A CARD.
I cannot reconcile it to myself to let the
canvass pass by, without calling-the attention
of the people to the great injustice done me
on the eve of the election; reports were busily
circulated in the Southern portion of the coun
ty, that I was for dividing the county ; also,
it was constantly told in various parts of the
county that I was in favor of taxing* the peo
ple to build Railroads; both of which is un
true. I was also held responsible for the cir
culars, containing W. S. Brown’s certificate
and extract from the Little Rock Gazette,
which made its appearance in Caroline Town
ship on Saturday before the election. I had
nothing whatever to do with getting it up, the
first I knew of it, one was handed to me at
Atlanta, some newspapers ana lowtlung Bun
kum, Wire Workers, seem to take the respon
sibility of saying what they please of a man
^because he is a candidate. Sneek behind and
cowardly attack with the tongue; misrepresent,
: insult and traduce his character. No gentle
man will offer insult unnecessarily, if done
ought to be discountenanced by good citizens,
it is poorly worth ones while that wishes to
live in peace, unjustifiably by the law to get
into troublesome difficulty, on account of
the slanderous longue ot fool hardy, reckless,
false-brave imposters upon society. I beg leave
to return my sincere thanks to many warm
friends for the deep interest they have taken in
my behalf.

August 9, 1860.
Editor Citizen—Dear Sir:—As errone
ous impressions are abroad with regard to the
bloody transaction at the Muster ground, in
this township, on the 28th ult., in which my
son-in-law. Jehn T. Bland and Samuel Shoe
maker were killed; justice to the living as
well as the memory of the dead, demand a true
statement of the case, which is herewith sub
mitted. I wish to do no one injustice but let
the truth be spoken if the heavens fall. Sam
uel Shoemaker and John Percifull were fight
ing. Enoch Jarvis. (Constable,) called to the
bystanders to separate them. Bland obeyed the
summons and sprang between the parties, and
saved Shoemakers life by warding off a blow
aimed at him by Percifull with a knife. Somo
time after Shoemaker and Percifull were en
gaged again, Bland caught Shoemaker and pull
ed him off from Percifull. begging him at the
same time to make friends with Percifull. but
no sooner was Shoemaker released than he
turned upon Bland and struck him in the face,
Bland parried the blows at first, but found it
necessary to fight to defend himself, which
he did; they were soon separated and Bland
walked off and left Shoemaker.
Shortly after, Wm. S. Deadman went to
Bland and told him he ought to go and make
friends with Shoemaker, Bland replied thathe
thnnorht he had best not eo about him, as
Shoemaker wes drunk, that he hdd nothing
against the man, but that as Shoemaker was
drinking and had hurt him severely, he thought
proper to avoid him. and he did so.
Deadman left Bland and went to Shoemaker,
“had a long talk with him,” and while they
were talking, Shoemaker discovered Bland at
some distance preparing to leave the ground,
he instantly sprang to his feet and “made tit
jBland,” and was in such a rage that he fought
furiously all who tried to stop him. Bland see
ing no alternative left but to fight or run,
faced his foe and warned him not to advance
oi he would shoot him. Shoemaker heeded not
the warning, but rushed on—Bland “backed
some distance,” still warning'Shoemaker—but
all to no purpose, when Shoemaker was almost
within reach, Bland shot him with his rifle
gun ; in a moment after, Deadman seized a
shot gun and shot Bland in the back. Bland
fell without seeing or knowing who was his
murderer. Some of the parties in this affair
were intoxicated, but Bland was not; it is
further stated that Bland refrained from shoot
ing as long as he could avoid it. He came to
his death by trying to make peace, “blessed
are the peace makers.” “An honest man is
the nobest work of God,” such in its broadest
sense was John T. Bland; he was a native of
Tennessee—twenty four years of age—had
been married about two months; was a kind
affectionate husband, and was universally es
teemed by all who knew him, he leaves a dis
consolate widow and a host of friends to
mourn his fate.
