Death Of Wesley Nixon.

Wesley J. Nixon died unexpectedly
at the residence of his father-in-law,
DR.. j. B. Daughtry, last night at II
o'clock. He was we'll and in good
spirits up to s O'Clock and had invited
his wife and sister, in-law to attend the
entertainment at the Opera House
with him. While apparently under the
influence of cocaine or some other
drug, he went to Grafton's Drug Store
shortly after o'clock and purchased
small vial of laudanum from one of
the clerks. When Mr.. Robert Stamps,
anot her clerk, came in, he asked for
more laudanum and made two attempts
to swallow what he already had, Mr..
Stamps preventing his taking it all
each time and declining to sell him any
more. Night Waterman Natter then
escorted Mr.. Nixon home, where later
the symptoms developed which caused
his death.
His demise was shock to the house
hold, and sympathy is extended his
young wife and bereaved family.
The dead mans sister, Mrs. Beulah
Smith, of Jackson, and Messrs. Hance
and Walter Nixon, arrived on the early
train this morning.
