rendered an oyster supper to five
charming young girls of the city.
> The guests were ushered into

There were oysters in all shapes,
and sizes-oysters raw, oyster
soup and oysters fried-and all
the necessary fixings" that go TO
make an oys er supper complete.
Rarely has such delightful
spread been placed before the
young people, and after the sup
per was over there was many an
ambitious young oyster who, no
doubt, wished he had been a
whale or something else.
Mr. G William Carmichael pre-
sided as POSTMASTER in his usual

DR.. ]. 7. Walker Kills James Redmond

A Vicksburg, Miss, dispatch to
the Memphis Com py,cial Appeal
dated Ian. 18th, reports the kill
ing of G q Redmond by DR. J II
Walker, at his plantation on Au
stralia Island, La, last Monday
night. Mr. Redmond was man
ager for DR. Walker. We have
been unable to learn all the cir
cumstances but from the best in
formation we can get Mr. Red
mond fired the first shot and DIR
Walker then killed him in self
defense. DR. Walker immediately
left fol che county site TO surrend
er himself.
Later reports which we consider
authentic are as follows: 1t was
James Redmond, bachelor, who
was killed, and not 9 G Redmond.
Redmond and his nephew, Luther
Lockridge, were both advancing
on DIR Walker with guns drawn
and they fired three shots at him
before he could get his gun in ac
ton, and five shots in all. The
second shot fired by Or Walker
killed Redmond, and Lockridge
ran. A Mr. Burkett, of Dockery,
Miss, was an eye witness to the
shooting and afterwards made the
statement that he did not see how
DR. Walker could have done any
thing else but protect himself as
he did. The shooting occurred
Tuesday morning and not Monday
night as reported by the CONNER
cial Appeal.
