On Monday last a negro of
Americus, prominent in the color

hood, passed peacefully away,and I
that light the “sistcrin” went over
to the house of the deceas'd to sit
up with the corpse. About mid
night, while they sat discoursing
upon the many virtues ot the late
lamented, the deep stillness being
broken onio by the occasional es
cape of an ill-suppressed sob, one
of the number made a remark that
instantly aroused the dander of
anol her, who quickly caught the
offender by the neck and drugged
her out into the yard, where she
.secured a i< nee picket and literally
wore it out over the defamer <f
the silent -I ill’. The noise of the j
battle and the yells of the van-1
(pushed party (piiekly aroused that
end of the town, and several dozen
ol the neighbors rushed to the 1
scene and parted the combatants.
Cases were booked against both
women.
At Lawrenceville last Sunday
Field Cold well (colored), who had
attended a meeting of the colored
peoples’ church, and at the close
of the sermon mourners wore in
vited to the altar. Among those
who responded to the invitation
was Field. He approached the
altar, and knelt down with others.
The usual prayer was said, and
when tiie other mourners rose
Field continued kneeling. Some
of the older members gathered
around him to exhort, when it was
ascertained that he had been strick
en down and was unable to move.
He was taken out of the house and
laid in the shade, and efforts were
made to restore him to conscious
ness, but without success. He
was then carried to John Drum
mond’s and lay in a stupor all day.
Dr. Mitchell was called in, but
found that he cou d do nothing.—
He thinks it was congestion of the
brain, and not paralysis. He
lingered on without speaking until
Wednesday nhiht, when he died
Jasper Porter, who lives live
miles above Jefferson, was affianc
ed to Miss Ward, who lived in the
neighborhood of M'alnut church,
in Jacks hi county. Mr. Porter
had an engagement with the young
lady to visit her Saturday mght
before the first Sunday in this
mouth, and to accompany her to
church on Sunday. On his way
to till his engagement on Saturday
evening he had to pass alnut
church. Seeing a congregation in
the church, he stopped and found
that funeral services were being
held over the remains of some one.
Being a partial stranger in the
community he made no inquiry as
to who had died. When the casket
was opened he passed round to
sec the corpse while relatives and
friends were taking their last look
at it. and to his painful surprise,
his eyes fell upon his affianced,
cold in death. Unable to control
his emotions, he gave way to the
--,'ntest lamentations and eonld
not be comtoiled. He returned
home praying that he might so live
a- to be allowed to meet her in a
land where partings never come.

TTrici in the Crucible, f
About twenty year" as;o I discovered a little Bore on iny cheek, and the doctors pro-
' nounee.l it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma-
• nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. S. S. had .lune for others similarly afflicted. 1 procured some at once. Before I hail used ‘
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
. health had been ba t for two or three years—l haa a hacking cougn ano spit blood contin-
ually. I had a severe pain m my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
■ me and I grew stouter than 1 had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it Is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
I every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
