IN MEMORIAM.

It becomes our sad duty this gloomy
afternoon to write few lines in MEM
DRY of our departed friend, Mrs s. b.
Nichols. Though l realize my incom-
potency to write an article for the eve
OF the public, yet feel that | would not
be doing my duty toward the husband,
who has been so kind to me, not to ex-
press my appreciation of her untiring
blindness to me. l have been in their
house for the past two years, and | feel
that | owe to the sacred memory of her
whom we laid to rest under the sod to-
day, these few lines. Haying been asso-
ciated with them, and knowing their
daily walk as / do, can say that never
was pair more devoted to each other
than Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols. and neither
of them ever seemed to forget to be kind
to me; especially when | was taken so
suddenly i'll some days ago, they watched
so patiently until 1 was better; after
which both of them were taken verv
i'll, her illness resulting in her death last
Saturday night, Feb 18th, at 10 o'clock.
We feel that we will miss her tender
touch ana her pleasant and CHEEKY voice,
and we can never forget her care when
we were so sick at her house. We felt
to-day, as we drove away from the beau
| tiful mound, that we had indeed buried
a dear friend; one that was ever ready
to soothe our pain or offer consoling
thought, and sympathize if we needed
a word of cheer. None but those who
knew her will ever know just what a
Christian life she lived. We know that
the grave hides from the bereaved hus-
band all that life held most dear, and
that there will be dark hours for him
now; but we would point him to the
only Comforter-the One whom she
trusted amid all trials, and Who alone
can pour into his wounded heart the
healing balm; and as he journeys
| through life, a lone wanderer, feeling
that life without his dear companion is
! indeed cherries, we would say, "Look
! beyond, where there is a sunny cline,
and where You can meet the one you
loved so dearly and lost so soon.'
In sympathy, EDWIN

THEY GOT
THEIR GUNS.
Two Negroes IN West End Fight a
Duel,
And One Comes Out of the Fray with
Leaden Slug in His Head.

George Young and Jim Davis, two me-
groes who live on DR.. Harrison's place
in West End, fought a duel Tuesday
afternoon about o'clock, and the lat
ter came out of the fray with a leaden
slug in his head
A pond on Young's place and horse
belonging to Davis were the cause Of the
trouble. Davis had been watering his
horse at Young's pond; Young told
Davis that he must not allow his ami
NAL to drink any more Of his water, and
Davis failing to comply with the orders,
n quarrel ensued. Tuesday afternoon
they agreed that it would be best to de-
eide the matter in mortal combat, and
they went and armed themselves ac-
cordingly, Davis securing double
barreled shotgun and Young musket
loaded with leaden slugs.
Returning to the scene of their quar-
rel, they opened fire upon each other.
Davis was first to pull trigger, and let
fly the contents of both barrels of his
gun. Neither Of the shots took effect,
however. Young aimed with better
effect, and one of the slugs from his
firearm found lodging.pace beneath
Davis left eye. The wound is very
painful one, but it is not thought that
it will prove fatal.
Sheriff Hight and City Marshall Latta
went Immediately to the scene, and on
the way met Young, who gave himself
up to the officers, saying that he shot
Davis in self defense. He was brought
to town and placed in Jail.
