Some "hend" in human shape

s o'clock by firing at the old

and his wife were sitting on the
front gallery. Five buckshot
passing oyer his wife's shoulder
and penetrating the wall in close
proximity to the old mans head.
The whole affair is a mystery

WORKING HIS WAY.-A very
large negro mounted on an in
finitismal donkey created much
amusement on Sandy street on
Saturday. There was a differ
ence of opinion between the
man and the donkey; the man
wanted to go one way and the
donkey another. A Mississippi
river tow boat with a big tow Of
coal barges could be stecred
with greater case than this don
kew.

Nor A MURDER. - Early
Wednesday morning quantity
ofb'lud, b'lud, was discovered on
the sidewalk on Ant street ex-
tending from Main to Sandy.
There was rumors of a b'ludy
murder, a free fight, a knock
down and drag-out, and other
horrible conjectures. No one
seemed to know or have any
idea when or how the b'lud got
on the sidewalk, or whether it
was the b'lud of a human or a
feathery biped, though there
was almost too much of the
crimson fluid to have come from
the body of chicken so mex
perienced in the ways of the
world as to roost low enough
to be gobbled up by maraud-
ing darkey. a member of the
metropolitan police force, who
was out bctimes, soon discov-
cred the b'lud and set his wits
to work unravclling the bloody
mystery. Three hours of very
shrewd detective work was de-
voted to the subject and it
was finally discovered that ne
gro man had cut his foot by
stepping on broken black bot
tie, supposed to have at one
time contained whiskcy. Thus
ingloriously ended the investi-
CATION, and at the same time
ruined the prospects Of a first
class local item.

The Labor Question.

CHAPPELL HILL July 10. 70.
/ Proceedings of a mass meet
ing of the citizens OF Chappell
Hill and vicinity.
Pursuant to u previous notice
the meeting was called to order
and DR.. J. NJ. Nelson, was ellec-
ted chairman, Col. J. NJ. Mich
olson secretary.
The object of the meeting
was explained to be to take into
consideration the labor question
and adopt such measures as the
agricultural" interests may de-
mand.
The following Preamble and
resolutions was offered by NJ.
M. Fielder and unanimously
adopted by sections.
Whereas at a conference of
colored. people in the city of
Houston on the Ist of July there
were resolutions adopted strong
ly denouncing the white people
of Texas, and expressing a de-
sire to "emigrate" to some 9TH
er state, where their race would
receive more generoustreatment
Whereas there is a general
excitement on the subject of
emigration; agents travelling to
or fro, circulating the most abb
sured reports about Kansas,
which are accepted as facts by
a large number OF negroes, pro-
ducing great excitement and
general dissatisfaction in their
minds.
Whereas we recognize the col
ored people as freemen and
their rights fully to purrue
wealth and happiness in their
own way, and desiring to throw
no impeachment in their way,
but to continue as we have done
in the past to do all i'll our pow
er for their advancement and
elevation.
Res0kr,fd Ist, That we the
people and planters Of Chap
pell Hill and vicincity do hear
tily approve of the emigration
of the colored people, and
pledge ourselves that we will in
all reasonable ways assist them
in their enterprise. The feast
bility of which we have not
been consulted, and of which
we give no opinion.
Res0kped 2d, That we have
rich and fertile country, famed
by the balny breezes from the |
sea, free as. any southern eli
mate from mlasmatic influences, |
which only needs intelligent and |
efficient laborers to develop its |
full resources and make it bios |
som as the rose. A country in |
which the thermometer pre-
serves happy medium; eli |
mate and soil susceptible of |
great diversity of crops.
Res0kaed sd, That we throw
open wide our doors to immi- |
grafton and give a hearty wei
come to all good and honest
people, who come to make their
homes among US, whether from
the north, south, east or west.
ResoiDed 9TH, That a COM
mittee be appointed to consider
the subject Of immigration and
to devise some practical plan to
encourage immigration of good
and bonahde citizens to our
county, and to call a meeting |
of the people whenever their
plans are sufficiently matured
to report.
Resoi0ed 5th, That these pro-
ceedings be sent to the Calves
weston Neaps, and Brennan
BANNER with a request to pub
lish the same.
The chairman appointed
committee of IS in accordance
with the above resolutions.

A HAPPY MAN.-Last Sum-
day morning Mr.. E. J. Frankel,
the popular merchant on the
north side of the square, appear
ed on the streets with his coun-
tenance fairly beaming with
smiles. 1t was a little thing
but not so small either-only a
twelve pound boy.

THE CEMETERY.

