Plenty 10 Eat and Place to Sleep.

CALHOUN, La, April, 1stss, 1883.
Editor Telegraph:
l see in your issue of the lt.h inst. a
clipping from the Arcadia Record in
which the dditor says that Prot. Stubs
has called meeting of the farmers to
meet at Calhoun to see what should
be done with the Experimental Farm.
Healsoigoes on to say that parties visit
ing here will have to bring crackers
aud cheese or do without something to
eat and will have to bring IA spade to
dig themselves a bed.
A visit to the farm at this time
would convince any one beyond a
doubt that Prof. Stubbs knows exactly
what to 90 with the fa:El. lie has
about twenty hands fencing, clearing,
planting and building. Prof. Stubbs
announced there would be meeting
of the farmers called al Calhoun in the
near future for the purpose of orgnniz-
ing farmers club but not TO see what
will be done with the faru,, As the
learned editor says.
We have about everything to eat
village which can be had AS cheap as
any where on the V. S. & Z. Il. Il.
But it might he well enough should
the editor OF the Record visit here to
bring his crackers aud hard tack along
as meals are cash. But he need not
bring spade to dig up his bed rs the
Station is located on Is high hill sur
rounded by Old pine fields and Under
the pine trees are Il quantity of straw.
He can soon rake enough of this to-
getter TO make bed--at least the
hogs in the country make beds that
way. Respectfully,
L. Il. HOLMAN,
Intelligence was received here last
Monday that Mr.. G. G. Williams of
Caldwell had Killed Il notorious!y bad
facts, as near as the TELEGRAPH could
get them, are ass follows: Mr.. VIII
!iams was in Columbia on the day Of
the tragedy and while in conversation
with several gentlemen on the streets
was approached by The negro who,
without provocation, used the most
foul language towards Mr.. Williams.
He was promptly knocked down but
Mr.. Williams was prevented from do
ing him further injury by several gen.
t!emen who interferred and saved the
negro's life. The negro afterwards
went home, fred off his gun, reloaded
it and told his wife that sshe was going
to kill George Williams or get killed. :"
He then started back to Columbia for
the purpose Of wayiaying Mr.. Williams
on his way home but fortunately MIR.
Williams had already gone home and
there learned Of the negroes threats, he
having communicated them to a tenant
or Mr.. Williams place. Mr.. Williams
thereupon took his gun and went in
search Of the negro, uvertakiug him
about five miles from his place on the
road to Columbia. The negro, seeing
him approach, jumped behind II bunch
of small trees, and on being ordered to
surrender replied, "shoot; l can get as
many of you IS you can OF ms" Mr..
Williams then fired, shooting him
through the right arm, disabling it to
such an extent as to render the negro
powerless to use his gun. He endeav-
ored, however, to fire it with his left
| hand, but before he could do SO be was
again SHOT, this time fatally. The
TELEG RAPH regrets the necessity that
compelled Mr.. Williams to Kill the ne
gro, but must congrutu!ate him upon
mis- narrow escape, for had TIC been an
hour later in returning home he would
| have heeu murdered.
