wounds, neither being serious.
1t is thought he will be sufficiently
recoveredin few days to be brought
back to Macon for trial on charge
of having whiskey in his possession.
Saturday night about 1880 when
Marshal Eiland was returning to
town he came down the sidewalk
in front of the Buck place, when
near the bottom Of the hill he saw
three men just south of the Jones
shop in the street. He did,not know
whether they were white or color
ed. but the street light reflected
either a bottle or a pistol in the
hands of one, and he walked up and
found the men were Addison Beas-
lev, John Jones and a negro he did
not know. They denied having any
whiskey, but the negro he did not
know mas setting down and he told
tim to stand up and be search,
The negro tried to back off but the
riashal stepped up and took bottle
tie Of whskey out Of his overcoat
pocket. He then told thhe negro to
hold up his hands and be searched.
Instead Of doing so the negro

IN the left side in front just above

through the negro's body and was
cut out from the right side by The
surgeon at the Meridian hospital.
Marshal Eiland stopped Addison
Beasley, who tried to run when the
shooting began and sent him for

and Hill responded. The wound az
reared to be serious and the negro
was sent to Meridian on the ] a. m

Marshal Eiland regretted shooting
the negro and told him at the time

A TROUBLED CONSCIENCE.

The Havre de Grace Ledger tells
the following little story of a
troubled conscience:
AS Mr.. Harry Jobes was entering
the Office OF the Columbian Building
and Loan Association one night
about eight months ago, he found a
dollar bill on the sidewalk. Shortly
after going into the Office, a man
rushed In and asked IL anybody had
found a dollar bill. Mr.. Jobes re-
piled that he had, and handed the
dollar to the man. Mr.. Jobes did
not think Of the affair again, until
Monday when the man asked him il
he remembered the circumstance,
and returned the money, stating that
he saw Mr. Jebes pick up the money,
and claimed it. He said his con-
science had hurt him ever since. and
he wished to return the money and
get the thing of his mind"

at the great collection of war relics
and other souvenirs there gathered
together after many years searching.
One Of the oldest is that of what
looks like an old shoe, which is in
reality hiding place for jewelry
used during the Revolutionary War
days. The story goes that the in
habitants of this locality hid their
keepsakes in various ways until the
war was over, and this shoe having
trap door. and being made Of
paper was filed with jewelry and
thrown into the garret of the home
where it was recently found ana

down these hundred years by word
of mouth.-Kennett News.
