JULIUS MCDONALD, the young
man shot by Jim McDade, a negro
Friday night, was, at dusk, Satur
day, thought to be in a very pre-
carous condition. The ball passed
entirely through his lungs, in q
diagonal direction, entering on the
side and coming out In the back,
near the spinal column. 1t appears
that Julius and the negro had been
on pistol trade for over week,
and when the pistol was discharged
the negro was monkeying with it.
Some of the clerks in Fishers
store, where the shooting occurred,
think it was accidental; others
think not. No complaint has been
filed against McDade.

The COlOred Teachers.

The Colored Teachers Institute
of Washington county met at Pal
estine school house, May %, anC
after some very interesting exer
cises, adopted the following:
Whereas the Summer Norma
belonging to this district is at s
distance practically impossible tc
be reached by the teachers Of
Washington county, and
Whereas the Hon. Lafayette
Kirk, county judge of Washington
county, has slgnified his willing,
ness to remove the barrier by or
ganizing a County Normal in lieu
thereof, if cooperation on the part
of the teachers can be had;
Therefore be it resolved, that,
feeling a deep interest in the moral
and intellectual elevation of our
race, and recognizing the necessity
of raising the educational status of
the county to that level it long
since should have been, we recon-
mend the calling of meeting for
the cooperation of teachers with
Hon. Lafayette Kirk for the pur-
pose above mentioned.
After which the meeting ad-
iourned.
The good people of the neigh
borhood had prepared a sumptu-
GUS repast, which was partaken of,
and the teachers left for their
several homes.

The summer fights have opened
up in splendid shape. On Satur-
day last there was a fight between
two prominent citizens, who ought
to have known better. This was
the advance guard of the fights, as
it were, and on Tuesday they be-
came somewhat general. There
were three fights between some
railroadcrs in town on spree, and
some four or five fights among
negroes, the. first being between n
couple of black ladies, whose
weight was about 200 pounds a
head. The other fights were among
the men. All Of these encounters
occurred on Quitman street. The
officers captured and had i'm
pounded in the Bastile, by 8 o.
clock Tuesday evening, eight or
nine head of negroes, including
the heavy ladies, and two or more
head of rriIroaders.

SO cheap that anybody can own

In former times the ambition of a
young man was to own horse,
saddle and bride; now his ambi-
ton is satisfied If he can own a
pistol. 1t is probably owing to
the scarcity of bear, deor and
