The Young People's Missionary So ciety of St. John's Methodist Church held its annual Easter meeting last Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock, and throughout the exercises were most interesting, consisting of recitations and music.

Three prizes had buen 'Offered to tho children col lecting the largest amounts during the year in their mite boxes, and these were awarded to Masters Harold Payue and Paul Pearson and Miss Ella Sue Jones. Some time ago a man was explaining how juries aro drawn, and possibly, also, slightly intending to apologize for himself, never having been honored to be drawn as u juror. As he proceeded with this explanation he said men fail ed to sit on the jury because thoy wero not subscribers to their County paper, for, said he, they go to tho list o ' tho men who take the newspaper, to get a list of all the mon in tho County, and accordingly tho name of any man who doesn't happen to be taking the paper is not seen. Now, such ignorauce even of such small things as how a jury is drawn is quite characteristic ot only the class who do not keep up with the up-to-date newspaper, nod probably the County officers would do botter to sometimes go to tho list of newspaper . subscribers than to the general poll list. Moral: Subscribe tor Tin: INTKLI.IGKN cait and keep posted, and look at your neighbor square and fair with tho eye of intelligence and tho face of honesty. Ca.'.snr Jenkins aud Sam Penunie, two negro convicts at A. T. Newell's stock ade, got into n dispute over a pair of pants last Saturday afternoon, when tho former attempted to kill the latter with a shovel, and would probably have succeeded had not tho gourd came up and threatened to shoot Jenkins if he did not move on and drop his shovel. Arriving at the stockade tho convict hogan cursing tho guard, threatened to kill both he and Penunie, and it wan with some, trouble that he was pluced inside tho stockade. He continued cursing tho guard, pulled a knife which he had concealed and threatened to kill Penunie during the night. The other convicts confined in the same stockade with Jenkins were brought ont and occupied other quarters that night, leaving Jenkins by himself. Next morning Messrs. A. T. and W. S. Newell went to the stockade and all the convicts came cut to bre^fast ex cept Jenkins, who was in the rear with a large pitch fork and refused to come | out. A. T. Newell took a shotgun, loaded with small shot, and with W. S. Newell, entered the stockade and com manded the negro to come ont. He again refused. W. S.
