Mr., Hackle, who has been con-
fined in the Western Hospital for
the past year, and who was recently
carried to Nashville to a private
Sanitarium, died in that city Satur-
urday. His remains were buried at
Trenton, his former home. Mr..
Hackle was a foreigner by birth.
For years previous to the loss of his
mind, he was a popular and success

visited Bolivar. Many friends here
extend sympathy to his bereaved wife
and family.

"A hungry cur created consider
able excitement in Bolivar Tuesday
morning. From whence he came
is not known, but he was evidently !
hungry, and the odor of fresh meat |
from Nuckoll's market whetted his
appetite, consequently he headed in
that direction. Now, when it comes
to entertaining strange dogs, our
friend Nuckolls begs to be excused.
He has about as many of his own as
he can conveniently care for. When
the strange dog made his hurried en-

poor, hungry creature was placed at
a disadvantage at the ratio of about |

Sheriff of Lauderdale county brought

by the name of Haynes. One J. B.
Spray, of Ripley, accompanied them.
Upon returning home, Spray in

in order for him (Haynes) to receive
proper attention, it would be neces-
sary for her to pay few dollars extra
each month to the attendant. Spray
very kindly consented to receive the
money and forward same to the at
tendant. Ignorant of the conduct
of the institution, anxious to add to
the comfort of her husband, and re-
lying upon the advice of her sup
posed friend, Mrs. Haynes gave
Spray at different times certain sums
of money. For some reason, her
suspicious were aroused. She COM

turned over to him any of the money
paid out by her. Mr.. Harris prompt
