Miss Mariah Nash, the oldest
citizen living within our town

remember that account six weeks

since that time she has been a

Nash is greatly beloved by all

affection she has the sincere SYM

Five or six residences were en-
tered in Hillsboro by burglars in
the night time last week. So
far as we can learn the object of
the burglar in each instance was
to get something to eat, as only
cooked food was stolen or carried
off. AS burglary in the first de-
gree is punishable by death, it
seems like a mighty risky busi-
ness to run the risk of being
hung for something to eat, when
our people are always ready and
willing to give food for the ask

Sunday afternoon at $50 o'clock.
He was down street Saturday

to a barber shop and was given a

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART.
Maynard GOsS Killed by ]. B. Harris
Saturday Afternoon In B. ". Hob.
GOODS Store,

goods Store.
The first thing that greeted on,
on the streets last Saturday af
ternoon about six o'clock was
"have you heard about a man be
ing killed in Hobgood's store?'
Inquiry revealed the fact that J.
B. Harris, assistant foreman al
the Durham Hosiery Mill, anC
who clerks for B. w. Hobgoed
every Saturday afternoon and
night, had shot Maynard Goss.
Any particulars of the affair are
difficult to obtain. There are all
kinds of rumors afioat, and the
true state of things that lead to
the fatal end will not be brought
out until the matter gets into the
superior court.
The only facts that could be
obtained are that Goss went into
Hobgood's store Saturday after
noon and approached Harris, and
the next thing any of those in
the store knew was the report of
a pistol, and in a few seconds
Goss was lying on the floor.
Harris gave himself up to an of
ficer and was locked up in Jail,
where he will remain until the
grand jury has acted on the
charges.
The body of the deceased Goss
was carried to the undertaking
establishment of J. S. Hall & Co.. ,
and at Sis O'Clock the coroner's
jury was sworn in, and DR.. N.
M. Johnson conducted an autop-
sy. Sunday afternoon the cor
oner's jury met at the court
house and heard enough evidence
to send the prisoner over to the

could not have been more fatal,
as the ball entered the center OF
the breast and ranged down and
to the left just enough to pass
through the center of the heart,
passing on through the left lung
and lodging just under the skin
of the back between the seventh
and eighth rib.
After the autopsy the body OF
Goss was turned over to relatives.
and the interment took place
Monday.
Immediately after the shoot
ing Harris offered his pistol to
one of the clerks in the store and
requested him to phone for an
officer, and about that time po'
liceman Lewter arrived on the
scene and took charge Of the
prisoner, and carried him to the
lookup. Harris refuses to make
any statement regarding th'
cause Of the shooting, as also tn
friends and relatives Of Goss.
As stated above there are al
kinds of rumors ahoat regarding
the cause eff the trouble leading
to the fatal end, but there
nothing definite for the reaso
