The prico wats ten cents a shot, and as the state of their finances was very lowv, IL, was their only chanico for a Chr'ist wass turkey. They trusted to luck pmnore than sikill, anid as Providence always smiles upon the deserving, 6they wer-o made happy by being able to present their bettershulves with a turkey for dininer during the holidays. They areu consoled in another respet; they are fully pursuiaded now since *'eir shooting qualois are estab Hi hed that no man, be his beligerent temperament ever 80 great, will dare challenge either of themn for a duel, and they can, with perfect impunity, abuse whomsoever they please to the full extent of their inclinations. HOMICIDE.-LL becomes our duty to record the killing of another person in onr county. A. P. flail, on the 27th ultimo, shot and instantly killed a negro boy nine or ten years old. The circumstanaces of the shooting, as broughts out in the evidehee before the Coroner's inquest, are as follows: Hall and his step-son, G. 1B. Stephens, were atti lc on the day of the shoot ing an on their return home they went~ by Mrs. Ann Crain's, where the boy lived. After arriving at Mrs. Crain's, Hall inquired if Willis Taylor, the negro boy, lived there yet. Short ly after the boy came to the door, looked in and laughed. Hall said, "There's that damned little nigger' ntow. .I will kill him before I go away."The boy passed on, and was at or near the gate cutting wood as Hall and Stephens passed out leaving the house of Mrs. Crain. Mall WentL up to the boy, p!aced his left hand on the top of his head and said: * "If you have anything to say, ay it, for you have to leave the world" HeT then asked St.ephens, his step son, for his pistol, and stephens handed him a knife; but Hall said, "I1 do not waint that; hand hne y'our pistol." Stephens then handed him ar istol, anid Hall placing the muzzle of it, against the side of' the boy's head, fired and the boy fell dead, shot through the brain. Hall turned to Stephens and said, "Why, Berry, (lid you have the pistol loaded? Stephens replied, "Yes, Prue, and you knew it." Hall then ran off, with t.he pistol in his hand, and shouted to stephens to'run. Step hens' story is that when ho and Hall left this place the pistoI was not loaded;..ut on their way to Mrs. Craine'A he loaded it, without the knowledge of' Hall. Hall came to this place immediately after the shoot. ing and surrender'ed to the Sheriff stating that the shooting was aci dental, as he was under the impres. sion that the pistol wvas not loaded, and he only intended to scare the boy fo.r the purnose of having fum o... of him. The shootlg was done late on the evening of the 27th, ultimo, and oa tho ;n0rn1ngf ie 28th Coroner Eae held an Inquest. 'The verdiet of the jary is as follows: That A. P. Hall then and there feloniously did kill the said Willis Taylor, against the peace and dignity (,f the sane State aforesaid; and the Jury also find that one G. B. Stephens was necessory to the same. Hall and Stephens are now confined in jail to await their trial at the next term of Court. We have given only the-facts elicited before the inquest, forbearing any comments of our own as the matter is soon to un dergo tborough judicial investigation.
