When l reached Macon l arranged
for a call on the Colonel. l bought a
pint flask al drug store, and told
the clerk to fill it with something good

him what it was, but a sniff or two
convinced me that sweet oil and tar
formed the greater portion. With
this bottle in my pocket I en- tered the
Colonies office and told him who /

"Yes, sir. glad to see you-sit
down" he replied. and as soon as he
had sealed his letters he turned and
began:

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Willie Hughes Claims to Have
Been Shot Yesterday by an
Unknown Colored Man.

Willie Hughes, boy about fourteen
years of age, employed at McClellan's book
store and residing with his parents at the
corner of Eleventh and Ohio streets, says
that yesterday afternoon, while he was re-
turning from the north part of the city, in
company with several other boys. and when
near the Franklin school house, he was
shot in the Aeshy part of the leg by col
Ored man, to him unknown.
Young Hughes said he did not see the
man, but that his companions did and that
he was i'm a short distance of them when he
fired the shot The wound inflicted is o aiy
flesh wound, the ball lodging unoer the
skin and ranging downwards. Hughes
says he cut the ball out with his pocket
knife and that it was from 22-calibre re-
volver.
The story seems almost incredible, but
the young man vOuches for the truth of it.

The situation doesn't admit of q

be the immediate signal for shot.

the stern command that signifies sur

ever knew he encountered in an at

THE LIGHT OF HOPE.


The course of the weariest river
Ends in the great gray sea;
The acorn forever AMI ever,
Strives upHari to the tree,
The rainbow, the SKY adorning,
Shines promise through the storm;
The glimmer OF coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form.
By time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be,
And peace viii at last be given,
Dear, both TO you and me.
Then, though the path be dreary,
Look onward to the goal
Though the heart aud the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul;
Seek the right. though the wrong be tempting 6
Speak the truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gem is lost
Let strong hand and keen eve be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
Though earnest and fancy steady
Bear blest unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining.
But with evening comes the light;
Though the low winds are complaining,
Yetthe sunshine guilds the height
And love has its hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure;
And time gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the Word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For We know that when we awaken
We shall be satisfied.

19 AlIgton sLreet. Boston. Magg,

We will answer these questions in the
order in which they are propounded: Hon.
James F. Trotter died in this city on the
9th of March, 1866. He never resided in
the city Of Jackson, at least, permanently
but he was in Jackson a great deal upon
official business. He was born in Bruins
wick county, Virginia, on the Sth of No
vember, 1902.
Having answered these questions, We viii
state that Hon. J. F. Trotter was one of the
most popular and eminent men of his day
in the State. He was a man of ability as
lawyer, Judge and q statesman; and above
all this, was a man of dauntless courage and
spotless reputation. He is reYerently re-
membered as the soul of honor in every re-
lation of life, and to this day all classes Of
citizens delight in praising his character.
He was made one of the judges of the Su-
preme Court of this State in November,
1888. He also served his State in the q.
s. Senate, and the citizens of this, the I'd
judicial district Of the State, as Circuit
Judge, which Office he held at the time Of
his DEATH
The information here given concerning
the date of Senator Trotter's birth, etc, has
been kindly furnished us By his daughter,
Mrs. Logan Walker. The information con-
cernimg the Senator's character as a man
and citizen has been furnished US by large
number of our most prominent citizens,
whom we have heard speak Of him at differ
ent times and places, and always in the high
est terms of praise

he better himself BY emigrating. The
question is answered BY asking another:
How can he or could he emigrate /? To
scrape together means sufficient-even
the bare passage-money for CARRYING
himself and belongings across the At
lantic-would call for the boarding Of
years, almost lifetime. 1t is task
that would daunt the courage and try
the strength of a Hercules; indeed, it
is well-nigh an impossihility. As we'll
might the sailor attempt to escape from
q sinking ship, with no boat to bear him
away, as the English farm laborer from
his country; for, if not actually adscrip-
tus glebe, he is ad seriptus patria and,
