One jim Bouknight and one Gene
Miles q characterless dusky dam
sci, were shot by one William Vel
Cell, who Immediately shook the
dust from his feet and left f r

into Miss Miles anatomy. She
has caused more rows in
Edgefeld among negro men
than forty barrels of s'pop

town council should invite all OF
her stripe to leave town and insist
upon an immediate acceptance of
the invitation.
