to Camp Harris, two and half miles

to visit them, carrying baskets of pro-
visions, and one of the most marniii-
cent basket dinners was spread ever
partaken of in the county, and the
entire assembly had their hearts con

the afternoon. Several sweet and
charming young ladies remained after
the crowd dispersed, who engaged in
the mazes of the dance. with the boys

all the period between the first OF

Mr.. G. G. McGarey, who resides in
the Fouts Shop neighborhood in this
county, received a wound at the bat
tie of Harrisburg, Mississippi, in 1864.
1t was from a large-sized minnie ball,
which entered his shoulder, and could
never be found until last week, when
DIR. w. f. Walker succeeded in ex-
tracing it from his side just below
the ribs. During the nineteen years
that it remained in the body it had
worked its way from the shoulder to
the point of extraction, and the gen
tleman asserts that he has never been
free from the most eXcruciating pain
during all that time except when
asleep, and is now one of the happiest
beings in the world. Mr.. Walburg,
of Columbus, reports similar case.
During the same year, at one of the
battles around Atlanta, he was shot
with a minnie ball which he carried
until last year.

The sharp crack of the festive
pistol was again heard upon our
streets on Saturday night, and the
mission of the deadly bullet was ac-
complished. The weapon was in the
hands of Mr.. George Sasser, who
resides q few miles south of the city,
who fired three shots at colored
boy named Henry Jones, all three
taking effect, resulting in the death
of the freedman in about two hours
afterwards. This affair doubtless
resulted from the pernicious habit OF
carrying concealed weapons, at least
the fatal termination of it would
otherwise have been avoided. There
is a strict law upon the statutes OF
Mississippi providing quite severe
penalties for the carrying Of con
cealed weapons and it should be
rigidly enforced.

at Camp Harris, folded their tents
on Monday morning and returned TO
their several places of business in
the city. This was the first encamp
ment of the company, and although
it was impossible for the entire mem,
bership to be present, it was hugely
enjoyed by many members and
profitable in the way of experience.

morning just prior to breaking camp,
private Robt. Ransom won the
donors, knocking the centre out of a
target four inches wide by seven ana
a half long, range one hundred yards

Quartermaster Sergeant, j. A. Haire,
made equally as good score at
same range,the only difference being
that in his instance the target was
about one and half inches larger in
dimensions. The shoot was partic-
pated in by only six members, and
while only two were successful il
striking the target, several excellent
cline shots were made.
