A Father Kills His Son.

Okolona Messenger: One of the most
hideous crimes it has ever been our lot to re-
cord was perpetrated last week in the north
western portion of Pontotoc county. The
circumstances, as stated to US by a gentleman
living in Pontotoc, are as follows: A man
named Albert Hardy, residing In the portion
of the county above alluded to, and his son
James, young man near twenty years OF
age, were blowing in the field. The mile
which James was driving became unruly, and
he jerked HIM and slapped him with the lines.
The father, who was at work some distance
away, commanded him to desist, which 1t
seems the son did not do instantly. This so
enraged the old man that he left his plow,
seized a single tree, and running up to his
son, struck him violent blow, from the ef-
feet of which death ensued in about three
hours. After being stricken down by the IN
human parent, before his death, the young
man recovered sufficiently to say, Father,
YOU have killed me-" The brute replied,
with an oath, That is what | intended to
do" Another painful fact connected with
this most brutal murder is that the justice OF
the peace before whom the preliminary trlal
was had admitted the murderer to bail IN the
sum of three thousand dollars, which amount
was deposited with the sureties ALBERT hardy
is said to have plenty of money! and the mis-
cradle feon Is now fugitive from Justice.

Savannah Cotton Report
We are indebted to the superintendent of
our cotton exchange for a copy of the Savan-
nah cotton exchange cotton report for the
month of June, as follows:
GeOrgid.-One hundred and sixteen replies
from htty-eIght counties: The weather, IN
some sections, has been the past month all
that could be desired; in portions, however,
there are complaints of too much rain. On
the whole, the season has been more favora-
ble than la t year. No damage has yet re-
suited from the rains, only the grass and the
plant grew of rather too luxuriantly. There
has been no increase or decrease IN lands
planted in cotton since last report The
stands are good and the plant blooming and
trultlng well. The condition OF the crop is
good and more promising than at this date
last year. Inc plant Is more forward, the
cultivation better, and the prospect of good
yield more cheering than last year.
FI0Yfda.-Twenty-sev replies from twelve
counties: The weather has been seasonable,
with perhaps too much rain in certain locali-
ties; no damage has resulted therefroSi how
ever, beyond making the work harder to clear
the fields of grass. The area OF land planted
in cotton remains about the same as IN last
report. Stands reported good, and the plant
blooming and fruitIng well. The crop is in
fine condition and looks better than at thu
perio1 last year-more forward and better
cultivated. In the Sea Island district the
condition of the plant is better than at this
time last year, though not so forward
