\nA Sad Case of Drowning<\/strong>
\nShortly after the death of his father, A M Bogle Esq of Taylorsville in May last, his son Lawrence, a promising youth of 16 years, went to Macon Miss to live with his brother W H Bogle of the firm of Jarnagin, Bogle & Jarnagin, attorneys at laws. A letter received last week from Mr W H Bogle by Mr Coborn Stewart of Taylorsville informed him of the death of Lawrence Bogle by drowning. He with several others was bathing in a river near Macon. He was playing with one of the boys on the steep and slippery banks when they slipped and rolled together out into the deep channel of the stream. Young Bogle was caught around the neck by his companion-who could not swim-and being thus deprived of the motion of his arms was held under the water and drowned before help could reach him. The other boy was saved but was black in the face and almost dead when taken from the water.
\nThe news of the death of young Bogle was received in Taylorsville with great regret. He was a youth of exceptionally fine character and habits and was a universal favorite.<\/p>\n
