A SHOOTING AFFRAY.

A most shocking tragedy oc
Cured Tuesday about one mile
and a half from Reams' station
in Dinwiddie county, Virginia,
which resulted in the killing OF
one man, the mortal woundlng
of another and perhaps fatal
wounding Of a third.
The parties to the affair were
two brothers named John Per
kins and Fred Perkins, and
Plunmer Ramey.
1t is said that Ramey had
made some remark derOgatory to
the character of Miss Perkins, q
sister of the two Perkins boys.
The two brothers went to see
Raney i'll regard to the matter
and demanded Of him Il retrac-
ton. Some words followed, and
then all the parties drew pistols
and began firing.
Jolln Perkins was shot and
killed, and his brother Fred Per
kins perhaps fatally wounded.
Raney was shot in the heao
and the doctor who attended HIN
saws he will die.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There is no such thing in this
life as complete satisfaction. If
a man has no money he is al
ways wanting it and is therefore
miserable and if he has plenty
of money he still wants more
and does not know how to invest
what he has got, fearing to risk
much for fear he will lose all.
There is no business that pays
all the time, not even stealing,
for you are liable to be caught
up with and thrust into prison.
Better try to earn All honest liv-
ing than to gain something by
speculation, which eventually
br ngs Oh ruin and misery.

ing by a mob of thirty or forty
masked men and hanged near

death without saying whether he
was guilty or not of the horrible
crime, his only utterances being
cries of "mu1der' as he was car

of men from the Jail.
