Smith, chairman, s list of tnree managers of election not later than August 10th. After the passage of a little poppycock addition to the pledge the meeting adjourned. Commenting a little on the ac tion of the committee in the mat ter of assessments, we want to say that the total wiil foot up about $850. We are informed, that the print ers corralled aJrout $150 out of the last primary, and as we are a new Richmond iu the field, we hope the powers that be will re member The People in this go around. 4uicide Follow* Crtiue. It is extremely distasteful for us to publish records of crime, bat there are exceptions to all rules, and as this case is one in which a number of our readers have demanded that we publish the facts, we will give them as briefly as possible. It seems that a Mr. Langley, a farmer living near Boy kins, had a farm'hand, a negro. That on Friday a- week ago, this negro left Mr. L?angley plowing in ?tne field and went to the house where he committed a criminal assault urpon Mrs. Langly, threatening to kill her if she ever divulged it. That she did inform her husband of it on Monday follow ing, and that the negro was al lowed by Mr. Langly to plow alongside of himself until Thurs day, when lie, or someone wired the {Sheriff to come for him. That the negro made no attempt to escape or to resist arrest, and is now confined in jail. Ou Sun day morning Mr. Laugly walked to the rear of his barn and shot himself through the boad with a pistol. Hum and Jokr. Saturday was a particularly lively day on the streets of the City, and Sam and Jake struck the town early. As may have been i noticed by our readers, Sam is a fellow who does things rather than one who talks them. He is not at all backward in giv ing advice when the occasion offers, but ucts rather than talks. This time, however, he met Jake and merely guve him a gruff sa lute. This didn't suit Jake at all, as he had just covered a half pint of SmyiTs Best aud felt good. He looked at Sam as steadily as his condition would allow and said: "Well, yu is er putty lookin' nigger. Wlia' fur yu got dat jnean lookin' face on yer?" "Doant yu gib me no sass dis ebenin Jake, ops my ieelin' am hurt, an4 ef I git eny slack, I is lierble ter turn loose."
