Sunday three men arrived here
and surrendered to the Sheriff and
were jailed, for having shot and
seriously wounded negro. Mon
day they were released on $500
bail each and went to their homes

Is a very young man. Monday
the negro died and the Sheriff re-
arrested the three men and jailed
them, and the charge of murder is
now pending against them. 1t is
a pretty hard matter to get the
true causes of this murder, but
one version we got is that the men
had gone to negro ball; when
they got there they we're remon-
strated by that negro that they
were not in their place, and had
no business to be at that ball,
words followed when one of the
men is said to have sent for his
gun and short the negro. This
happened Saturday night. the ne
gro died Monday evening. The
result is that a negro is dead, and
three white men are now in the
Jail to answer the serious charge
of murder.

It has been rumored this week
that an attempt was made to So
cure the resignation of one of our
Councilmen, which would have
made three vacancies on the Coun-
Gil, necessitating an election i'm
mediately to fill the vacancies. and
the plan was to try and elect three
members who would favor the low
liquor license. The plan, we are
pleased to say, has failed, none of
the members will lend their assis-
lance to a plan that would prove
so detrimental to the public inter-
est for the benefit of only a few.
Under low license the revenues of
this town from that source were
only $500 while under the high
license they are $6, 700 and $1,000.

There are now two cases of yell

A slight development of the So

About the same time Mrs. Cla-

she has none. Poverty, therefore,
and riches as well, are of them

Happiness must be sought some
