Tuesday afternoon, at the color
ed school house, in this city, ter
rible affray took place, during the
absence of Prof. PuIler, the Prin-
cipnl, who had escorted friend to
the train, when he should have
been at his school attending 10 his

tho unfortunate affair would not
hive happened had he been at the
school room attending to his duties;
and his neglect is resultant in one
colored boy, Drained and lying at
the point of death, md another in
Jail charged with felony.
AS we understand and are in
formed. Billy Spencer, aged about
13 years, and son of w. FL. T. Spen-
Ger, without apparent provocation,
picked up q heavy poker, which
had crook about three incbes long
W w. anu m0ll W lllS SSul VI hsIu..
Bell, II son of Chas. Bell, and struck
him violent blow over the head
with the crook.end Of the poker,
which crushed through the skull
to the depth of some two inches
penetrating the brain, which oozed
from the wound. The wounded
boy was Immediately conveyed to
his home, where physicians were
called. Last night the attending
physicians had but little hopes of
his recovery; but this morning he
seemed to have rallied little, but
is still in a very dangerous condi-
ton. Spencer was arrested at once
and is now in Jail.
If the Board of Education does
not remove Fuller from charge of
the school at once, for neglect of
duty, it will receive, as it should
do, the just condemnation of the
colored and white people alike.

This remedy is intended espec.
tally for coughs, colds, Group

ceived, giving accounts of its good
works; of the aggrayating and per
sistent coughs It has cured; of Sc
we're colds that have yielded prompt
ly to its soothing effects, and of the

N description That Fits the Daily

A decent paper has strong and
mighty hold upon it's regular sub.
scribers. It enters the home and
forms part of it. It's face is famil-
lar and grows very dear with the
passage of time. If it be but a
half hour late incoming, the house
hold is stirred because of the delay
No other will take it's place. One
may subscribe for dozen or more
yet there is one that is first in the
hearts of the household-one par
ticular favorite to which tho mem
bers go for authority as we'll as the
news of the outside world. So
closely does ii ontwiu, Itself about
the affections that il seems to be
imbued with life and ono speaks of
it as dear and lifelong friend.
1t may mako mistakes now and
then; it may got on the wrong side
of a great public question; or it may
censure whore praise is deserved
But these are forgiven it for the
pleasure it has brought and the
pleasure it is sure to bring again.
Usually the fault, except it be q
glorious one, is overlooked alto
gether, just as ono refuses to see
the faults in one who is tenderly
loved.
There is no getting away from
the home paper, the fuvorite of the
household. Or if from any cause
the paper is stopped, the late sub.
scriber mourns as for friend that
is dead, and will not rest con-
tent until he finds it again.
