and has not sold any of her chickens
yet.”

effect that he watched the road while
Mack, who is a negro, set fire to the
stockade. The loss was not covered by
insurance, and fell heavily on Mr. Land.
There is a private reward of $5O for
the arrest and conviction of the incendia

There is very little room to doubt that

THE HORRIBLE FATE OF A LITTLE
BOY SATURDAY MORNING
Nerr Parrott-Some Successful Farmers.
Interesting News and Personal Items
From Parrott--What Has Hap
pened There the Past Week.
Wehave to chronicle one of the saddest
and most horrible occurrences that ever
happened in our community. The three
yearold chiid of Mr. W, V. Perry, one of
our most esteemed citizens, was fatally
burned Saturday morning. The little
fellow complained of being cold while
cating his breakfast and his mother sent
him to the fire to finish eating, and went
about her domestic duties. Soon she
was startled by the cries of her child,
Hurrying into the room she found him
enveloped in flames. When he saw her
he said, ‘“‘Mamma, I am burning up!’
She tore the burning ciothes from him
and summoned a physician. Everything
that could be done for the littie fellow’s
comfort was done, but all to no avail.
He died about sunset. He was a remark
ably bright and affectionate little fellow.
Even while suffering. the most intense
pain he explained how he caught fire.
He said that a stick of wood rolled down
and he kicked it back with his foot. His
tragic end has cast a giloom over the
whole town. The parents have the
deepest sympathy of all our people.
PERSONAL AND NEWS ITEMS.

Mr. B. B. Bridges. When it comes to
farming he is one among the best in the
county. He says he has made this year,
from six plows, ninety bales of cotton,
six hundred bushels of potaices and has

men, were shaking hands with their

or fifteen bales of cotton to the plow, and
plenty of hog and hominy in proportion.

glad to have the judge with us and hope
he will come oftener.

ahead putting it down. He has one of
the best in the country, and will soon be
ready o serve the public.

both of Weston, have located here. The
good people of Parrott are glad to have
them bere and welcome them as neigh
bors,

son’s popular business men, passed
