cotton in the low lands will suffer in con-

campment, but will send a squad. The

ice factory a little boy named Albert
Heinkle was dangerously shot in the
right side by little cQlored boy named
Peter Magbee. The shooting was alto

at Albert two or three times and said he
was going to shoot, and finally started of

brought-a sheaf of oats to our office Sat
urday that measured 50 inches in height
with we'll filled heads. He had three hills
in his farm springing from one seed each,
two of them having 50 full heads each,

heads and well filed with grain. Mr..
Watkins says that his oat crop for this
year produced 80 to 35 bushels per acre,

his own raising. for five years past, and
the land on which his crop was grown
this year was planted to oats last year.

near Sanford for the purpose of killing
the gambler, who, the murderer alleges,
had once shot him with a pistol. When

Sunday night an attempt was made to
enter the store of Taylor Il Stands, at
Bronson, by breaking open a window in the
rear of the building, but the parties were
frightened off before they accomplished
their purpose. On Tuesday night, how
ever, they tried in another quarter and
were more successful. Itseems tnat they
first tried to make an entrance into w.
j. EppersOn's store by boring out the
window fastenings, but failing to sue
coed, after having put several holes
/ through the shutters they tried the door
of h. V. C0arsey Il Co.'s store, where they
succeeded in effecting an entrance and
carried off between 5000 and $500 worth of
dry goods, clothing and shoes. There is
no clue as to who the parties were.
