have elSed out an existence with some

that you uns have stole we'uns' heart,
but it will be sadder if you'uns don't
bring in your bill before we'uns part.
And to our debtors: Expect the ven

as ourselves to continue this desperate

An Abusive Negro Shot and Fatally
Wounded.

Gainesville, Fla, Jan. 12.-Mayor
Burnett caused the arrest of Mr.. Herbert,
the water works contractor, for obstruct-
ing Factory street. This street has been
practically abandoned for years, and
many think, in fact, a large majority of
our people do, that the mayors act was
not prompted by his patriotisms
Thomas f. Hampton, aged 10, died here
yesterday. He left five children, one of
whom is Lawyer w. w. Hampton, of this
city. He was born in North Carolina !;
was citizen of Tampa at his death, but
had lived at Bainbridge, Ca, long time,
being at one time clerk of the superior
court.
Sheriff HILLARY went over to Rochelle
yesterday in response to a message from
T. w. Zittrouer to the effect that he had
shot negro. Charles Wiley, the negro,
Zittrouer says, came into his dwelling
house enclosure and began to curse and
abuse him, and then drawing a revolver
snapped it twice in Zittrouer's face. Then
the latter shot him in the breast. The
wound will probably prove fatal.
