Heavy Firing on siashngga.

The Mitchell family is still in
trouble. Since we chroniclcd the
mysterious death of Miss Mitchell
her father and brother have been in
constant peril Of their lives, and the
hand Of the assassin seems to be di-
rocted against the whole family
The father, w. II, Mitchell, was late
ly fired upon one shot striking him
in the head and two in the shoulder.
We believe a negro living Oh the
place was arrested and examined,
but was released.
This week a rencontre occurred be-
tween Jos. Mitchell and Scott Trip
plett, a negro living on the place
The former shot his adversary twice
in the arm with squirrel shot, and
fired twice with his pistol, but noith-
er shot took effect. Afterwards the
negro got possession of the gun and
knocked Mitchell down, and when
the latter came to town the next day
his face was badly bruised Neither
was dangerously hurt, however.
Mitchell was put under a bond of
$500; we have not learned what was
done with the other party,
4 friend sending us these facts
says, at is time this killing and
shooting was stopped. If it can't be
done among themselves, the people
must stop it" All Of which we
heartily endorse.
Since the above was in type, we
learned hat the negro fired upon
Mitchell first.
