AN ARRAY ON Cross LAKE.-4n affray came of
last week on Cross lake between some white and
lot of yagrant negroes in which negro killed
and another wounded The first reports which reached
this city greatly exaggerated and caused consd
cradle alarm. The sheriff at once proceeded to the
spot to investigate the matter. 1t that some
twenty five or thirty negro families have settled in the
neghborhood Of the lake and live by killing stock.
An old man by the name OF Heath, missing some hogs
instituted search and found one Of the dead in the
negro settl emeDt The negroes became exasperated
at Heath fer simply claiming his hog, and fell upon
him and beat him most numerically. BY this time
other white naeH came up and the fight became gen
eral, which resulted above stated. When the sher
if arrived all quiet, and he had trouble in ar
resting all the white men painted out by the negroes
In fact most Of them when they found themselves ac-
cused voluntarily gave themselves up. Some fifteen
or twenty implicated by the negroes, and they
brought before Justice AL en- last Saturday for
trial AL but six or eight Of them we're able to prove
abb and we're discharged. The others bound
over to appear the next of the District Court
It was simply hog killing affair and the negroes and
hogs got the worst of it. .--

the week previous still too much water fell for the
good OF the cotton crop. The worms still about,

of last week stu holds good as far developed. To
be sure another week has been added to the age Of
the worm, but the evil effects are not yet apparent
