citement and curiosity among the
guests. At the appointed time the
cob-web hunt was begun and each
young lady was told to chose a
string and follow it. Al the end
of this she found a heart on which
was a pen sketch, the work of Miss
Myrtle England. The most in
teresting string was that o. the
bride to be for hidden in numerous
places she found many bundles,
which being opened showed she
had been thoughtfully remember
ed by her girl friends! Among the
presents We're pieces OF cut glass,
china and useful articles of linen.

GOfero Held
Without Bail
Squire Ferrill Says He Must
Stand Trial in Criminal
Court.

The preliminary trial Of j. W,
Goferro which was begun Wednes-
day morning before Squire Ferril
was concluded Saturday evening
when Mr.. Ferril declared that
Goferro should await the action of
the criminal court and be impris on

favorablr decision for the state,
represented by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Barbee and assisted by Col.
Robt. B. Ruff.
Mr.. Goferro is defended by r.
M. Reynolds and A. r. James.
There were practically no new
developments from those publish
ed two weeks ago except that Co.
ferro's statement of the shooting
goes more into detail than former
ly. He said "Upon leaving the

to see who the man was. What
first attracted our attention to the

HE did not move and after
challenging him the second time to
move took out my gun and
held it up in the air and shot IN
over his head to frighten him from
me. He then rushed at me and was
within three feet of me when LpuJ
ed the trigger the second time and
fired at him. I fired the last two

me and could not tell whether he
was armed or not. After shooting
the third time 1 hit him a lick with
my cane and broke it.
Mr., Goferro's attorneys contend

and requested his discharge.
