of the school, during both sessions, was
gratifying and encouraging to both teach
err and pupils. The occasion was the
closing day Of the Jonesboro Graded
Schools second year. The work Of the
cls sses, which included exhibitions of the
studies of the entire course, evidenced
careful training and thorough instruction,
and verified the claim made for the school
that 1t is the best in East Tennessee,
outside of Knoxville. and the equal in
every respect to the Graded Schools Of
that city.

A FIGHT At MARTINS VILE.

An OBicious Colored Policeman Uses His
Revolver with Bad Effect.
A Martinsyille (Va.) telegram to the
Washington Post says: Anticipating
q large crowd Of colored people here at
the Conference Of the African Metho-
dist Church (coloredD which closes to-
day, the town authorities appointed and
placed on duty six negro policemen.
Sunday about l o'clock Pink Carter,
negro, became disorderly and three ne
gro police attempted to arrest him.
Three white men who were standing
by thought the police were too rough
and demonstrated, whereupon one of
the police, John Morgan Hairston,
drew his revolver and fired at one OF the
whites and ran across the public square,
firing as he ran.
Several white men in different direc-
tons began firing on the negro, one ball
taking effect in his foot. He ran into a
negro snack-house, and Mr.. Ed. Putzel
followed close after him. As he en-
tered the door the negro turned and
shot Putzel, the ball taking effect in his
thigh. The negro was captured and
considerably bruised, though not seri-
ously. Putzel's wound is not serious.
The negro is in Jail. The affair has no
sort of political significance, as one OF
the men who demonstrated with the
negro policeman was Republican.
