A slight breeze wastlrred up about meeting time on last Sunday between tho descendants of Africa's sunny clime. John Williams was somewhat under the influence of prohibition juice. A little nigger by tho name of Will Betsy, encouraged by others, throw stones at Williams, which aroused his anger to such a pitch that ho made an infantry charge on tho little darkey and his Impetus was such that ho couldn't stop until he and his oppouent went through a heavy plate-glass window in Humphrey's drug store, smashing sash, lights and all.

Our College is in tho most flourishing condition known for several sessions. It is increasing daily and all are bravely battling with text books for an education, realizing that this alone gives them a position in life. Prof. Willis gives a most interesting and instructive talk each morning, which is calculated to do great good. Ho tells them how to conduct themselves at home, on tho streets, how to gain tho greatest amount of Information from their studies and does not forget their morals. Pupils cannot fail to be benefited as their teachers are wideawake to their interests, feeling that nothing so elevates a town as the right kind of a school.

She has been visiting in Springfield, Mo., Arkansas and Texas and will remain here a short time to drink tho waterc Some of our pension agents who have succeeded so admirably in securing heavy pensions for tho poor negro soldiers should post their subjects about tho battles fought during tho civil war. It is quite amusing to hear a big burly negro tell of what a hard time he had at the battle of "Germantown;" how he had his coat tilled full of holes and how-hard ho "lit" for the Tnion. Many a poor white man that wo could mention is taxed to such an extent that his children want the necessities of life that some negro woman about 23 years old, with a house full of children and fathers for each, may be allowed a pay from the government, each child drawing pay for the man who lost his toe, mashed his finger or got a scratch during tho war. How much longer a this fraudulent pension business going on" How much better that the white man be taxed to help support the thousands of his own race that hardly have enough to keep life in them. The white man is now acting in the rapacity of slaves, working hard to help tho live in euse, have his upright piano, his line surrey and span and look down upon his own color and upon tho poor whites who work to keep him iu luxury.

Tho other night as ho was sweetly dreaming a rock or so fell with some force against his room door and the gentleman from Jerusalem thought his end had certainly come. The poor fellow had been told that Hustonuille was a very dangerous place nnd he was almost scared to death, in fact the next morning he declared that ho would not spend another night in the town for the little city and had he not been informed that it was merely a joke he would have undoubtedly sought a more congenial clime.

Cook, of Rockcastle. Hon. H. F. Fiuley, in a few well chosen words nominated John M. Tinsley; Mr. James Smith, in a category of sympathetic appeals, named Mr. Alfred R. Dyche, of the Echo, as a republican editor who had 4 ibored incesantly and driven the mid night quill to elevate republicanism above the dark abyss of democracy and placed it safely upon tho hill tops of the g. o. p., where it will forever remain if tho convention will proceed to make him its senator.
