Negro Beat White Man.
At Jewell’s warehouse about
noon last Thursday, Ely Harrison,
colored, fearfully beat up Shelton
Smith, a white man who lives
the upper part of the county,
flicting painful injuries. Smith
had gone to the warehouse for
some guano, failing to get an or
der for same from Mr. Jewell. It
is said that the negro had been
given instructions not to give out
any guano without an order, so
Smith telephoned Mrs. Jewell anc
she instructed the negro to issue
to him the guano he wanted. The
negro, however, appears to have
wanted a row and jumped on
Smith, beating him over the heac
and about the body, and finally
biting him on the chin.
Smith had to have his wounds
dressed by a physician and he suf
fered considerably. A case wae
made against the negro, and he
was tried by Mayor Parker Thurs
day afternoon. A fine of $100 and
costs, or ninety days on the
streets, was imposed, and Harri
son was also bound over to the
superior court for assault with in
tent to murder. He is said to be
a mean negro, and his last scrape
will probably teach him a lesson.

The newspapers of the State are
hopping on the town council of
Winder because it imposed a tax
on the newspapers published there.
The Tribune believes the Winder
council made a grave mistake in
taxing the newspapers of that
town. No doubt the members of
the council will finally see the
matter in that light themselves.-—
Walton Tribune.
Some of our Gainesville couu-
cilmen are on a par with Win
der’s. Everything is taxed but
“the money keeps a-gwine.” They
might see their mistake, but it is
not recorded that they would
know it.
A Pleasant Occasion.
Mrs. J. M. Oliver entertained
last Thursday night in honor of
Misses Hattie Mitchell and Marion
Chambers at her elegant home on
Green street. A majority of the
young]| people of the city were
present, and the occasion was a
pleasant one. Delicious refresh
ments were served during the~even-
ing, and the amusement features
were delightful.
