eral health of hls community? In
reply he said; news was scarce, and
general health was good, but really
he said: “My friend and neighbor

She Did Him Wrong.
He came sauntering. by The
News office on Monday last singing,
“Eber nigger got er lady but me.”
We happened out on the office pi
‘azza about the time he ‘got oppo
site the building, and said: . Your
gal must have gone back on you,
judging by your song. He replied:
“Boss, you'ser good man to guess
at de truss, for my gal has sho’
gone back on me, an’ she’s treated
me worse den dat.”
We wanted to hear his story,
hence we syvmpathized with him,
and got him to relate to us his tale
of woe. He continued---
“I’se er hard workin’ nigger, an’
I’s bin 'gaged to Liza ’bout four
months. Us planned to git mar
ried de nite ’fore Cris'mus. Eber
Sat’day I'd go to sece her, an’ gib
her eber cent I could spare to keep
for our weddin’, an’ to go to house
keepin’ on arter us had married. 1
sho’ did lube dat gal like I neber
lub’d no udder ’oman b’fore. Sat’-
day nite last I went to carry her to
}er colored festibule, an’ made up
'my mind dat I was gwine to spend
‘er whole dollar on her dat nite, an’
see dat she had plenty ob chicken
an’ udder good things to eat. Yes
sar, I was sho’ gwine to spread my
sef dat nite’ an’ show de udder
niggers who would be dar, dat I
didn’t mind spendin’ money on my
‘tended wife. Well, to cut disshort,
I went arter her, but she wasn’t
home. Her mammy tol’ me dat she
had run’d off de nite b’fore wider
nigger gambler, an’ dat dey didn’t
kno’ whar she had gone to, but she
went way off yonder some whar on
de kars. Gen-tel-mens, I thought
dat I'd drap dead when I heard dat.
An’ she even took er way my watch
dat I'd bin lettin’ her keep er long
wid de money I let her keep for
our weddin’. Well, sar, my hecrt
went down into my shoes when her
mammy tol’ me all dis. De gal I
lub’d better den anyt’ing in dis
world---an’ I thought she lub’d m 2- I
an’ den be treated by her dis way.
I wheel'd, 1 did, an’ went whar 1
know’d dar was some licker, an’
put dat doller dat I was gwine ter
spend on her, in licker, an’ drunk‘
ebery bit ob it. But dat didn’t
ease my achin’ ‘heart, nor fetch
back my money an’ watch.
So, I sober'd up an’ took an’
oath, to neber, as long as - breff am
in dis body ob mine, ergin put any‘
more confidence in er nudder gal,
an to neber er 'gin to trust ’em to‘
keep Scts for me. I's sho’ lost con- |
fidence in de eulor’'d ’omans race. |
I’s hurt putty bad yit, but maybe 1
I'll git ober it.”
Here he moseyed on up the|

What About A Varnish Factory
for Hazlehurst?
There is a gentleman living in
Jeff Davis county who recently
moved here from California. He is
’ an intelligent man, and seems to be
an enterprising man. He was in
our office a few days ago, and in
course of conversation, told us that
he would like to establish a factoryi‘
here to manufacture varnish, that
he understood the making of Ihis|
valuable article thoroughly. He
says that there is big money in the
manufacture of varnish. He would
like to get up a company and let|
them do the selling while he sup
erintended the making of it. Now,
if any of our enterprising citizens
would like to establist an enterprise
of this kind, they have the oppor
tunity of doing so. Our town needs
manufacturing concerns worse
then anything else, and one enter
prise of this kind established in
our midst will be the means of
bringing others here.

It is certain that the earliest and the
