Of Elder John Lay, Of Taylor county, was
buried at the Brush Creek Church on the
18th. Died Of spinal disease.
The Baptists had a Foot Washing ON
Brush Creek last Sunday. Don't suppose
they had il before II was needed. Cues il
is somewhat embarrassing to pull off and
show before a congregation aud preacher.
Thomas j. Peyton, Jr., died at his res
idence on the Big South Rolling Fork last
Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, Of typhoid
fever, after only ten days sickness. This
is a sad DEATH as he was young man in
the morning Of life, with bright prospects
for the future
Social life in this place is rapidly i'm
proving. We had the pleasure last week
Of attending two parties, one at Mr.. Elias
Kidd, on Thursday evening, the other at
w. II. Wilkinson's ON Saturday evnning.
All Of the beauty and gallantry Of Liberty
and vicinity we're present on both occa-
sions. The music was frst.c class, and the
dancing, so unusual here, was never enjoy
ed better by those who have had long eI-
perience. We are improving, and il we
only had dancing teacher we would soon
be prepared to enjoy life in good style.
Miss Annie Belden, an accomplished
and popular young lady from Lebanon, is
whiting Miss Dollie Cabbell. Miss Mollie
HAYS, one Of Russell's fairest daughters,
after a visit Of three weeks, left us last
Tuesday. Beautiful, popular and possess
ed Of a wonderful mind, her stay was like
sunbeam in our midst which we trust
will shine again ere long. Jesse Royalty
went to Lexington last Tuesday to attend
the Commercial College. lie takes with
him the best wishes Of this entire commu-
nifty. Prof. G. X. Waters was in town last
Saturday.
The dancing picnic on Casey's Creek,
last Wednesday, promised to be grand
success. There was a large crowd present.
The music and dancing begun at o'clock
and continued until H. The table was
loaded down with good things, and about
one-third of the people had begun to eat,
when the hardest rain we ever saw begun
to fall. The dinner was soon too soft to be
good, and the people were all hunting
shelter; sometimes we could see four or five
under one umbrella; four-ffths of them
got wringing wet, and we never saw as ma
ny dripping white dresses and ruined hats
in our lives. IL was bad for the girls to
get wet but the whole crowd looked like
they had been baptized.
Last Monday was County Court day
There was large crowd in town. j. w
Allen and NJ. ]. Farris. Of Danville, were
here and purchased Of j. NJ. Allen two
good work mules for $3.50. They pur-
chased of James Williams, mules at
Sl25 per head, and one from James L. Al
len for 1925. At 10 o'clock the candidates
began to speak and consumed the who'll
e evening The thing is getting lively in al
Of the races, and the boys get up beautiful
pictures Of each other. The records arr
being closely hunted in the races for Coun
ty Judge and County Attorney, and ar

two valuable bird dogs were shot Saun
ders was shot on the right side in tn
groin. DIR. o. II. McRoberts dressed tn

not necessarily fatal. The shooting tool
: place near the stable OF the Napier Hotel
y We were not present and failed to lear

= that Saunders shot himself. There wer
seven or eight shots fired, three or fou

whether Saunders shot himself or Was she
by some one. There was great excitemer
for awhile.
