Bray, a man 30 years of age, confined
two days ago here in the county jail
ou charges of bootlegging, died
sometime during the night last night
in the county jail. Bray was an
excessively fat man and it is thought
that the intense heat probably caus-
ed his death. Another inmate of
the same cell was unaware of Bray’s
death until he awoke this morning
and noted that Bray was crouched in
one corner of the cell. He called the
jailor and found the man dead. Bray

PLANT FEED CROPS.
The good rains of the last * few
weeks have put the ground in good
condition in most of the county and
the farmers who plant - maize or
other feed crops will be glad of their
work, tfie Eagle believes. It is safe
to estimate that there will be a
fairly good corn crop in the county
and in case of another rain on the
corn the yield will be sure to be
good, except in cases where the dry
weather injured the crop some
weeks ago, but where a good crop
of maize is grown and a full crop of
corn is gathered the revenue will be
greater to the farpier and will sava
many dollars being sent out of the
county for stock feed. Many experi-
enced farmers are planting feed crops!
