A MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY.
Assassination Near CarrolltOn Leads to
a Murder.

CARRoLLToN, Miss, Dec. 28.-A ter
rible tragedy was committed in this
county in a section locally known as
Little Texas" The partio ulars, as
far as can be learned, are as follows
Some one fired into the residence Of
Lawson Lott, fatally wounding him,
also seriously wounding Mrs. w. E.
Miers, a visitor. A man named Geo,
Taylor, who was also present in the
room, who is supposed to be the one
the shot was intended for, was not hit
1t seems that Taylor and Pierce
Miers had difficulty few days ago.
Suspicion rested on Miers as being
the one who attempted the assassina-
ton. This morning posse went to
Miers house to arrest him, Taylor be-
ing one of the number carrying Win
chester. Miers refused to be arrested
and drew knife, whereupon Taylor
began firing and killed Miers, putting
six bullets in his body.
Taylor was taken in charge by the
posse. The Mrs. Miers, who was
wounded at Lofts house, is the wife of
w. f. Miers, cousin to Pierce Miers,
the man killed by Taylor.

1t is said that in alake near the
city of Silene, in England, a
huge dragon dwelt, whose Unsuitable
NAV seemed satisfied with nothing the
people could give him. In their des-
pair they cast lots to determine who
among their dearest ones should be
flung to the beast, and the lot fell to
the Kings daughter AS she was GO
ing, like Jeptha's daughter, to meet her
terrible fate. she was met by George OF
Cappadocia, who, after hearing her
sad story, babe her fear not, and max
ing sim OF the cross he brandished
his lance, attacked and transfixed the
dragon, and leading him into the city
beheaded him in the presence OF all
the people. For this noble deed he
became the Patron Saint OF England
Many a dragon in the form OF disease,
while leading his victim to death, as
sure as that which would have beiallen
the Kings daughter but for her time
ly rescue, has been demolished by the
use of S, S. S., and the victim restored
to- health.

This reporter was in Knoxville when
the first reports came regarding the
confagaration. The reports were
much exaggerated, and Knoxville was
wild with excitement; for it app cared
that the entire city of Chattanooga
was destined to ashes.
A number o. people went down from
Knoxville on No. l, among whom was
a COMET representative, but his paper
being off for Christmas, he did not
trouble himself to gather the facts just
then.
The loss is much greater than il
would appear at first sight. The walls
of all the buildings except three still
stand, but they are worthless.
Mr.. Loveman has expressed his in
tention to rebuild, and when he gets
ready, he will erect a much finer and
larger structure than the former one
He will Immediately purchase a new

When immen ,e blocks like Love

be fire proof, succumb to the fire fiend,
it should be a lesson to the people Of
Johnson City, and call to mind the
constant danger that our property,
perhaps the accumulation of a lifetime
of hard toll, is in, and bring before
them wildly the urgent necessity OF
procuring a policy in the old reliable
companies represented by Brading &
