September 14 th 1878. Mr, Editor I The good boon says that We must have trouble, trials and tribulations, jars and rumors of wars. Now we huve private fights and public fights. It seems that Thomas Grant and Cary Atwater, (both colored) had found a passage that they had de termined to fulfill, which resulted in a cut and brnise. It seems that the said parties were playing for fun. but by some misapprehension or misunderstanding that arose between them,and to take revenge in the shortest way possible, Cary gave with a club, I suppose, to the person of Thomas, a "violent blow." Unfortunately he bowed too late, the club taking effect in the upper story of his, of Thomas’ head,. While uuder that influence, Thomas made forward to return the compliment with an open knife, inflicting a painful wouud in the abdomen of his antagonist, but not seriously. We are also pained to chroni cle the death-blow that was in flicted upon the body of Buck, one of our noted Characters ol the ca nine tribe, bearing the brand of a full-blooded hound, of the firm of Buck, Hunter and Coon. He was murdered by one of his neighbor ing playmates, in the public road, near his place of abode. The mur derer bearing the mark of a male swine, from the plantation uf Mr. C. N. Baines. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the be reaved sportsman. But ah ! our consolation. Uncle George Hol loman's pack survives,not of filty- two, but six hounds that can beat all creation running. Our friend Milton, just beyond the mill, says just give him six months more, and he will huve as many good hounds as Mr. Any body, a little more age wanted Time changes everything, from good to bad,and from bad togood. Twenty years ago, we had to ad vertise to get a pack of houods when they were required on pur ticulaf occasions. Now we can get multitudes of them with the sound of the horn. Four-fifths of our good people ate burning about one-half of our precious daylight' in the interest of the hounds. I, myself,have two, and making dai ly exertions to get more. 1 heart a reliable gentleman say the othe day that he ‘did actually believel that we would huve hounds to clerk for us in our store in the! next change, which is no more than similar ones that have al ready gone into vogue. The for ty-fourth Congress made some very heavy surges to bring “Civil Rights’’ between the whites audl blacks, but some how or other itl was so much like oil and water, it] would not mix.
