Carried Off His Children.
Mr. Taylor Hancock, formerly of
this place, but nowofShreveport, La.,
who has been spending a few day3
in the city, left last Saturday night,
accompanic 1 by his two children,
Mollie, aged 11, end Philip, who is 9
years of age. The departure of Mr.
Hancock with his clr'drca was rather
sensational, as Mrs. Hancock, mother
of the children, and who is the divor
ced wife of Mr. Hancock, had no idea
of what was about to happen. Satu
day evening, just at d-”k, a cp'.-iage
drove up to Stuart’s hotel, where the
father of the children was stopping.
Mr. Hancock appeared a few mo
ments afterwords with the two chil
dreu, and placing them in the car
riage stepped iu himself, when the
driver, under previous instructions,
drove rapidly away. Later Mrs,
Hancock became alarmed by tho
continued absence of the children
and went in person to i he hotel to
look for them. Mr. Stuart had some
difficulty in convincing her that the
children were not in the house,
What course, it any, Mrs. Hancock
will tnkc to recover tho clf'dren,
not known.
Coroner B. (i. Johnson wa.- in our
office yesterday and he says that the
crops in his section, Patten, are better
for this time of year than he has known
in a long time. He says that if rain
and caterpille-s don’t ruin the corn
and cotton, splendid crops will be
harvested.
"Have you any news?" asked the
reporter ol a gentleman from the
country.
“Yes crops arc good, never better
and a new girl baby at ray house.”
The reporter thought this good
news for good crops of corn, cotton
nd babies a-e a’l necessary to keep
the country going. They arc good
Brigs to have in a family.
Miss Laura Jones is in receipt of a
letter from Detroit, Mich., from Mr.
J. C. Griffin, announcing the death

Jones a good portion of the time.

won ninry friends here by her sweet
manners and unvarying amiability.
