Sam Love DISCHARGED.

Sam Love, a negro who was
arraigned in Judge L. F. Freder-
ick's court at Money last Satur-
day afternoon, on a charge of
shooting at Munroe Leonard, an
other negro of that section of the
county, was discharged, the case
being nolle pressed.
It seems that Munroe Leonard
had threatened the life of Sam
Love, and that the two had met
at a mouth lane" with shot guns.
The only eye witness states that
both guns were fired at about the
same time, but that he saw the
defendant step behind a tree
after a conversation with Leon
ard. Three other reliable negroes
stated that threats had been made
by Leonard against the defend
ant, and had been communicated,
and that Leonard bore the repu-
tation of being a bad negro.
Judge Frederick dismissed the
case upon the suggestion of the
County after a thorough
examination of both the State
and defense's witnesses.

SOMETHING ELSE GREENWOOD NEEDS.

Every once and a while we wake up and say something anent the
numbering of our houses and the placing of new signs on all of our
avenues.
It's getting worse all the time that it is being neglected. It has
been several years since the houses were numbered and signs placed on
all the streets. Greenwood has not stood still, but has at least doubled
in size. The old numbers are about as correct and regular as the figures
Of q dllanidatad adding machine. The old street signs have been torn
of or have worn ont, and give the Appearance CT the morning after"
Lists keep things in pace With tue growth of our city. Almost
every citizen in the town would be willing to pay for the proper number
lug of his residence and business house. The city would not suffer
from the amount expended for the nav street signs, that would make
our streets more attractive.
Delivery service is impaired, and it works inconvenience in many
ways. The City Council should pass IN ordinance, and have it enforced
10 the effect that every house in the city should be remembered and now
signs properly placed n the streets.

diameter Of the cylinder was Increased
from 81 to Il inches. In the winter of
1867 she was practically rebuilt, at cost
of nearly $4,000. But it has always been a
question among river men whether these
later improvements really increased her

Anderson was to decrease the weight of the
boat in every possible way and keep the
hull as near the surface Of the water as
possible. On one occasion, when the pres
