Tragedy.

Last Sunday evening Geo. johnson, a
negro on Hon. Walter Prices planta.
ton, in a fit of insane jealousy, filled
the face and neck of his wife with bird
shot, and when his wife was PROSTATE
on the ground, struck her with the butt
Of the gun two heavy blows on the
head, breaking the gnn stock. Think
ing she wal ~lifeless, he locked himself
in his cabin and attempted to end his
own miserable existence by sticking a
fork into his throat and twisting it until
the prongs of the fork were bent. The
bloody prints of his hands are on the
ratters. He arranged a chair 80 that
in falling from the rafters he might
break his neck by striking the back of
the chair. Not successful in that he
took a dull AK, and setting the butt end
on a table rubbed his neck across the
edge until a hole was made large enough
for an egg to go through. When Mr..
Price had the cabin door forced open
the negro was found weltering in his
blood almost dead. DR., Wyatt was
summoned and he sewed up the cuts in
the negro's neck; he also dressed the
negro woman's wounds, and strange to
say, at last accounts, both are st il
Lying.

We publish the list of subsribers to

several large mills in the State that
were built without any outside financial
aid. and no one questions Noxubee's
ability to raise the full amount required
for the purpose. The list could be
made large enough to make it a basis of
credit
In the Atlantic states where 80 many
of these enterprises are on a paving
basis. the money to build them was
raised on solvent subscription lists.
From a paper published in a flourish

raise the funds:
In building factories the essential,
