SEVERE STORM.

JOHN MURPHY.

John Murphy, highly respected citizen and merchant of Grubbs, died at his home Friday, June 7th, about 12 o'clock noon.
 Two weeks ago, he was seriously hurt by fall from his buggy, which ran over him, breaking several ribs. But these injuries were not considered dangerous of themselves, but brought on an attack of pneumonia, which was augmented by symptoms of ty- phoid fever, to which his physician at tributes his death. 4
 The funeral was held Saturday noon attended by large concourse of rela- tives and friends, his body being laid to rest at Denton graveyard.
 The deceased leaves wife and sev- eral children, all of whom are well provided for, as the husband and father was a man of considerable means. His influence among his as- sociates was broad as all his business dealings were characterized by a high sense of honor. Generous and of a genial nature, the friends who mourn his loss are numerous.
Newport weekly independent., 1901-06-14

Certain sections of this county were visited by severe wind, hail and rain storms Tuesday afternoon, of which Diaz and the country between Tupelo and Simmon's Switch seem to have been the centers.
 The extremely dry and sultry at mosphere of Monday and Tuesday gave the barometer stormy look, but the cloud burst of Tuesday after noon came from almost clear sky, to the surprise and discontinue of many, who had not prepared for so unexpected an event.
 The funeral party attending the body of the late Wm. D. Brown to it's last resting place, had just reached Walnut Grove Cemetery, some of the vehicles being without the gate, when the storm broke in full fury. The rain dashed down in sheet, accompanied by hail stones as large as walnuts, pelting the horses, frightening them until they became unmanageable. Luckily no one was hurt, but h$ it not been for the presence of mind md valor of many ladies who were driv- ing their own conveyances, the scene | would have been an awful one, as the sense1ess animals reared and plunged, thinking they were being beaten, so large were the stones falling.
 The grave filled with water, necessi tating postponement of the burial, and upon the ground at the cessation of the storm, the hail lay several inches deep.
 In the vicinity of Diaz, it is esti- mated that 1000 acres of cultivated land, planted mostly in cotton was visited by the hail storm. In some places, cotton fields were literally ob liberated so far as evidences of this years crop are concerned. Then there are fields in which the damage is such that not over half yield can ever be secured.
 One, and half miles, south of Tu pelo, the storm of hail and wind played havoc with the cotton and corn crops. The latter was in fine condition, waist high, but only short stubs remain to tell the story of the hail visitation, while the cotton fields are even in worse condition.
 Two trees were blown across the Choctaw track beyond Tupelo and much other damage done by the wind which accompanied the hail. l The Western Union wires north of here were blown down, destroying connection between this city and St. Louis.
 The picnic party of the Baptist Sum- day school at Bergen Lake were caught in the rain and found shelter as best they could in wagons and un- der umbrellas.

HARRY WALTZ SUNK.

The boat Harry Waltz, owned by the Kelley Lumber Company and en- gagged in hauling logs to their mill at this point, struck snag in bend of the river three quarters of a mile this side of Elgin Wednesday morning be- tween and o'clock, while on a trip to Lockhart's Landing, with Captain Wm. Warner in charge.
 The boat sank in six feet of water, turning over on it's side, leaving half the bottom above water. Captain T. E. Morrison was telephoned news of the disaster and left here on the Quickstep, accompanied by P. F. Teter, carpenter for the Kelley Lum- Der Company, to attend to the raising of the boat.
 Definite information as to the na- ture of the accident is not at hand, but it is known that no one was seri ously injured if hurt at all.

PEARL PROSPECTING.

A. J. Sargent, who travels for the Bonaparte Handle Mfg. Co.,, of Wal nut Ridge, was here on Wednesday morning enroute to Paroquet. To an INDEPENDENT reporter, he told some interesting facts relative to the "pearl- ing" industry, which has lately be- come such an important item ill the business of the Upper Black River.
 The Bank of Black Rock last week cashed checks to the amount of SS,000 in payment for these stones taken from the muscle, nor does this ade- quately represent the volume of busi- ness from this source as the best pearls found are still in the possession of the finders who refuse the figures offered by spectators in that city.
 One lucky fellow has in his possess sion pearl of dimensions sufficient to command an offer of $500, but he is still freezing onto the stone ill the hope of doing still better.
 MT. Sargent estimates the number of persons now engaged in pearl pros pecting on the Black River at 5000 as the river from Pocahontas down to the Black River bridge, fifty miles above here, is being worked by "pearl ing" parties.
 The muscles are taken from the river bottom by means of grappling hooks similar to those employed in oyster beds, the poles used being long enough for 16 to IS feet of water. The small shells are thrown back without injuring the muscle, but to examine the larger shell, it is necessary to kill the occupant, which must in the course of short time mean either the total extermination or great diminution of the shell muscle.
