SEMI-PASTE STAG PAINT
is an improved form of prepared paint of highest quality as to
materials and the skill and care with which the various ingredi
ents are put in combination. For second and third coats,
average work, thinning is required by the addition of an equal
quantity of linseed oil or turpentine, as the case may render
necessary—priming coats taking 1A to 2 gallons of thinning
liquid. It can bo used upon any kind of surface, and if applied
according to intelligent methods of painting, will prove as valu
able in wearing qualities and in appearance as paint can be
made to be. Stag Paint is warranted to be made of perfectly
pure materials, and to be absolutely free of all or any of the nu
merous forms of adulterations used in many paints. If found
different to this representation, we will forfeit the value of the
paint, and the cost of applying it in all instances.

DARK SCENES IN
MAYOR'S CURT.
General Break Loose Among
the City's Colored Citizens.
DUSKY BELLES FIGHT.
Colored Women In tbe ‘‘Cuban" DUtrlct
Contend for n Yellow Sport'* Affection*—
Wife ‘‘Slitpper" Fined-Severn! Addition*
Made to the Clmlngang.
Various ordinances of the city
council have been broken at a great
rate this week; the city treasury has
been replenished to the tune of sev
eral plunks and the chaingang is
now in a thriving condition on ac
count of daily additions being made
to it since last week.
Whether intoxicating anticipations
of the Glorious Fourth” caused this
sudden and general outbreak among
the dusky sons and daughters of
Ham, who inhabit this city, or
whether the extremely hot weather
of the last few days was conducive
to warlike desires aud general cuss
edness, it is not within the province
of man to know; but certain it is
that nearly every morning this week
the mayor’s court room presented an
appearance which was highly sugges
tive of a scene in darkest Africa.
The proceedings Tuesday morning
began with the trial of Will Mashaw,
a rantankerous individual of dark
complection, who had loaded up on
“mean liquor” and cavqrted around
in a manner that would have put to
shame a Texas cowboy with a full
supply of tanglefoot and a brace of
forty-fours. Will’s weapon was per
haps of a smaller calibre, but he nev
ertheless nourished it and its effect
on those who came in his way was
the same as though it had been a
cannon. Will finally brought up in
the jug and Mayor Littlejohn quell
ed his belligerent spirits by taxing
him twenty-five dollars or thirty
days on tbe gang. Will hadn’t seen
so much money in many a long day,
and did not have in his possession
the smallest part of that amount—
consequently the gang will be graced
by his presence for thirty long days.
The next case on Tuesday morn
ing’s docket was against a stag party
of young bucks who had been indulg
ing in a little private disorderly cou-
duct—said party consisting of Alec
Down, Will Jefferies, Davis Wilkins
andjTom Eskridge, and said conduct
being a kind of free-for-all fight
among themselves, where rocks were
the prevailing weapons. ,The case
was thoroughly investigated, and
though every one was perfectly inno
cent, according to his own tale, it
was found that one was about as
guilty as the others, with tbe excep
tion, perhaps, of Alec Downs, as he
seemed to be tbe ring leader. He
was fined seven-fifty or twenty-five
days on the streete, while the others
got off with two-fifty or fifteen days.
Alec, though, was able in some way
to plank down tbe plunks and secure
his release, while Will and Davis are
now expending their superfluous en
ergies in the service of the city.
Genie Montgomery had been guilty
of tbe very unwomanly conduct of
getting drunk, with the usual supple
ment of “disorderly” attached. Four
witnesses testified as to Genie’s un
ladylike behavior, and after an inves
tigation of the wbys and wherefores
of the case, she was assessed five dol
lars, but given tbe privilege of work
ing for a term of twenty-five days in
case she so prefered. She prefered,
however, not to work, and with the
usual good luck that always seems to
attend certain ones of her race at such
times, sbe paid tbe money.
Two white men were next brought
up Answer to a charge of disorderly
conduct against one ard carrying con
cealed weapons against tbs other.
One was dismissed and tbs other
fined twelve-fifty t>r twenty-five days
on tbs streets. He could not pay bia
fine and had to go to tbe gang.
Another caee of dleofderly conduct
brought two and a half dollari Into
the city treasury.
Yesterday morning Farrow Kirby,
Colored, who lives at Limestone, was
Up for having ”slapped”hl8 wife Tues
day night. The so*calied slapping con
sisted of a genteel thrashing which
brought forth cries and yells that dis
turbed the whole neighborhood
In court, Farrow’s wife claimed that
he only “slapped her once” and that
she just “cried a little,” and Farrow
told tbe same tale. Two other wit
nesses, both colored, testified to
about the same thing, and, according
to the evidence, the mayor could not
fine Farrow more than $2.&0, which
was paid—a dollar of it by bis wife.
Such occurrences arc common at
Limtitona with tbli iiqas coopji,
and while the disturbance of Tuesday
night was heard a half mile away,
there were no witnesses to testify to
that fact, and Farrow got off with a
light fine.
Glenn Tate, colored, was before the
mayor for failing to work the streets
after being notified by an officer. He
was fined five dollars for that and
will have to work the streets besides.
Tbe last case yesterday was
agaiost Malinda Smith, Anna Foster,
Teoa Smith and Nora Petty, four
dusky belies of the “Cuban” district
of the city, for fighting. Tbe fight
occurred about one Mendenhall Lip
scomb, a young pumpkin-colored
sport who seems to be quite a favor
ite among the colored females of the
city. It seems that one of these
maidens was monopolizing Menden
hall’s company while another one
wanted him and tried to call him
away. A fight soon started between
these two aspirants for his smiles and
favors, and the other two who were
mixed up in it joined in afterward?.
Mayor Littlejohn impressed upon
them very forcibly the error of their
ways, and stated that he could not
see what there was about Mendenhall
that was so attractive as to lead to a
fight for the possession of him, unless
it was his yellow cohr. He further
admonished them that they would
lose nothing by behaving themselves
in the future, and dismissed them
all except Anna Foster, upon whom
he imposed a fine of two dollars,
which was paid. It did not develop
which one finally succeeded in gain
ing possession of Mendenhall. He
took no part io tbe fight, but looked
on with an amused and self-satisfied
smile while it was in progress.
It is believed in Washington that
the next congress will abrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, unless Eng
land consents to a substitute satis
factory to the United States govern
ment.
