A Shooting Scrape.
Arthur Willard, shot and it is
thought mortally wounded Andrew
Gist, colored, Tuesday. The particulars,
as near as we can gather at
present aro about as follows: Andrew
Gist, with his mother are tenants
on Mr. Willard's land and they
aro cropping on shares. They had
bjen gathering the corn crop Monday
) and dividing it into two piles, and
Tuesday while Mr. Willard was gathc ringsome
corn of his own, Andrew Gist
got a wagon from Mr. Sanford Wilburn's
place, where ho was going to
move for the next year and went to
Willard's and began hauling his share
of the torn away. Mr. Willard
learning of this followed tho negro
and told him to take the corn back
as he would not allow him to move
any of it until the lien was paid and
i final settlement had. Tho negro
cursed and said he would show hiin
whether ho would move it or not; hot
words ensued, and tho negro reached
his hand behind him as if going for a
pistol. When ho did so Willard shot
him thrpe times, onco in tho wrist.
once in the hip and once in the bowels;
the last shot severing the intcstirus,
it is thought that tho negro
cannot recover. Willard has been
a "rested and put in jail pending the
result of the negro's wound.
A Mascott.
We have .ceen and heard of masco'.ts
in the shape of goats, dogs, hogs, inon1
keys. etc., but Mr. W. F. Waters, tlie
: traveling salesman for the i>o;)ular Post
Horn Cigar, who is traveling over this
territory in company with our old friend,
, that well known and popular salesman
1 Tom Lipscomb, has picked up a masI
eott, who simply takes the rag off the
( bush. It is a little muscular and well
formed negro of some six summers, who
1 is as bright and intelligent as many kids
- twice his age. lie is some inches over
f three feet tall, has a strong voice, and
r. calls himself the Rev. Galloway Williams.
' lie is as full of mischief as an egg is full
of meat, and he at once attracts a crowd
of the small fry and many grown people
i around him everywhere he stops, by his
? witty remarks. lie has a sharp and
ready answer for all, and will mount a
e box and preach in an earnest and mirth
\ provoking manner to the crowd for half
c an hour, talking hard sen^e all the time,
iinil can lv> liparit Imlf a h1r?r>W
y lie takes off the country negro
i. preacher to perfcection. IIo is from
* Spartanburg or Lauren*, and Mr.
Waters and Mr. Lipscomb tako him
with them 1o the best hotels, lnve
dressed him up in a handsome suit and
will present him with a beaver. lie
s takes tip a collection on his own account
occasionally and has appointed Tom his
" treasurer, counting out his nickles and
turning them over to the treasurer
0 'or safe keeping. The little fellow is
having a picnic and is living like a tlghting
cock with these gentlemen, who are
n having scads of fun with him. They
* tliink a lot of their mascott and he will
't fare well with them. II? is certainly a
winning card. Mr. Waters says ho is
it going to take him to Chicago with him.
i- We predict that lie will hive more fun
t with him than he wou'd enj >y at the

ting Itim with the beautiful loving
cup, contributed by citizens of the coing

conducted in the spacious rooms of the
Marion libraiy.
Mrs. Blue received her husband's enthusiastic
friends with a graeiousness
?nd suuvrty that charmed all who had an
opportunity of paying their respects, and
the gratified recipients of hergiacetul acknowledgements
withdrew from her

Illustrious achievements.
PLANTS
Natural plants perpetuated?that is tho fairest discription of them.
Heat, cold, rough handling, they will stand anything, is is perfectly plain
that even the'best of the imitations cannot compare with them, for theso
are the real, live natural plants caught in their fullest bloom and beauty,
and made immortal. It is an established and generally accepted fact that
of all articles used for decorative purposes there is nothing as handsome or
can add greater charm to a well furnished home than graceful drooping
palms and tropical nlants. likewise for church, hotel, lodee or ball room.
studio, milliuory* uud dressmaking parlor, or interior store nnd window
decorations wherever it is sought to give a charming effect. But the extreme
difficulty of maintaining the growing plant in the adverse atmospherio
and climatic conditions common to the greater part of tho country haa
been an unsolvable problem to admirers of these handsome specimens of
tropical plants, the consequence being that heretofore they have been seen
almost exclusively in conservatories where their true value as decorations
can never bo appreciated. To cultivate these plants in their native tropical
home is simply a mutter of nature, but every effort of the greatest botanical
students of recent years has been exerted in the direction of devising or
discovering a method whereby these delicately nurtured palms, plants, ferns
and grasses could be either more hardily cultivated or treated after growth
in such manner as would insure their endurance of all climatic changes
without actually keeping them in hot houses. The process of treating theso
plants is still a secret of the discoverer, nnd we have pleasure in showing
a line of these goods in this city. Seo display at our store. Prices extremely
moderate.
