Notes From Franklin County Advocute.

Notes From Franklin County Advocate.
Mr.. Claude Bowen, of John McGrath
& Sons, Brookhaven, spent Monday
house.
Little Miss Maggie Scott, after
spending visit of several weeks with
Brookhaven relatives, returned home
Monday.
Miss Eliza Newman, the charming
young daughter of Mr.. w. S. Newman,
of Bogue Chitto, is visiting her cousin,
Miss Rita PROXY, this week.
A. Fl. Buie, of Waxahachie, Texas, is
spending few days here visiting his
relatives and Franklin county friends
of long ago. Mr.. Buie was formerly a
citizen of this county and brother of
Mr.. Dan Buie, deceased. This is his
first visit to his old home since he
left here, thirty-one years ago. His
old friends here are pleased to see
him in robust health, and to know that
Lone Star state.
Mr.. ]. @. Byrd, road contractor, was
tried and convicted in Justice Hills
court, in district l last week on a
charge of obstructing the public high
way. The complaint was filed by
Mr.. William Halford and it was de-
veloped in the trial that the obstruct-
ion complained of was a ditch across
the road, formed by natural causes
and from neglect of the contractor to
make repairs in due time. Mr.. Byrd
was taxed with fine of 1926 and costs.
He appealed to the circuit court.
VII. Womack surprised his Mead
vile friends, last Monday when he
drove in town with lady, went
straight for the circuit clerks office,
procured a marriage license, hunted up
Justice Scott and then and there, &C
cording to the laws of God and man took
to himself wife. The fair lady of Mr..
Womack's choice was Mrs. Emma E.
Hamilton, of Wesson, who was visiting
in Franklin where she was wooed and
won by our friend Billy, who, by the
way, is one of Franklin's best citizens.
The Advocate extends congratulations,
with the sincere hope that love, happi-
ness and prosperity may attend this
worthy couple through all the walks
of life.

Double Tragedy.

Allen Wallace, colored, who lives
on the Henry Towns place about four
miles from Brookhaven on the Red
Star road, murdered his wife Monday
with a shot gun which he discharged
into her face at close range, and then
disappeared. Early next morning
Wallace was found dead in the woods
nearby, with the side of his head
blown off and still holding to the gun
with one hand. Opinion is divided as
to whether he committed suicide or
accidentally caught the hammer of
the gun in the brush as he was going
through the woods.
1t is stated that he and his wife had
been separated for awhile and that
Monday he went to his mother in
laws home where his wife was staying
and endeavored first to persuade her
to return to his home and then to
force her, and failing in this, he MUIR
dered her on the spot.
