The frisky snuff drummer was in town this week. Mr. G. H. Fox and family are visiting relatives at Westville this week. Dr. Walter Weathersby of Bismarck was a welcome visitor yesterday. Notice the changed advertisement of Messrs. Wm Atkinson & McDonald. The charming Miss Bessie Butler visited Mrs. Dr. Bishop in our city this week. Dr. W. F. Ferrill of Columbia was a visitor to our town the latter part of last week. Rev. R. J. Boone will preach at the Baptist church next Sunday evening at 3:30 o'clock. We are glad to see Mrs. G. W. Garrett at her millinery shop again after a rather protracted illness. Special attention is directed to the change in the advertisement of Messrs. Lampton Bros & Rawls Co. A good many of our townspeople speak of attending the concert at Silver Creek tomorrow evening. We are informed that the exercises will begin promptly at 8 o'clock. The Pearl River News comes to us with the program of the Sunday Convention to be held at Clear Springs church, in this county on the "1st and 2d of April", but as the News always get here behind time, we will have to save the program for next week. Are you sure you've got the right dates, Bro. News? The Negro Jim Smith, who was placed in jail last Thursday by Sheriff Lee on the charge of killing Amy Smith, the Negro woman who was spoken of in our last issue, as being killed by an unknown party, or parties, 12 miles south of this place on the 14 inst., had a preliminary hearing before Justices H. T. Wilson, and J. M. Polk at this place last Saturday and released, the evidence not being sufficient to hold him. At the Coroner's inquest it was thought enough facts had been brought out to cause imprisonment, but the testimony was somewhat changed at the justice court and the Negro was discharged. Such crimes as these should not go unpunished, and the next grand jury should cause the fullest investigation to be instigated.
