THE little four year old son of Mr.. .Awtrey
Moore, of this place. was burned tc death
on last Monday Mr. Moore lives with his
father,ir-law, Mr.. John Waters, at DIN.
vile, on Roswell street. About 9lo'clock
Monday morning Mrs. Moore came to town,
leaving her two children ct the house with
Mr.. Waters two daughters. Shortly there's
after, little John Swift Moore got hold of
some matches and went Quito the wood
house and built a fire. By some means
the dress on the little fellow caught on FIRE.
The screams of the child attracted the
attention OF the Misses Waters and they
ran to the assistance OF the little fellow and
tried to extinguish the flames in which the
child was enveloped by throwing on a
bucket of water. This proved Intellectual.
Some street hands heard the cries of the
child and one OF them fastened to the
scene and wrapped mis- coat around the
burning form of the little child and thus
succeeded in smothering the flames, but
the little fellow was SO badly burned that
he was in an agony OF pain His flesh was
blistered and baked. Drs. Nolan and
Tennent did all they could to save the life
Of the child but the burns were fatal. He
fingered until about 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning and his spirit took its flight from
its tenement of clay. 1t was sad death
and one that will elicit the sympathy of
everybody for the bereaved parents. = ii

Coroner NJ R. Lyon is disposed to kick
rather vigorously against the way inquests
are held in this county without notifying
him. The law provides that in certain
cases where the coroner is not accessible
justice of the peace can hold the inquest
Under this provision he is often prevented
from exercising the duties OF his office be.
cause justice of the peace first takes
charge of the case without notifying the
lawful officer for such purposes.

The hay crop this year is fine. The
weather has been all that could be desired

wagons seen upon our streets loaded with
it, II would seem that our farmers are saw

cheap. but profitable crop and we are glad
to note that onr farmers are approaching
it more than heretofore ~
