The Marietta (Ga) journal says Mr..
Ira Croft, Of this County, was gallant Con-
federate soldier during the late war, and
during the seven days fight around Rich
mord, Va, in the month of July 1862, he
received severe wound, missile striking
him on the left cheek, just under the eye,
shattcrinS the bones and decorating the flesh
terribly. 1t was not considered possible
for recovery to take place. The doctors
were unable to find the missile, and gave it
as their opinion that it was a piece of shell,
and had passed out. Mr.. Croft did rcover,
however, the wound healed up, leaving an
honorable scar on his cheek, like the one
that scars the cheek of the noble and brave
General John B. Gordon. The war over,
Mr.. Croft returned to the peaceful avoca>
ton of the farm. He has experienced no
pain from the wound during the many years
since it was inflicted A few days ago Mr..
Croit's throat became painfully sore, and he
was almost unable to swallow anything.
His throat was doctored and everything
done to afford relief On Monday ught
last Mr.. Croft felt something in his throat
which he tried to eject, and in one Of his
efforts he spit up an ounce minnie ball, owl

The Holmes County Drama.
Hinls County Gazette.


A melancholy and sad picture is
drawn from the recent killing In
Holmes county. j. f.. Ashcraft and
J. II. Lockhart, are reported to have
belonged TO the same church, to the
same Masonic Lodge, to the same
knights of Pythias Lodge, to the
same knights of Honor Lodge, and
on the second of November, notwith-
standing this quartette of the stron-
est ties that could under any circum-
stances, bind man to man, and heart
to heart, died at each others hands.
The picture thus presented is a sad
one to behold, and calculated to pro-
duce very materially the assumed
value of brotherly relations-to make
men believe that "passion " is too
often allowed to control him whom we
are taught to believe was created after
Gods own image.
But there is another view in the
dark panorama, that when shifted
before our gaze, makes deeper and
more lasting impression.
One week ago, Mrs. Ashcraft, the
aged mother of the deceased, J. +.
Ashcraft, bowed down by grief, and,
like Rachael of old, refused TO be COM
forted, passed away-a victim TO sor-
row. In her son she centered all her
hopes for him she looked to bril-
liant future in his death her sole am
bition, love and aim, ended, and,
with his last kiss of filial affection still
warm upon her lips, she passed to her
home above.
About the same moment, not many
miles distant, Mrs. Hamilton, sister
of J. II. Lockhart, with a prayer for
the untimely end of him, In whom
her whole soul seemed wrapt up, and
for whose safety and welfare she had
offered to God her warmest and ten
derest devotions, peacefully joined his
spirit beyond this world OF sin and
care.
Four lives were thus ended.
Two the result of hasty action; two
victims of sorrow! Two i'm the hal
cyon period of youth two In the
wintry days of age! Two In the
bright sunlight of happiness two in
the dark cloudy moment OF despair
Oh, God what q picture! what an
picture is this!

Getting 10 OuI of Him.

Last week, young Keepitup was out
with team all one afternoon. When
he drove into the stable, oh, but the
man was mad.
"Look at that hoss, - he walled, "look
at that hoss Amt dry hair on him,
an he's nigh ready to drop. That's Il
pretty lookin' way to bring in hosS.
Nice man, you are, to let a good hoss
to?n
Young Keepitup was fairly aston
ished.
"Man alive" he yelled picturing his
amazement in his voice, land what
did you expect when ! hired him?
When horse is costing me an even 50
an hour he's got to keep moving, you
understand. When Pm paying out
more than eight cents every minute, |
can't afford to let no horse lean up
against feed box while he figures out
the oat crop of the United states for
1881. | did my level best to keep my
whip-arm warm, and then | couldn't
get more than Si.25 an hour out of him.
Now, if you had only charged fifteen
cents an hour ! would have had the
horse fed every thirty minutes while |
was out, and | would have rocked him
to sleep in my arms, wrapped him up
in blankets, and hauled him back to
the stable myself That is the differ
encc, you see, Mr.. Silkcracker."
And he went away while Mr.. Silk
cracker stood looking alternately at
the money and the horse, thinking it
all over.

a witty ParsOn.

