The saying that miss is good u mile, was
well illustrated in the Jefries sandbank, east of
town, on last Tuesday. man had been secoping
out sand several hours and after he had loaded up
and gone off few yards. about ten IONS Of dirt fell
on the spot where he had just been working. 1t is
useless To sly he did not get any more sand there
The proprietor of the bank should heed this warn
ing, and fix the bank there would be no danger,
or else forbid getting sand.

Hon. W. 3. Childers,

1t gives us great satisfaction to
note the rapid promotion of our
former townsman and schoolmate,
W. 3. Childers, esq'r, son of our
Mr.. Jos. 3. Childers, who is now Q
member of the New Mexico legisla-
ture, having been returned by a
constituency that has heretofore
been Overwhelmingly republican, but
which he succeeded in casting into
democratic moulds. A correspon-
dent from Albuquerque says:
The democrats also claim a ma
jority in both branches of the Ter
ritorial Legislature, but the returns
are not sufficiently official to in
sure this beyond some doubt. The
town of Albuquerque cast 2O48
votes, electing the peoples ticket"
of the county by from 1, 200 to l, 300
majority, which was led by the
Hon. W. B. ChiIders, democratic
candidate for the lower house, and
to whom reference was made in my
last communication referring to the
fact that he was a Tennessee boy,
from Pulaski. The friends of Mr..
Childers feel very confident that he
will be chosen speaker Of that body
when it convenes in January next,
from a knowledge of his ability and
peculiar fitness for that position.
The peoples ticket was made up
of the democratic party of the coun-
ty and disaffected republicans who
had grown tired of bossism and
bosses and had determined to make
one desperate effort to free them
selves from both for all time to
come

work had been done in their behalf
by their teacher, Lewis Meredith
He is a conscientious teacher, OF
good scholarship and good charac.
ter. He is polite to everybody, both
white and black. He has made q
reputation for himself, for his eff
cient and yet kind discipline. His
school is situated in a thickly
settled community with quite a
number of families near him, and
he has never allowed his pupils to
become a nuisance to others. His
example and precept are both valu-
able to his people and his appropri-
ate speeches to them show that he
feels an interest in his school and
has proper conceptions of the duties
of a teacher. He is desirable ac-
QUESTION to any community. S.

Smithson-McLemore.

Last Tuesday evening a noble
son of Giles led to Hymen's altar
one of Maury's fairest daughters
At s o'clock, by Rev. T. J. Duncan
Mr.. W. B. Smithson was married to
Miss Sallie r. McLemore, in the
Methodist church at Spring Hill,

n. Smithson, Hume R. Steele, Theo.
Richardson, T. H. May, Atha T.

was beautifully decorated with flow
ers and crowded with witnesses of
the impressive ceremony that made
two fond lovers man and wife

rare charms have captivated a host
of admirers wherever she has ap-
peared in the social circle, and the

pure a prize. They have our best

Not Quite Drowned.

Considerable excitement, especi-
ally among the colored people, was
caused Monday by q report that
reached town to the effect that Geo.
Buchanan, a colored school teacher,
and his wife and child had been
drowned in Weakley's creek. A
number of colored men started at
once to see about them. They were
all found alive, but had made very
narrow escape, having driven into
the noted deep hole in the ford on
the creek between Bohemian and
this place, The child was thrown
out into the water and sunk with a
blanket around it, but the father
leaped from the buggy and rescued
it. After taking it to the bank he
returned and carried his wife out.
The horse by some means got loose
from the buggy and left it in the
creek. How he did So without
breaking any part of the harness is
very strange, but Buchanan tells a
still stranger incident. He says
that the way he found his child after
it had sunk was by hearing its cries
under the water. There was great
rejoicing among his friends after he
reached town.

A Shooting Affair.

