Shooting in Winchester.

The two suhjoined communications.
one to the Nashville American and
one to the Nashville Banner, tell as
much as we know about q difficulty in
Winchester which created some talk
and excitement last Friday:
WINCHESTER, Aug. 10, 1S7S.-A
shooting affair occurred yesterday in
the Courthouse, while the court was
IN session. 1t seems that Capt. Greg
orv. q member Of our bar, got up to
leave the courtroom, which is up
stairs. As he left, Mr.. Williams, a
lawyer, vino lives some distance IN the
country, got up and followed Capt.
Gregory with a hickory stick in his
hand. After passing out the court
room door, Capt. Gregory went down
one flight of stairs and Mr.. Williams
the other. Capt. G. stopped on the
stairway to talk to Attorney-General
Tillman. When he stopped Mr.. VIII.
liams went on down and stationed him
self at the bottom, in the hall or vesti-
bule. Col. Tillman passed on up the
stairs, and n young man. Mr.. Payne,
coming on down about this time, Capt.
Gregory started to accompany him.
When they arrived at the foot of the
stairs, Mr.. Williams ran at Capt. Greg
DRY with a stick, saying, "D-n you,
I've got you now" He struck at
Capt, Gregory across Mr.. Payne, hit
ting both. Several blows were struck
with the stick, creating a noise which
was heard distinctly in the courtroom
and all around the Square. In the
melee Capt. Gregory shot Mr.. Will
liams, inflicting a slight flesh wound on
the muscle of the back just at the
point of the hip. This closed the diff
Guilty. as neither party knew the extent
of the injury until some time after
wards. Judge Williams required both
parties to enter into bond TO keep the
peace for six months. Mr.. Williams
did not like tho way Capt. Gregory
spoke of him in a certain lawsuit in
which he had been a witness. aud had
borrowed the stick before with the in

WINCHESTER, Tenn, Aug. 8, 1873
Quite an excitment was caused in our
town this morning by a difficulty be-
tween Col. Tom. Williams upon one
side, aud Capt, L. D. Gregory and an
other party. name unknown, on the
other, which resulted in the shooting OF

serious one. Col. Williams states that
he was knocked down by some one,

1t has come at last. Everybody
wished for it. sighed for il, prayed for
it. The twisted blades of fodder, the
withered grass. and all nature seemed
TO join man in asking kind Heaven for
q cool, refreshing shower, if not a reg
ular "root-soaker.' And il came last
Sunday. 1t made us so happy that we
put off the shoes from our feet and
walked barefoot about our yard upon
the soft, cool grass. the blades OF
which were lifting themselves up as il
in JOY because of the blessed rain.
But we fear it came too lale to help
corn very much. Still. it was most
welcome. 1t put an end to the calni-
val of dust which made travelling un-
pleasant, and it replenished clsterns,
and it cooled the hot atmosphere. We
are half inclined to believe the saying
that every year the good people meet
at Goshen camp'ground trains. They
met there last Saturday, and it rained
next day. And the meeting IS going
on still, and still it rains.

Residences in Winchester seem To
be in demand. We suppose this is in
consequence Of the incoming patron
age to our schools. Many persons
who have nice homes elsewhere arc
trying TO secure temporary homes here
so that they may be convenient to the
"Mary Sharp" or the Normal" Sew
eral well to do farmers of Franklin
county prefer to rent houses rather
than board their children.

For twenty years or more there has
been a tafk in Winchester for q good
hotel, and We fear a like talk will be
heard for twenty years to come. There
is no doubt that a summer hotel in the
suburbs Of Winchester would ''pay.'
There arc one hundred people, or
more, in Tu!lahoma to day, half Of
whom would be in Winchester if they
could have gotten accommodations
We venture to say that at least five
hundred persons would spend from
one to four months in Winchester each
year if they could be accommodated.
And it would be a splendid invest
mcnt If some Of our monled men would
put up u nice building upon some nice
lot in town, and let it 90 rent-fr to
some one who would furnish it and
take boarders from a distance. We
venture to say that board could be
given at one half what is charged a:
fashionable watering places and a
handsome profit realized. Besides,
about $4,000 would be spent in our
town, and this money would go into
the pockets of the people in general
the farmer, the merchant, mechanic,
laborcr, and even the lawyer, the doc
tor and printer. But VIC have no en-.
terprise in Winchester. Nature has
furnished US with good atmosphere,
free from all contagious; with good
water of every type; with beautiful
scenery, &c, but there is no enterprise
to utilize these advantages. We all wait
for something to turn up, just as DICK
ems Macawber did. We spend our
breath in prating of our natural adj
v~antages, but shrink f,om spending a
dime in order to make those advan
tages pay us in dollars and cents. We
are DOT so blind as we are selfish ana
stupid. We hold a'nickel too close to
our eyes. so that q dollar does not
come within the range OF our vision.
We wish it were otherwise, and then
we would not have had 50 much trou'
BILE this week to find accommodations
for five ladies and four children who
wanted TO come 10 Winchester 10

are none so blind as those who will
