Andy Williford and Mark johnson,
both colored, reside OH Mr.. B. Frank
Craytons 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 homo and, It
seems, determined to bring the matter to
an end. Accordingly, after eating his
dinner, he took half-pint Of whiskey,
into which he had previously emptied
two-ou vial Of laudanum, and drank
about ono-third of tho 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 WAS mt work, discharged
tho contents Mt hiin. Johnson was not
hurt, only few shot penetrating the
skin. Since then WilIiford 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.
