There is considerable talk in the
New Zion section with regard to the
recent death CT Mr.. Turaer Coker,
mention OF which was made last week.

bride of three months had not been

somewhat sudden, neighbors became
suspicious and demanded that "a autop-
sy be had, accordingly the stomach of
the dead man was removed and sent to

Coker came to his death naturally, and
there is no ground to suspect foul play
however, the examination and the re-
port OF it is awaited with interest.

to ease himself OFF by putting the cause
of his defeat to some one else. We hon

out regard to the influence of any indi-
vidual.
