Fatal Shooting
AT Sites
{. ". Williams killed and Harry Shiss-
Ter badly Wounded.
rpOURLE OWED a GIpL
ShissIer claims to have shot in self de-
fense-NOw lies 10 Jail.

About noon last Friday another
shooting scrape with fatal results
was pulled off in this county. The
affair took p!=oe at Sites and re-
suited in E. w. Williams, a black
smith, being killed and Harry
Shissler being severely wounded.
Several different stories are told OF
the shooting and opinion is pretty
we'll divided. From what can be
learned the trouble arose in the
kitchen of the White Front restau-
rant, in which Williams was in
terested with Mrs. Harris. 1t ap-
pears Shissler had been trying to
induce one of the girls at the res
taurant to go to Portland with HIM
and when Mrs. Harris objected to
it shissler, who had been drinking,
abused her and the girl. When
Williams came to dinner be was
told of it and called ShissleT into
the kitchen and asked him about
it. Shissler admitted the charge
and it is said Williams slapped
him. Then the shooting COM
menced and two different stories
are told of 1T. Some claim that
Shissler then pulled his gun and
shot at Williams but missed him.
Williams then shot Shissler
through the arm and both then
fred at the same time, Williams
being shot through the stomach,
the bulle! lodging in the backbone,
and Shissler being shot through
the side. Williams died almost
Immediately but Shissler walked
TO his club room and was later tax
en- home. He claims to have fired
over Williams head and ordered
him to stop but when Williams
shot him through the arm he fired
10 self defense and killed him and
at the same time was shot through
The side. Shissler was later taken
to Grangeyille to Jail where he is
being nursed by his wife. Will
lans' body was shipped to Garfield
for burial.
Shissler is about 30 years Of age
and has lived most of his life in
this county. He has always been
father quarrelsome and his repu-
ahon has been none of the hest.
Williams is said to have deserted
OILS family several years ago and
PERSONS who know both men say
nat Shissler was really the best of
'he two. While Shissler'p wounds
are bad they are not necessarily
dangerous and he will probably re-
cover, His preliminary examina.

In last weeks issue of this

had been 5 patents taken out by
negroes, the same being a typo
graphical error and should
have read 500 instead of 5. The
advancement of the negro has
been marvellous, and he bids
fair to become quite a factor in
the business world. A useful
citizen to any loo lily is one
who exerts all his energy and
afforts towards building up his

what he can to advance civil

Successful Banks Pay Interest.

1t will be interesting to some to
know that the most successful banks
in the whole United States are the
banks that pay interest on deposits, and
that this community is one of the very
few spots on the globe where the banks
do not pay interest on deposits. Such
banks as as the Farmers Bank, OF
Nansemond, Suffolk, Va, which after
paying a dividend of 25 per cent to its
stockholders annually has made four
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on a
capital of $4,000, and many other
banks which have made a phenomenal
success are the banks that pay inter
est on deposits.
In many of the towns where the
banks pay interest on deposits the rate
of discount is lower than it is in this
community. We think a depositor is
entitled to interest on his deposit and
the many years experience of the Off
GERS of our bank, in other banks, has
taught us that we can we'll afford to pay
our depositors interest.
Careful attention given to all branch
es of banking, and three per cent inter-
est paid on all sums deposited in our
savings department.
