4 free fight was narrowly ayerted
on Bridge street, on Friday afternoon
last. white boy and colored boy
had an alteration, and the white boy
began throwing stones, when landlord
Ennis interfered and stopped it. A
stranger evidently southerner and
naturally prejudiced against the color
ed boy undertook to prevent Mr.. Ennis
from interfering, and it looked for a
while as il. the militia would have to
be called ont to quiet things down

stranger was mad all through, and yet

Unless it is backed up by the
business men, the effort of any news
paper TO build up town is practically
nullified. A stranger reading the
news columns of paper turns to its
advertising pages, and if he fails to
| find there the business cards of mer-
chants, he CONES to the conclusion
that the paper is not appreciated and
the town is a good place for him to
keep away from. No town ever grew
without the assistance Of its newspa
pers. No paper can grow and build up
its locality without the assistance of
the town. Business men as well as
the City Fathers should realize this
remember that in giving a cordial
aud support to the newspaper in
every Legitimate way, they are build
ing mp their own business. FIX.
