Mr. Ilenry Hussey was accidently killed
last week in Coffee county while driving a
wagon on the road between Colonel Den
ton's and Uazlehurst. The circumstances
showed that tho wagon wheel ran into n
gopher hole which caused tho driver to f.ut
on and a heavy bale of cotton to fall on
him. The mules probably took fright at
this, wheeled about and run the wagon over
him, perhaps killing him iusbmtly,—Baxley

Messrs. N. R. Thompson, A. A. Jlelton

Serious Cutting All'uir.
On Thursday, in Warren county, Mr. C.
II. Linticnm seriously, though not danger
ously, stabbed a negro, Robert Walker. It
seems that tho difficulty arose about a hog
belonging to the negro which had been get
ting into the fields of Jlr. Linticnm for
some time. Although the negro had been
requc8ted several times to keep the hog out,
and had been warned that if he did not the
hog would bo killed, yet he paid no atten
tion to tho warning, and this morning the
bog was again in the field. Jlr. Linticnm
took his hands and went down in the field
SOUTHERN SCENES.
Plantation Life In Georgia 111 the Olden
Time.
Wr *ten for the Baton Telegraph.
Sometimes—I may gay very frequently—
hogs would stray off into tho river swamp
while young anil go wild. Within the im
penetrable fastnesses of our Southern
swamps they would increase and multiply
to an alarming extent, and the plantation
stock wonld become thoroughly demoral
ized by them, and they would get to bo reg
ular marauders, breaking into the cornfields
at night, then tearing down corn and eating
as much as they chose, when they would
betake themselves to the swamp again.
Early on a fine morning about
tho first of October, Grandpa Bolton carno
out on the piazza and called for JIcntor.
The old man was soon on hand, and, feel-
u g t int there was some new project on
huud, I hung around to investigate the mat
ter.
"Mentor, come here and get a dram.
We’ll have some rare sport to-day if old
Majo is in trim.’’
"Your bery good hoait, sail.” said the old
man as he swallowed the generous bumper
of New England rum. “Olo Jlajo ig all
right, boss; an’ I bin tlitnkin’ some time dat
etyo' wuz gwine to do anyfing 'bout dern
hogs yo' bettah mak' 'asto 'bout it, fo’ de

“Well, as soon as we get breakfast we'll
go dowu to the river and see if we con
jump any of 'em.”
I pricked up my ears, for I knew that a
wild hog hunt was up.
“Grandpa, couldn’t I help?" I asked,
thinking that I would be surer of gaining
my point if I tendered lay services.
“Help? Great jewhilikins! What could
you do with a big wild barrow with hia
bristles up?"

Hymen In tno Sica Chamber,
Last Wednesday afternoon a bean tiful in
cident took place near this town—tho mar
riage of Jliss JIattie, the daughter of Maj.
E. II. Harris, to Jlr. K. A. Keith. For sev
eral months Jlr. Keith has been in lading
health, and his condition became so alarm
ing that intimate friends despaired of ulti
mate recover}'. On the evening above men
tioned the marriage ceremony, as above
stated, was performed by the Rev. A. JI.
Williams at the groom's residence. The
bride, seated upon the side of the bed upon
which the sick man lay, clasped his hand
and took upon herself tho vows of a wife,
while he, in his weakness, took upon him
self tho vows of a husband, rendered the
occasion doubly impressive. The scene
beautifully illustrated tho sweet union of
two hearts, and sheds around each tho
light of a loving union more strongly ce
mented by the sad yet happy influence of
the hour.—Dawson Journal.
A J1URDEROU3 ASSAULT.
A Brutal Husband Attempts the Life of Bis
Wife.
Amejuccs, November 3.—About 10
o'clock this morning, Reese Walker, who
lives near the batcher pens, in the south
western part of this citj’, got into a quarrel
with hia wife, Ida. Reese has been biding
oat for nearly a year, on account of an as
sault on a white gentleman in this city, and
he and his wife nave not been on very good
terms. She was washing in the yard when
tho qnarrel waxed hot, anil, unable to re
strain his fiendish temper, he seized on axe
and struck her a stunning blow in the side.
She tell, and he struck her on the side
ot the head with the flat
aide of tho weapon, then tnrned around
and strnck her with the pole ai one would
strike a boy. The first blow inflicted an
ugly scalp wound and fractured the skull,
near tho left temple, and the last blow frac
tured the bock of the aknll His aunt,
Julia Jones, ran up to prevent him mar-
dering his wife outright, and she received
a severe bruise on tno head and a cat on
the left arm. Realizing what he bod done,
the brute then threw away the axe, ran ont
of tho yard and into on adjacent thicket,
then southward through Captain BeU’
farm and into JIuckalee swamp.
As soon as the alarm was raised about fifty
negroes set out in pursnit of the furtive,

but of a serious character, and the chances
of her recovery are not very flattering.

its low pommel looked every way like a
hunter to my unsophisticated eye. “Come
on, Majc," nnd the old hog dog 'leaped
about and yelped for jqy as the cavalcade
rolled off down the lnne. I sat in the cart
behind Uncle Mentor, and plied him with
various questions regarding the wild hog bus
iness, and he, grumbling good naturedly,
entered into all the little details. “A-n,

Just at this time we come to the edge ot
the river swamp. We culled it the Half
Moon Bluff, from tho foot that the sand
ridge ran right up to the channel of the
stream, which left the swamp above anil
carved around against the face of the hill in
a beautiful crescent, entering the swamp
again about GOO yards below. Grandpa had
done fastened old Bill to a stout suppling,
and Beck was soon tied to a swinging limb,
because she rubbed tho bridle off so bad,
and then we starter! for the swamp.
About twenty feet below us flowed the
beautiful wine-colored water, and andor
the willows, across the stream, there glis
tened a snowy sand bar.
Where we entered tho gloomy swamp a
dry lagoon led off between two solid walla
of block gums, water oaks and tnpeloes.
In narrow places their interlacing branches
met overhead, shutting ont tho sunlight,
and causing a soft brown twilight that made
the gnarled, knotted and water-lined tranks
of the trees appear beautifully fantastic.
The bine berries of the black gums hung
thick among the variegated foliage, and the
drooping branches of the tnpeloes bore
great clusters of tho green, yellow and
scarlet fruit. So pretty it was that I would
bite one now ana then, and make a wry
face at it< sharp acid flavor.
