CoLoRED MEN ON THE JURY.-The first jury
in this city having colored men upon it was
that in the Hastings Court last Thursday, COM
posed of seven ca1oTed' ana five waite men.
which tried LIZZIE Henry, colored, charged
with breaking into the store of ]. T. Pritchard.
She plead guilty, and said the incentive to the
crime was the destitute condition of her fami-
ly. and appealed to the mercy of the Court The
penalty imposed was thirty lashes. The color
ed men on this jury were among the most in
telligent of their race in this city, whose names
and occupations are as follows
Fhos. G. Campbell. barber; Aaron shoEeler,
shoemaker: Frank T. Ware, car driver; e. Den
mis- Harris. waiter; Robt. Shelton, laborer
Lewis Brown. boarding house keeper, and Lew
is Brock, labo-er.
We think that colored criminals may expect
more leniency from white than colored juries,
for the reason that the former will be inclined
to show that they are not Influenced by pre-
JUDGE against the coloyed race, and the latter
that they are not partial to their own color in
the administration of Justice,

SUDDEN DEATH OF Mr.. DAVID K. SPorTs.-
On Monday afternoon of last week, Mr.. David
K. SPOTS died suddenly of apoplexy at his res
dderce in Lewisburg, Greenbrier county, w.
Va, in the 71st year of his age. He had been on
the streets in the morning, apparently in his
usual health, and went home to dinner. On
reaching home he told his wife that he was suf-
dering q little with pain in his stomach, He
lay down until dinner was ready, and then
went to the table and partook OF very light
meal, saying that he would not eat much, for
fear of being made worse. He then went back
to his chamber and lay down again. In about
an hour, Mrs. SPOTS, after getting through with
her work, went into the room where he was
lying, and discovered that he was cold in death.
He had been an active and consistent member
of the Methodist church fol- nearly fifty years,
and was greatly beloved and respected by all
who knew him, for the many traits of true
christian character which he possessed.
He was the half-uncle Of Mrs. Geo. W. Fuller
of this city, being the half brother of her father
Mr.. VIM. Spots. of Lewisburg.

are glad to learn that an effort is being made by
our citizens, in conjunction with the old
"Stonewall" Brigade Band, to purchase full
set Of the best and handsomest instruments
that can be made in America. The kind of in
struments proposed will be made of FURNISHED
silver, plated with gold, and most deliberately
ornamented with skillfully engraved and
chaste work.
At meeting of the Band and q few Of their
friends on last Saturday night, at the Band
Hall, initiatory steps were taken to procure ths
necessary funds to purchase the instruments.
The meeting was organized by calling Capt. ].
c. Marquis to the chair, and the appointment
of Prof E. Louis Ide aE secretary. letter
from Mr.. G. 6. Conn, of the celebrated firm of
Conn & Dupont, of Elkhart, Indiana. was read.
proposing to furnish set of thirteen instrq-
ments ofthe kind above mentioned for the sum
of $50. 1t was ascertained that about $500 could
be raised Within the Band organization. On
motion of Prof. A. J.. Turner, the following
committee was appointed to solicit honorary
members to the Band at SIS per annum: DR.. II.
q. Fultz, ]. E. Graham, A. A. Eskridge, Jr., A.
g. Miller, inc. w. Abby, M. F. White, Capt. w.
l.. Bumgardner and Capt A. H. Fultz. On mo-
ton the chairman OF the meeting was addedto
the committee.
We have no doubt that our citizens will re-
spond most heartily to the appeal from this
old and time honored organization, which has
contributed SO much to the pleasure and graft
ficatson of the people of our town and county.
We would like to see them in possession OF the
very best and Epest set of instruments that can
be made.
N.B.-The above committee was organized
at meeting in the Band hall on yesterday af-
ternoon with DR.. FuItz as chairman, end will
proceed at once to canvass the city to secure
Honorary Members, at $500 per annum. There
are great many Of the famous old "Stonewall"
Brigade still living in the city and surrounding
country, many of whom will doubtless take
pleasure in contributing to the perpetuation of
this lone relic of the famous Brigade of the lost