The grounds of the new Gem
etary comprise about IS acres
of land, purchased in 1871. The
ground IS divided by two aven-
ucs 90 feet in width. and by four
streets 80 feet in width, into 10
sections. The sections are di-
vidcd into lots and alleys, SO
that each lot abuts upon an av-
cnuc, street or alley. OF the
lots, $50 have been sold; 81 are
reserved for the burial of stran-
gers and rs lots remain unsold.
The ground and improvements
cost about $4,000, which has been
paid from the sale Of lots. The
land has been paid for and a
deed executed. The associa-
ton owes a small debt of about
SI2o, which will be paid out of
the proceeds ofthe first lots sold.
There is now a necessity for
an immediate outlay of a large
sum of money: the cutting ants
are established in several large
beds within and near the Gem
etery and destroy the trees and
shrubbery as fast as they are
planted; the fence is decayed
and is insufficient to protect the
grounds from the inroads of
stock; rank weeds and grass
cover the streets and lots, and
give an air of utter desolation
to the eutire surroundings.
The Cemetery is beautifully
situated and is susceptible of
the very highest improvement.
1t can be made an ornament to
our city-a place to which those
whose loved ones are sleeping
within its bosom, will love to re-
sort.
Heretofore, the large debt in
Cured for the purchase Of the
grounds, &C., has prevented the
expenditure of any money for
the ornamentation or improve
ment of the grounds. The debt
now being paid, the Trustees
have agreed upon a plan of i'm
provement, which will be car
ried out as rapidly as the means
at their disposal will permit
The ants will be destroyed, with
a guaranty that they shall never
again render useless the labor
Of adjoining the graves of our
loved ones. A new, substantial
fence will be erected; the grass
and weeds will be removed, and
our native forest trees will be
planted on the avenues and
streets, SO as to give perman-
ent and substantial shade.
After this is done, the ladies
will be invited 20 take charge of
the sections in which are the
graves of their relatives and
friends, and cooperate in beau
flying the entire grounds
For the purpose Of raising funds
for these needed improvements
an agent of the Association will
canvass the city for the sale of
lots. Undoubtedly every one
who considers himself a perma-
nent citizen Of Brennan will
promptly avail himself of the
opportunity now offered Of Sc
curing a lot for the burial of his
dead. Sooner or later we must
all become tenants of this city
of the dead. Possibly we may
have some choice as to our rest
ing place. At any rate it is
better that we should secure it,
before a sharp necessity COM
pels its selection at time less
convenient than the present.

CoTToN.-Receipts last week
IS bales; total receipts since
September Ist, 1873, $3.50,
leaving 262o bales OF new
crop to come in, in order to
make our receipts 10000 bales.

In some portions Of the county
the crop will be very short,
while in other portions their
will be a full yield. Taking the
county altogether the crop will
not fall very far behind an aver
age.

SERIOUS SHOOTING sCRAPE.

Saturday morning about ten
and a half o'clock the whole
business part of town was
thrown into a feverish state of
excitement by the rapid dis
charge of a pistol on the pub
lie square. The cause of all
this connection was the shoot
ing of Mr.. J. H. Burch, a far
mer living about six miles east
of town in the Morgan settle
mcnt, by Mr.. Jos. Hardin, his
brother-in-law, who lives with
his father, X. E. Hardin, two
miles southeast of the city.
1t appears that Jos. Hardin
was standing in front of the
GRADER building, on the west

some friends, when Burch pass
eh by him scrutinizing him very
closely, but saying nothing. A

CLOSING SESSION.
Yesterday, at the closing session OF this con.
ference, Bethel Church in Baltimore, and the
second Saturday in April, 1850, were fixed as the
place and time for the meeting OF the next
annual conference. Rev. X II. Cain offered
resolutions respecting
THE COLORED EXODUS,
which were unanimously adopted. They set
forth "that the present emigration Of the col
ored people from the south, In consequence of
the wrongs inflicted upon them by the con-
trolling powers OF the southern states, by the
prejudice OF race, by refusing to recognize the
political and material interest OF the colored
citizens, Is the best and most effectual mode of
indicating their manhood. That it Is the right
and duty OF every freeman to maintain his
right at the ballot-box, and to be protected
erDment In all its ramifications; and the refusal
or neglect to do this sewers the bonds which
should unite the citizen to the state, because
protection from wrong and outrage is the high
est duty OF the government. That we hail
with pleasure the uprising OF these people in the
south and their emigration to the great west
That the efforts OF planters and steamboat COM
panies to prevent these people from moving by
refusing to allow them TO pay their passages
and travel to their destination deserves the 1n.
qualified condemnation OF all American citizens
and every lover OF liberty and the maintenance
OF manhood In this free land. That the emf
grants fleeing from oppression and murder II
the south have our hearty Endorsement anC
prayers for their future prosperity and well
being"
THE APPOINTMENTS
were then announced. Rev. j. A. Handy was
named as the presiding elder OF Baltimore dis
