ridian Oil mill at Hsysville. was shot
and killed to-day by A. ]. Jobhs-
The cause Of the trouble Is not

rival mills.
E W. MeCerren, special agent for
the Liverpool, London and Globe fire
insurance company was here Monday
making diagram of the A. 4 NJ. Col
lege and writing more insurance for
it. We are glad to know that Gen. Lee
has been, as is generally the case, 50
prompt in attending to the insurance
of the College property that was not
insured.-Citizen.
While differing from our esteemed
contemporary, the Greenville Times,
on the question Of Constitutional
Convention, the Gazette nevertheless
admires its candor, its clear and defin-
ed position, aud the fairness with
which 1t treats the subject aud discns-
ses the uticrances ex-senator Walthall,
who, as is known, is opposed TO the
holding Of such Convention.-Ray-
mond Gazette.
Mr.. S. c. English received, last week,
large shipment Of Pine Straw Bag
ging from North Carolina. We went
over to the depot and examined it. II
Ia decidedly handsome, but rather dark,
so that we apprehend there will be
some difficulty in marking it plainly.
We fear too that it will not bear the
hooks even so well as bagging made Of
cotton. And then too, We doubt If the
annual crop of straw win be sufficient
to meet the needs Of Gotten producers.
Nevertheless let 1t have thorough
trial.-Southern Reporter
On Thursday evening Of last week
Mr.. A. M. Taylor loaded his fat boat
with 53 bales of cotton, expecting to
float IL to Yazoo City the next morn
ing. During the night the Katie Rob
bins passed down, and the waves COM
ing against the fiat, thirteen bales we're
dumped into the river. Reloading the
next morning, Mr.. Taylor found that
his boat was aground, and trying to
shove 1t of dumped thirteen more
bales. Mr.. Taylor had loaded the fiat
boat expecting to save the freight to
Yazoo City, but he had finally to get
the Robbins to bring his cotton, which,
he says, with the expense of reloading
the thirteen bales twice, with the
freight finally added, was costly ex-
perimenty--Yazoo Herald.
