CLAIBORNE.
A.S. Carson died at the parish poor house last Sunday.  He was from Winston,
Miss., and had left there, where he had a family, on account of some trouble
in which he had been involved.  He came to this parish a short time since an
set in to make a crop near Lisbon, but his health failed, his money give out
and he was sent to the poor house.  He appeared to be a well raised man.  A
letter was received from Mississippi after Carson’s death stating that his
troubles there had been about settled and asking that good care be taken of
him as he was innocent.  Carson had told parties before his death that he
had been involved in trouble and had shot two men. –Homer Journal.
