BLACK HAWK A
A IMP.
The Little Runaway Who Was
Picked Up Yesterday.

A countryman living at Byhalia
entered Chief Davis's Office to day,
holding by the hand the little fellow
spoken Of yesterday, and whom he said
he had picked up on the road abou:
ten miles from the city. The boy
took his seat near the Chief, in n of
the new style curve bottom chairs,
which he evidently thought was a
rocking chair, as he spent the first
five minutes in looking for the rock
ers.
In answer to questions he said his
name was Percy Lee Keen, that be
was seven years old and had no parents
For the last eighteen months he lived
with a negro woman on Marshall
avenue, who mistreated him. He did
not run away, but went out in the
country to see a friend Of his, named
Arthur Shaw.
DO you know what I've got here2''
suddenly interjected the imp, pulling
a tin box from his pocket, which he
ratified in the ears Of the Chief.
Buttons, l reckon"
"No, sir; it's money. See here
and the little boy opened his bank and
counted out eight niekles.
Where did you get them2" asked
the Chief.
"Whistled for EN-"
The young mar who came with the
youugster here explained that the
little fellow had been whistling, sing
ing and preaching ever since he ran
away.
That's SO; 1 amt preached but
once to-day" interrupted Percy
But I've already made enough tc
buy a frst.rate suit Of clothes. Dom
you think SOP"
"Well you might buy a calico suit
the Chief said.
II don't want any Of your ole
calico suits. But, here, I'm tired o
this; l want to go. Going to let m,
20 home with this man and chol
kindling and feed horses and drive nj
COWS for him. I'm ashamed to sta,
with them niggers any longer"
The Chief agreed to allow the coun
tryman to take charge Of the littl
fellow until some enc who had a bette
claim upon him appeared. Th
scamp then wanted to kiss the Chic
good bye, but compromised with
shake Of his hand, and then making
polite bow deity threw a kiss an
departed.

THIRD DISTRICT, SHELBY County,
August l6, 1882.
EDITOR LEDGER--As our people
will soon be called upon to assemble
in convention and choose those who
are to represent us in our State Legis-
lative halls, it may not be amiss for
the country to suggest the suitable
and proper material, and that, too,
without disparaging the claims Of
others worthy ofthe honor. A pretty
thorough canvass Of the sentiment in
this and adjacent districts, convinees
me that none would be moro accepti-
BILE and do more credit to his constitu-
ency than Colonel j. M, Crews would
in the lower House. A fearless, hon
est, upright and conscientious man.
If Colonel Crews will come before the
convention we feel satisfied that he
will receive a unanimous Endorsement,
and ours will be no experiment. We
had him there once, and we know
whereof we speak. W. f. Hammer,
Of Bartlett, will also meet with de-
served recognition should he allow
his name to be used. With such ma
terial as the gentlemen named we can
but be assured of success for the Dem
o~cratic ticket. w. M. COLEMAN.

On the Sd inst. the president nominat-
eel Hon. Geo. w. Friedley, OF Bedford,
| Ind, as register of the land office at Hell
ena, vice +. H. Moe, resigned, and
doubtless the senate has long since con
firmed the nomination. Vhlie there
have been general regrets throughout
the territory On account OF the reslgna-
ton Of MI. Moe, it will be q source OF
satisfaction to know that his successor is
a gentleman enlinently qualified IL
every respect Tor the position.
George w. Friedley is one Of the lead
ing republicans of Indiana state that
is by 10 means barren Of prominent
politicians OF that ordcr-and justly
ranks among the foremost lnelabers Of
the bar of Southern Hoosierdom. He was
educated at the University OF Indiana,
bloomington, where he tools both q lit
erary and law course, and iof the past
decade has been q prominent figure IL
his portion o. the state. He has been d
member hi the legislature several tin9es
and served with distinction Us speaker
Of the house. III 1876 he Was chairman
os the republican state central cont
nittee, y position o. the greatest Te@pon-
sioility with Indiana the pivotal state,
and although Blue Jeans Williams
was elected governor and the T!dSn
electors received u majority, it was no
fault OF Mr.. Friedley. He~did yeonlan
service that campaign.

The writer once heard him prosecute 3

we do not remember ever seeing his
