scores and incidents Scarcely a night
passed without meeting with Indians or
hunters, who are laying ia their supply of
meats. Clay is the iarihest county west

her citizens 90 west seventy five or

these four negroes were open, so they
walked out. Lewis Hart and Joe

We were in OwenbOro, last week,
and on Friday night, we attended a
grand Murphy meeting at Halls
Opera House. The crowd was i'm
mense and the enthusiasm was I'M
bounded. Hon. w. r. Ellis lead of
in a practical, pointed and effective
speech. aud called on them to ''rise,
sing and sign," and more than one
hundred responded. Maj. Baker Boyd
followed in a short talk that was earn
est and impressive, and did a great
deal Of good. They had secured the
names of four hundred persons up to,
and including that night. Judge
Stuart is happy. Many of the most
prominent citizens of Greensboro joined
the movement.

The undersigned, members of the
Greensboro bar, request our Represents
tives in the Legislature to introduce and
urge the passage of bill for the repeal
of the Code OF Practice in Civil Cases,
which went into effect on the LIST Janu-
airy 1871, and to readopt the Civil Code
OF practice as it existed up 10 the said LIST
day OF January 1877. 90
We think the old Cole is preferable to
the new one. because the laid Code had
been constructed 10y the Appellate Court
IN all its doubtful provisions. and the bar
of the State had become familiar with
the practice under it The practice under
it was simple and less expensive, than
under the present Code.
The new Code unscttles the practice

creases the costs of litigation to the peo-

Obituary.

In memory Of NARY. daughter of w.
c. and Mary Myrtle, horn August 25th,
1852, and died October 29lh. 1877. at
her fathers residence, in Ohio county,
ny, after lingering illness of three
weeks, of typhoid flux.
Her suffering WAS severe, her disease
defying the skill OF her attending physi-
clan, who was ever vigilant aud walch-
full, assisted 10y attending friends; vet de,
spite all their efforts, death claimed her
as its victim, and fond parents. kind re-
lations and devoted friends had to witness
her departure, and at last say, farewell,
Mary Though young-just in the bloom
of youth, in the vigor of early woman~
hood-she has passed away; gone to that
world of happiness where sorrow. sick,
ness, pain and death are not known and
parting never comes. In early life, in
her tender years, when her heart was
susceptible to the wooings of the Gospel,
she gave in her consent to it's teachings.
OLeying its commands, she Joined the
Christian Church, lived and died con>
sis.cnt member OF the same Like Mary
of old, she chose that good part that
never could be taken away from her
Appreciated and loved by all who knew
her, being chaste, kind, modest and in,
telligent, and, in very rare degree, pos
sessing those attributes that so highly
ador1 her sex, she was honored by all
who knew her, and she will long live in
the memory of those who knew her best.
Her demise will be keenly felt in the
midst Of her immediate friends and ac-
quaintances May her sleep be peaceful
until the resurrection morn, when she
will come forth to the fail enjoyment of
that rest that remains to the people OF
God. JAMES H. STIIH
