Jerssy Stock Farms, numbering about
ons hundred head, tgsethet With the
Hambletonian and fercEoton hotses,
mares and colts which are owned and
bred in the surrounding counties. These
number about as many as the Jerseys.
Besides there will be exhibited hogs and

Andy Williford and Mark Johnson,
both colored, reside on Mr.. B. Frank
Crayton's plantation, near the city. For
some time past they have not been the
best of friends. last Monday morning
they met and had quarrel. After sep
arating, Williford went home and, it
seems, determined to bring the matter to
an end. Accordingly, after eating his
dinner, he took half-pint of whiskey,
ipto which he had previously emptied
two-ounce vial of laudanum, and drank
about one-third of the mixture. He then
bade his mother goodbye, telling her
that he would never eat another meal in
her house. Taking double -barreled
shot. gun he went out into the field, and,
creeping up into plum thicket near
where johnson vas at work, discharged
the contents at bin. Johnson was not
hurt, only few shot penetrating the
skin. Since then Williford has disap-
peared, and nothing has been heard OF
him, although his family and the officers
of the law have been searching for him.
1t is believed that he drank the lauadnum
with suicidal intent and that he is dead.
