A couple Of our towns darkies got into
a "fisty cuff which it is said lasted SO
long that one got hungry and bit the
others ear off. There's no telling how
much that niger loves meat was the
remark Of bystander.
A colored man, VIM. Warner by
name, who resided on Mr.. Henry Las
trapes' plantation, was drowned on
Sunday night last while sndeavoring to
reach that place. He is said to have
been intoxicated when he left town late
that evening.
Two or more excursions proposed
to be gotten up by leading colored men
here and Of the lower parishes failed
to put in an appearance at the appoint
ed time. Something strange, as the
c0lored people are generally very sue
cessfnl in such undertakings. They
must have failed to pay their advertising
bills, and the Lord didn't prosper them.

Some few Of our business men make
the assertion that the local papers of
country towns fail to notice free grati'
matters of public Importance which
city papers always insert. That is very
easily explained. City papers are SC
well patronized at home that they cal
well afford to sometimes put in thing
