CLAIBORNE.
 The Advocate has the following in reference to a deplorable occurrence:

 We regret to learn that a difficulty between Dr. J.F. Gladney, Mr. A.M.
Simmons and J.E. Ferguson, occurred near town a few evenings since, in
which Mr. Ferguson was severly wounded by a cut.  He lived but a short
time.  We do not know the particulars, and as the matter will undergo a
judicial investigation, we refrain from expressing any further opinion.
