Berrien News; Monday, tho 15th Inst., was tho
eighty-first birthday of Mr. Malcolm McCranie, of
southwest Berrien, and It wu decided to celebrate
the event by a family reunion and dinner. Early
In the day thc children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren began to assemble at thc
home of their venerable ancestor.
By noon nluety six had arrived and
it was ascertained that four could not ba present.
This makes an even hundred of direct docendents
of this good old gentleman. Before dinner was an
nounced, Mr. McCranie ordered bis family into
line, aud ihe count showed that ninety six were
present. Mr J. W. McKenney then delivered an
address suitable to tho occasion, after which the
family and their invited guests, numbering about
threehumlred. satdowu to a bountiful dinner.
Mr. McCranie has been married twice, and is the
father of seventeen children, six of whom are dead.
The names of the liviugare: Mrs Nancy McKiuney,
Mrs. Ma tha Lindsey, Mrs. Mary Mathews, Mrs.
Eliza nutchlmon, Mrs Catherine Hutchlnson.Miss
hllztibcth McCranie, Mra Carrie Parrlfh, C. W.
McCranie, MUs Minnie McCranie, B. B. McCranie
atrd G. T. McCranie. This is the largest birthday
celebration ever held in Berrien, and speaks louder
than words of tbe esteem ln which Mr. McCranie
and his family are held by their neighbors. It it
a glowing tribute of affection aud regard for Mai
com and Nancy McCranie, who have reached thi
evening of well spent lives. The Star congratu
lates the good old couple on the suecess of their
family reunion, and wishes for them many years of
life, Health, happiness aud prosperity.

I desire all persons concerned to understand is a

Rev Mr. Allen or any ono else to sign It for me. I
am not apprised of eveu the existence of such com

The Waynesboro Citizen thus tells of two trage

It rays:
We have been able to;iearn very few reliable facts
concerning tho terrible tragedy which occurred
sear McBesn on last6unday. We have seen twenty
or more statements in the publio prints, all of
which probably contain some foots, but none of
them can be correct, and we deem them all the
statements of the rumors of tbe hours. We do not
care to give these rumors currency, as we feel
satisfied that none of them are correct, and may
bias tho publio mind. The only facts that we
know to be correct are that a difficulty occurred
at a base ball match near McBean on Saturday.
The parties separated, but met at church
on Bunday, when tbo difficulty was
renewed and resulted in the killing of old man
Hyms on tho ground, tho wounding of Brit Rodgers
and the two Hyms boys, both the latter dangerous
ly If not fatally. We do not know who is to blame,
aud beg tbe nubile to suspend their opinion and be
patient until a preliminary investigation la had,
which ts ret for uext Thursday, when wc will give

rence Metsra. John M. Rodgers, Warren Rodgers,

with all the good citizena of our oounty deplore
this uufortuuate circumstances, aud hope it may
never be repeated..
Of the recent tragedy tn which negroes were
ceracd, thc same paper says, under the head of "a
cold-blooded murder:” Early Isst Saturday night
Sam Williams shot and kilted ('1cm Bush, both
kolond. lua way to make the act a most cold
blooded murder. Tbe cause of the killlrg was
Jealousy. On Wednesday night Williams shot at
Bush but roi*red him. On Saturday evening and
early part of the ntgnt they were both in town.quar-
reiiug but to all appearances made up, took a
drink together, and Bush said he waa gotne home,
and got into his buggy for that purpose. Williams
tooka near cut to his bouse just in the upper edge
of town, aud, getting hie guu, placed him*. If on the
roadside toawalt thecomi g of Bush, and when he
wm passing him in the dark discharged a large
load of slugs into him, at only a few feet distauce
wuich produced death in a few hours. Bo far as
we are informed uo attempt hM been made to ar
rest Williams, although it is said he remained at
Bum*'■ mill, only 16 miles distant, a day or two, and
white it is disagreeable to us to blaflto any one, we
are compelled to believe that the sheriff has not
done htsduty. We are determined to have the facts,
and to put the blame if any, where it belongs.
