various millinery modes come in all
sizes, perhaps the most popular shapes

Early Saturday morning John Roam
Hill, white man, was found in a dy-
Ii ing condition near the railroad track
at Shepp, this county. According to
the testimony Of two negroes, Hill
went hunting with them the night be-
fore but got tired and left them. They
say that he was not seen again until
found by the side Of the track next
morning. The supposition was given
out that a train killed him. Sheriff
Davis possesses information which
causes him to doubt the story given
out and further investigation is ex-
pected, with the probability that sew
eral arrests may be made before the
mystery is solved. Hill had bruises on
his head and side. He died a few
hours after being found, without re-
gaining consciousness.
