I staid all night with my old friend
and army comrade, W. 11. Sanders,
who I find is the same jolly, good
fellow he was in the sixties. "Bill"
is an encyclopedia on war records.
He gave a lot of his rich jokes, escapes
and other reminiscences which
I propose (when convenient) to put
in print for the benefit of our readers.

Cross Keys News,
Sorry indeed to hear of the unfori
tunate occurrence iust across the
Tyger last week. Mr, Arthur Willard,
a more quiet nan cannot be
found in the county, a man with an
interesting little family who attends
to his own business, a regular attendant
at church, endeavoring to bring
his little ones up i
of the Iidfcd; to ba placed inwtrch
circumstances, and you might say
forced to take human life is certainly
a sad picture. A statesman once
said, (I believe it was Thos. Jefferson)
"that no two races oould live
together."
It seems that this prophecy is
coming true, and the sooner the inferior
race learns that it will not do
to cross the path of the pure Anglo
Saxon race, the better it will be for
them. The North may send down
their emisaries and carry the Martyrs
to Boston for exhibition to keep up
that strife, and thereby show their
eternal hatred to the South, and cry
out, that we are one as much as they
please, but no one with any knowledge
of past events will believe one
word of it. I give the Repqbljcan
party the credit for every homicide
that )Q committed in this Southland
of ours. If they will let us alone,
and keep their mouths forever closed
I believe that the day weuld not be
far distant when homicide and rape
would cease, and that the sons of
Ilara would learn to be contented in
their lot
There is considerable sickness in
our midst. Mr. J. A. ltetsill is quite
ill at this writing, hope to report
him convalescent very soon. lie is
one of our best citizens and we ar<
extremely anxious for his final ro
