young man named Robertson and s
negro by the name of Gilbert at
Fogg's grocery. last Saturday. Fogg
the grocery keeper, and the negro
had falling out and were having
some hard words, when Robertson
took Fogg's part and made at the
negro for a fight, whereupon the
negro drew a revolver and shot
Robertson. The ball passed
through the upper abdomen, lodg
ing in his back. The negro left
for parts unknown. Robertson was
carried to his home over in Alabama
and late report says that he had
died.
"A very unfortunate accident
happened here last Tuesday. Tom
my Tomerlin and Henry Rotenberry,
two little boys, were out in the
woods hunting and had wounded a
squirrel which had crawled into a
hollow log. Rotenberry was look
ing in at one end of the log while
Tomerlin was punching in the
other end with the muzzle of his
rifle, and by some means it went off
and the ball passing through the
log entered Rotenberry's forehead
and striking the skull bone glanced
upward, inficting a serious wound.
There is some hope of his getting
well.
The news reached here lately
that Lem Vaughn had died at
his home in Texas. Richard
Vaughn, his father, went to Texas
last FEBRUARY with a family of six
children. Some time in March
three of them died, last September
another one, the wife of Joe Glas-
glow, also died, and in December
last Lem passed away, being five
that have died within the course of
nine months.

an honorable citizen and excellent
farmer.

There was a social pound par
ty given at DIR. B. B. Roberts last

enjoyed and there were also several
excellent dinners given in the
neighborhood.
The most interesting event of
Christmas week was a Christmas
tree for the Sunday school at
Shorts school house Monday night,
and many little hands were made
glad by the nice presents they re-
ceived. The old people were not
forgotten in the distribution, The
success of the affair was due to the
of the school. 1t was or
yanized last spring and now it |
lumbers with the best schools in |
,he county. AS they are in need Of
. larger house, steps have been ia
zen to build one soon. The school
wishes to return their thanks to
Mr.. Henry NJ. Grigsby for his as
distance in getting up appropriate
presents for the children. We like
o forgot to state that Old Sante
Clause was on hand and distribu-
ed the presents and of course he
contributed greatly to little peoples
un.
Events may have occurred in
his neighborhood that have not
zen reported, and if so 1T is be-
ause they were kept too still. 1
10 not intend to show .partiality to
ny, but to represent the communi
y to the best of my ability.
