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.

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 taincy,” said the king, tt I meant to give it you this morning, but you rail so hard I could not catch you.”—St. James’Gazette. 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 coming to breakfast in papers. When he tells her how some other woman looks. When she begins to ber the virtues of the man didn’t marry. 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 his club. When she begins to hunt her old friends and enjoy ing on them. When he comes in late dinner. When she forgets to home from the matinee in to greet him before dinner. When the days while he away begin to seem too instead of too long.
