Ye writer was in Jasper last week
and the only candidate we met WHO
has never changed or faded out in the
least was Charley Quarles, the only
reliable, tested and tried in every
particular who at no time ever loses
sight of his friends, whether in Office
or out of Office. Just such a man as
Charley Quarles is sure to be the next
register of old Marion unless the votes
of this county decide there is second
Charley Quarles every whit his equal.
We regret with profound sorrow to
pen the sad and horrible death of b.
B. Norwood, who shot himself in
Chattanooga last week. Ye writer
served on the United States force with
Mr.. MOI wood when he was a deputy
Marshall, and that we docketed t04
cases in the federal court from Sequa-
chez Valley was some little record as
officials. Mr.. Norwood was a pleasant
man and we'll versed on almost any
subject you approached him on, and
was we'll liked and highly respected
by all who knew him throughout the
valley. If he ever had an enemy here
we never knew of it. l consider aud
feel that have lost q true friend and
an old official mate with whom | once
associ ated in that branch of business,
and who has gone forever, and his
friendship with me and his place and
equal will be hard to be supplied. Mr..
Norwood was laid to rest here in the
Walker cemetery within a few hun
dred yards of the home of his brother
J. W. Norwood in Whitwell. in the
presence of large number of friends
and relatives from several different
counties who witnessed the last sad
rites of their friend, n. B. Norwood,
which, indeed, was sad farewell
Esq, N. B. Moore's court was full
to the brim Friday and was boiling
over. Fourteen civil cases were reg
istered on file. W. B. Stewart of
Dunlap, and W. H. White were attorv
neys fol- the plaintiffs, W. E. McCur-
ry and q. @ Milwee, attorneys for
part Of defendants. Every legal phase
of law touching on the issue enjoined
was argued without legal hitch on
the part of the attorneys. and every
party to suits went away perfectly
satisfied as far as know.
Judge Bachman opened circuit court
at Jasper Monday and there were filed |
for hearing number of damage suits
hanging from $1,000 to $4,000 and
some 60 or rs witnesses are summoned
in the cases. Both sides, of course,
are expecting to win their suits All
will be fought hard from start to fin
ish.
Ye writer and J. W. Morrison went
out on the mountain last week and
called in to see the boys who happened
to an awful bad acct dent by getting
burned in the mines. 1t was the most
horrible sight had seen for many
a day. The three young men were in
one room with faces burned so badly /
couldn't identify them. and to hear
the pitiful groans was awful. It was
enough to touch the heart of any one
to see these young men who will be
disfigured for life.
Ye writer has been to Fairmount
and was retained in heated law suit,
which is coming mp about Dec. 10
Both parties to the litigation, by their
will make the suit very
interesting. To those desiring to be
present it is all free. There is no ex-
pense attached excepting attorney g
fees
Politics up here remind me very
much of the fire of the forest. 1t rises
up and dies out and SO it is with poll
tics. It Uses to high pitch and in a
few days dies away, and the moan.
tain candidate for sheriff, 1t seems, has
gradually cooled down, and if not re-
vived pretty soon, fear he will begin
to grow weaker and weaker and final.
ly die out. This is not any fault of
ours aud yet we are not responsible
for the back step.
Keep sharp lookout on the front
end of the political car for Charlie
Quarles and Byron Graham when you
hear the whistle OF bell.
