If drunken men do not like to be

the law will take its course, and keep on

Rome, Smith county, was seen to
leave the village very drunk, in COM
pany with negro. His horse was
found in the stable next morning, his
hat was found by a stranger who said
it was laying on top of the bluff,
which is at that point about 100 feet
high and nearly perpendicular. 1t is
supposed he fell over the bluff into the
creek and foated into the river.
jackson Dispatch Thursday morn>
ing, April 18th, Mr. T. G. Grady,
night Waterman, observed that one of
the cars had been forcibly entered.
He Immediately acquainted Mr. Coffee,
the conductor, with the fact, and
while the latter was absent at the De-
pot, he approached the car, and look
ing in discovered a negro, whom he
ordered to come out. 1t was neces-
sary to repeat the order two Or three
times before it was oheyed. Having
arrested the negro, Mr. G. proceeded
with him toward the Depot, and on
the way asked him where he had brok-
en- into the car; to which he replied,
sup the road" As they approached
the Depot, they met the conductor who
was returning to his train. The ne
gro becoming alarmed, epdeavored to
make his escape, running toward
Chester Street, with Mr. O.. in hot
pursuit. After an exciting chase, the
negro suddenly turned in Mr. Tomlin-
sons alley, and said, cd d-n
you, if you don't stop, I'll make YOU"
when Mr. G. Immediately fired. The
negro took twoor three steps, and fell.
When Mr. G.. came to him he vas
breathing heavily, and when address,
ed made no reply. He expired in a
few minutes.

Some of our Democratic contempt
raries seem to be a little confused by
the Presidents southern policy, ard
fight him as vigorously as they did
Grant. If Tilden had been seated,
we believe he would have adopted
nearly the same policy that Hayes is
now pursuing. Would our friends
have been dissatisfied with him? If
Hayes wants to be our friend, let's
not get mad with him. If he wishes
to turn Democrat, all right, let us
open the doors of the church and re-
ceive him. If he commits n wrong
act, then is time enough to abuse him.

Extraordinary Shooting.

A drinking saloon near lockwood
in this county was the scene of some
target practicing the other day that
hasn't been equaled since the days of
William Tell. A party of men Eve
did not learn any of their names) in
Guiding colored man had INDUCED
in beer and mixed drinks until the
friend and brother had become stupe>
fed, and in that condition was utilized
as Il support for target board, at
which the others INDUCED in pistol
practice, until a ball from a pistol in
the hands of a marksman, whose POI
tations had probably not been so FREE
quent as the Others, pierced the "bulPs
eye" and passing through punctured
the hide Of the slumbering darkey,
which caused him to start up, and
taking in the situation at a glance,
broke for the woods, amid the shouts
and shots of the men. This had af>
forded so much merriment for all en-
gagged that other similar experiments
g
were INDUCED in, such as holding up
of hats to be shot at, holding short
stem pipes in the mouth to be shot at,
and in one instance at least, pipe so
held was shot away. One more en-
thusiastic, thoughtless Or daring than
the Others, in holding his hat up as a
target, held it by the crown. and when
Il ball struck the hat it also struck his
hand, passing through, In this pros
miscuous and extraordinary shooting
strange to say this was the first blood
brought, and fortunately had the eff
feet Of stopping further target prac-
tice, which for recklessness and
uniqueness exceeds anything we have
ever heard of.-Kingston East Ten
