A Deplorable Tragedy.

Late in the afternoon Of last Fri
day, after the close of the State Cam
paign meeting, an unfortunate and
deplorable difficulty arose over a
trivial matter between Mr.. ". B.
Seay, faniliarly known the county
over by the alias "Tom,' and Mr.,
Nc. Johnson, a policeman for the
day, in which Mr.. Johnson received g.
severe stab in the breast, the knife it
is said penetrated the lung and MIR,
Seay received pistol ball in the
side, the bali perforating bis bowels
and lodged in his leg Mr.. Quitman
Roberts, a bystander received flesh
wound in the thigh.
Mr.. Johnson is still confined to his
bed and while he is much improved
he is still in a critical condition.
Mr.. Seay died from the effects OF
his wounds this morning at 3 o'clock
and his remains were taken to bis
home in the country where they will
be inferred. When not under the
influence of whisky, Mr.. Seay was
quiet and peaceable, kind hearte d
and generous. He was warm friend
and of a charitable disposition. 1t
can be truthfully said that he was
his worst enemy and his weakness
was an over indulgence at times in
strong drink, and while in under
its influence he was generally
quarrelsome. Notwithstanding his
faults, he had q large circle OF friends
who sincerely regret his tragic death.
He was a well-to-do, industrious
farmer and leaves quite an estate.
He was unmarried and leaves an
aged mother, several sisters and a
large circle Of relatives to mourn his
taking off.
The sympathies of the entire COM
munity go out to Mr.. johnson and
eXhonorate him from all blame.

Deaths,

The messenger Of death has been
abroad in our county and has garned
precious Jewels in the great store
house of eternity. Three pure and
unsullied souls have been summoned
beyond the Great Divide to be cloth
ed in beautiful raiments made white
in the Blood of the Lamb and now
walk the streets Of the New Jerusa
lem where there is no MI ght of dark
ness nor sorrow nor death, for death
to them is swallowed up in victory and
death had lost its sting by faith in
the everlas ting promises Of God.
Mrs. John Hammer, of Sandy
Run, after suffering intensely from
the ravages Of a fatal disease, sweet
ly and calmly fell asleep upon the
bosom of Jesus at her home on last
Friday morning, and her purified and
justified soul awoke in that mansion,
not made with hands eternal in the
heavens. A golden chord binding
earth and heaven has been woven
and the gentle loving spirit of the
der arted saint views affectionately the
way of her husband and two children
and becomes to them, she did so
fondly love, their guardian angel who
breaks from lifes pathway to tie
grave the sharpest thorns. Weep
not for her, ye grief stricken souls,
she is not dead, for there is no death.
She has only preceded you to that
bright land and now awaits your
landing upon the shores Of that land
of eternal rest.
Quincy Ira, the bright and prom
ising young son of Mr.. Levi Sem,
met with and accident last Sunday
which ended his life on this earth in
a peculiar manner at his fathers
place about six miles from this place.
While in the lot be commenced to
tease a young colt which kicked him
fearful lick in the head just behind
his ear. How long he lived after
receiving the kick is not known, as
he was uncopcious when picked up
and dead when the physician, who
had been Immediately summoned,
arrived. DR.. Hendrix pronounced
the little fellow dead when he got
there and said he had been dead for
sometime. Quincy was born Febru-
ary, 1890 and died August %, 1898.
His short life was source of much
pleasure to the household and his
early demise has ended a career
which gave every promise OF being
useful to his Church, county and
State. Our heart goes out in unrc-
strained sympathy to the afflicted
household, and may God, in his in
finite love and wisdom use this dis
pensation Of his unerring provi-
dence to his honor and glory and the
good of the afflicted ones.
Mary Ellen, the infant daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Harman, died
at the residence of Mr.. John H.:
Meetze Monday. She had been in
feeble health for sometime, and de-
voted parents brought her from their
home in Augusta, Ga, with the hope
that change Of climate would be
beneficial to her. But it was not to-
be Death had already claimed the
frail form for it's victim. Her suf-
ferinss are over and the sweet young
plant has been taken from earth to.
be transplanted in the garden of
Paradise. The stricken parents have
the sympathies Of the community.

On the matter for retaliation for the out
