southwestern grain to the gulf for eX-
port; (3) the practical suspension oil
the grain exporting trade on the Pa

OF flour milling and to the wide differ

grain in England and the price at
which producers held their product;

SAD ACCIDENT.

On Monday last Harley Bean, son of
l. L. Bean, formerly of Sequachee, but
who now resides at the Young place,
near Victoria, with his brother, Ernest,
went out on the mountain hunting.
Becoming thirsty they went to the sui
phur spring to get water, and Harley
laid down to get drink, with his gun
in his hand, but on getting up the ham
mer was caught someway and the gun
was discharged, taking effect in his
arm, decorating 1t terribly and breaking
the bones. His brother tried to stop
the flow of blood by applying bandage
above the wound and helped him home
Drs. Thompson and Turner were sent
for and decided to amputate the arm,
which was done, but he died Tuesday
morning.
He was bright young man and his
eighteenth birthday would have occur
red next month. The family feel their
loss terribly, and the community deep
ly sympathize with them. The funer-
al took place Tuesday afternoon at Sar-
dis Church, and interment made in the
