Death of Jeptha Little
We learn with deep regret of the death of our dear friend, J F. Little, which occurred at Calhoon, on Monday evening
of last week. We were clerks in the same store when boys, and were true and devoted friends. He had been in failing
health for some time. About two years ago he went to Comanche, Texas, in hope of regaining his health, but alas ! in vain. That dread destroyer, consumption, had marked him for its own. He had about reached the age to be in the prime of life. He leaves an interesting family. Peace be to his ashes. No friend of his earlier days will regret his death more deeply than we.

The negro BobWhite, who stabbed Mr. Taylor Dean, at Litchfield, on election day, was engaged by a Mr Crawford
a few miles this side of Litchfield to work in a well. Or. Monday of last week he went down in the well, but soon signaled to be drawn up. They drew him up, but when in a few feet of the top he fell out of the bucket. Another negro got into the bucket and went down to bring him out but he called out at once to be brought up, and when they got him to the top he was about dead from foul air, but finally recovered. Candles and a kettle of burning kindling wood was lowered in the well but went out at once. Finally grab hooks were procured and the negro Bob White was brought out, when it was asertained that not only had he been killed by foul air, but the fall has also broken his neck.

Serious, but not Fatal
Mrs. Eliza Hudson and her little eon, Alfred, started last Saturday for the father and husband, A. P. Hudson, who
was employed as gauger at Hines' distillery. Going down the hill near Concord church the horse became frightened and ran away throwing Mrs. Hudson out and bruising her very seriously but not dangerously. Little Alfred hung on until the horse shied and turned the vehicle over. He got bruised up a little too, but not hurt much. They are at home again and getting along as well as could be expected.
