much excited and was using good deal
Of profane language, interspersed with
many vile cpithets. He continued TO use

any notice OF il for some time. At last
some Of hs friends succeeded in getting
him out 81 the room and were cndeayor-
ing TO carry him TO his residence. short

on "A strctchcr and was attended by Dire.
II. ". DunstOn. I'd. W. pugh. and ". ;.

DIED FROM INTERNAL HEMoRRHAGY.
The physicians seem TO think that some
emell artery must have been cut IN two
and that he died from internal hcmorrhage.
The fatal wound WA received about
1890 A. VI. Tuesday and he died at : A.
VI. Wednesday,
Captain Harden is married and leaves a

CURED in this town for many years. though
MANY years ago al the same spot one very
similar TO this took place IN which Young

TIE CROPS.
Cotton is very late opening, only one
bale being received vet. while last year al
this date hundreds had been received and
shipped. Most Of the farmers here have
finished pulling their fodder, and the corn
looks well and the ears are extra large.
Some few of the peanut-Growers say
that their crops Will not yield rs well as
expected. Several Of them have punches
OF peanuts III town for exhibition which
have many fully developed peas On them.
The pea crop in this section Is not rs
good a. il was last year. Many Of the
farmers think that they were planted too
early.
