn,
minds Of the people, and in that way
had done them injustice. We cheerful
ly give them the benefit of their owr
statement. They are not immigration
I agents to carry off negroes to Kansas
ihey simply represent their respective
roads, and the only interest they take in
the emigration of negroes to Kansas is
to induce those who have determined
to go, to go oyer their roads.
| Policeman Haynes informs us that
ninety-three negroes, mostly men, left
the depot last Wednesday night for
| Kansas. The country they go to is ex-
| cessively cold in the winter, but the
| land IS said to be fertile. Granville Cor
don recently wrote back to Harry San
| derson, that he was making forty dol
| lars "A month; but then GranviIle's
! statements must be taken with some
| grains OF allowance, when he says it is a
/ glorious country.
Judge Gaut, of Nashville, was married

II G. { ntf Evr h..
| that they have the best lot of fishing
tackle ever brought to Columbia. They

splendid stock of fishing tackle. They
have the SprOat Hook, which we have
Tied for two reasons past, and found it
about the best hook going. Call early.
Billy Fisher, nephew of w. L. MUIR
ply, came near losing his life last We'd
uesday evening. He was driving MUIR
ply IL Attwell's tin express wagon: his
wagon was standing in front of Samuel
Cooks grocery; a boy hit his mule with
rock, which made the mule run away,
Some buggies were in the road, and
Billy ran his mule up on the pavement,
and into Wise DObbius' fence. The
mule dragged him on the pavement by
the lines, which were wrapped around
his hands, an hundred yards. He stop
ped in front Of Mort Hodges residence,
the OK press fastened between a tree and
the fence. Billy was badly bruised,
but, strange TO say, he was not seriously
injured.

Major John l.. Wilson will accept our
thanks for late Washington papers |
Major is still in Washington City. |
Through the courtesy of his representa- |
tive, Hon. w. c. Whitthorne, he has |
the privilege OF going upon the floor of |
President Grant. The President was
Colonel OF Major Wilson's Regiment
during the war, and they were we'll ac-
quainted. No doubt they had a good
long talk over old wa" times, last Mou-
day. The Major stands high with
the officials, anu doubtless with Grant,
for he has q splendid war record. He |
was ON the floor OF Congress the other
day, when Ben Butter ''shot off his
mouth" We take this method of send
ing to the Major the kind regards OF all |
bis ''galOOt" friends, although they
wrote some bad words on his door.
