FELL DEADIN HIS HOUSE.
Tragic End of a Negro at Halcyondale
Waiting for His Dinner.


Waiting for His Dinner.
HALcYoNDALE, GA, June 24-Frlday
about noon, Anderson Branan (colored) fell
dead in his house. The cause is unknown
AS usual be came from his field, where he
had been blowing all day, fed his mule and
went in his house and lay on his bed await
ing for his dinner to be prepared. Edward
Branan, a cousin of Anderson, was passing
and heard him shrek as he jumped from
his bed. His wife, who was in the kitchen,
ran toward the house, and she and Edmund
reached him about the same time. He
breathed but few times after they reached
him. II. r. Kemp, the coroner, held an
inquest. DIR. S. w. Minis assisted by DIR.
James L. Hull. both of Sylvania, made
post morten examination.
DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
The only verdict that could be reached
was that he came to his death by some
natural cause unknown to the jury.
Several months ago Anderson was shot
by Constable Marsh while Mr.. Marsh was
making levy on Anderson's property. The
ball made only a flesh wound, but the
friends and relatives of Anderson seemed
to think that he came to his death from the
effects of the pistol shot. The ball when
found had not been the least battered, aud
the doctors say it did not strike any vital
part, having lodged in the f1eshy part of
the neck, just under the skin.
There was great dissatisfaction among
the negroes when the verdict was first rem
dered, but they seem satisfied now.

name, was not to be put off in this way He
gained access to the place where the rabid
dog was, boldly barred his arm, and ex-
posed it to the dog. The animal immedi-
ately bit a piece of flesh out of the rash
mans arm. The dog died In convulsions

named Maggie, the wife of LeeSiugleton, and
meetiIg at her house the old man beat his
son very ably with stick. The son went
home and got his gun and returning to
Maggies gave his father the c'utents of
both barrels. Fortunately the barrel
loaded with buckshot missed its
mark, but that charged with bird shot
brought the old man down, the load enter
ing nis breast. The younger Green made
his escape, but colored posse are out hunt
ing flr him. Old Gree is a p.omiaent
member of the colored church in his neigh
born God and much indignation is felt by
the colored population at the unfilial con-
duct of his son.
BOY DROWNED.
A colored boy named Sandy Wilson was
drowned on Saturday at Capt. Schegel-

Salt for Moths.

According to the Philadelphia
Press, salt is the best exterminator
for moths. The nuns in one of the
hospital converts have tried every
thing else without success, and their
experience is valuable, as they have
so much clothing of the sick who 60
there, and strangers, when dying
there, often leave quantities of cloth
ing, etc. They had room full of
feathers, which were sent there for
pillow-making, and they We're in
dispair, as they could not eXtermi-
nate the moths, until they were
advised to try common salt. They
sprinkled it around and in a week or
ten days they were altogether rid of
the moths. They are never troubled
now. In heavy velvet carpets, sweep
ing them with salt cleans and keeps
them from moths, as particles of salt
remain in the carpets and corners.
Salt is not hurtful to any one and has
no bad smell. Here is a little hint /
add, which perhaps, every one does
not know: For cleaning wash basins,
ETC., use the same thing-com-
mon dry salt. Rub a little of the
salt with your fingers on the basin.
Often a sort of scum is noticed in the
basins in a marble washstand in the
bathroom; the salt takes it off easily
and leaves the basin shining and
clean.
