Hkavy on Larry.?The Atlanta Conalitut?m
is a grew friend of T. L' Arioso Uaott,
and we therefor* feel sure that the following
p rsonal intelligence of our lute lamented.
given in the Conatilutioii a Washington c rrespnndcuce,
is fully a? veracious as its
c inplimeiits to lnu a few months ago:
' harry (Juntt has been here for several days
wiili t lie South Carolina electoral rote.
Larry was in town some time before he delivered
the rote, because he claims he could
not regale himself properly in Columbia for
the great occasion, lie thought he could
draw his in lenge before delivering the vote,
and improve his pers mal appearance by a
new outfit. He was m stakeu in this, bin
upon giving a proper mortgage upon his
claim lie was enabled to secure a new t>i k
hat and a clem c d'nr. Thu-\ when La-ry
delivered the vote of S >uth ( arolina to the
president pro tern., Man lersou of the Senate.
he actuary wore a brand new silk hat
and a white celluloid collar. His liair was
tiled for the occasion, and Larry made a
great speech in delivering the vote. With
iiia $120 mileage, Larry is now seeing Washington.
He has a return ticket.We do
not understand why I.'Arioio "could not
resale himself properly in Columbia," as
his Dispensary scheme has not yet gone
into operation, hut we are] truly glad that
he has indulged himself in a clean collar.
That oiling of the bair was a mader-stroke.
It eoeveyed to the dazzled Senate nu out
ward and visible sign of his inward and
spiritual "slickaees." But why was L'Arioso
impecunious ? Are the wages of sin
not payable on demand * ? The State.
A Mississippi Traukdv.?CairoLtoa,
Miss., January 19. ? Robert George, a
nephew of Uaited States Senator J. T.
George, committed suicide at It'ahcna,
Miss., lost night while on the way to Carrollten
jail in charge of asberilTa posaee.
Young George was charged with the murder
of Capu W. B. 1'iiuce, one of the in st
prominent and wealthy planters in the Hate.
The story of the tragedy is one of the
meet sensational in the history of Mississippi;
A few nights ago Capt. Prince was
assaulted wi<h an axe when he entered the
door of his residence in the suburbs of
Carrollton. He was knocked senseless, and
lay in a pool of blood until the next morn
tog, when be was discovered by bis wife.
His wounds ware fatal. Investigation re
suited in iha arrest of llobert George.
Young George wm vio tolly in lore with
Mias Shelly Prince, a daughter ef (.'apt.
Prince, who objected to the match and
threatened to disinherit his daughter unless
aba gnra George up, which she refused to
do. He wrote his will, disinheriting her.
The couple commenced making prepnrti ions
for the future by the daughter drawing
drafts on her father in the name of a New
Orleans merchant to a large amount, which
yeung George cashed in the Carrollton
Bank, baring the money placed to his
.credit.

audieuce greeted the ftmous McOibeny
Family at the Opera House last Thursday
night.
The McQibeuy Family is composed of 16
persons, and is on* of the larecaf musical

Union know a good thing when ihey act it,
and it can safely be said that no "ne wan
disappointed in the performance.
Of the entertainment gircn by these clover
people tjomuch cannot be said. It was one
of the brightest musical enterta:nments ever
presented here, and th ee who failed to
attend ruissed a rare treat.
The "Clemencean Case" will he presented
at the Opera House on February lid. This
is one ef the best shows on the road, having
been played in all the large cities in this .State
to crowded houses. This company should
draw a large audience hers.
There art several more companies booked
to play here this season whieh will be announced

One Tear Ago

year ago. It was a sad day in this comtrun*
iiy, but particularly aid inlwo of its families
almost next door neighbors. On the 21th
January, 1802, Mr. K. It. Wallace died, and
as the funeral cortege was preparing to move
the next day, the spirit of litt'e Arthur
Rodger took its flight to the eternal kingdom.
Dear little Arthur, lie was an affectionate
son and an obedient pupil, and a mutual
love existed between him and his teacher,
Prof. Morris >n. Roth are now in the spirit
land; and we are thinking of the sweet
greeting of the pupil when the spirit of his
beloved teacher entered the portals of heaven
and joined him in singing angelic praises
to the great "I am" around the Great Whiie
Throne.
