Singular Deaths.
Meridian News.

While the colored folks were holding a
very exciting revival meeting at a church
about four miles from Newton, on last Sun
day night, young woman became some
what excited and fell over backwards.
striking her head on the seat which was
back of her and breaking her neck, causing
instant death. Her funernal took place
Tuesday, and was attended by large crowd
of negroes. On the return of the people
from the grave yard, an old man who had
attended : the burial, started home and
while going from the Newton depot, up
towards the hotel, became as is supposed,
very excited and giving short yell, fell
dead upon the ground. Both negroes were
considered worthy people, and the incident
occasioned much comment.
1t seems after all, that with fair count
the regular Bourbon Democrats were beaten
in Yazoo county, as We learn from the
Vicksbulg Herald. In silver Greek pre-
cinct there was y majority of about 600 for
the Independents, but as the ballot box re-
turned to Yazoo City itleontained taco pens
and an ink stand. In several other precincts
in the county, a "fearful race issue" was
prevented by the Triggers" not voting

How does the Vicksburg Herald know the
majority at Silver Greek, or about what it
was? 1t is such miserable statements sent

damage the south Without just cause.-Port
