His shot gun which he always carried with him was found on the ground loaded. The old gentleman was 79 years of age, aud was born in North Caro- lina but has lived for many years in this county and Bates. As he was subject to heart disease it is thought he had an attack while crossing the lot and the hogs, ot which there were 150 in the lot, finding his body devoured it. The bones were gnaw- ed clean. c. H. Dutcher, Geo? L. smith, Whi? E. walton, J. 88 Jenkins, MAX JUDD RE 2CTED.
