While superintending the load ing of a car with logs at the station nee, Mr, J. W. Hillis saw the chain of the derrick break and fly out in the direction in which he was standing. Realizing h'a danger, his first thought was to drop behind a log, but fearing the chain would fall on him, and not knowing the tackling block was at tached to the chain, his second thought was to run. Just as he started to suit the action to the thought, the twen'y pound block struck him at the base of the brain and knocked him seuseless. A gash of two inches was cut to the bone. but no bones were fractured. On re- :onsciousness he was able to walk to town and have the in jury treated. " Shoes. Suffice it to say we Messrs'. G.

One of the saddest deaths we have recently beeu called upon to chronicle occurred at Corinth, Miss., Wednesday morning. Hugh Tate, Jr., son of Dr. and Mrs. K. A. Tate, of Bolivar, who was in the employ of the Alcorn Woolen Mills, at Udrinth, while in the dis charge of his duty arranging a cross-arm or insulator upon the top 'of a pole, was struck by a live wire and instantly killed. The remains were brought to Bolivar Wednes day evening. Funeral services were conducted from St. James church Thursday morning by the rector, Rev. Neill Joyner, and the body interred in Polk cemetery in the preeence of many friends. Hugh was about 19 years of age and was one of the most popular and prom ising young men of Bolivar, manly, honor'able, courteous and polite. The family have the tenderest sym pathy of our people in their great) griet, Local showers in various portions of the State were very beneficial in these favored sections to late crops, such as potatoes, turnips, some vejy ate corn and cotton and garden stuff : but the rainfall was generally very light and insufficient over the grreater portion of the State. The temperature averaged slightly above the normal. The late corn crop will be short; some correspondents say only half an average yield may be expected. The early crop is still reported an excellent one. Cotton continues to open rapidly and probably one-half of the crop is open. It is generally stated that the crop will be a light one with a very small top crop. Cotton has uffered severely in most places from dry weather, rust and shedding. Most of the tobacco crop is housed and the crop is generally a satisfactory one, being perhaps a little above the average jield and in quality very good. The apple crop is a fairly good one. In the diy districts fall crops made no progress during the week and in some places deteriorated. The week was favorable, however, for the saving of hay and much good peahay was gathered. - Fall plowing has been greatly de layed on many farms on account of the dry, hard condition of the soil.
