It is a little great marts of count for much, wears it worthi- ly it has a world of meaning. What is it? It means that eight and forty years ago there came into this liife a stern and stubborn duty, that he dared to face; that under the clar ion call of a newborn flag and with the tearwet kiss of mother, sis ter, wife, or all of them upon hi brave young lips ne left the com forts of his home to suffer hard ship, peril, and privation, to feel the bit terness of cold and wearinessl and hunger, to tread the lonely, shivering path of midnight picket with no com panions but the stars, to face the thunder of belching cannon and the music of hissing Mini.es, and to meet with lips. It vears. if need be a soldier's death no complaint upon his loyal means that during those four in infinite self-denial and su preme self-sacrifice, in loyal and sub lime devotion to patriotic duty, he reached a higher plane cf moral manhood than had ever touched his lite. It means that he, if any mortal could be, was wrorthy cf the glor ious Southern Womanhood who wrought with tireless fingers at their hearthstones or ministered with glad and willing hands in wayside homes or trod with angel step and angel heart the fevered aisles of ghostly hospitals, 'Where pain and death held cruel sway the radiant womanhood, Avhose patient heroism amid dread suspense that came between the! bat tle and the published list of slain and wounded, amid the wearing ag ony of a separation that seemed so endless, ajmid the weary wacthing for footsteps that never came again, glorified the lcnliness of their battle-shadowed homes. It means that he was part and par cel of that immortal "gray-clad host whose uncrowned valor won the; hom age of the wrorld, and that "through its shifting fortunes of victory and defeat" he fought beneath a flag whose crimson folds1 were never stair ed by cruelty or wrong-. It means companionship with glor ious John B. Gordon, whose hero heart and brave right arm mad him "the man of the 12th of May," and fellowship with Naithaaii Bedford Forrest the "Wizard of the Saddle," .whose untrained genius revolution ized the art of war. It means a bro therhood with Albert Sidney John ston, with Hill and Stuart and Long street, with Walker and Polk and Cleburne, with Hampton and Wheel er and Butler, with all that rad iant band of whose gleaming swords flashed always and only in the fore front of the battle. It means a com radeship with that strange, saintly .Continued on, Page Four. HORNER NOTES.

Mrs. Elizabeth Rhodes After Order ing Joe K'nton, Coloredf prom Premises Fires Into Him With a Load of Bird Shot and Wounded Man Dies in Twelve Hours. Joe Kintbn, colored, aged some where in the 40's, was shct and woun ded Sunday morning in Oak HO township by Mrs. Elizabeth Rhodes, the man dying about twelve hours af terwards, though he was supposed to be but slightly wounded and to be getting along nicely by the attend ing physican, lie. T. A. Royster. The snooting occurred about ten o'clock and was .witneeed by a daughter of the man, and three colored women, and Mrs. Rhodes brother. Mrs. Rhcdes 'had a hearing before Magistrate J. P. Stovall Monday, and was later admitted to bail under a bond of $1,000, and the trial will come up at the next term of court, justifiable homicide being the claim of the defense. So far as can be learned some of the colored people wihoi lived near where Mrs. Rhcdes resided with her four children, had been in the bab- ; it of making annoying references to acts of a worthless husband from whom, she had been separated for ma ny years, this resulting in Mrs. Eliz abeth Rhodes forbidding them to come on' her premises. On the morn ling of the sliooting, Kinton was driv- ! ing across, her land in a buggy .which contained besides himself, his daugh ter and another colored woman.Go ing out to meet him with her gun in her hand.Mrs. Rhodes told the trespasser to come no. further, but to turn around and leave. To this order he paid -no attention, but con tinued to drive straight towards her until lie got within 'about 15 steps ol! where she stood, when lie turned his buggy to one side and sprang out towards her. She then fired at him, the load cf bird shot striking the ne gro in the right hip. The report frightened the horse, but the man held to the reins until the animal was stopped, when he wras assisted into the buggy and driven to his ! home, which was near by upon a I ni.nAo i-t P Ion.-! .-tT-i rsrl r Aire Phnloc' brother, Mr. John Rogers.

Af ter picking out the shots, he left the patient in the belief that he j was not seriously wounded, his death that Sunday night about 12 hours af ter coming as quite a surprise. It had been currently reported, that Ki niton, in speaking of the order of Mrs Rhodes forbidding trespassers - upon her land, had said that he did not propose to pay any 'attention to wihat she said. The woman who did the shooting lives alone with her four children, the separation from her husband jhich took place about ten years a- ?0, being through no fault of hers. ghe bears a good reputation and is re latecl to ,peopfe of prominence in the county, and is said to have suffered through annoyances by some of the neighboring darkies. All indication point to the fact that the shooting was done in the belief that the deceased was advanc ing in a threaten irng manner, after having refused to leave when told.
