an innocent man." and like express
sions. From what we could gather,
DIR. Jones was in Buffers saloon,
drinking, as usual, when Mr. Sandy
Scott, IA quiet, sober, peaceable and
hard working citizen, now in the en-
ploy of the River Improvement
Commission, stepped in the door
way, when DIR. Jones accosted him
with, "Git out of that door, you S
of b-h!" "Who do you mean?"
said Sandy, as he entered the room.
"You," says Jones, repeating the
foul and insulting eplthet, and strik-
ing at him with a club. \ scuiile
ensued, when bystanders interfered,
and parted them. Not wishing to
renew the difficulty, Scott quilted
the house, intending to go home.
On his way out, and near by, he
halted in front of q. w. Thomason's
law office where several gentlemen
were seated, and to whom he was
relating the details of the unpro-
voked assault made upon him by DIR.
Jones, and lad hardly finished the
telling, when DIR. Jones came out of
the saloon, deliberately walked to-
ward him, and as he approached
drew his pistol, examined to see that
it was in order, and when within a
few feet OF him, levelled, resting the
weapon ON his left arm, then fired.
With great GOODNESS, nerve and pres
ence Of mind, Mr.. Scott turned his
side to him, receiving the shot in the
flcshy part of his back, just above
the hlp, grazing the spinal column ::
AS quick as thought, he rushed upon
his adversary and forced him to the
ground, at the same time seizing his
pistol hand, held it IN such position
that when he again fired, the ball
instead of striking his victim, plough
ed furrow in his own cheek. A
crowd by this time had gathered who
again interfered and stopped futher
bloodshed. Jones was arrested and
put under a $1,000 bond. Exam-
nation set for to-day at 10 o'clock.
Scott is IN critical condition.
It's time that full stop be put to
such recklessness. If the officers
wont, then the law abiding citizens
must. Life is too precious. to be
left at the mercy of reckless pistol
toters.

Bang! Bang +!

Two reports rang out upon the
air yesterday morning in rapid sue
cession. "Mad dog!" was the ex-
clamations heard on every hand; but
as the reports were followed by hui
man screams, the conviction soon
prevailed that misdirected shot had
hit some one. Men, women and
children were seen rushing franti-
cally toward one common center-a
position i'm the rear of Buffers Sa-
loon. Rushing up the street to-
word the gathering crowd, with i'm
aynation in full play at the prospect
OF a sensational item, we were horri-
fed to see, while yet at a distance,
DR.. Jones being led toward his home,
the blood streaming down his face.
As we approached nearer the excit-
cd crowd, above the uproar and con.
fusion, was heard, "It's an outrage"

EDITOR TIMEs-Dear Sir: "Thcre
is always a calm after Storm" and
If Mississippi county has not been
blessed with political storm, hurri-
cane and cyclone combined, in our
late election, your correspondent is
sway off," for this surely has been
a campaign of "trickery;" it will
not be long before those who run
for Office will have to be Jay Goulds
or Jim Drivers, or at least, backed
by a stiff bank account, and the
greedy, grasping, crazy patchwork
mania for Office is too beautifully
shown in the county ticket from
Senator to Assessor. AS its over
now, we can all take a rest, and
surely none need it more than ye
editor; so you may stand your Win
chester in the corner, hang your Ma
vies up in your sanctum, quit sleep
ing in the well, turn the office over
to the "devil" pick up your good
lady and take run out on
Chickasawba, where you will find a
hearty welcome from your numerous
friends, and take weeks repose and
recreation.
Our crops here, had it not been
for the long drouth, would have been
the best for five years, although we
have had enough of rain in the last
two weeks to save our latest corn
and to stop our cotton from shedding
its squares; at this date our acreage,
in both corn and cottou is more than
last year, and the prospects for a
good yield much better, should we
have late frost. Mr.. John Rainey
is putting up fine Store and Ware
house in Chickasawba, opposite Mr..
Shows. DIR. Bugg will finish his
residence, which he commenced last
year, fine frame Gothic, aud the
place you once knew as the Cook
farm is climbing up to the dignity
of a first class country village; its
the "Mount Ararat "of this country
when the modern deluge" comes
we have over 500 acres of land high
and dry, above all high waters so far,
and its only a question of time,
when Chickasawba will be the bnsi-
ness center of this end of the coun.
ty. Mr.. Eston Cooke is here from
Louisville, looking after his interest
in this farm, and getting his fine gin
ready for the first cotton, which will
not be long, as our cotton is opening
pretty fast, and the "voice of the
picker viii soon be heard in the
land"
