She removed to this State with her husband iu 1S37, who departed this life some fum teen years ago, and connected herself with the Fellowship Baptist church, in which she lived a pious and consistent life.

Mother Johnson was a most excellent woman she possessed many lovely and beautiful traits of character. She was kind, gentle, charitable and good. She made a dutiful and affectionate wife; she Eli Brooks, a copper colored indi- tidual, used his knife on another nigger, who evidently enjoyed much pleasure in exhibiting to the'jury the effect of tli's knife. Two years was thought to be sufficient. Verily the way of the transgressor is hard.

C. L. LL, leptPiuhorli, a-brv CIECTJIT COTJET DOTS-Wise and Otherwise. Some people have an ungovernable hankering after turning Jack. Among others was that gentleman Willis Jones, who owned up to the tune of $20 aud costs, but he made no rash promises'.

Rosamond said the coal mines had no terror for him, and if it was not for the name of the thing, bringing reproach upon his kin, he wouldu't mind it so bad. Rosamond had been there before, aud had a fine prospect of digging deeper among the black diamonds, but just in the nick of time a friend in need proved a friend indeed, so he left displaying his ivory to great advantage. Another case involving moral turpitude created considerable interest. Whether the white man or the white woman got the corn or not will remain a mystery in the mind of this reporter. jury did not want to! believe that a woman would do such a thing, so they saddled the blame on the' man.

Another case of burglary. Emma, a colored wench, could not explain how it was, so the Court sent her where thieves do uot break through nor steal. Prince Bailey lost his 'cordion and accused a white boy of burglarizing his domicile with felonious intent. Jack has been there before and docs not seem to have remorse of conscience. Judge told him to go up stairs.

The way Eliza, a white woman, used her tongue and another weapon on that poor fellow's head was a sin, and, just because hehadthe audacity to speak angrily in a low tone of voice, he had, to face the jury and give an account of himself. He made a good showing aud went on his way rejoicing. It is a pity that innocent people have to suffer because of the evil doings of others. That yaller gal punched Pat-sey's face so that it looked like a potato grater. Yet she got the go on her 'fore de squire," and now Palsey has to walk the mysterious passages about Pratt mines.

"'Taint right, Judge, 'taiiit right." Another colored voter wa9 requested to deposit a small memento in the treasury. Georgo married Jane, and the old mail promised to give Jane a calf. So wheu George and Jane moved they came over after the calf. The old man had reconsidered the matter and 'lowed how he could'nt get the calf. The way George went for one end of that calf and the old man the other end for fully one half hour, would make a Sinner laugh.

In the row George punched the old man in the short ribs, so the juiy said he would have to aute a small amount. Alex Ellis, another gentleman of previous condition, had a disregard for the bolts and locks and went into another man's house uninvited. Alex owned up like a little man, and the Judge said one year prospecting in Pratt mines would bo conducive to better morals. The gentleman who was after Tur ner with a double barrel shot trim didn't think the Solicitor toted fair. The Court thought $3 line was rather cheap for such conduct, but concluded to let him oil' at that.

The celebrated Love case is off the docket at last. Wc. rejoice with the Clerk, for tho record of continuances is as long as the moral law nearly. Blasphemous language in tho presence of females is not permissible un der tho laws of Alabama. Young Sanders Jiaving a total disregard for the law will have time to repent of his folly before he is through with the coal business.

Jo Brandy (from the name a simon pure miti prohibitionist) and Luke Harrison made a gallant fight, but tho Captain's witnesses were insufficient to show how tho boys got that cotton. Perhaps eighteen mouths experience will learn them to be more careful. The witness swore point blank that Mary called that white lady a bitch, but somo how the jury did not believe it. If Sinai was to thunder forth daily Thou shalt not steal," it would not deter a negro from breaking Into houses and stealing. Henry Bailey goes up two years for this offense.

