Burrel Barker vent to Whitwell
Monday. Likewise George White, and
as he was en- route from the city his
team ran away and broke his check
lines IN two ana damaged several spokes
in one of his wagon wheels. lie was
luck enough not to be in the wagon
when the runaway occurred. R. l.. Las
alter says he mstook the team for the
lightning express as it passed by his
residence. The team was young mules
and they ran down hill. No wonder
r. L. Lasater thought the express was
passing By.

Joe Pickett of Browns Chapel pass
ed through this vicinity Friday of last
week en- route from Whitwell and we
had little interview with him. lie
says that while he was on Cumberland
Mountain after that wagon load of APP
plies that Owl spoke of in recent issue
of the News he snapped farms with
John McWilliams. The writer examin-
ed the deed that McWilliams made to
Pickett and therefore he knows that
the trade was fact The farm that
Joe Pickett got from McWilliams is at
Tatesville, Grundy Co., Tenn. Joe
says he will move his family from
Chapel this week to his Grundy County
farm at Tatesville. The writer being
acquainted with both farms can tru th.
fully say that Joe has made a good
deal. The history of Joe Pickett the
past three weeks has been wonderful,
but all that have written about Mr.
Pickett is true and no one need have
any doubts about it.
