cOrdrr'S office. last thursday evening, upor
the occasion Of the marriage of Leonarl
Schneider aud Ella Llhey. II seems that the
man had betrayed the young woman under
promise Of marriage, and was about to leave
for parts unknown, when she procured q
warrant for his arrest, and rather than stand
the results OF the law he agreed to marry
her, and the eremonv was performed by
Esquire Granville Clayton. The best thing
the young man cen now do Is to MAKE amends
by trying to be- u good husband TO his wife.
Many a bad beginning makes u good ending
iIigginsYille Advance Charles Bradford,
n darkey living about five miles south OF here.
WAS shot yesterday morning by JOIN
McCance. He WAS not seriously wounded,
0niy a few fine shot peppering him about the
hips. Bradford had been in the habit of
driving through Mr.. McCance's field with a
wagon and been forbidden TO do so by Mr..
McCance. He said he proposed to 90 where
he pleased aud used threatening language.
Wednesday, Mr.. McCance with u sh0: gun
loaded with line shot, met him as he was
again driving through the field. and ordered
him 10 turn back. lie paid no attention,
when he WAS tired on with the result above
stated. Bradford has the reputation Of being
4 very impudent darkey, and the general
opinion Is that he WAS treated TO the right
kind of IA dose. There was no intention on
the part OF VI. McCance To Kill or even seri-
Ously wound him.
