Crawford Notes.

EDITOR Observation-Disclosures
lovers smile is turned into a
sigh Of sadness. Thus it is with
the cotton crop in this neighbor-
hood. the cotton that promised
such a rich harvest has. 'blighted
itself as we'll as the farmers and
now the yield will be considera-
bly, less than promised in my
last letter. But then this crop
has been made with little ex-
pense, and with no corn to buy,
and some to sell and another
good corn crop, [ don't think we
should complain.
Messrs. James Nance, Fred
Waller and others are adhering
to the adage. Make hay while
the sun shines. and while cotton
is king, Johnson grass is his
body guard.
Miss Alma MCGEE is visiting
relatives in Aberdeen this week.
Miss Louise Nance has re
turned home after a most
pleasant stay in Columbus.
Miss Blanche Halbert is at
home again much to the pleasure
of her many friends.
Misses Mary Edmonds and
Bessie Brooks will leave in few
days to visit relatives in Texas.
They win be gone all winter
Mr.. a J. Erwin Jr., and wife
will leave next week to visit the
World IS Fair.
Jack aud Henry Hartman are

Death of DR.. Gid. D. Harris.

Col. w. D. HUMPHREYS re
ceived d telegram from Hon.
Sam Neil, of Indianola, Miss,
yesterday afternoon announcing
the death at that place of Dr.
Gid. D. Harris, and stating that
he would arrive in this city last
night at midnight with the body.
The announcement came as clap
of thunder from a clear sky to
Mr.. Harris relatives and friends
in this city for it was not known
that he was even III.
Little is known of the circum-
stances attending Dr. Harris
death Beyond the announce
that it was sudden nothing fur
Their was received from Indianola
up to press time last night.
DR.. Gid. D. Harris was the
Oldest son of Mr.. Gid ID. Harris
Of this city and was in his 28th
year. His untimely demise cuts
short d particularly promising
career for he had established
himself in the confidence and es-
TEEN of the community in which
he resided and his career gave
promise of many years of honor
and usefulness. He was genial
in disposition and made friends
the as we'll as IN this
city, his home, where his death
had cast a shadow over countless
hearts and homes. Only a few
weeks ago he was here in Colum-
bus called. here by the death of
his mother and he was in the
prime of life and health which
causes the news of his death 10
be all the more shocking.
The funeral will be held this
afternoon from the First Metho-
dist Church at 1 o'clock, Rev. I.
w. Lewis conducting the cere-
mony. The friends and acquain-
tances of the family are respec-
lively invited to attend. 1t is
needless to state that to the Har-
ris home in this city, which has
been doubly afflicted, the love and
sympathy of an entire communi-
ty goes out to them

mir. Chas. Morris Fire.

Fuller particulars of the fire
which destroyed the home OF Mr..
Chas. Morris at We cd last Satur-
day were received in Ills city
the day following. The fan es
started at the straw pen and had
their origin in the striking Of a
match thougthlessly by one Of
his little grandchildren.
The fire soon reached the barn
and, the wind blowing, communi-
Gated the flames to the house.
Everything north of the road was
swept away except the little
store. Mr. Morris had no in
surance, whatever, and his loss
was a severe one.
a number of friends realizing
the bad plight his catastrophe
had left him in started out with
lists asking contributions in his
behalf aud the response was both
prompt aud liberal showing that
his friends not only sympathized
with him but were willing TO help
him in his distress.

A serious shooting ARRAY oc-
cured last Saturday night at
eleven o'clock on Main street in
front of the gas works and it may
yet terminate fatally for the
wounded man. The row occurred
over a woman. Whey Jones being
the person whose favor was at
stake. The Jones woman was
walking with John Muslin. a ne
gro who has been IN this city only
a short while, being employed by
Kelley and Pope with the side
walk gang. They were approach
ed by Alex Mac Field, a well
known Colum bus negro, who, it
is said. was Intoxicated. Field
addressed the woman and as her
com paniOn did not like the man
ner in which it occurred he
took it up. One word followed
another and Muslin whipped out
a revolver and fired twice at his
antagonist. Only one shot took
effect add it entered Field side
and penetrated the region Of the
spine. paralyzing his lower
i'm : 5. Field yelled for the po-
lice, crying out that he had been
murdered etc, and the officers
were soon on the scene.
Fields was brought up town
and Drs. Mckinley and Crigler
attended him. He was taken to
DR.. Mckinley 5 office and an eff
fort made to locate the bullet with
the Xray but it was so deeply
imbeded in the muscles of the
back and spine that it could not
be located. The wounded negro
was carried to his home and it is
reported that he IS recovering, al
though it is not certain that he is
yet out of danger.
AS soon as the shooting occur
ed and Muslin realized that he
had got his man he left. 1t was
late Saturday night and there
were 50 many people on the
streets that all trace OF him was
lost and the police have not been
able to locate him since. 1t is
thought he comes from the west
ern section of Alabama and the
officers are hoping to land him
before the week is over.

A COMMON ENEMY.
Worry, 0verwork, Hasty Eating, Ex-
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sleep, Neglect of Natures
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright's Disease.
Thousands Die of 1t Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as a result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. It
IS a treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifing symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prick1y Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; 1t IS soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re-
1ieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and rudy glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure in red on the front label.
