Shot In The ear
Union Point, Ga., April 4 —[Spe
cial.] —Yesterday afternoon, about
dark, Arthur Howard, colored, shot at
Seymore Jackson, also colored, but
missed him. Nursing his wrath all
night Howard started out this, morn¬
ing and found Jackson in the crib
shelling corn. Stealthly going up to
him (Jackson) he fired a ball into his
right ear, which produced a wound
which, in the opinion of Dr. Dillard,
will prove fatal. It was all about a
woman.
Cemetery Work.
The Ladies Memorial Association
beg leave to state that all hands and
moneys contributed for work on the
Cemetery will be used in general work
on the walks, the soldiers’ graves, and
graves having no one now living
among us to look after them, Of
course it is supposed that persons own
ing private squares will see after the
same, outside of the general work. It
would be an imposition on good na¬
ture t o expect Mr. Akins to give l".is
time, and employ the bauds on pri¬
vate lots.
The ladies, were quite successful in
collecting foi tne cemetery fund. The
whole amount collected being $11.75,
besides quite a number who agree to
furnish laboreis. Every one who will
send hands are requested to send them
m on Monday the 18th to commence
work.

The Augusta Chronicle of this week

ing papers of Georgia.
There is an idea afloat among high
literary characters tnat the English
language is liable to be corrupted by
newspaper correspondents and report¬
ers. This class of writers certainly af¬
fect a style entirely different from that
used half a century ago but whether
this is any injury to the language is a
debatable question. Perhaps we are
getting rid, in this way, of that “ini' - ■
tation English” which lias character¬
ized most American writers.
