A Fatal Afiray Between Two Lauderdale
 County Men.

County Men.
 On Monday last. in northwest Lauder dale. or just over the state line. two Lauderuale men. Andrew Scott and Deb Fowler, met in fatal conflict and the latter was instantly killed, shot in the breast near the heart with pistol. says the Florence Times.
 An old feud of twelve months stand ing led to the difficulty It grew out of hunting excursion at night. when. it is alleged the dogs treed Fowler. The boys leased Fowler about the affair un- til he became sensitive on the subject, and he and Scott had previously had rough words over it. On Monday the two, with others, met about nine miles north of Waterloo, on the Bumpass creek road. They were in Lauderdale, and after some words Fowler stepped across what he conceived to be the state line and said if anybody had anything against him to come over. Scott under stood this as a challenge and ap- preached him. Fowler had a knife and Scott a pistol. Statements conflict as to details of the conflict, but it seems that Fowler plunged at Scott, when the latter shot and instantly killed his an- tagonist
 Deb Fowler was the son of William Fowler, who himself was killed some years ago at his home on Big Cypress. He was about 25 or 30 years old, and leaves wife and several small children. Scott Is about 25 years old. and is un- married.

Two Young Ladies of Selma Make Musi-
 cal Mistake,


 cal Mistake,
 Two young ladies in a moment of for getfulncss let slip a joke on themselves that they would not have told had they taken a second thought, says the Selma Times A few nights ago the young la dies were awakened from their slumber by what they considered as sweet music as they ever heard. Perhaps they thought this because they were almost sure they knew who it was serenading them, and a tune on a jews harp would have sounded. well coming from these young men. The young ladies immedi- atey proceeded to write their names on a card, and also added: Many thanks for the lovely music" Then they threw the cards out of the window, and then settled back in their chairs near the win dow to enjoy the music. They listened for-somc time. and finally they heard the sercnaders leaving. Then was their chance. they thought, to get a peep at the young men, and they opened the shutter part of the way and looked out. As they did so they saw three negro men going out of the yard Then it was that it dawned upon them that the negroes were serenading the cook. They looked again. and sure enough, they recognized their coachman among the serenaders.
