-Short-haired men, nay, close-c clipped
birds of the ''nobby" order, are visible every
dcy on our streets, and to many people it
seems great comfort and convenience-we
mean the shaven head-this kind of weather.
But such is not the fact; our experience has
proved the contrary. The chief motives of
such "shaven birds is in the following
reasons: He can comb his head in the morn
ing with a wet towel, and his hair is fixed
for the day. BARRIERS don't annoy him with
the suggestion that his hair needs shampoo
ing and trimming up little; and when ne
sees an Anticipated young man with his
hair parted in the center he has the peaceful
reflection that there is no immediate danger
of his own being divided in Ike manner.

draws flies like a sugar-bowl. How is that,

Friday night an unknown person at
tempted to kill Caesar Cole, colored man,
living on Second street, in Chelsea. The as
sassin stealthily approached within twenty
feet of the house, and seeing Cole with his
daughter on his knee, sitting in the door,
fred one shot and fed. The screams of the
terrified child, and the report of the pistol,
attracted quite crowd of people, who, upon
learning the cause OF the noise, became quite
indignant. Upon examination, it was found
that three small shot had struck the little girl
in the knee, but fortunately no serious wound
was produced Caesar Cole made narrow
escape, as his legs and body were peppered
with shot. His wounds, though painful, are
not dangerous. The person who attempted
this murder must have used pistol, as the
small shot scattered. He fired only once.
Suspicion rests on one Henry Eason, who had
a difficulty with Cole some time ago. AS yet
10 arrest has been made.
