A marriage tinged with a little
romance occurred last Sunday in
the ropton neighborhood, eight
miles north of Meridian. }. Il.
Sanders and +. T. Newell were
suitors for the hand of Miss Mollie
Hobgood, very attractive and
popular young lady, and it seems
that an understanding was reached
that each should secure license,
and the one thus prepared for the
nuptial knot who should reach the
young lady's home first would be
accepted. The licenses were issued
and the race for bride was begun,
and throughout the eight miles that
interviewed Newell had the tleetest
horse and beat Sanders 10 the goal
only few minutes. He was de-
clared the winner and awarded the
prize.

ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATI
Town Marshal Paul. j.
bullion Shot by Un-
known Parties.

Between IL and l2 O'Clock last
Wednesday night, Town Marshal
raul Dulion was shot, by unknown
parties, through the right breast,
across the back and in the left arm.
1t seems that a colored man by
the name Of Swinson, went to him
for protection from a crowd
who were after him, and after the
third call, MIR. Dulion came out
of his house, where he had gone
to bed, and asked the parties to 60
on, and let Swinson alone. Then
q general firing commenced, over
a dozen shots being fired, and when
the shooting was over, it was found
that Marshal Dulion was shot
through the back, in the right
breast and in the left arm.
DR. G. z. Williams was promptly
called in and dressed his wounds,
and at last accounts he was getting
along as well as could be expected.
The colored man, Swinson, was
arrested rs q material witness.
Prior to the occurance, q house
in the rear of the colored Metho-
dist Church had been shot into.
Marshal Dullon ia an efficient
and fearless officer, and was shot
down in the discharge of his duty.
No effort should be spared by the
State, Parish and Town authors
ties TO bring his ASSISTANTS to JUS
tice.
Mr.. Chas. Hosmer was arrested
yesterday morning, accused OF be-
ing one of the parties to the shoot
ing, and Sheriff Strobe took him
and Swinson to New Orleans on
the morning train.

On the Wing,

will give you few things have picked
up on my itinerary. Wheat in Maury county
was looking well when left. The phosphate
interest was somewhat crippled by the war.
War was nearly the only thing talked about.
Maury county has sent good many of her
brave boys to defend their country. Several
went from Waynesboro. We have lately held
III, quarterly mee,ngs..for Clifton and sayan-
nah circuits The conference for Clifton was
at Lone Chestnut just across the river. 1t is
called Lone Chestnut because there is but
one chestnut tree near there. We had de-
lightful meeting. The Sunday-school is do
ing first rate. The young pastor Rev. G. L.
Hensley is held in high esteem. At Shady
Hill on the Savannah circuit we had most
enjoyable meeting. The congregations were
large and attentive and interest was great. A
goody number of sinners gave their hands
and promised to lead better life. The peo-
pie are very hospitable in that community
We left them with regrets that we could not
spend more time with them. We FASTENED to
Savannah to receive our mail from home.
This is one of our longest trips away from
home. 1t will be about one month. We are
spending a few days at Idnerants Rest on the
banks Of Horse creek. J. w. HENsLEY.

Jane Ross was born July Is,
1912, in Hardin county, Tennessee,
her parents, Benaja Peacock and
wife, emigrated to Tennessee from
Randolph county, N. O., in 1920.
Jane Ross professed religion, Aug
ust, 1S67,and was married to John
Ross, September Oath, 1868 and
in the same year-lS6S-joined
the NJ. Il. Church, South, and
moved to Arkansas in 1877, and
joined the NJ. d. Church, in 1881,
and departed this life Feb. %, 1898.
Sister Ross leaves "a husband
and two daughters, one married
and one single. Two daughters
died in childhood, she also leaves
two grandchildren. Sister Ross
has gone to the re ward that awaits
all Of the good. She bore her
sickness as one who looked to a
recompense of reward in another
world, and said that the change
would be q happy one. Hickory
Valley has lost one of its best
women, the church one of its best
members, and she will be missed
by old and young, and we can say
as in the language of the apostle
Paul, she has fought a good fight
and has kept the faith, and finish
ed her course in this life, but hel
friends and children and husband
need not mourn as those who have
no hope. But be faithful, and the
crown is at the end of the race.

ANOTHER BOAT LOST
The Andrew Williams Goes Down
Amid Loud Shouts and
Wild Confusion.

On Thursday, May 8, the An
drew Williams, owned by Welch
Bros. and used for boating rock
down Horse Greek TO their mill,
while coming down the stream
heavily loaded, succumbed to the
great weight and began sinking
to the bottom Of the roaring tor
rent. The quick eye of the cool
and courageous Capt. Williams,
soon took in the situation; so he
notified his crew to swim for life.
The mates, Doran and Williams,
Jr., becoming seized with fright,
leaped frantically into the water
and rapidly swan ashore. The
strain being too great for the pi-
lot, Martin, he followed in quick
pursuit. The gallant captain
stood on the sinking boat"whence
all but him had fed" and gave
orders to the boys swimming
ashore. The water, by this time,
had reached the faithful captains
chin; so with a sad face and eyes
filed with tears, he was forced to
leave his boat and quietly swim
ashore. The great courage and
GOODNESS displayed by Capt. Will
liams would, we think, fully justi-
fly us in recommending him to
President Mckinley for comman-
der of one of our war vessels.
