August 15,--Mrs. Emily Moore is lying at the point of death, at the
residence of her brother-in-law, Judge W. L. Moren. Mrs. Moore had a stroke
of paralysis about a month ago, from which she had partially recovered.
Yesterday she suffered from a second attack, and there now seems to be no
hopes for her recovery.

DIED-At the home of her son-in-law, Mr. H. C. Broughton, near the depot, in
London, August 13, Mrs. Sarah Allen, wife of Mr. Enos Allen, of this
county. Mrs. Allen's age was sixty-three, and she had been an invalid for
several months, suffering with something like consumption of the bowels.
Her remains were taken to Hazel Patch yesterday for burial.

A company of Gypsies passed through town on Tuesday and as is their custom,
stopped on the main street awhile, drawing quite a crowd of the curious
around them. Two little Shetland ponies-one very small-attracted much
attention from the youngsters. Mr. R. M. Jackson is now the owner of a pair
of large, gray work-horses, which he obtained from them.

DIED-At his father's home in London, on Monday night, August 11, Harry R.
son of Sid A. and Ellen Lovelace, aged fourteen months and ten days. Little
Harry's sufferings were long and painful. He was tenderly watched and cared
for, and many prayers went up for his recovery, but his Father called him
home, and his fond and loving parents, while weeping for his loss, can live
in hopes of once more meeting him upon the other shore.

On Sunday a difficulty occurred between Andy and Pleas Storm, cousins, in
the Independence district of this county, in which both were hurt. We
understand they were involved in a quarrel, when Pleas struck Andy on the
head with a club, and Andy, drawing his knife, cut Pleas, though not
seriously. He might however, have done Pleas greater injury, had he not
been taken hold of and drawn away by his friends, as he evinced a
dispositon to continue the use of his knife. A warrent has been issued for
Pleas, who is said y those present to have been in the wrong in the matter.