Last Sunday night about hal
past seven five pistol shots in rapid
succession caused great alarm OF
East Hill. They were fired by Mr.
Joe Reed at n man in Mr.. Ed j.
Childers' yard For five consecu-
tive nights previous the door bell
had been rung by some unknown
party. He would step boldly upon
the porch, walk to the door, ring
the bell, and upon hearing a noise
in the house would run out of the
yard as quick as possible. Mr..
Childers happened to be away from
home every night of the occurren-
ces, and it seemed that the tres
passer was aware of his absence and
waited for him to leave. Mrs.
Childers was badly frightened upon
several occasions, as any one ell Sc
under the circumstances would
have been. II order to catch the
audacious rascal Mr.. Reed agreed
to stand watch in the house while
Mr.. and Mrs. Childers were at
church Sunday night. They had
hardly heard half the sermon when,
as was expected, the same foot
steps were heard upon the porch.
Mr.. Reed, who was standing at a
window near the door, pushed open
the blinds and presented a double
barrelled shotgun in the face of the
intruder, whom he discovered to be
a big, black negro, and asked what
he wanted there at that time of
night. The negro, without saying
a word, turned and ran. M. Reed
snapped both barrels of the gun at
him, but they refused fire, and the
fellow lodged behind the house. |
But before he had time to scale the |
back fence Mr.. Reed had stepped |
back into the house and cotton q re-
volver and fred at him five
times. The negro hallowed, so |
Lord" but didn't stop and made
good his escape. This was the
third time he had been shot at while
on the premises, and no one is able
to account for his persistency in re
peating his visits or to guess his mo-
tive. He has certainly been very bold
but probably thought that as there
was preaching in town every night
there was no one in the house and
if the ringing of the bell had
brought no response at any time
ne would doubtless have robbed it.
Or if q defenceless person had
opened the door lac might have
lone the same thing. Whatever
we're his felonious designs they have
been thwarted, and he narrowly es-
;aped being killed. No descrip-
ion can be given of him further
han that he is a tall negro and
wore a white hat.
A singular incident of the affair
S that after Mr.. Reed snapped the
,un he sat it doEn in the hall, went
,ut with the pistol, did the shoot
ng and returned to see why the
run didn't fire. He had it in his
land and was re Gaping it, when it
ook a notion to go off and blew
lole through the ceiling nearly
zig enough for the next negro that
zones to crawl through. Imagine ]
uch an aperture in a mans back as
IS those nineteen blue-whistlers
would haye made if the gun had
ired at first and you can appreciate
lis danger. !

The papers are filled with sick
ening accounts of murders and
brons and Standings and poison
ing and burning and robbing, day
after day. 1t seems that this is
about all the kind of news the associ-
ated press dispatchers care to gath
er. 1t is not only sickening to read,
but it demoralizes and tends to low
er our estimate of human virtue.
These details sometimes awaken a
latent develishness in men and
they brood over them and finally
are led irresistably to initiate them,
and the result is another and an
other crime, oAe after another. The
press ought to suppress these things.
As now conducted, the press is an
inestimable curse to the country
and it is aiding and abetting crime.
Don't let your children read these
things.

Rev. j. B. Anderson brought us
the painful intelligence yesterday
that Mrs. Collins, wife of w. L.
Collins, near Diana, this county,
dropped dead last Sunday morning
about IL o'clock. She had a stroke
of paralysis year ago and had
never fully recovered, but was as
well as usual up to the time of her
fsudden death. She had Just been
to the DINING room eating and was
on her return to the house when
she fell just at the door and breathed
only a few times. Mr.. Collins had
gone to church and received the sad
intelligence by messenger a few
minutes after he arrived. She had
anticipated such a sudden death
and was prepared for it, being
member of Mt. Pleasant NJ. Z.
Church, Of which Rev. j. B. Ander-
son is pastor. He had stayed there
the night before and was in the
pulpit when the messenger arrived.
She was buried Tuesday at the Mt.
Pleasant cemetery, with services by
ReYs. J. B. Anderson and W. j.
Brown. Mrs. Collins was a truly
good woman, greatly loved by all,
and her sudden death was a sad
stroke to her husband and children.
They have strong consolation in
knowing that she was prepared to
die and is now being rewarded for
her sufferings.
