A VERY SAD OCCURRENCE Last week Daniel Deaton, Will Parish, of Marcus, Montgomery county, and W. It. Parker, of Hoffman, start, d down to Laurinburg on a trading expedition. ' Deaton and Parish took their guns, e'c, and were hunting along the way. They reached Ida Mills, in Scotland county, Friday night, and were stopping at the home of a son-in-law of Mr. Dea- ton. They were up late, it seems, and Deaton noticed Parish had his gun. He took it from him. remarkincr that he had no use for it at that time of night. Dea ton put tlie gun' in the wagon and went to attend to his horse. As he returned he found Parish in front of the wagon with the gun rn his hands. Deaton took hold of the breech and asked Parish to give it to him. A scuffle ensued and the gun was accidentally discharged, kill ing Parish instantly, the whole charge going through his heart. There were no other person present. A coroner's inquest was held over the remains, but as the men were the best of friends, and there being no evidence of any trouble, and that the affair was purely accidental, the jury discharged the matter. Mr. Deaton is a good citizen, and is almost crazed over the occurrence.: Mr. Parish was also a splendid man with the exception of one fault. - We are sorry to add. whiskey played its usual role. It was a lamentable affair. The deceased was in the prime of life and leaves a wife and an aged mother dependent upon him for support. See Arenson & Sussmau for bargains in Clothing.
