A pair of colored mokes on Mr. John
Turnipseed’s place indulged in some barlow
exercise one day last week, and showed a
proficiency in the use of that handy little
weapon that was delightful to see. One was
wounded in four or five places about the
head, face aod neck—the last gash narrowly
missing his jugular vein. Dr. Turnip?eed
was called in to make the necessary repairs,
who plastered and stitched the wounded
man up, and he was doing very well at lust
accounts.
Thr Cabinet Creek Association, (colored.)
which convened here on Friday last, is the
largest organization of the kind iu the State.
Delegatee were present from twenty five or
thirty counties, and continued to arrive up
to the hour of adjournment. The crowd on
Sunday was variously estimated at from five
to seven thousand. One gentleman, who is
usually considered accurate in estimating
large crowds, says there were not less than
seven thousand people on the ground at one
time.
Wk staled in a recent issue that Thos.
McNair, the murderer of young Hardy, in
Butts county, hud been arrested near Mbcod
und lodged in jail. The report proved to be
incorrect, although oor information came
from a reliable source. However, a gentle
man who lives in Butts county, and who is
acquainted with the facts, tells us that on
Monday night last McNair went to the resi
dence of Sheriff Curry and voluntarily gave
himself up, stating as a reason for this action
that he desired to have his trial, and pre
ferred surrendering himself peaceably to
being forcibly placed under arrest. We
understand his plea will be justifiable homi
cide. He was endeavoring to moke a bond
for his appearance at Court at last accounts,
and unless he succeeds he will go to jail.

THIS may be called a fine speech by those
who have never taken the trouble to
make my acquaintance, or to study ray mode
of doing business. Still, 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or io fact to be influ
enced in any wuy by a mere advertisement,
but cordially invite all to call and investigate
for themselves, feeling sure I can prove that
I mean business and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Noth'og but steady, low prices,
year in and jear out. will create and main
tain a trade such ns I have bad since 1 com

prices alone tell the story.

And a varied and choice assortment of

the best and selling as low as the lowest, to
merit a continuance of tbe same.
