Durham Tobacco Plant: Mr. Jackson HORTON, a very esteemed and valuable citizen living in the northeastern portion of Chatham county, who was fatally injured by being thrown from a mule a few days since, died at his residence last night. His many friends will be grieved to hear of this fatal accident that has befallen such a good man. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his untimely loss. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathies.
