A Sick Man.

Rev. 10. McLeskey, one of the old
est and best known men in the min.
lstry Of this county, is reported
very low this week at the home OF
his son, Rev. Hamp McLeskey, at
Fulton. The elder McLeskey is a
Cumberland Presbyterian preacher,
as we'll as his son. He belongs to
the old school of revivalists whose
influence has been felt all over this
section of country. He was loved
and honored by thousands and up
to few weeks was still active and
popular among his people.
Rev. McLeskey was located at
Newborn. When Sheriff Dunlap

home to Newbern for burial and
the minister attended the funeral.
He caught a severe cold and from
that time grew worse, finally going

Boys Caught.

Several young town boys were
arrested last week and tried before
the Mayor. Two were found guilty
OF stealing chickens and others for
taking the running gear of an old
buggy from Schmidt & Owens
blacksmith shop, after these gen.

have it. The boys were fined and
reprimanded. We opine that some
of these boys will have cause to re.

Our Country Best.

DR.. w. M. Turner has returned
from a months visit to Texas
Most OF the time was spent with
his father and brother a t Fort
Worth, the remainder at South
Texas points. The Doctor says
that he is feeling like a new man,
but returns with the impression
that this is the greatest country on
earth. He informs us also that he
comes back with greater interest in
Union City's future prosperity. He
thinks that the business men here
should take greater interest in pub.
lie utilities. He deprecates the fact
that there were no business men at
the courthouse Saturday to meet
Mr.. Craddock who wants to give us
cannery. Quite number of farm
ers were present, it is true, but that
is not the way to boost our advan-
tages. The business men should
have been there for at least a few
minutes. Mr.. Craddock has bust
ness proposition to offer, that's all.
He doesn't want any money or ex-
emptions, but simply sufficient
acreage to supply the cannery and
reception that would assure him
that he is welcome.
We will. however, have to apollo
gize for these gentlemen. 1t was
Saturday and they we're all very
busy. They don't have time some
times to read the city papers till
Sunday and probably did not know
all the facts III the case, especially
the hour of meeting. We assure
Mr.. Craddock that he will be per-
fectly welcome to Union City-he
and his family to our homes and
circles. They will be doubly well
come if he will excuse the business
men for their remissness.
Several farmers were present aud
agreed to put in tomato crop and
several others have the matter I'M

light by Charley Foster, who was
passing. He was lying with the
pistol under him, from which two
chambers had been emptied. The
body was cold and the inference is
that the deed was done sometime
before midnight. The bullet entered
the back of the head behind the
right ear. On his person were found
ladies' gold watch, large silver
watch, and 81 so in money. Sheriff
Chiles was notified between 5 and
6 o'clock and coroner's jury was

was about 80 years of age, an Odd

as suspect aud several witnesses
examined.
The first, Chas. DeBow, testified
that he had seen Edwards and that
Edwards said he had been out hav-
ing good time and that DeBow
ought to have been with him. This
occasioned more suspicion and an
other session of court was held
Tuesday. The Sheriff and Deputy
Wiley summoned nearly all the col
ored population Tuesday and tried
to secure some eliminating evil
dence, but could establish nothing
leading to Edwards connection
with the murder. On the other
hand Edwards proved his wherea.
bouts from noon until 9 or 10 o 'clock
at night. He showed conclusively
that he bad not been to the grave

The shooting occurred about s 30
CLOCK. IL was neard Dy MT john |

Very few people here believe in
the suicide theory. The bullet en-
tered well to the rear of the ear on
the right side and came out on the
temple on the lett side, ranging in
a line in which it would be almost
impossible to hold revolver for the
purpose of suicide.
Murder is the general opinion,
and that means work for the officers.
