THE FLY.

The FLY.
My pen is broke, my ink is dry.
But with pencil 1 will try
What can do to show respect
That's due that much-abused insect.
Adieu! Good-by
Dear little fly.
We soon shall miss your hum;
But when you go,
We always know
In spring again you'll come.
Your steady buzz
Around us was
To warn us you was there.
Your little bite.
Though small, was quite
Enough to make us swear.
God made the fly,
And that is why
This little song we sing.
Again, good-by,
My gentle fly,
Well meet again next spring.

A PisToL CAsK.-Bill Jackson
colored, was arrested on Sum
day charged with unlawfully
carrying a pistol The case was
tried before Justice McClung
when it was shown that Jackson
had been and was acting as a
deputy sheriff. 1t seems that
he had given bond and had been
acting prior to the election in
November last and was acting
under the belief that he was
still a legal officer. The sheriff
it also appears, recognized him
as deputy although he had
not been re-appointed and had
given no new bond. By advice
of the county attorney, Justice
McClung dismissed the case.
