Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Seale, Ala., August 24.—As there seems
to be considerable interest manifested in
the barbecue to be given in Seale by the
Seale Gun club on the 2Gth inst., I will
give you some facts in regard to the origin
and general management of the affair, and
wauld be glad to have you publish it.
Our club decided to give a barbecue and
invite some of the neighboring clubs to be
present, and to make it more interesting
we decided to have a shooting match. Afr
ter discussing the matter and consulting
some of the citizens of Seale and vicinity,
the affair assumed larger proportions than
we anticipated. So we instructed each
member of our club to invite ns many of
his friends as he desired. We then invited

\ Suit for Two rhlrkeiiM
One colored damsel instituted proceedings be
fore Judge Woot ten yesterday against a female
of like persuasion to recover two bantam chick
ens, and after much wrangling and hard swear
ing she again g;>t possession of her darling pets.
The cost of the - suit amounted to several times
the value of the chickens.
In a ( ri1l.nl Condition.
A ffew days ago the Enquirer-Sun made men
tion of a difficulty between Jim McCormick and
Anderson Ross, in which the former fractured
the skull of the latter with a stick. Dr. Cameron,
the city physician, informs us that Ross is in a
critical condition, though he does not think his
injuries necessarily fatal. McCormick is in jail.
Ladles* Festival in Girard.
The ladies and friends of the Girard Baptist
church will give an icecream supper on o-nior-
row (Thursday) evening for the benefit of the |
church. It will be held in the open air on the I
lot south of the Wood field corner, known ns the |
brick fence lot. It is well known that the Girard ; the Columbus G
cer yelled out. ‘Hold up thnt gun.’ Then Mr.
Gunter apparently seeing that Mr. Taylor
was not the man he was after, looked
to the left at Mr. Montgomery, who was
sitting with his back rather toward the
door. Mistaking him, Gunter cried out: ‘There
you are, Martin, God damn you,’ and fired in
stantly. Almost simultaneously with Gunter’s

Little Mattie, the youngest daughter of J. M. j

yesterday morning to see what could lie done by I
way of extracting a piece of needle which had j
been broken off in her arm just below the elbow, j
and was buried the eighth of an inch beneath
the surface. After a time the doctor succeded in
locating the precise spot, and by a skillful
manipulation of his instruments succeeded in
drawing out the offending object and the little
sufferer went away with a cheerftil smile and
grateful expression upon her countenance.

A Policeman Deliberately Shot Bonn by a Drunken
Citizen.
Montgomery policemen seem to be running in
bad luck. Not long since one of them was dan
gerously wounded, and yesterday morning be
tween 12 and 1 o’clock Policeman Montgomery
was shot and killed by Mr. Hams Gunter. From
the Advertiser we learn the following particulars
of the tragedy:
“Mr. Gunter, it seems, had been drinking in
the early evening, and about 10 o’clock became
so troublesome at Fleming's restaurant that
officers were obtained to take charge of him.
Captain Martin and Policeman McGee attended
to this duty, and took Mr. Gunter to police head
quarters. Alderman Thomas Williams there
made bond for the prisoner, and he was released.
Mr. Williams then took him to his residence.
Before leaving Mr. Gunter threatened to kill
Captain Martin In fact, told the captain he was
going home to get his shotgun and would come
back and kill him before day. No inmortance

Mutual Life INilioio* Asia In,
A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake-
wood, N. J., died. Many years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, one for $15,000
and the other for $.5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $24,733, the $1733 being
a portion of tlie dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $0139.89, so that the company
returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or
$4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting Tlie Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.—Atlantic City Review.
