Mr. Harvey Moore,a well known
man by many Tishomingans, fell
dead last Friday while Harvesting
his mules. Mr. Moore had gone
above Pleasant Site to move q fam
lily to his farm and was brought
back a lifeless corpse. 1t is thought
that Mr. Mooae was addicted to
drugs as there was found in his
pockets something in the way of
morphine.
Mac Martin, "a we'll known color
ed man, left Mingo yestel day to

fell dead at the home of Douglas
McRae, (col.) Mac was troubled
with heart disease anyway and
loaded his stomach with poisoned
whisky, so altogether carried him
INTO eternity unprepared we fear.

ED. VIDETTE:


ED. VIDETrE:
Today,my..wife and l.visited
my old friend DIR. B.,R. Smith, of
Burtons, Miss. and found him in
his usual good humor and doing
nicely with big cribs of corn. The
DR.. is in splendidhealth and has all
the practice he can attend to, hav-
ing several cases Of typhoid fever,
having lost hut one case. We took
dinner with him and learning OF
the death of my old frie3d John
Smith, of near Old Cairo, went on
there after having begged off from
the doctor from staying over night,
where we met several of my old
friends and neighbors. Mr.. John
Smith left his home Wednesday
morning Nov. 26 in common health
on his way after load of corn
near O. l.. Towards. He passed
his son in laws, Thos. Moser's at 8
a. m. His daughter asked him to
get out, come in and dry himself
but he said he was neither wet nor
cold and went ON. His daughter,
Mrs. Moser, telephoned Mr.. How
ard that he had passed her house
and to tell the parties to be at home
when he got there. Two hours la
ter the party who bad sold the corn
went to Mr.. Towards and inquir-
cd of him about Mr.. Smith, when
Howard phoned Mrs. Moser, his
daughter, to know if she did rot
say her father passed her house at
8 q. m. and she told him she had.
AT this the party agreed he had
got lost and he would 90 on the
hunt for him. When he had come
to the road that Mr.. Smith had to
travel, about 80 yards ahead of him
he saw his team standing and going
near enough found he was dead.
Going back to Mr.. Towards they
phoned Mr.. Thomas Moser, when
he and many other friends came to
see about him. When found his
body was still warm and it was sup
posed he had not been dead over
two hours. There were no visible
marks of foul play and the money
he started with was found on his
person and was conveyed back to

Governor Cummins with regard to the
legality of the recent filing of incorpor-

paIly the same when made public. No
intimation has been given out Of the

Creston, Sept. 16.-Everything now
points to a bumper crop in the matter
of corn for this county, where last
week it looked very blue for the farm
ers. The heavy frosts of thep asst few
nights has not only not injured the corn
but has proven quite "a benefit to 1t in
that 1t has hurried the rlpening and
dried up many Of the stalks. until now
much of the corn is out of danger of an
early frost. The oats. too. are in much
better shape than they were last week.
Save for afew stacks which were
spoiled in growing In the stack after
they were cut, the threshiltg. which has
been in full blast during the dry wealth
ler Of the past week, shows that they
are turning out well, in most cases run-
ming from thirty five to ..orty bushels
to the acre and being of excellent quail
ity. The late potatoes, which last week
threatened to rot in the ground, are
now out Of danger, and will produce an
immense crop. Everything has more
hopeful appearance. and the result is
noticed In an increase of all kinds Of
business.

Supervisor Hoffman tells the Register
that the board Is looking UP the insane
patients from Floyd county. The coun-

lions one case where a man worth over
St, 900 has refused to pay for his wife's
support at Independence. and owes the
county over $500 thereon. In such
cases legal steps will be taken to en-
force payment. The Ladies Gem

indebtedness. They further maintain
