Easter was observed in the
Methodist and Episcopal Church
es on Sunday., Both churches
were beautifully decorated and
were handsome testimonials of
the faithful work of the congre
gations. Rev. A. Coke Smith,
D. D., preached an able sermon
to a large congregation at the
Methodist Church in the morn
ing and, again, at night the
church was filled to overflowing
with those eager to hear his elo-
a uence. In the afternoon he
elivered a lecture to the Sun
day-school. At the Episcopal
Chapel, services were conducted
at night by Rev. W. A. Guerry.
The chapel was crowded and
Mr. Guerry’s sermon elicited the
very highest praise from the
Commissioners at their meeting
on Monday, and in accordance . .. _
therewith, the check in question , helds
was signed on that day:
“It has been pressed upon us
by certain citizens of the Coun

the ground of the unconstitu

present. It was delightful to
participate in such an occasion.

she had been steadily declining

expected so early a termination
of her beautiful young life. Sur
rounded by loving friends whose
happiness it was to minister to
her wants, loved and admired
by all who knew her for her gen
tle and winning manners, en
deared to those who knew her
best for her Christian character
and gentle disposition, she has
left us in the bloom of life and
entered into that rest which “re
maineth to the people of God.”
We sorrow-fully realize in her
death that “The fairest flowers
are first to fade.”
—A shooting scrape occurred,
on the 3rd inst., about 3 P. M.,
at Frank Murray’s fish bar, be
tween Dock O’Hara and Calvin
Stubbs, both colored. There are
always two sides to such affairs
and we can only give what
seems to be undisputed. It seems
that Dock O’Hara took a fish
out of the hole in the ground,
where the fishing company plac
ed the fish as they caught them
in the seine until there should be
a division. Dock was ordered
to put it back. This he refused
to do and cursed Calvin Stubbs,
who had given the order, very
violently. Calvin offered to give
up his pistol and fight a fair
fight, but Dock swore he would
not take his fist to a nigger.
However there was no fight and
the seines made another round
or so. Calvin then demanded
an apology of Dock for the curs
ing he had given him (Calvin).
Dock replied that he had cursed
white people in the same way
and he had never given an apol
ogy and would not to a nig
ger and that his way was to frail
—r— out of him and, suiting the
action to tho word, ho reached
back and got a pole some six or
seven feet long and advanced
on Calvin, who had thrown his
hand to his hip to draw his pis
tol, he slashed him several times
across the head and Calvin fired
and retreated to the river and
attempted to fire again, Dock
following him to and into the
water, slashing him over the
head with the pole. Here it was
that Calvin fired and broke
Dock’s wrist. Dock then let go
the pole and Calvin beat him
over the head with his pistol.
Dock finally retreated and laid
down saying: “You have let
Dock shoot me.” It was not
known then that he was shot'in
the bowels. Calvin escaped.
Dock O’Hara is disposed to be
fussy, especially when drinking,
and curses both white and black
and whips the young bucks when
ever he gets in the humor.
Apart from this, however, he is
very much liked and often em
ployed by the people here. Self-
defence is the pea of Calvin, and
is for the most part admitted by
those who witnessed the affair.
No arrest has yet been made.
Dock is kept under the influence
of chloroform and there is little
