Editor Journal: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to speak of the sad death of Miss Lfttira Clark, who was born Arigttst 22d, 1868, and departed this life July 9th, 1887. When ft child she evinced those pe¬ culiar traits of love which endeared her to dii wlio knew her. She became & member of the A: M. E. Church three years ago, and since that time has lived a consistent member of the same. When death cante she said she was ready ftnd wilting to go, and re¬ quested those around to meet her in Heaven, whither she was going to meet her Savior. Her funeral was attended at the A. M. E. church on Sunday, 3:30 p. nu clcler Harris making some brief re¬ marks. from Job 14:10; after Which her remains were Interred in Eastman eetoetery. The bereaved family have the heart¬ felt sympathy of the community.

A sad tragedy occurred in oirr sis¬ ter town of Cochran on the morning of the 6lh inst. Messrs. R. E. Nichols and J. II. Marcliman, both citizens of that place, quarreled about a business maitcr, and words brought on blows. Nichols struck Marcliman over the head with a hoavy stick, fracturing the skull, and from the effects of which he died in the afternoon of the same day, about 4 o’clock. The affair is deeply regretted by the friends of both parties. There seems to have been no intention on the part of Nich¬ ols to do Marcliman serious injury.— They had both been warm friends up to a few moments before tlie blow was struck. Marcliman was the constable ot his district, and leaves a large aud helpless family. Nichols is an ex ,mayor of the town, and a member of the present board of aldermen. Wc learn that a verdict ot involun¬ tary manslaughter was rendered by the coroner’s jury. Otyr Jighl Nclirdutc.
