Richard Hudson, one of Marion
County's oldest citizens, died at his
home four miles east of here on VALID
ems ridge this week, after some four
months illness, Mr.. Hudson was about
so years old, and was born and raised
here and was we'll known as Uncle
Dick. - He was a brother of John
Hudson, who died a few years ago
near New Hope, and also brother of
E. A. Hudson, who resides at Whit
we'll, and Uncle Billie Hudson who
died at Cedar Springs some time back.
All lived to ripe old age.
John W. Cline, an aged citizen who
resides at New Hope, is given up by
medical authority TO be beyond medi-
cal aid, and perhaps will pass to the
beyond before another issue of the
News.
We were shocked to learn of the sad
death of Mrs, John King, of Durham,
Ga, formerly of Whltwell, who was
run down by motor car aud was kill
ed. Mr.. and Mrs, King resided at
Whitwell and were here in the begin
ming of the town, and lived here some
30 or 20 years until few years back
when they moved to Durham, Ga. No
one regrets to hear of the sad and sud
den death of Mrs. King more than
myself and we tender our heartfelt
sympathy to the husband and family,
We have quite lot of fever in anu
around town Medical authority al
leges the major part of it is due to
drinking milk from cows that drink
stagnated water from the noted Pick
EFT pond just above town where all the
milch cattle for miles around get wa
ter and from the drinking of this i'm
pure and stagnated water it produces
swamp and malarial fevers among the
people.
Dr. U>rey has got the finest and most
beautiful set of burnsides any mortal
man ever viewed for a man of bis
age, and they are sure becoming 1t
JUMPS the doctor up in appearance to
middle age. Wilson S election, judge,
is the original cause.
Dr. N B. Moore is a candidate for
U. S Marshall, of the Eastern divis-
ion of Tennessee and will rub some
democrat right up to the notch if he
don't land that Office under Wilson's
administration. We would be glad to
see the doctor step up to a place of
prOnoLlOn.
A party by the name of Sanders
stole mans wife in East Tennessee,
by the name of G W. Meeks, and
had her located at Cedar Springs. Mr..
Meeks followed the runaways over 200
miles and stopped off at Whitwell,
swore out warrants for his wife and
Sanders, and that night made raid at
Cedar Springs at the residence of
Mr.. Condra, and succeeded in captur-
ing the lady, but Sanders got wind of
the danger ahead and three indict
ments waiting him at Jasper for wild
eating whiskey, and his legs refused
to stand and he took leg bail just in
due time to save himself from being
locked up at Jasper. Deputies Hud
son and Vanhooser with the husband,
landed Mrs. Meeks at late hour in
the night before Esq. Moore. She
plead so pitifully for mercy and par
don from her husband, that he became
overpowered with sympathy and with
drew the prosecution, paying the costs
of the same, and boarded the train
with his runaway wife for their home
where she left four little innocent
children. The wife wept bitterly ov-
er the affair and alleged the cause of
desertion to be because of his cruel
and inhuman treatment, which was
denied on the other hand by the hus-
band. Representative.
