SMOTHERED IN MUD.

Monday night Wm. G. Hutchings, a prominent farmer near Darlington, met his death in a horrible manner. He was going home from town, and in the darkness his team ran off a small unguarded bridge. Hutchings fell under the wagon and was literally smothered to death in the mud. He leaves a family.
