PRICE.
On .Sunday night at seven
o'clock Sam Price, colored, was
shot and instantly killed, on
Retning ton Avenue, in front of
his home by officer R. L. Daw
kms. The shooting was done
while the negro resisted arrest
an d no inquest was held,
price was a noted negro char
acter. He bought and sold
ch ickens and eggs, His wagon
and team of ponies we :- e fa
miliar sights on the streets of
the city. While sober he was
po iite and agreeable, but when
drunk, a common occur, ence
with him, he was a veritable
demon. Only a few months ago
he beat his wife, resisted arrest,
anu alarmed the quiet residence
portion of the city by his howls
and curses. The fines from this
escapade aggregated sevecal
hundred dollars, but he learned
no lesson from the event and
continued h* p evil ways. Sever
al weeks ago his wife left him
and went to Savannah.
Sundny he became intoxicat
ed and terrorized the neighbor
hood with his actions. Police
man Davvlads was sent for, and
endeavored to serve him with a
summons to Mayor's court.
Price refused to go with the
officer, and refused to accept the
summons. The officer asked
him for admission to his house
in order to write and leave the
summons. Price refused and
would not admit Mr. Dawkins
to his house, nor would he bring
him a light by which he might
write the summons. The police
man went into the yard and
started toward the house. P r ice
seized a scantling and ordered
the officer with vile curses to
leave the premises.
Desiring to avoid Double Mr.
Dawkins retreated across the
street and was writing the sum
mors by the light of the. moon.
As he was writing Price again
cursed him and rushed at h : m.
Then the officerp 1 ’led his gun
and shot. The bullet passed
through Sam's eve and caused
instant death.
The above story is gleaned
from eve witnesses. The un
fortunate occurence is regreted
by the officer, but his friends
regarded it as a ease of neceessi
ty and say he took tha only
course possible.
No inquest was held and Mr.
Dawkins has not been put un
der arrest.--Times-Enterprise.
Chicago, Dec. i 3 .—The sash

Mention of Bismarck recalls
a story he used to tell of an in
eident which his grandfather
witnessed when serving under
Frederick the Great. It affords
good reading in the
time in view of mistakes and
rumors of mistakes degradations
and equivocal promotions, of
which tales comes "gh from
St. Petersburg. During some
maneuvers on ensioti o made a
mistake, and the old king, in a
flaming passion 4 pursued him
with a stick, intending to pub
licly chastise him. The ensign o
lit out for all he was worth and
nimbly leaped a ditch which
the king could not negotiate,
but was left fuming on the
wrong side. Later the colonel
of the regiment reported to the
king that the ensign had ten
dered his resignation. “I am
sorry, sire, for he is a really fine
sodier,” said the colonel. “Send
him to me,” replied Frederick.
The ensign crme in, expecting
to be beaten or perhaps sent to
prison. it Here, sir, is your eap

to give it you this morning, but
you rail so hard I could not

Some London papers have
been discussing the subject of
honeymoons and have decided
that a bride ceases to be a
“bride” and becomes a “wife”
after six weeks of matrimony.
This is absu r d, says the New
York Evening Mail, because
there are some wise women who
are brides all the days of their
lives, and there are some foolish
women who cease to be brides
or even wives twenty-four hou rs
after the wedding. No time
limit can be set upon the honey
moon. It may go down with
a dull, sickening thud after a
week of married life, or it may
shine on merrily to the golden
wedding. A woman may know
that she has seased to be a bride
only:
When she finds herself saying
uncomplimentary things to her
husband.
The first time her husband
criticizes her frocks.
When she discovers that she
is jealous. economical
When he grows
with his kisses.
When she begins to nag.
When he becomes
about the food.
When she does not

When he tells her how

When she begins to

When he begins to eulogize
his mother.
When a meal becomes
quiet that she can plan a
frock between the courses.
When he begins to go out

When she begins to hunt
her old friends and enjoy

When he comes in late
dinner.
When she forgets to

When the days while he
