latter place when the civil war began.
Throughout the war he was a gallant
Confederate soldier, having had thrilling
experiences, especially in northern
prisons. In 1866 he began the practice
of law as a member of the firm of York

and integrity rose rapidly to the front

elected in November, 1880, to represent
the Ninth Virginia district. He was
one of the FIVE members of the legislature

which swept over the State like tidal
wave in 1878, and created a political
revolution. He is survived by his wife
and by his only child, SAMUEL V. Fulker-
son, of Bristol He was an enthusiastic
member of the United Confederate

ANOTHER federal officer in Alabama
is likely to lose his head on account of
participation in the oily white effort
to eliminate the negro from the republi-
can politics of theisouthern States. He
is Warren w. Reese, the District at
torney, stationed at Montgomery. The
bishops of all the colored churches in
the country have united in a request adj
dressed to the President for his removal
and the request is to be granted. The
case against Reese is as plain as
against any of the other men who have
been removed from Office for no other
reason than that they thought it was
the wish of the Presidents political
managers that the negro be excluded
from participation in republican con-
ventions in those States, in which the
laws made it impossible to participate in
the government of the State. But the
President and his political managers are
given to sudden and radical changes of
mind and policy concerning southern
appointments and it is difficult to please
them or to ascertain just what they
want southern republicans to do. Ala
bama republicans, however, have given
no indication of yielding in their pur-
pose to transform and recognize their
party on a Oily white" basis and even
the removal of a number of prominent
officials in their State has had no effect
upon them. This, it is said, is response
BILE for the Presidents reported deter
mination to remove other officials.

Man is two legged animal that
chews tobacco and walks on the
forked end.
Most men are born. We never
heard of but one man who WASH t
and he was made out of mud
just for sample. Man is found
in most parts of the world. He
troams at will, feeds in the day
and sleeps in the night-some
nights.
He is very tame. You can go
up to him and put your hands on
him anywhere SO that you don t
put it on his pecket-book; he has
under such conditions been known
to kick. Mans life is full OF dis
appointments, patent medicines
and corn cob pipes.
He goeth forth like u lion in the
morning end leaves the wood for
his wife to chop. In the evening
sneaks home with his pants rip
ped and raises Cain about "hard
times"
Like an elephant he has o
trunk, but he don't always take
it with him-the elephant does.
Men are like nails in one re-
spect; in nine cases out, of ten
where either of them are crooked
they may have been driven to it
by a woman.
Men are like chickens-they al
ways want to get on the highest
roost.
No man Will swear before q lady,
he always lets them swear first.
Little things sometimes worry
a man most--twins for instance.
Man may enjoy taking his sweet
heart on his knee, but after mar
riage he don't like 10 be sat upon.
Man flourishes like a ragweed
today and tomorrow the under
taker has him seated away in his
ice box.
Now as to what man is really
good for, antropology is still i'll
the dark. Being strong, he is used
to draw pictures, carry news and
pull revolvers. Properly trained
man. can jump higher than any
other animal, and has been known
to jump mountain resort board
bills.
Although in many ways man is
like other animals, in this respect
he differs from all. He lies while
standing up.-Cincinatti Enquir-

The memory of Capt. Kidd is
kept green IN Ouachita. The Ia
test news comes in the shape
of a story of 'sPiracy On The
Ouachita."
+ Monroe, Feb. s. A remark
able story of river piracy comes
from the Ouachita or rather from
Bayou D'Arbonne, about twenty
miles above this city. When the
steamer l.. knight, on her way
to Farmerville, struck a snag last
Saturday at Lake Washington cut
it was found that the boat could
not be kept afoat and she was at
once run ashore, The work of saw
ing as much as possible Of the
cargo was begun and the merchan-
disc was piled on the bank. This
consisted of -four, corn, sugar,
meat, salt, molasses and shoes
and other things in small quanti-
ties, all consigned to two mer-
chants at Farmersyille. Capt.
knight. left the stuff in charge of
three negroes belonging to the
crew and returning to Monroe for
the purpose of getting a barge
and removing the merchandise to
Farmersville. The news quickly
spread among the people in the
surrounding country and a num-
Der of men were soon at the scene.
When the Captain had departed
the negroes were approached and
offered small sum Of money Cor
the merchandise, but this they
refused. Then the pirates chased
them away. 1t was not long be-
fore number of wagons appeared
and all the stuff except fifty sacks
af salt and one barrel of molasses
was carried off. When Capt.
Knightreturned from Monroe he
found the negroes, who were badly
frightened, but no merchandise ex-
cept the salt and molasses. This
he loaded and carried to Farmer
vile.
