“Announcements.”—We place the can
didates for office at the August election, under
their proper head. Messrs. W. E. Raulston
and Wm. A. Plunkett are out for Sheriff,
W.M. H. England, Esq., for re-election to
the Clerkship, and John H. Qcisenuf.rry,
Esq., for Representative.
gy We regret to learn that a negro man,
belonging to Col. C. Jno. Davie, was seriously
injured last evening by a wagon running over
him. He was taken to the office of Dr.
Neel, and is now under the treatment of that
gentleman.
The recent change in firms, and sell
ingout of interests by many of our old mer
chants and business men, has led us to enquire
who is the oldest merchant now doing busi
ness. After careful investigation we have
Found the man, it is no more nor less than the
iudomnitable and energetic John H. Quisen
berry. He is not only doing business now,
but he intends to “keep moving along,” as his
advertisements in our columns fully proclaim.
Q. has a full stock on hand, and intends sup
plying himself with an extra Spring and
Summer supply. Success to trade—and es
pecially to those who “do not hide their light
under a bushel,” but advertise in the Citi
zen, and thereby make the important fact
known that they sell good articles, cheap ar
ticles, and are always receiving their custo
mers with a complacent smile. Advertising
will make both merchant and customers good
humored.
W. B. Crocker Sl Co.—We have inadvert
ently neglected to notice this new firm, who
have but recently established themselves in
Des Arc, as wholesale and retail Grocers,
dealers in Hardware, and all articles usually
found in similar establishments. They have
erected a commodious building in a central
location, «nd we are pleased to observe the
industry and energy which they exhibit in
their prompt attention to business. In the
purchase of cotton and other products, they
take hold in good earnest, just as though thej
were used to hard work and not ashamed ol
it. We are pleased at all times to notice the
increase of mechanical and mereantili
branches in our midst, especially by thosi
who come among us practicing the wholesoim
doctrine of “living and letting live.” Tin
days of mercantile monopoly, in Des Arc
have passed away, and we are heartily glac
of it.

Fire—Residence Burned. — The largi
Frame house on the Pitman farm, one mill
South of town, was entirely consumed by fin
at an early hour yesterday morning. Geo. R
Ounrlac TT c n Ha A loacod the farm for thi:
year, and was occupying the house, with hi:
family. He saved but a small portion of hi:
household goods—his loss is near $600. Th*
house was valued at $1500. This loss fall
upon the Pitman estate. The fire is suppose*
to have originated-from a stove in the shed
room. The wind blowing from the South
alone saved the-kitchen and out-houses fron
destruction.
Mail Robbery, etc., at Clarendon.—W
learn that Micajah S. Boatner was recent!
arrested at Clarendon for abstracting mone
from a letter addressed to G. G. Evans, Phila
delphia. Boatner was Postmaster at th
time. He was tried and held to bail in th
sum of $580, and attempted to escape with
out the knowledge of his securities. A wri
was then issued against him for embezzlin
from W. L. Dogan; upon which process h
was re-arrested at Aberdean, and on bein
brought back to Clarendon, his securities gav
him up and he was committed to jail. On th
night of the ‘28th ult., he broke jail and mad
his escape. He is about 25 years_of age. wi

he was in the employ of W. L. Dogan, Esq

car, was selling groceries iu Clarendjn, wh1
his brother was arrested. At first he admil
ted that he (J W. Boatner) stole the money

No doubt his admission was to try to cast th
charge off from his brother. He is suppose
to have stolen goods from Dogan. and left fo
fear of being arreated. He is about 21 year
of age, low statue, light hair and very thi

A FROWN* NT CITIZEN Of MEM
PHIS *HOT DFAD.
Mr. James L Webb, of the Firm of Webl
Sr Rawlings, Cotton Factors, Shot anc.
Instantly Killed by Thomas B. Mynatt
Deputy Sheriff.
We learn through the Memphis paperi
of Saturday, that on the evening previous,
about five o'clock, near the corner of Mair
and Union streets, a difficulty occurred
between Mr. James L. Webb and Mr,
Thomas B. Mynatt, which resulted in the
death of Mr. Webb. The Memphis Ar
gus says:
Mr. Webb was standing on the pavement in
conversation with a Mr. Goldberger, when
Mr. Mynatt come up, and Mynatt and Webb
commenced a conversation. Soon after, Mr.
Goldberger, Dr. C. W. Bryan, and Mrs. Sweet,
heard Mr. Webb remark that a certain thing
/'tVin nnfsiva r\ f ur h i oh 111 Air morn line KIa fo
hear) was “not so, and whoever asserted it,
was a liar.” Mr. Mynatt replied that “it
was so,” when Mr. Webb called him “a d—d
liar.” Mr. Mynatt then struck Mr. Webb in
the face with his fist, after which a slight
scuffle ensued between the parties; Mr. Webb
retreating and appearing to be endeavoring to
defend himself. At this juncture Mynatt re
ceded a few paces and drew a Colt’s repeater
from his pocket. Upon this movement Webb
said that he (Mynatt) was “a coward and
dare not shoot,” when Mynatt raised hie pis
tol. Those who witnessed the affair, being in
range of the pistol, stepped to one side and
did not see the firing, but in a moment the
report of a pistol was heard and Mr. Webb
fell to the pavement a dead man. The ball
struck him just below the right temple be
tween the point of the check bone and articu
lation of the jaw; passing down and lodging
in the base of the brain. An incision was
discovered in the top of his head extending
along the skull for nearly two inches, sup
posed to have been made by striking his head
upon a stone pier. Mr. Mynatt immediately
surrendered himself to an officer and was lodged
in jail.
Mr. Webb was about forty-five years of age,
had resided in Memphis for upward of twenty
years, during which time he had been active
ly engaged in business. He was one of the
most prominent and respected citizens, an
active, enterprising business man, and univer
sally loved and esteemed for his many social
qualities. He leaves a wife and eight or nine
children to mourn his death.
Mr Mynatt has resided in Memphis for
many years, is well and favorably known,
served one term as City Marshal, and at the
time of, or a short time previous to this sad
affair, was Deputy under Sheriff Smith. He
has a family residing in the city.
