Mysterious Disappearance.

IVA
Sanford Journal.
A young man by the name of c. /.
Simns, about eighteen years of age, came
to Sanford last Thursday morning from
Headland, Ala. He wished to visit his
sister, Mrs. A. A. Poindexter, who re-
sided at Sylvan Lake. As he could not
obtain a CONVEYANCE, he walked out to
Sylvan Lake, and was met by Mr.. Poin-
dexter. who told him that his sister was
very i'll, and it was not advisable for
him to see her, and as he could not ac-
co,nnodate him at his house, he took
him to the house of neighbor, Mr..
Warren, where he spent the night. Mr.
Garner, who owns some property IN the
neighborhood, also spent the night with
Mr.. Warren, who had formerly been his
agent The next morning, Friday, Mr..
Garner invited Mr.. Simms to walk over
to Mr.. Haggard's with him. where ne
was boarding, and he would show HIM
his grove and lands. The invitation was
accepted and they walked over to Mr..
Haggard's, where they took dinner ana
walked over the grove. About 2. M,
Mr.. Simms started back to Mr.. Poindex-
ter's, about three miles distant, where he
had left his yalise, since which time he
has not been seen or heard from. At first
foul play was suspected, but as there was
no possible motive and no evidence, not
even circumstantial, to warrant such a
conclusion, it has given way to the gen
eral impression that he got lost and wan
dered into the swamp, and probably per-
ished from exhaustion and starvation.
1t is now five days since he disappeared
and not the slightest clue has been dis
covered. The search will be continued
to-day.
Two Of the searching party met with
quite a serious accident. Mr.. Warrer
and Sam Brown, a colored man We're III
