pleasant and successful
journey until he reached

His SToRy.-Mr. Bedford G.
Guy, the colored radical candi-
date for the Legislature, having
been called upon to define his
position in the race-whether
he was right or left wingster,
or rather whether he belonged
to the Harvin or Klaeden wing
ofthe radical machine, called at
the BANNER office and explain
ed that he belonged to neither
wing of the radical party, but
was in fact the body of it" and
that he intended to use both the
wings-Klaeden and Harvin-
to fly into Office. The above is
substantially Guys story. Guy
is very small game andi hardly
worth wasting ammunition
upon; if left alone, he will kill
himself very soon. Having
giving Mr.. Guy the benefit of
his explanation, the BANNER
proposes to let him go on with
his own destruction.

As evidence ofthe effort now
beng made to greenbackise this
part of the country the BANNER
states, on the authority of a
gentleman whose veracity is I'M
impeachable; that to his certain
knowledge sixty copies of The

back paper, are received at one
small postoffice in this county.
The price of the paper is only
two bits year. yet many copies
are sent to the the addresses of
parties--Mhesneyer subscribed,
This is proof positive that the
paper is published for a purpose,
and by men who have plenty
of money to accomplish it. That
purpose is the defeat of the
Democratic party.
A TERRIFIC FALL.-On Satur-
day last a young man named

purpose and was being let down
again; just as he started he said,
Good bye boys" the words
were hardly out of his mouth
before the bucket slipped from
the rope and Minis was precipi
tated to the bottom, a distance
of seventy feet. Strange to say
he was not instantly killed;
upon being drawn out he was
found to be severely bruised but
no bones were broken. The
BANKER learned on Monday
hat Mr.. Minis injuries will pro-
baby prove fatal.

FlRE.-On Wednesday morn
ing about half past ten o'clock
the business part of town was
disturbed by the cry of ''nre. ;"
1t seems that some one in the
Office of Messrs. ]. H. Blake &
Co.. cotton buyers, in the sec
ond story of Asbeck's building,
struck match for the purpose
of lighting cigar or pipe. the
sulphur flew off and set fire to
a pile ofloose samples of cotton,
which at once blazed up filling
the room with smoke. The
Hook and Ladder Company and
also the members of Mechanics
Engine company and citizens
turned out, speedily extinguish-
ing the flames. A few goods in
the stores of Messrs. Asbeck,
Heineck & Co., and in Lehman
& Els saloon were slightly dam
aged by water.
