LAUGHING WHILE DYING.
Buena Vista Ca Argue.

Dueh@ 'isfN VA Hi6"S' Fltr T.
On Thursday last DIR. Edwards
was summoned to see Mrs. Swear
ingin, wife of MIR. Arch. Swearen>
gin. who lives about six miles above
Tazewell She was thought to be
dangerously sick by herself or her
family. DR.. Edwards found her sit
ting up in bed, talking and laughing
with her family and some friends
who were visiting her and she APP
peared to be unusually lively for a
sick person. Soon as he warmed
sufficiently he approached the bed
side of his patient, and, to his great
surprise, he discovered that Mrs.
Swearengiu, though sitting up laughs
ing and talking, was actually dying.
He gently informed her husband,
who could DOT realize the fact. He
thought the doctor vas mistaken.
DR.. Edwards prescribed for the jov-
ial woman aud | # her without lets
ting her know of her rapid dissolu-
ton. On his way home he met DR..
Hall, whom he asked to call and see
his patient, and aid her restoration if
possible. He too, decided that she
was dying. He left medicine, and
directions to apply blister at a Ger
tain lime, but before the time ar
rived she was dead. ts#

BLOOD Split.

We learn from private sources
that yesterday afternoon, late, oc>
Cured in our sister city, Forsyth. an
encounter between the Marshal of
the town and a citizen, in which
some shots were exchanged. 1t
seems that the trouble grew out of
the recent elections for Marshal.
The mGn elected lived outside the
corporate limits, and it was spoken
of by several that he had no right to
run, and that his election was illegal.
Ia the afternoon OF yesterday. the
topic was being discussed in front of
store, when the Marshal, happens
ing along, caught wind of a remark
and "took it up" A quarrel ensued
between the men who remarked"
and the Marshal, which finally grew
into a fierce combat with pistols.
They fired away at each other three
or four times APIECE, and succeeded
in woanding couple of bystanders
with their struggling bullets. After
the fight the Marshal, we understand,
got double barrel shot gun and de-
fed any five men TO "stand forth"
and meet him on the "bloody sands, !"
but they didn't ''stand FORTH" and
the victorious captain of the police
strolled leisurely home satisfied that
he did live in that town aud would
be Marshal or spoil large sized eff
fort trying. The wounded men are
not much hurt. - Griffin NesCS. ls
