look Tor the fostering influence that saved

Wilson lay, which gave tree range 10
trusts unless engaged In the importing

a heart in Mitchell county to
be saddened, for no man In the
county was perhaps more
greatly loved.
William Ledford, of Snow
creek lies at his home with two
serious if not dangerous,
wounds in his back as the re :
suits of a kick which he gave
Stokes johnson, a young man
Of the same neighborhood. 1t
seems that Ledford had for
hidden johnson going with his
{ Ledford's )stepdaughter, but
this johnson could not do, and
was with her Sunday when
Ledford met them in the road.
He made his stepdaughter go
home and then gave johnson a
hard kick. Like a flash his
antagonist turned on him, and
stove his knife in Ledford's
back twice, both times the
knife going to the hollow.
