The remains of Mr.. Steele were laid

The remains of Mr.. Steele were laid
away Monday at the New Hope Gem
etery under the auspices of the sever
al Masonic orders of Selmer and 9TH
ers of the county. The deceased was
perhaps as well known as any man in
the county. He was always promi-
nent in Masonic as we'll as Confeder-
ate functions. He always attended
the meetings of the Confederate re-
unions and was conspicuous because
he carried hornets nest which was
said to represent the bloody Shiloh
fight at the Hornets Nest" He was
the business man for Stantonville, be-
ing a Notary Public, and prepared
most of their legal documents. He
leaves wife, three daughters and
two sons.
Mr., North is dentist and was
raised in the county and so far as we
know was considered a peacable man.
He has wife and two children.
The preliminary trial began We'd
nesday afternoon before Esq. H. C.
Gooch, with Guy Perkins, J. L. Cobb,
N. E. Goodrum and J. C. Gilbert as
sociates Alternately & Alternately
and j. w. Ross, of Savannah, prose-
cuted, while H. P. Wood and J. c..
Houston appeared for the defense.
The proof for the state was most
damaging. There it no question but
what the defendant will be remanded
without bail. The case is ON as we
go to press.

Fatal Shooting
G. G. Steele is Shot Down on the
Streets of StantonviIIe by
DR.. 6. W. North.

The whole county was startled Sat-
urday morning as the telephones re-
ported a bloody tragedy at Stanton
vile in which Esq. G. c. Steele was
the victim. From reports which are
given we gather the facts about as
follows: For some time bad blood ex-
listed between C. G. Steele, aged about
70 years, and G. W. North. dentist,
both living in Stantonyille. Some lit
igation exists in regard to fencing up
passageway to the house Of North
by Steele, and probably the fence had
been cut down and charged to North
by Steele.
That the parties must have fire.
quently met before seems reasonable.
But Saturday Mr.. Steele went over to
his daughters and was returning with
a jug of milk hung over his shoulder
with his right hand in a rope tied to
the Jug handle. North was coming
from the rear of a store with a buck
ct of water when they met. 1t seems
no one was attracted until a shot was
fired, when several followed in quick
succession. Steele was seen to reel
and fall, and was shot one or more
times while down. The fatal shot
was in the shoulder and neck, killing
him instantly.
North went to his house nearby
and arming himself with pump shot
gun left Immediately.
Sheriff Gray went to the scene at
once and had the Jackson bloodhound
here on the Ills train and at l:30
took the trail in a south direction
After going about three miles it was
reported that North was at Chambers,
about 8 miles away, and would give
up. He doubtless heard the party
was in pursuit with dogs, and could
not escape. He was lodged in Jail
Sunday night. The preliminary trial
was set for Wednesday before Esq.
Gooch.

Another Victim Of Strong Drink.

Henry Adams, aged about 60 years,
living about two miles from Ramer,
while in an intoxicated condition Sat
urday night, was knocked from the
M. & 0. track by passing train. He
had either fallen or lain down, as his
head was mashed and severed from
his body, which was found next morn
ing lying in pool of water beside
the track. Coroner W. H, Stone was
sent for and held an inquest resulting
in the above conclusions. Deceased
was harmless old man possessing a
weakness Of the flesh which brought
about his horrible end.

