If 1 was writfig what right had he
To be bo cross to me *
I know I'm not an angel Spitte— ..
1 don't prettmO to hr.
lie had another sweetheart once—
And now when wo fall out,
He always says she was not cross,
And that she did hot pout;

It's more than I can bear- -
I wish that other girl ol his

Is beautiful as good :
1 wonder if she'd get him back
A gain, now, it she eould;
I know she would, and there she U
She lives almost in sight;
And now it's after nine o’clock,
Perhaps he's there to night.
I'd almost write to him to come -
But then I’ve said l won't -

ANOTHER DIFFICULTY IN TWIGGS
COUNTY.
ONE NEC lio KILLED, AN!) ONE WHITE MAN AND
ONE NEORO WoI.NIJEn 1
liontlemen in town yesterday from!
j Twiggs county report a renewal of the |
i late tloobies and a desperate and fatal j
' rencontre between a SlierilV's possce and
tli.ee negroes. The particulars are as
fallows: Sheriff Stokes received infer
Illation that Berry Hill, a negro of des
pi rate character, who worked on the
plantation of John 11. Dennison, was in
the habit ol drilling fitly or sixty negroes.
The -Sheriff, upon this ground, issued a
warrant for Berry and placed it in Ihc
hands of one of his Deputies, George \\ .
Lee, and ordered him to make tho arrest.
On fin fur Jay last>Deputy Leo summon
oil a i ossee of leu -r twelve men and
went lo the House of Berry for the pur
pose of carrying out the order. M hen
they l'ode up, they saw Berry standing
in the yard in front of his house, Mr.
Leo at once culled tojhirn lo come to him.
But he retreated into hjs house and in an
im.!.i the posse received a volley of
i liucksliof from llio door of l'crry's holism
i Thomas Melton, who had alighted from
' Ids horse, was wounded by Inis fires in
l, ( ,th lliig I is. Several buckshot went
j through the flesh, but n s bones were
-truck.
! The whole paty then opened upon I lie
house with guns and pistols. Tins fire
[Was relumed vigorously, 1h a few nio
! meiits Llie Slieritl’s posse, seeing they
i were lighting at a disadvantage, were
• •rdered lo charge. They did so, broke
down the door, entered the hguse and
then fid owed a desperate light at close
quarters. Berry was at last soiled but
slid relmu'd to surrender, lie kept up
the light aild event pally got out ol the
i.iiuse aild into l|is yard. Here he soon
fell mortally wounded, lie lingered mi
[ til•Hiimlay night and died. _ !
! Two oilier negroes were i)i theie Mitlil
! him. in the melee one leaped from thej
: house and tried to escape. lie was shot j
! through tin: hip and captured. '1 he third j
: was captured and found to be not Wotm !
Med. '
i Seven or eight shots were fired from
the house at the Deputy and his men, but
i no one was hit except Mr. Melton.
I.'pon searching the house it was found
iio be a inihature arsciiul, guns, pistols,
[XiW'fei and shot, were tin re in piolu
! sion. The two men with Berry say they
|di,l not fire a gun, and their story seejns
lo ho believed.’ They were taken to Jet
ier.sonville and lodged in jail. Ihe one
(shot through the thigh was not danger
ously hurt. The wounds of Mr. Melton j
: are not dangerous. _ j
; Ifi ri v dill not wait until the object of
Ihe Deputy and men was made known to
him Put aS soon an he saw them rido up
‘ he ran into his house,-seized a double- |
’ barreled shot gun, and turned it loose j
: uj on them from thisyloor. He then clos
!ed and barred the door, ami when the
’ lire was returned by the party fired
[six or eight times through cracks in the .
house lie lireu at random aud did not
: hit any one else.
He was of a notoriously bad and des
jpi rate character. He formerly belonged [
to Mrs. F. A. Finch.
We loam that Deter Easom, a colored ,

’ was arrested on Saturday and lodged in
the Jeffersonville jail.
Wo also learn that Alfred Fleming,
