Corn in the fields‛near.Corpus Christi (
is coming up nicely and is looking well, ।
considering the late cool spell. A much ,
larger acreage has been planted in the d
county this year than last, while the
acreage of cotton will nearly double that
of last year. . -
After careful inquiry the general
opinion is the late sleet has not ma-
terially injured the corn and crops in
the county of Kaufman. Tbe peach
crop is thought to be safe, but plums I
ana apricots were ruined by the dry
freeze some weeks ago.
It was feared the fruit crop in the
northern part of the State had been all
ruined by the late blizzard. Examina-
tions made, however, show that only
those orchards in /horthern exposure
suffered. There will be plenty of fruit
unless a later freeze kills it.

again to kjll himself. Stahnding beside’ « g
the bed he had stabbed himself at least
a dozen times to the full length of the
knife-Wade in the neck, just below the « g
Adam’s apple. Finally sinking down
weak, but not dying, he drew the blade
clear across his throat, nearly from ear
to ear, just under his chin. He bled .
slowly to death.
Three men lost their lives in a quar-
rel near Maxey, Ga., one evening last
weck. Harvey Smith is a young planter, a
who was married only a few months ago.
He had among his .employes a negro
named Boyd Halton, whom he had to rl
discharge. While Halton was preparing -
to leave, Smith went down to his cabin
to settle with his men. Upon arrival
at the cabin he was shot by Halton,
whereupon S nith drew his revolver and
fires striking Halton in the shoulder-
The appearance of Bill Halton, his
brother, made it two to one. The next
shot from Smith struck Bill in the heart,
and the next struck Boyd Halton in the
abdomen. Smith fell in a swoon from
his own wound. Boyd Halton ran up,
and securing Smith’s revolver, shot him. .

carried into his cabin and soon died
from his wounds. - 15