several of my acorn fed hogs to get
enough money to buy one of these
good hogs.
The meat trusts which the vulgar
so loudly curse would not dare sell a
pound of this tough razor-back, black
jack fed meat. Were you to send them
a car load dressed they would return
them. The only way they will use
them at all is to feed them corn and
clover six months.
You country people know as we'll
as do that you dress and take to
town your mast fed meat to impose
on the poor ignorant town people,
while you keep your tender, nice hogs
for your own use. The town people
are getting wise to this and are re-
fusing to buy anything but corn fed
hogs. So it is only question Of time
until this feature will be cut out. No
longer can you sell it, and you cannot
eat it Yourself without buying new
teeth every year, so why tax your
stomach to pay dentist all You make?
The writer lives in and controls
what is beyond doubt the very best
outside range for hogs now left in the
county. The mast consists of beech
and white oak and post oak. And so
far as allowing hogs to run at large,
the three-wire law would cost me
more than it would cost any other
man in the county, as have so many
hogs | don't even know them all, new
er saw some of them. | would be
compelled to get them up and that
would be a job, but realizing the fact
that it would be of immense value to
the majority Of the people, am will
ing to sacrifice the losses | would sus-
tain for the benefit of the general
welfare. | think any man who has
only two or three dozen hogs and who
would oppose this law is very sell
| fish individual and cares nothing for
any one but himself. We have the
christian Bible for it that the devil is
in hogs, and the Jewish, Gods chosen
people, will not touch the vile stuff.
This proves that numbers Of SUPER
stitions are based on facts. Write
100 Of the most prominent physicians
in the world and ask at what age the
children should eat hog meat and SO
will write you that they should not
eat it before they are 100 years old.
When we sell our eggs, chickens and
butter and feed our children the flesh
of the filthy hog we are cheating our
children out. of their brains. Far bet
ter to sell ones hogs and feed the
children on chickens and other brain
building food. There is no denying
/ the fact that we are what we eat.
Feed a cow on wild onions and her
milk will taste like wild onions, so
will the butter; so will the flesh. Send
our boys off to boarding school; they
will be allowed all the beef, mutton
and fowl they want, but the flesh of
the hog they will not be allowed to
touch. It's very filthiness beclouds
the brain and renders a constant user
but little above an imbecile. These
are positive facts and are known by
nearly every one.
In conclusion | will say that while
| will lose Us an individual if this law
is passed, am safe in saying that at
the very lowest estimation this coun-
ty will gain 100000 a year. Be-
sides, it is move towards progress
and there is no reason why we should
be and remain the most unprogressive
county in the state.

1.-THE Three-Wire Law"
INDEPENDENT.

INDEPENDENTS:
| note the article in last weeks is
sue of the Independent and it appeals
to me as good reasoning and very
much to the point.
As | understand it, the "three-wire
law" does not mean that we have to
tear down our old fences and put
them back using three wires, but that
it does mean three wires placed at a
certain height and a certain distance
apart will constitute lawful fence.
At present there is not a man in
the county who can define lawful
fence. If it is of the best woven wire
and feet high and your neighbor's
hogs slide under it, you would be un-
able to collect any damages. And it
is impossible to prevent their sliding
under once they take a notion to do
so. If hog wants to get into field
of corn he is going to get in unless
it has brick wall around it.
think this three-wire proposition
would benefit every man in the coun-
ty, without a single exception. !
have more hogs running at large
than any other person in the county.
They are above the average in breed
ing. | have not fed them anything.
Counting my own corn they destroyed
and the trouble they gave me keeping
them out of my neighbors' fields ev-
cry pound of meat they make will cost
me Is cents. Some people do not
care how much trouble their stock
cause their neighbors. In fact
have thought there are some who like
for their hogs to get good feed out
Of their neighbors' fields. That is
wrong. If man is a gentleman or
a Christian either he would rather
turn his hogs into his own field than
to let them destroy his neighbors'
crops.
Under the three-wire law it is safe
to say that at least 10000 acres more
would be taken into cultivation in
McNairy county. Hundreds of patch
es could be fenced easily that are now
lying idle. Most land owners would
be glad to furnish wire and give these
patches rent free to their tenants
who would take them in, which would
be a small matter, and it is safe to
say that it would increase the mater
ial wealth of the county. especially
the tenants, a hundred thousand dol
lars year,
There are places in the county
where it is almost impossible for WOW
en- wire or rail fences, to stand. The
| floods take them away. But three
wires would allow the debris to pass
on and distractions would not accum-
ulate. Three wires rightly placed
will keep in or out horses and cat
tie. From every true basis of reas-
oning we would actually produce more
meat with fewer hogs well kept than
with the innumerable flocks of razor.
backs which now infest the country.
Even if they get through the summer
alive and fatten up in the fall on the
black Jack acorns their flesh is SC
tough that what one gains in the
meat he loses by having to buy false
teeth. Then from a business stand
point there is no comparison. A
neighbor of mine had only ten hogs
these he kept up and fed all the veal
and they weighed from 400 to SOC
pounds each. The lard was rich, snow
white and sweet. The hams were
magnificent. The sides were streaket
and tender and worth eating. ! sold

This proclamation refers TO dirt

as Kentucky always takes the lead in

desire the betterment of our highways,
they must come forward with enthu-

| pie of other states that they can equal
or surpass them in the improvement
of their roads.
