ought Atef Din ner To er and One is Dangerously Injured. A dispatch from Greenville says that Thomas Austin, a well known resident of Greenville, vas perhaps mortally wounded in a fight with Thomas Ross, a well known plumber, Sunday afternoon in Tanner & Wood's livery stable on west Wash ington street. Autin and Ross prior to the difficul tv are said to have been the best of friends. Ross dined with Austin at the latter's home on Washington stret Sunday, and everything was go ing along smoothly between the two men until they engaged in a scuffle, and Austin, becoming angry struck Ross several bloWs in the face. Ross is a good-natured man, and it is said it takes a great deal to provocate him. He became angry, however, at the rough treatement Austin gave him, 'and picked up a rake leaning against the wall nearby. Austin continued ta abuse him, and he struck him a blow over the head with the rake,. which will probably prove fatal. At the time it was thought Austin was not badly injured but upon examination of the wound by a physician it was discovered the skull was crushed. Austin's physicians decided that an operation was necessary, and the op eration was successfully performed, but the man's condition is extremely grave. The skull was crushed in the centre of the crown and the physi cians took from the brain several pieces of crushed skull. . Ross regrets the occurrence very much, and is doing all within his power for the injured man. It is said that Austin was drinking heavily Sunday, and that he was doubtless lost to all reason when he attacked Ross. Austin is a son of Col. Frank Aus tin of Fork Shoals. He Was at one time a member of the police force. A Sensible Marriage. Statesville. Landmark. Mr. Henry Page and Miss Annie Crouse were married ' Thursday. It was a marriage ..dnd unique. There was nothir. fthe same-old thingness about it. The bride was not dressed in a handsome going-away gown and did not carry a lovely bo quet of maiden hair ferns. The color scheme was not pink and white, neither was Mendelssohn's rendered by the accomplished Miss Anybody at all. I' was all primitive, simple sincerity. Good old Father Wyatte performed the ceremony. He had known them all their lives. He just talked to them sensibly, soothingly, as to a petted child. They had never been married before and were bashful and timid. Henry, do you take Anne? Anne, do you take Henry? to live to gether and love one another so long as ye both shall live, world without end, Amen. Two sensible people were married at a sensible age and Peverybody is glad.
