Welded.

Last Wednesday MI. J. o. Parks and
Miss Bessie e. Townsend were mar
rled at the M. e. parsonage, Rev. Ma
theny pronOuncing the ceremony that
made them husband and wife.
The groom is n of the most up
right and manly young men in town.
He is head clerk in the dry goods de-
partment in e. Bilharz & Sons store,
which responsible position he has held
for several years, holding the trust
and confidence of his employers and
gaining the esteem and good will of
his customers by a steady and invari-
able courtesy to all classes of people.
His steady christian character allows
him to see no distinction in life and
he has a kindly word and greeting for
everyone. While here his life has
been an exemplary n and shown
him to be able to hold a responsible
place in the world.
The bride is a young lady abound
ing in good common sense and wo-
manly grace. She has grown from
childhood to womanhood in our midst
and her friends have watched with
pleasure the transition with none of
those foolish frivolities so common to
girls. She has been for several years
in %. Bilharz & Sons large store and
those who come in contact with her
have always found her the same, al
ways courteous, womanly and oblig-
ing. Her winsome ways have made
a whole county of friends and her
beauty of character at home made her
the idol of her parents. She goes forth
into the new life with a wealth of love
few ever know or realize and her fu-
ture shines out bright and clear.
The young couple departed Wednes-
day evening for Newton where they
may remain for a couple of weeks Wis
iting with his relatives when they will
return and begin housekeeping.

Death of nrs. Grow.

Mrs. Milton Crow died last Saturday
evening of paralysis surrounded by her
loved ones and was buried Monday in
the Cameron Center cemetery.
The deceased was born in County
Amraugh in 1927 and came to America
when she was but eighteen years OF
age and settled in Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania. She was married there
to Joseph McMullen and they moved
to Thay er county in 1855. Five child
rem came to bless this union, two of
whom died in infancy. William died
in 1891 and Mrs. w. j. Frost at Kalis.
pei, Mont, and Mrs. e. j. Fenton both
survive. Mr.. McMullen died in 1861.
In 1862 she was married to Milton
Crow, at Waudea, Fayette county
who, at that time, had four children
by a former marriage, who accepted
her as mother and have always loved
her as such, all being with her when
she passed away. They are Mrs. w.
f. Gray, Mrs. w. j. Lancelot, and
Milton d. Crow, of Gray, and John A.
Crow, of Carroll. Miss Alta Crow is
the only child of this union. Thus
has a noble oma and kind mother
been swept to that mysterious realm of
the great hereafter. Her life strewn
with flowers of kindly deeds, as beau
tiful and aromatic as the sweet scented
ones that decked her in the church.
The music of her life was more trans.
cendent and potent than that which
filled the church on her funeral day.
She had lived to her husbands child
rem all that a mother could, as was
shown by their presence in this last
sad hours ministering in loving kind
ness to her wants.
She was a member of the Presbyte-
rian church and in harmony and touch
with the loving Fatherthat she bellev-
ed in and loved. The altar was a bow
err of flowers, given by the many
friends and organizations to which her
daughter, Alta, belongs.
She now sleeps beside her husband
who died in 1896 and there, when the
earth has sodded over, many of the
children Will go to decorate the two
graves while the incense of the pure
and holy lives comes, make them live
to grasp again those two hands that
lovingly stretch back to welcome them.

SHERIFF EDWARDS KILLED.
Negro Desperate is Killed Before the
Brave Officer Falls.

The killing of Sheriff Edwards, OF
Gadsden county, by the negro Sam
Armstrong, Saturday morning, was a
most deplorable affair. Full particu-
lars Of the double tragedy are given
by Quincy correspondent as follows:
Quincy. and Gadsden county are to-

death Of their highly honored and es-
teemed sheriff, Stephen F. Edwards,
VINO was slain yesterday by a negro by
the name Of Sam Armstrong, near

Sheriff Edwards left this city yester-
day having in custody negro who was

charge of murder. He (the sheriff)
with one of his deputies, left this city
yesterday morning bound for Coffee
county, Ca, via Faceville, Ca, where
he was to take the train for his desti-
nation, which he did. When the train
was within two miles Of Climax, Ca,
it is supposed that the negro prisoner,
who is thought to be member Of some
secret order, gave the sign of distress,
and the negro Armstrong came to ths
rescue. He attacked the sheriff, who

BLoXHAM NEWS NOTES.

Mr.. ]. j.. Ward, Of Ward, Fla, was at
Bloxham Sunday. While here Mr..
Ward witnessed life and death COM
bat between a large coachwhip snake
and hawk. The bird pounced down
on the reptile, with the intention of
enjoying square meal. As he at
tempted to soar into the air with his
prize, the squirming snake coiled itself
about his captor. There was a desDer-
ate struggle, and both came tumbling
to the ground. The hawk had caught
a Tartar. He couldn't let go, and It
meant death to hold on. The. fight
continued some time, when finally the
snake succeeded in coiling itself about
the hawks neck and choked him to
death. The reptile was badly disfgur-
ed by the hawks beak AMI talons, but
was able to crawl OF in the grass.

straightway realized the danger he was
tns drew his revolver and fired one shot
at Armstrong, which took effect, but
did not disable. and then Armstrong
clinched the sheriff, drawing his own
pistol, and holding the sheriff tightly
in his embrace; began to shoot him, as
; he carried him to the door of the car;
doubtless purposing to cast him from
the car. When on the platform OF the
car, it Is thought that the sheriff made
his last LIES effort, and the two men
fell together from the car of the NOV
ing train. As soon as possible, the
train was stopped and turned back to
get the bodies, and beside the track,
both dead, were tue sheriff and the ne
gro who had slain MIN, the prisoner
remaining in his seat throughout the
entire ARRAY.
Inc sheriff died with four balls from
the negrO's pistol in his body, two of
them taking effect very near the heart.
1t is not known what disposition was
made of the prisoner.
The first of this sad news came to
the city last night in the form of tele-
gram from the Hon. Thos. Mitchell,
clerk of the circuit court, dated River
Junction, Fla, and announcing mat the
remains of the sheriff were at that place
and requesting that he break the news
to the wife, and request her to proceed
to that place last night, which was
complied with.
Stephen F. Edwards was elected to
the ONCE Of sheriff last March, since
which time he has filled the position
with an honor that has made for him
self many friends. He was an ardent
member of the local lodges of both the
Masons and knights of Pythias, all of
whom will bear almost an equal SYM
pathy with the devoted wife and sew
eral little children who survive him.
He was a young man of about thirty
five years, and the remains were land
away at the old family burying ground
near ChattahOOchee today. Represen-
tatiVes from both of the mentioned
lodges in this city left to attend and TO
pay the last SAD rites to their devoted
brother. He was buried with hOnOrs
from both of these bodies.
