The Morehouse clarion. [volume] (Bastrop, La.) 1874-1904, 1880-08-27

Aaron Morrison, cold, of the
9Th Ward, was in town last Satur-
day, and from him we learned that
on Friday evening last two coloed
men, engaged in working the road
just below Oak Ridge, became en-
gagged in a friendly play. A fight
ensued, one went off, secured a
gun, came back, and shot the
other to death. The murderer fed.
He had forgotten their names.
Aaron furnished us the informa-
ton, also, that another shooting
scrape took place, at a later hour,
same day, on Mr.. Thomas planta-
ton. But, besides learning that a
negro woman was shot in the back
and one eye by her enraged son-in-
law, who secured his relationship
without the consent of his wife's
mother, he knew nothing.

Perhaps no town in the State Of
fers a more favorable opening for a
first class school than Bastrop.
The college here is comfortable and
commodious, and che town and
surrounding country are full of idle
boys who ought to be in school.
What we need is teacher-a good
teacher. A man possessing energy,
ability and go-aheaditiveness could
take hold of the Morehouse Col
lege and build up a paying and an
interesting school in this town. The
people want such a teacher, and if
he will come he will be literally
supported.

stantly building up handsome

The entertainment given by the
ladies last Friday night at the court
house was 4 magnificent affair. A
tremendous crowd of people was in
attendance and spent their money
literally. We understand the sup

dollars, which will be expended
toward the improvement of the
Episcopal Church in Bastrop. The
public debate was a-what-you-
call-it.
