The saddest death that we have
been called upon to chronicle fol
sometime is that of Mrs. Ethel Foster
Tompkins, wife of Mr.. j. ID Tompkins,
which occurred on Wednesday evening
after an illness of nearly a month.
This lovely woman was twenty three
years of age and bride of only eight
months, and her death is indeed a sad
one.
The heart broken husband and
mother have the heartfelt sympathy OF
our community IN their sad bereave-
mept
The remains of Mrs. Tompkins were
followed from Grace Episcopal Church
to the Providence Cemetery on Thurs
day evening by large number of her
friends.

no use in talking about going 10 the

We went out on Monday last 10 see
what effect the frost had on the SO
much talked of .new crop" of full
grown hollis that was sure TO open.
We found the stalks loaded from top
to bottom with full grown bolls, and il
half of the bolls would open there
would be more cotton than could be
picked; but we do not believe there
will be one in thousand that will
open, aud 1t is all foolishness to expect
anything from this source. All the
bolls we examined were musby and
filled with water.

Mr.. Burney will make large quantity
of molasses, enough to furnish the

for sale. MIR. Burney is one of our
most practical planters, and il shows
what push and energy can do. There
is no use for planter in this country
to purchase corn, hay. meat, meal or

A SERIOUS ACCUSATION
Christian SeSterhenn Arrested on the
Charge of Attempted Murder.
WILLIAM STERRETT HIS ACCUSER
Alleges That the Prisoner Shot
at Him.

At about noon Tuesday Officers Ward
and Lyons arrested Christian Sester-
henn OF No. 1923 West Fourth street,
and took him to the police station,
where he was charged with attempting
to murder William Sterrett at the lat
ter's blacksmith shop, on Fifth street
near Monroe. The arrest was made in
stable on Front street near Orange
where Sesterhenn was found by the
officers. He made no resistance, how
ever, aud had little 10 say.
Sterrett alleges that Sesterhenn en-
tered his shop in the morning, and after
words had been exchanged, Sesterhenn
drew revolver and fired at him, the
ball passing through his hat and not
harming him. The police were at once
notified and the arrest followed soon
after the information was given.
As far as could be ascertained Ster-
rett and Sesterhenn had come business
transactions, and the result was not
altogether satisfactory TO Sterretr, and
when Sesterhenn called at his shop
Tuesday morning complaint was made.
This, he alleges, was not to Sester-
hepn's liking, and provoked the
assault.
When Sesterhenn was arrested he
was searched by the officers, but they
found no weapon on him, and if he Is
guilty as charged they are at loss to
know what he did with his revolver.
