The small group of curious specta- tors felt a compassion for the unfor- tunate woman, whoever she was, and wondered what the purchaser would do with his bargains, “Lawd boss, Bee not ‘pelled t’ steal no man’s coul, he white o’ cullud, ‘‘remarked an man of the Rastus type to Officer Henry Sin- gery « night or two ago, when this at- tenuated minion of the law ran across him in suspicious proximity to a well stocked coal car. “No, boss, dat’s not my sack dar I hab jes’ foun’ it. I mean de nig- gah whut run, he leab it ‘kase he peahed to be inahurry, Datniggah must hab had a consentiment ob dangab.’ “Well, uncle,’’ the officer tenta- tively observed, ‘I don’t see why you don’t have to steal coal like the others."’ Easy ‘nuff, boss, explained Ras- easy ‘puff, I'se slickeh dan odder niggabs aroun’ heah. =A niggab kaint steal coal in de wiatah, kase den de p'lice is keepin’ watch.

Nearly all of these same gentlemen attended atrial several months ago at Ban- dana in which Shelby was mixed and it ended in a general display of knives, pistols and Winchesters, to which the Paducah crowd was not accustom Attorney Houser didn't stop until the river was reached and Mr. Harris scaled a forty-toot ladder up the side of a mill in two seconds and «half, All the crowd scattered and expected when they next heard from the lo- cality that half the population would have been massacred, But they learned it was only « periodic out break, just their method of showing how neighborly they were, However, the crowd is now very much dis- traugbt when reminded of the fact that they*will have to go back, ‘They will take guns galore and pistols in plenty, and if anyone ‘‘starts’’ any- | he might as well prepare to take bis departure from this mundane sphere, for the little diMculty that will foliow will be more destructive than Maceo’s army or one of City Clerk Arthur Cole’s best stories, Anent baptisms in rivers and creeks this time of the year, Attorney Jesse Gilbert says he feels certain that the icy water congeals the religion in a tman’s body, and that it may require some time to thaw it out, ‘Down here in Marshall county,’ he said, ‘‘there was a baptizing one or Stylish Hair Sut x —10 TO JAS, BRYAN'S BARBER SHOP 405 BROADWAY: Nice Bath Rooms In in Connection, = ocun Matil, Effinger ty) market affords U7 BROADWAY, q Undertakers and ime: 180 8 Third swore Telephone 136 [iiesideuce Felephoue 100 Sunday in a creek.

The ‘‘vignette’’ thereon is a likeness of Jefferson Davis. All that can be deciphered of the post office stamp is Jul 30. The name of the place from where and year in which it was mailed are so blurred that they cannot be made out. It is “Mrs. A. ) Written across the corner . G. Whitefield, Co. .,’ 86th Ala, Reg’t.”’ When this superscription was on the envelope of a letter it went through the confederate mails no matter whether the postage was prepaid or not, as it was often the case that it was next to impcssible to procure stamps. In such cases whoever took the letters from the post office paid the postage. The other relic received was a fragment of a confederate flag which was captured at Shiloh by the federals. It was given to Mr. Whitefield by Mr. J. R. Cosby, the street inspector of this city, who vouches for the authenticity of the piece of bunting. No doubt could it speak, a sad and pathetic legend would it weave of the buoyant,brave gallant young ensign, who, on that never-to-be-forgotten Sunday morn, April 5, 189 unfurle. it to the breeze, holding its staff with all of a lover's devotion as his regiment moved forward in line of battle. How amid the cannon roar and the mus- ket’s rattle, he still held it aloft with; a soldier's pride, and as the beacon to which his comrades could rally amid the smoke of battle. When, after hours of terrific Sighting, the ranks of his command had been thioned and the color guards had diminished one by one; and about to be flanked by overwhelming odds the bugle sounded the retreat. It was then the intrepid ensign bid defiance and with his long arms raised his beloved flag to the utmost stretch and waved with | all his vim'his mightiest taunt. But alas! the movement drew the con- Shiloh’s gory field, both he and the emblem he carried went down, In DONE, few other things of trivial value that] goiq presented the writer with two| logs from Joppa today. The Ohio is climbing the ievee here at over one inch an hour gait The Clyde is still due to pass out of the Tennessee river for St. Louis. The Dick Fowler was away to Cairo on schedule time this morning. River men think we will have a good steamboating stage of water all this season. The City of Clarksville left for E’town at noon today with a good trip. Only 40,000,000 bushels of coal are on the way down the Ohio for southern points. The Mississippi was reported to be frozen over at St. Louis yesterday, but that’s toe thin. The gauge showed this morning 14:5 and risiug, a rise of about fif- teen-tenths last night. The John S. Hopkins was the big mail packet to Evansville, leaving here this morning at 10. The Ashland City is due here this afternoon from Danville and leaves on her return tomofrow. The big White Collar liner, John K. Speed, is due here from Cinein- nati en ronte to New Orleans today. The Ohio, Tennessee and Cumber- land rivers continue to rise, but the Mississippi is receding at St. Louis, The Charley McDonald, which took a tow of stone to Cairo arrived here yesterday afternoon towing one empty. The Gus Fowler arrived from Cairo yesterday afternoon from which place she took a tow of wire Sunday {morning. The new H. W.

The meeting of the Tobacco Beard of Trade, held at 3 o’¢lock yesterday afternoon for the purpose of electing a tobacco inspector, was! unsuccessful and adjourned over un- til 8 o'clock today. The position of tobacco inspector is a very important one, and one that has been held for several years by Mr. J. C, Piper. The candidates now after the place are J, C, Piper, J.T, Myles, Kirk Barry, of Fulton, and Sam Clark, At the floish it was evident that the fight was a draw, the buyers being for Piper and the ware- housemen for Myles.

All the timber men who have tim- ber along the river banks are in con-| |stant fear now that it will be swept away by the rising water, and it is the same result at every rise. They never think of moving it until there is danger of its being doated away, and then they want a steamer and barges to rescue it, but this cannot always be procured at once, so the timber is lost and the owner is looser but a wiser man. This morning the big steamer Mayflower wheeled into port from out of the muddy Mississippi, ex- hausting in the wheel and with fci- cles hanging on her fan tails, this be- ing the first’ seen around here this season and every old steamboater went out on Point Lookout to watch her pass as usual, with their hands stuffed in their trousers pock- ets, while most every one’s. teeth chattered, Don’t that look win- terish 7" COLORED DEPARTMENT.
