Deaths Mt SeXierNiIIe.

SENiEKNILLE, Tenn, Feb. ~.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: We are having
Il series of sickness and several deaths in
our county. One day last week a man by
the name of Branson Fox went out in the
morning to make rails feeling as well
as usual when he left home, and after max
ing several very suddenly took i'll and died
before sunset. He leaves n wife and several
children and many friends to mourn his
loss.
Mr. Harrison Howard died about the
12th, of consumption. He was gallant
soldier, belonging to the Second Cavalry
United States Army Mr.. Dennis Thomas
also died on the 18th inst, of d-opsy.
On the morning of the 10Th inst, at 20
minutes past O'Clock, Mrs Sarah Catlett
the wife of Maj. Jas. Z. Catlett, died of
consumption. She was one of the best
women in all the country, good wife, n
good mother, and the best of all, good
Christian. She leaves n husband, five chill
dren and many warm friends tomourn her
loss. But the best of all is she leaves a
bright evidence Of being gone to better
world than this.
A very SHORT time before she died she
called her family around her bed side-told
them she was almost gone, but not to
gr,eve after her, but she wanted them all
to meet her in Heaven. She then took
each one by the hand and babe them fare
well until they would meet in eternity.
She was buried to-day at Shiloah and was
followed to her last resting place by large
procession of friends. J. W. A.

ILICIT DISTILLING.
Revenue OmciaI Fired on-Fnmily Feud.

ReVehue Omclai hlreu On-Hnmily Eeuus
Early in this month Revenue officer
Jones, who collects stamps in the parts of
North Carolina adjoining Johnson county,
Tennessee, was fired on by a bush-whacker
while passing over the Beech mountains.
He was walking and leading his horse at
the time and the man shot at him from the
rear, the ball striking his horse in the
shoulders, of which wound he soon died.
Jones escaped down the mountain,
jumping fifteen feet at a time. The noun
. tains of North Carolina are full of elicit
distillcries and the owners of them are
very bold. Wilkes county, North Carolina,
has more stills in it than milch cows. In
fact, we heard man say that the people
over there eat their mush with brandy the
same as with milk. The Wilks distillers
sell their spirits to any buyer and
insure them safe out of the country,
On Thursday, the Goth, a severe family
feud took place on the Laurel peninsula
between the families of John Gentry and
William Arnold. The Centres and Ar
nolds were running out n tract of land at
n certain place, and the lines intruded on
Gentry's side too far, when q dispute arose
between the men. They came to blows,
or rather to Jobs" and thumps, for when
Gentry faced Arnold, the latter plunged a
handful of sharpened pegs into his face
points foremost. These pegs were being
used to stake Off the ground. At that
moment Arnold No. >. thumped Gentry n
couple of blows in the back nearly killing
him. Then Gentry, No. >, attacked Ar
mold, No. ., and they had n severe fight.
Arnold, No. ., struck his man above the
left eye cutting cash in the skull or rath-
eI sinking the broken piece into his head.
The set-to ended at that. Arnold, No. .,
fed to the pines, while the Centres were
conveyed home and doctor summoned,

TO lockjaw, and was apparently effected in
every part of the body; the nerves twitch-

McTeer's, while in others it is very differ

stricken with paralysis on one side, the