Pcoplo who bust the head of a negro with a bottle of bust head have to pay the fiddler. Better keep sober. Alico and that other fellow were allowed to go, but it was because tho witnesses could not be had. Sarah II having failed to observe tho 7th commandment, and having not tho fear of man In her heart, was adjudged guilty and requested to Interview McCurdy, gentlemen engaged In tho black diamond business, for about tn no mouths. Tol and Ellen Golden had some hog meat that they could uot account for.

The Court, In its generosity, allowed them (o plead guilty of petit larceny. It is inconvenient to be poor and without friends, as Tol and Ellen found out to their sad experience. Mr. John D. Guyton is down from Columbus, and paid the Alabamiax a pleasant visit.

Snow fell in this county last week to the depth of eight or ten inches, the heaviest we have seen for years. Messrs. Johnny Lipsey and Hays Owing left last Monday for New Orleans to visit the great Exposition. Married, At the house of the bride's father. Feb.

He is an able, honest and faithful solicitor, aud one of the best prosecuting officers-in the Slate. The Circuit Court completed its business and adjourned last Saturday at 8 o'clock a. in. The dockets, civil and cirnn'iial, were well cleaned up.

A vast amount of business was disposed of. The Court complimented the juries, and the people compliment Judge Sprolt. Judge Sprott is winning favor with all classes as a Judge and gentleman. lie is prompt and faithful, and dispatches business to the general satisfaction of litigants. lie is holding court iu Sumter county this week.

Serions Accident. AVe learn from a dispatch to the Times-Democrat that Mr. Amsd Meek, a nephew of the late li. J. Hughes of this county, was ruu over by a freight car at Kosciusko, on the 7th i list, and killed.

He was unloading fertilizer at the tine of the accident. Meek married a niece of Capt. D. C. Hodo of this place.

We are pleased to sec signs of prosperity again in our midst. Most of our farmers have beeii improving their time planting oats during theso delightful, balmy days. Mr. John Mouchett has just treated himself to a brau new wagon, and Mr. Gus lteiifro has gone and done likewise.

Peeping over at our neighbor, Fayette C. what do we behold! Lumber already on the ground for a new building, and-wheii thin oue is finished, together with tho other two built there soma year ago, thero will be a decided improvement iu the appearance of that place. Truly, tho wheels of progress roll on, and wo aro destined to see better days In the near future.

She was universally respected in this community, had many wann friends, and left not a single enemy among us.

What is the christain's hope worth at the solemn hour of death, or what else besides is worth living and striving after! It is the only antidote for the damp of death, and the blessed ray of sunlight that points the way to heavenly rest to the dying christian. She wakes in Heaven with angels fair A child of glory, now Celestial blossoms wreath her hair, And angels crown her beaming brow. H. Obituary. Mrs.

G. W. Hewitt. Amzi Meek. Kosciusko (MUs.) Star.

On last Saturday evening, while moving a box car near the depot, Mr. Amzt Meek fell under it and was crushed to death. Among the inanv honored names whose history. is connected with Kos ciusko, and whose memories are cherished by her citizens, none have ever been called away from us by death's relentless hand, more sadly missed than the or.o whose name heads this notice. Such were his traits of mind and heart, that while we recognize the higher claims of the homo circle and church relations, wc nevertheless feel that the whole community had a claim upon him in which every one nrized his distinctive ownership.

His earnest religions zeal, his unselfish public spirit, his unflinching integi ity, allied him to every interest that was honorable and good, and made him jit once not only the object of esteem by every one, but the recognized example of exalted citizenship in which all knew him claimed the right to share his part. And it is no fulsome praiso upon our part to say that the calamity which cameto his own devoted family circles like a bolt from the hand of the Storm King upon the peaceful mariner in the midst of a successful voyngo has gr.isped in its terrific shock, the affections and kindliest of the entire circle of his acquaintance. Hh family, his church, his town and county' stand with clasped hands over his memory and with one voice say Ho was ours." And while his is undoubtedly an eternal gain, ours is loss, irreparable loss. Personally, had known Mr. Meek but a short time, but iu that short acquaintance we had learned to esteem him for those qualities which ennoble the possessor and blesses .1 IIIIIKU liu CUIMIT ill tt.wi mill.