A Scotch clergyman by the name
of Watty Morrison was man of the
most irrepressible humor. On one oc-
casion a young officer scoffed at the
idea that IL required so much time
and study to write sermon as minis
ters pretend, and offered bet that he
would preach half an hour on any
passage i'm the Old Testament without
the slightest preparation. Mr.. Nor
rison took the bet and he gave for a
text, And the ass opened his mouth
and he spake. " The parson won the
wager, the officer being rather disin-
clined to employ his eloquence upon
that toxt.
On another occasion Mr.. Morrison
entreated an officer to pardon poor
soldier for some ofiense he had conf
mitted. The officer agreed to DO so IL
he would in turn grant him the first
favor he should ask.
Mr.. Morrison agreed TO this. In
day or two the officer demanded that
the ceremony Of baptism should be
performed on a puppy. The clergy
man rgreed to it; and party of
many gentlemen assembled to wit
ness the novel baptism.
Mr.. Morrison desired the officer to
hold up the puppy, as was customary
in the baptism of children, and said
AS am minister of the Church
of Scotland, 1 must proceed according
to the ceremonies of the church"
Certainly" said the Major; Il
expect all the ceremony"
Well, then, Major; begin by the
usual question. you Acknowledge
yourself the father of this puppyp
A roar of lauhgter burst from the
crowd the officer threw the candi-
date for baptism away, and thus the
witty minister turned the laugh
against the infidel, who intended to
deride the sacred ordinance.

Acqulttal of Col. Holman.

The Vicksburg Commercial of the
25th has the following:
The trial of Col. d. Holman, indict-
ed for the murder Of DIR. w. l.. Lowry,
near Johnsonville, in Sunfiower
county, two years ago, was commence
ed i'm the circuit court of Washington
county, at Greenville, last Tuesday,
and after long and laborious trial,
which engaged the attention of some
of the best legal minds of the State,
was brought to a conclusion last even
ing by the jury returning verdict Of
mot guilty. "
We are not in possession of the par
ticulars of this long and interesting
trial, but the Greenville Times of
Saturday has the following notice of
the argument Of General Edward G.
Walthall, one of the distinguished
counsel engaged in the defence of the
prisoner. The Times says:
The argument began yesterday
evening; the district attorney leading
off. Gen. Walthall then followed.
We will not pretend to indicate the
ability of his effort. The court house
was crowdsd, as we never saw 1t
crowded before, large number of
ladies being in attendance. And for
two hours and half all were held
absolutely motionless. There was not
the slightest resort to claptrap. Moth
ing studied. No direction to effect.
But In mastery, graphic grouping
of points, in language concise, point
ed and trimmed to perfection, the
effort rose to great speech. A very
epitome of the science OF criminal law.
The orators Interpretation OF the jury
system, of its organism, functions and
the high duties devolved upon it, was
eloquent and the chief gem Of the
jewel. He closed by thanking the
jury for their courteous and close atten-
ton ito me stranger, pleading
strangers cause,n i'm spontaneous
and universal burst of applause.
We learn that Gen. Walthall will
reach home to-day. We, in common
with the people of Grenada generally,
feel just pride i'm our distinguished
fellow-citizen, who, on all occasions
where honor and ability are in de-
mand, ever rises to the full measure |
Of man of true greatness, and faith |
fully serves every cause he takes In |
New South.

LAMAR AND HIS AsSAILANTS.

TO the structures of II portion of the
Mississippi press, the Vicksburg Com
mercal responds in these dignified
| terms:
Our respected cotemporaries have
each fallen into the error Of accepting
brief telegraphic synopsis of what
Col. Lamar said on the occasion re-
ferred to, for the speech ITSELF but if
they will read his speech taken from
the Congressional Record, and pub
ilshed in the Commercial last evening,
they will find that the language used
by Col. Lamar, will hardly Justify
their criticism. This writer is no
"hero worshipper', and no man
better understands that fact than the
gentleman whose public action is
under discussion, but we can and do
admire a public man who has the
courage to stand 10y his convictions of
public duty. This has been done by
Lamar on more than one occasion, and
with the exception of his vote against
the remonitization of silver which
we never approved, we believe he has
correctly voted public sentiment in
Mississippi, in his official acts and
utterances, and in no instance was he
ever more fully in accord with the
sentiment OF the people than in his
vote against re-opening the Louisiana
contested case, and i'll that favoring
the retirement of Gen. Grant. This,
at least, is our deliberate judgment
with as ample means of reaching cor
rect conclusions ~ are possessed by
our contemporaries.
In these days Of demagogery and
pandering to every whifof local .preju
dice, il is IA relief to have a statesman
who can look at measurers without
having his vision bedmmed by the
film of chronic false ideas.
