A Young Lady Of Robertson
County Murdered by a Re-

Cor. Nashville Americana
SPRINGFIELD, July 24.-News of a
horrible shooting affair, which oc-
CURED near HOlmansville, in this
county, last Wednesday evening,
reached us yesterday evening. The
particulars, as far as | can learn, are
as follows; Miss Holt was engaged to
be married next Tuesday night. On
Wednesday evening a man named
Ramsey, a rejected sutton Of Miss
Holt, armed with a shotgun, and ac-
%companied by a friend, called
at the residence of the young
lady. Ramsey stood in the yard
while his friend knocked at the
front door, and was met and invited
into the house by the young lady in
person. Ramsey's friend (whose
name | could not learn) insisted on
seeing her on the porch, saying it was
much more pleasant there than in the
house. She c%onsenting, came out,
when Ramsey, without a word of
warning. raised his gun and fred at
her, the shot taking effect in the
shoulder, inficting a wound from
which the physicians say she cannot
recover. Ramsey Immediately left
and had not been arrested at last ac-.
counts. A party of eight or ten
started after bin Thursday morning,
but it is feared he has escaped. Ram
sey's friend claims to have known
nothing of his intention. He says he
met Ramsey in the road and was
asked to accompany him there and he
did so. | trust his statement is true
for Robertson county would not own
two Williams who would perpetrate so
cowardly an action. Ramsey told the
young lady last February that if she
ever married or attempted to marry
any other man he would kill her.

SHOT IN THE NECK.
A Wife Beaten Perforated thus
for whipping his Better Half

For the systematic practice of cuff
ing his wife, a colored man named
Freeman, now lies fiat on his back with
a shot through his neck, at his cabin,
No. l5S st. Martin street, south
Memphis. The bullet, fired by the
crute female, who had been driven to
desperation struck Freeman under the
right ear and bored its way entirely
through, passing out under the left
chin. The wound is a painful, and to
some extent, a serious one, but Free
man is not likely to die from its effects.
The wounded man is said to have
INDUCED in the refreshing pastime Of
thrashing his wife at irregular inter-
walls throughout the past week. He
slapped her yiciously twice on yester-
day, and aboutfve o'clock in the even
ing, stung to madness, and unable
to longer hold back from retaliatory
action, Mrs. Freeman opened her re-
v%olving artillery, and the first shot
was we'll aimed. She came outside,
and fred a second time through the
window, and made a miss. Freeman
attempted to leave the house by the
front door. but the woman checked
his movement by threatening to shoot
him dead in his tracks if he crossed
the threshold.
A crowd quickly gathered near
the place, and shortly after
ward Mrs. Freeman left the
field saying she would go and surren-
der to the police. She evidently
changed her mind, as nothing had
been heard of her at police head
quarters up to noon to-day.
Alter her retreat, Freeman, with
the air-hole through his neck, strolIed
outside and walked about among the
crowd. To all appearances he was
not very badly hart. This forenoon,
however, his condition was less easy,
and he was confined to his couch,
though his case is not alarming. If
he RECEIVERS, the result of his fracas
may prove a salutary lesson. Some
wives will not stand whipping as a
regular diet, and Freeman's spirited
spouse is evidently one of that class.

A New Book by a Memphis Lady.

A New Book by a Memphis Lady.
The Mystery of Allanwold," by
Mrs, E. Van Loon, has been received
from R.. NJ. Mansford. Published by
Peterson g. Co. Price, 81 so.
1t is Mrs. Van Looms latest and
best effort, and cannot iail to give
satisfaction and thrilling interest to
the novel-reading public.
The execution and style is good
occasionally rising to a resemblance
of Mrs. Southworth. The plot is bold
and powerfully laid, depicting some Of
natures most depraved and most vii
famous shades. How a scheming and
unprincipled stepmother brought grief
and misery to a once happy home,
causing the old mar whom she had
married for money to drive his two
children penniless into the world. to
accomplish her thirst for money for
herself and wicked brother. One
mystery after another unveils itself.
and the writer redresses wrong and
removes evil by letting justice fall on
the guilty and a crown of happiness
reward the good and patient after lons
struggles Of suffering.
by locating her story in our south
ern states she finds opportunity to
show her familiarity with our leading
cities, of which she makes incidental
use to highten the interest of the
story.
Perhaps the only fault We find is a
DEPRESSION a time or so, when we arc
lost head and ears" by calling up or
referring to some past personal expert
ence Of her own.
1t is, however, a most interesting
and readable book, and will advance
Mrs. Looms success in the literary
world.
Mrs. Freeman was subsequently ar
rested by the police, out near Looney's
Switch, and she is now at the station
house.

The first Boil

The first open boil of cotton arrived
this morning, taken from John T.
La Prade's cotton field, near Star
landing, Miss, some thirty miles be-
low on the river, and sent by him to
O. P. Hunt & Co.. his merchant in
this city. This is the first Of the sea-
son, and Mr.. La Prade expects to have
all hands picking four weeks
hence. The cotton maturing
season is considered about ten
days ahead of an average this year,
and within a few days Of year before
last, when it was two weeks ahead OF
an average. The first boil Of cotton
OF year before last came from Concor-
dia, Miss, $50 miles south, on the
END Of July, and the first from
Shelby county on the 18th Of July,
from Presidents island. The one
brought to-day is close after the
Presidents island boil, but matured
nearly half a degree south Of its pre-
decessor. No accounts of last years
first boil have been kept.

The Friar's Point Gazette, con.
trolled by a republican, is Of the
opinion that General Chalmers has a
walk over before him in this district.
Referring to the nomination Of John
r. Lynch the Gazette says:
Lynch is the weakest man in the
republican party, in this district, and
by nominating him the republicans
have simply endorsed General Chal-
mers--one whom they have been
damning for the last two years. If that
convention had acted wisely it would
have commanded the respect of the
party. To Judge j. Il. Jeffords, Of
Issaquena county, Judge G. w. Clarke,
OF WASHINGTON county. or Colonel
Thomas W. Hunt, our United States
marshal, we could have given a hearty
support, but as it is, we will take no
stock in it. We have no doubt that
General Chalmers received the demo.
cratic nomination at Natchez, yester-
day, and the nomination is as good as
his election, with the present oppos-
ton.
