BEFORE JUSTICE NICHOLS.
Sunday Offenders Receive the Just Recompense
Of Their Action.

Geo. Holder. the negro, who was re-
Gently arraigned before Justice Maroon,
charged with obtaining funds under false
pretenses, by claiming to represent the
Macy Lodge of the knights of Gideon,
was tried before Justice Nichols yester-
day and acquitted. The trial excited
great interest among the negroes, and a
large number of them were present. Hold
er was represented by Alex. Stronach,
Esq, and after the evidence was all in,
Justice Nichols decided that there was
not enough evidence to convict and so
dismissed the case, generating Holder
and taxing the costs upon the prosecuting
witnesses. The case was to have been
tried several days ago, but the negro
wanted to go on an excursion to Nor
folk and having some doubts as to his
personal liberty after the trial, asked
the justice to continue the case until
after the return of the excursion, which
request was granted.
At one o'clock the case against Charles
Sledgc for assaulting his wife and moth
CIR -in-law was called. The evidence
showed that Charles was guilty of the
offense charged and was fined $500 and
costs. The fuss was brought about by
the jealousy CT the assaulted wife. On
Monday night they both attended a ne
gro festival. Instead OF doing as we'll
regulated husband should do, latter the
ball was over" Charles escorted a dusky
damsel-not his wife-!home. The wife
naturally objected to this proceeding,
and Charles, intent upon inspiring
his Disseminated spouse with whole
some regard for his privileges and rights,
proceeded to infiict corporal punishment
upon her. Her mother objected to this
somewhat, and Charles grabbed and shook
her, to impress upon her mind that moth
ers- law should be seen and not heard.
Another case had been set for five
o'clock but the defendant failed to show

EATING AND SLEEPING.

Food supplies the substance for repair
ing the wastes of the body, and gives
strength. Sleep affords the opportunity
for these repairs to be made. Both are
necessary to health. If you can't eat and
sleep, take Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
creates good appetite and tones the
digestive organs, and it gives the sweet,
restful sleep of childhood. Be sure to
get Hoods.
