OF election did all in her power TO carry
the precinct where she lived "wet ;"
She halted every voter that passed ner
fathers house, argued the unconstitutIOn-
ality of the law, and gave him a "Eor the
Sale' ticket. The news OF her stand
reached the ears OF the bar-keepers in
Greensboro, and they decided TO present
her with some token OF their appreciation
for her services in behalf of their cause
A handsome purse was raised, and the
other day Mr.. Lowe purchased Of Messrs.
Collins & Pullin. of Athens, a beautiful

Negro who was Making on with
Murdered Man"
Fron, tAe Washington tGa.j 6dsstfs.
On last Friday three gentlemen on horse
back Messrs. j. W. Sanders, " aldo Har-
ris, and Hester Wlngfeld- happened to
meet beyond the Huff resideoce a negro
man who was perfectly wild with excite
ment. He could scarcely command his
tongue to tell the story of the sight he had
seen. The unieigned genuineness OF the
darkey's terror easily excited the three
gentlemen to the highest pitch. This
neAro had met another negro driving a
carriage at Oreakneck speed toward Lin
coin county, and IN the carriage was the
most awful sight the witness had ever
seen. There was a dead white man all
wrapped up in a sheet, but his face was
partly showing, and there were great
spots OF blood on the sheet; besides, when
he met the carriage the driver turned
away out into the woods and would not
meet him in the road.
This was too much 'Or the three gentle
men, who would delight in nothing more
than in bringing so foul fend TO justice,
so, quickly putting spurs into their
horses TANKS they shot down the road
like the charge of the Light Brigade on
the field OF Balaklava, though not in such
good order. The gentleman behind, put
ting whip and spun to his horse, yelled
out: "Ride on, boys, I'll be with you"
On they sped, past Dyson's, past ohu-
| bricks, and turned into the Rehoboth
road about fifty yards apart. The people
at these two houses ran out TO ascertain
what was the matter, but Mr.. sanders.
bringing up the rear, merely shook his
head and whipped on. These people were
left TO the conclusion that Waldo Harris
was trying to beat Hester Wingheld. and
/ Wilkes Sanders was trying TO beat Waldo
in ten mile race.
After a fOur-mile run the negro and car
riage appeared in sight, but they were
moving az lively rate of speed. This
fact would have removed all doubt as to
the villainy about to be run, up with, II
any doubt had existed in the minds OF
these gentlemen WHO were so bent on
bringing a criminal TO Justice. A lively
sight chase then ensued, the negro having
nearly mile tho start. Finally out near
the eight-mile post he was Overtaken; and,
y, my country men, what a hoax
The negro said he was "ies' carryin'
some of Mrs. Watkins thingsdown to her
mothers in Lincoln county, 3ndDwRs in a
big hurry to git thar fore night,1 Among
them were some sheets, red garments aNC
such things.

av0wed purpose ofducking the negro who

a Teacher WIN a war Record.

From tie HatcktnsUiLle tGd.) DisDatch.
The trustees of Cedar Creek Academy,
near Wesley Chapel, twelve miles west ri
Hawkinsville, who recently advertised
in the Dispatch for a teacher for the
present year, have succeeded in securing
the services of Capt. W. J. Irwin, who
has been engaged in the newspaper bust
ness and IN teaching in Georgia, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee for the past twenty
years. We first became acquainted with
Capt. Irwin as a printer several years ago
Capt. Irwin was a faithful follower Of
the Southern flag during the late war
Though under II years OF age at the open-
ing Ofthe conflict, he enlisted in the army
OF the COnfederacy, joining the Twenty
seventh Virginia Infantry. His home
was in GreenYille, Tenn, which was also
the home OF ANDY Johnson, who gave his
influence to the Union cause, and became
Abraham Lincoln in 1864. East Ten
nessee became very much divided
in sentiment In regard to the war. The
county ia which GreenVilie is situated
and from which Capt. Irwin and many
other gallant men went forth, sent TO the
Federal army several companies, and
Capt. Irwin states that there were nine
colonies and Lieutenant colon
els from hiscOunty in the Union
army. After the war it was dangerous
for COnfederates to return TO their Old
homes.
After the battle Of Fort DOnelson young
Irwin was promoted 10 q lieutsnancy,
and assigned to duty with Breckinridge's
Kentucky brigade.
la the battle Of Corinth, in October,
1862, Lieut.. Irwin was wounded and IL
was this wound that rendered him a Grip
pie for life, and forces him today TO use
his crutch. After the healing OF his
wound Lieut.. Irwin was assigned 10 cav
airy service under Gen. John II. Morgan,
and remained in this branch Of service
until the close OF the war, having in the
meantime been advanced 10 the rank
OF captain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The sub-commit-
tee of the House committee 81 appropria-
tons having in charge the Sundry Civil
bill, has completed the measure. It ap-
propriates sl9,OOS. $40, which is s12, 523, OO9
less than the estimates, $685., 600 less than
the appropriation for the current year, and
s2,045,0OO less than the appropriations
made by the bill as reported to the House
at the last session.
Fourteen members of the committee
were present at this mornings meeting.
Another meeting will be held this after
noon, and further progress made in the
preparation Of the Sundry-Civil bill
1t is likely that the Government printing
Office will be without an appropriation for
some time yet, although Public Printer
Benedict has appeared before the CON-
mittee on appropriations and urged action
on an emergency appropriation. Thedelay
is owing to the Secretary of the Treasury
not having transmitted his estimates on
the subject to the committee.

As the visitor approaches the house
the servants, mounted or on foot,
come forth to meet him, and one re-
turns with speed to announce his COM
ing. According to his relative rank,
the host meets him at the foot of the
staircase, at the door or the upper part
of the room. The question of seats is
one requiring the utmost circumspec-
ton in observing the various shades
of rank. If the visitors rank is supe-

invited to occupy a sofa alone,

host sits on chair or on the floor at
