Vicksburg Herald clipping

Smith, Haskin S.; Miscegenation

Claiborne county generally, and Port Gibson in particular, have been in an intense state of excitement for some time, growing out of the recent marriage of Haskins Smith with a white person, and his subsequent parading about the streets with an armed guard. Both parties appear to have been arming for the affray, but latest accounts appear more peacable. [Natchez Democrat, 18th.
