to Martin and stabbed him in the left
side. The cash was a very deep ana
ugly one. yet, with his intestines pro-

Of Arkansas are in continual hubbub

the negroes of an entire community
were peremptorily ordered to leave and
not to stand on the order OF their going.
Following this comes the announcement
that the negroes of Monroe county are
preparing to leave in body, their OBJ
jectvc point being colony in Liberia,

to come and go at will, il they are able,
as other people. but the consensus of
opinion is that they will make mistake
as affecting their own best interests, in
leaving the land of their nativity for an

no doubt realize that it were better to
bear the ills they have than fly to those
they know not of.
