The prospect for fine crops in Attala
county was never better than now.
True we have had a little too much
rain, but that has done us no material
injury as vet. Our citizens have acted
wisely by planting plenty of grain
There will be more cotton produced in
Attala county this year than during
any previous year, provided we get a
good stand, and the ides of January,
1867, will find our people in a pros
porous condition considering every
thing.-National Star.

A personal difficulty occurred or
the plantation Of Maj Watt Hairstol
on Tuesday, between Theophilus Da
Wis and Lafayette Hunter, in which
the latter was killed Mai. Hairstof
had engaged the services Of Hunter on
his plantation, and he was living witt
him as a tenant, with an agreement
that Maj. H. should furnish his family
with provisions during the year It
seems a few days ago that Maj. II.
sent word to Davis, his Overseer, not
to let Hunter have any more corn.
Hunter said he would hold Hairson
to his contract He was warned by
the overserr not to go to the cribs;
the overseer had also remarked to the
negroes If they wanted to see him
kill Hunter, to watch when he should
come after corn" That evening
Hunter went to the crib, obtained
bag of corn, and when leaving, was
shot through the heart by Davis, be
ing killed instantly. We have not
learned why Maj. Hairston refused to
let the man have any more corn, nor
what cause or motive prompted Davis
to kill him Hunter leaves a wife and
five children.-COlumbus Index.
