All Over a Yallar Purp.

Last Wednesday large contingent
of Smithville, negro suburb, were in
attendance on court before Judge
O'Rear. AS result, two of the inter-
ested parties were fined and impris-
oned for carrying concealed weapons,
one was convicted for breach of the
peace, one held to the circuit court on
charge of malicious shooting and
another arrested charged with false
swearing, and all over a "yallar bull
purp," for which one darkey had
agreed to pay another rs cents. When
court adjourned an old darkey called
off an attorney for the defendents into
corner and in a plaintively interested
voice inquired: "See heah, boss did
dat niger git his dorg?"

Further Evidences of the Dawn OF
An Era of Prosperity For
the South.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 26.-Re-
ports received by the Tradesman from
all parts of the South show much &C
tivity in the production of iron, and
in the mining of iron ore and coal .
The demand seems equal to the out
put and no. stocks are accumulating.
The recent advance in the price of pig
iron, which has been we'll maintained,
has encouraged the building of new
plants. A 150-ton iron furnace is to
be built at Pulaski, Va, by the Pulas-
XII Iron Company the Bessemer steel
plant at Bessemer, Ala, is to build at
once, an appropriation of 100000
having been made for that purpose,
and rolling mill at Birmingham,
Ala, is now under way to be COM
pleted within six months. The Eng
lish owners of the Watts steel and
iron plant, at Middlesborough. as re-
ported few dogs ago, have cabled
the manager to put their furnaces in
to blast July Is, and put the steel
works into operation August IL.

JUSTICE TO REV. NASH.
He Was Not Placed Under Peace
Bonds While In Washing
ton.

An article appeared in the Times
recently which did great injustice to
Rev. G.. E. Nash, of this city. 1t
stated that Mr.. Nash, of this city, had
become involved in alteration with a
man in Washington and had been put
under bonds TO keep the peace during
his stay in that city. There was no
alteration and no one interfered and
averted trouble, and Mr.. Nash knew
nothing of the peace bonds or supposed
fuss until he returned Friday from a
trip to New York. Mr.. Nash claims
most emphatically that the whole
thing was done in order to injure his
paper by those who think he has no
right to publish a Baptist paper in
this State.
/. The item came from Washington
aud, as everybody knows, the Times
had no intention to misrepresent Mr.
Nash in the matter, and takes the
greatest pleasure in setting matters
straight.-Louisville Times.

AT THB Church DOOR
Archibald Riley and George Mont
gomery Fill Each Other
With Lead.
Riley Dead and Montgomery Nor
tally Wounded.

Versailles, KY, May 26.-At the
toor of the Presbyterian church al
Troy, in this county, eight miles south
of Versailles, at l o'clock this after
noon, George b. Montgomery and his
brother-in-law, Archibald Riley, had
a fatal duel.
Riley was shot five times, and died
instantly; Montgomery was shot just
above the heart, the ball ranging back
near the spinal column. 1t has not
been extracted. Montgomery will
probably die, the doctors say.
Both men belong to prominent fam
lilies. Montgomery is the son of John
Montgomery. He is twenty-nine
years old. Riley was about thirty
and brother of Samuel Riley, a pro-
minent Lexington horseman, recently
Secretary of the Nicholasville Fair
Association.
The people who witnessed the ira
gedy refuse to talk, and it is impossi-
BILE to get thoroughly accurate ac-
count, The original cause of the
trouble, however, was Riley's being
compelled at the point of a pistol to
marry Montgomery sister, whom he
had seduced, three years ago. Riley

went South Immediately after the
marriage, leaving his wife here, and
had not been seen in Kentucky until a
few weeks ago, when he located at
Nicholasville Last Court-day in
Versailles Riley and Montgomery
came near meeting, both being armed
at the time. 1t is said by some that
Riley had threatened Montgomery's
life.
Today both were at church at Troy,
where Rev. E. o. Guerrant is pastor.
After the services, in passing out of
the church, Riley and Montgomery
met face to face. Some say that Riley
caught Montgomery by the coat and
muttered an oath. Nobody seems to
know who fired the first shot, but in
an instant both had pistols in their
hands and were firing at each other.
The congregation was panic strick-
en-. Women screamed and nobody
seemed to realize what was taking
place fully enough to interfere until
Montgomery had put five bullets into
Riley's body and was himself MORALLY
wounded. .....

gomery's younger brother, also had a

Obituary.

Tribute of love to the bereaved house
hold OF my dear brother, Nicholas Wool.
las, who passed away Jan. 8, 1895.
We know he has gone to the home Of his rest,
Then why should our hearts be sad
We know that we must part. Day after day
We saw the dread destroyer win his way.
The wasted cheek put ON deaths pallid hue,
The thin hand TO thine more weakly c!ung,
Each sweet ''good night" fell fainter from mis-
tongue.
| We knew that we must part.
| No power could save
| His quiet goodness from the grave.
Those eyes 60 dull, though kind. each glance
| they cast
| His lips 60 pale, that gently pressed thy cheek,
His voice, alas, he could but try to speak,
| All told his doom. We feel II at our heart,
The shaft had struck. We knew that We must
And we have parted. Dear brother, thou art
Gone from earth to heaven, weak suffering
| Thy weary spirit breathed itself to sleep
| So peacefully IL seemed sin to weep,
| In those fond watchers who around thee stood
And felt even then that God was good.
Like straws that struggle through the clouds
of night,
Thine eyes moment caught glorious light,
| As IL to thee in that dread hour 'twere given
To know on earth what faith believes in heav.
| en-.
Then like tired breezes did'st thou sink to rest,
Death stole in softness DER thy loving face
And touched each feature with new born
| grace.
| On cheek and brow unearthly beauty lay,
And told that life's poor cares had passed away
