AN IH'SUAL WAT OF. DEATH. Hrs. J. T. Johnson Strangled With Her False Teeth. Quite an unusaul occurrence was witnessed by the attending physician and nurse at the Watts Hospital tost Monday afternoon, when Mrs. J. T. Johnson, who was just recovering from the effects of an operation, was strangled to death by swallowing her false teeth, while a physi cian and nurse were standing by powerless to do anything for her relief. Monday about noon Dr. Joe Graham, her physician was with her and she was cheerful and in good spirits, as he told her that soon she would be able to go to her home. Leaving her the doc tor went into some other wards, but was called back by the nurse and when he arrived saw that his patient showed indications of strangulation, and began at once to see if he could not relieve her. He finally succeeded in removing the set of false teeth that in some way had gone down her throat. Not however, until it was too late to be of any good to the patient Restoratives were administered, but with no effect It was found when the plate was removed from her mouth that it was a very small plate, and in going down her throat had turned fiat wise and completely covered the windpipe, which caused death as quickly as it can be produced by strangulation. rTtimmn i Entertained Clerks.

Boy Shoots His Cousin Accidentally Both Boys Under 8 Tears ol Age. There was a distressing acci dent some six miles south of the city Monday afternoon when a rifle ball was fired through the brain of Master Allen Barbee, eight year old son of Mrs. Annie Barbee, by his first cousin,' Mas ter Marvin Barbee. son of George Barbee. The fatal affair was an accident pure and simple. From the particulars that were learned here it seems that Allie Barbee was at the home of his uncle, George Barbee, and he was playing with his cousin, Marvin. While in play Marvin secured a small twenty-two calibre rifle that was in the house. The gun was out of his reach and he man aged to get it by getting on top of a dresser. The two children then began playing with the in strument of death and in a few moments its mission was carried into execution. As soon as possible after he shooting a physician was secured, who did all he could to save the life of the unconscious boy, finally having him brought to the Watts hospital here. At the hos pital there was an operation, this being for the purpose of saving the life of the child if possible to do so. The skull was opened and the blood clots poured from the brain. After this the ar teries were tied up, and the hem orrhage controlled. It was found that the ball went in the right temple, passed directly through the skull bone, then passed through the brain and went in the direction of the base of the skull, where it was impossible to even try to follow the ball or remove it When the shooting occurred George Barbee, father of the boy who had the gun when the fatal shot was fired, was in the city. The almost crazed mother of the boy who did the shooting and aunt of the boy shot hurried a colored man towards town to a kinsman and this kinsman came on to the city to get a physician and to notify George Barbee. In a very short while both w?re back at the home, near the Bar bee saw mill. The shooting oc curred about 2 o'clock and it was near night when the boy was brought here. , The father of Allie Barbee. who was Willis Barbee, died sev eral months ago and now the widow has this second sad and distressing affair in her home. The wounded boy lingered on until Tuesday morning at 1 o'clock, when he died. Karriace in Carthage. Last Wednesday afternoon in Carthage Mr. W. A. Salmon, of the firm of Salmon & Salmon, contractors of this city, led to the altar 'Miss Bertha .Barrett, sister of Rev. W. C. Barrett, pastor of the Second Baptist church of this city.

John Hodges, who is in jail awaiting the execution of the death sentence of the court, is making his final preparations for the hanging next Friday, Feb. 8. Religious exercises were held in the jail last Sunday afternnon by Rev. E. M. Hoy le, and the prison ers gave him close attention, es pecially the two in there that are awaiting the day of execution on the gallows John Hodges and the negro, Freeman Jones. Hodges expresses himself as being tired of the delay, and wants the day of execution to arrive, that all may end. tie hopes all his enemies have for given him, and says that he has forgiven anything that he held against anyone. Hodges ex pressed the desire that all his children and relatives attend services next Sunday the last he will spend on earth in the jail and bid him a last farewell, and that he may talk with them. Also he requested the preacher to come again and bring those with him to assist in the service. Freeman Jones does not talk much. He expressed himself as being ready for the end, and acts in a listless kind of way as if he sees something afar off.
