Mr. Vincent WILLOUGHBY, who lived near Toone, in this county has been missing from his home for several days, and the impression is that he is drowned in Hatchie bottom. Mr. WILLOUGHBY had been drinking and had been at Toone and Bolivar both, and when last seen, was on the railroad just north of the river under the influence of liquor. Mr. WILLOUGHBY is reported as a very careful man of his family, and no one supposes that he would have deserted them. He has a wife and four small children who are in destitute circumstances.
