Quite a lively time was created
by a "corned" colored chap last
Saturday evening in this town. He
replied to the reproof the Mayor
gnve Mm by drawing a knife upon
that functionary. The Mayor or
dered some bystanders to arrest
th 'ï pugns^ious darkey, who took to
i hi? heels as hard as he'could clip it.
Then en&u. d a foot -race, for the
fketness of which all who partici
pated deserve credit. W ltli flj ing
coat tail, a " representative of the
C larion was among those who
pursued that absconding "exodust
er." B-!t as the C larion has never
been known to "get left, the flee
ipo- floi'" 0 *)' was overtaken and
brought back to Iiis ITönor, who
consigned him to the lock-up, where
a drunken man soon returnsJ 4 to his
normal condition.
About two w»eks ago Parks Al
lien and Jessie Finley, two gallant
young bucks, of the colored per
suasion, living in Gum Swamp, fell
out about a woman, whose name
we have not learned, and by a si
multaneous, if not a mutual, con
sent, agreed to decide the differ
ence by an "appeal to arms."
The result was that Parks Allen
was killed by his antagonist, Jessie
Finley. Jessie was arrested, lodged
in jail until last Monday, when he
was carried before Judge Norwood.
After a searching examination, the
court decided that Mr Finley acted
in self-defense, and was therefore
justifiable in taking the life of his
rival, Mr. Allen.
Why is it that they all go to Pe
terkin, the great cheap cash man ?
From the fact, that he means to sell
cheaper than the cheapest.
Whose busted again ? Why,
Peterkin, the great cheap cash man
lias busted the extortionate prices
in Bastrop.
We take special pride in direct
ing the attention of our merchants
and planters to the advertisement
of the "Cryer Line" in to-day's
paper. If the "Line" does what
it proposes, and we believe it will,
our business men should, and we
think they will, give it their entire
business. We need such a steam
boat business as Capt. Cryer pro
poses to do.

"The Old Life Preserver" is what
they call Johnson's Anodyne Lini

made. This name is well deserved
for it is the best liniment in the
world. It will certainly prevent
diptheria, and will relieve croup and
asthma instantly.—[Western Paper.

At the residence of Mr. Camp
bell, one evening last week, quite a
crowd assembled to witness a raffle
that was gotten up for the benefit
of the Catholic Church. During
the evening it was proposed to as
certain by a vote, which would cost
two bits, which is the prettier, Miss
Jeannette Levy or Miss Mamie Pe
terkin. After a hotly contested
race, mixed with a good deal of
fun provoked by our eccentric
"Sam," Miss Mamie was declared
the prettier. Right here, Miss Ma
mie, allow us to tip our hat and
congratulate you upon the deserved
compliment wû.l yon.
