Negro Shoots
wife Dead At
Late Hour Of
Nights Held

In the presence of his 10 year
old son, Spence Cavitt, negro,
shot and instantly killed his
wife at her home in the old
Twelfth district of this county,
near the Weakley county line,
on Thursday night of last week,
was arrested by Weakley coun-
ty deputy sheriff on Friday,
given a preliminary hearing and
held without bond on a charge
of first degree murder.
According to the story the boy
told officers, his father and
mothor had been separated for
sometime and on Thursday night
his father. Cavitt, who had been
living in Weakley county, came
to his mothers home and de-
manded that she let him have
their children. The boy said his
mother refused and started to
close the door on the man, when
he pulled a gun and shot her to
death and ran. Tho boy and a
negro man who was on the place
spread a sheet over the dead
woman and went to the home of
a neighbor. All of the negroes
refused to so to the scene of the
tragedy that night, and the body
was allowed to remain until the
following day when Deputy
Sheriff G. P. Hays was notified
and went to the house. The
body was removed and later
buried.
Deputy Hays notified Sheriff
7. M. Hagler of the killing and
stated that it was believed that
Cavitt had returned to Weakley
county. Sheriff Hagler called
the sheriff of Weakley county
by phone and told him of the
murder. The Weakley county
sheriff notified one of his deputies
near the Henry -Weakley county
line, and within two hours Cavitt,
although protesting his inno-
cence, was under arrrst.
After a preliminary hearing,
at which he was held to await
the action of the grand jury on b
charge of murder in the first de-
gree, Cavitt was placed in Jail.
While he denied his guilt, the boy
states positively that his father
killed his mother. Cavitt claims
he was not in Henry county on
the night of the tragedy, it is
understood.

LOCAL SOLDIER BOYS
ANXIOUS FOR SERVICE
ON MEXICAN FRONTIER
Enthusiastic Meeting Is Held
At Court House On Last
Monday Night
MILITIAMEN WILL NOT BE
MUSTERED In UNTIL JULY |
Captain Weldon c Communicates
With Adjutsnt-General
Rogan By Phone

Members of the militia COM
pany recently organized at Paris
are anxious for service on the
Mexican border, and are waiting
impatiently for July l to arrive,
on which date they will be mus
tered in.
An enthusiastic meeting was
held at the court house Monday
night, after which the soldier
boys engaged in some drill prac-
tice and military training, under
the direction of the captain, J..
D. Weldon.
Capt. Weldon also got into
communication with Adjutant-
General c. B. Rogan by tele-
phone and offered the services
of the local militiamen in con
nection with President Wilson's s
recent call for the national guard
for service along the Mexican
border.
However, since the local COM
pany will not muster in until
July l, the boys will probably
not be included in the first call
for service but hope to be or
dered out when the second call
is made.
Before being taken to Nash
will, where they will be muster
ed in for federal service, the
boys will take the new oath re-
luired by the United States.

thirty-fve years beginning in

Blast the city scales on the

vice offered the people of Paris
by Allen D. Albert, who lectured
at the Chautauqua tent Tuesday
night on THE Forces That Make
Cities" handing this city some
bouquets and likewise some
brick bats.
Mr.. Albert's address was very
interesting and he told the audi
ence many things about their
city that they did not know, al
though, as he stated, he had
lived here less than a day.
While condemning the court
yard fence and, he scales recent
ly put in on the South side of the
square, as well as other things,
the speaker congratulated the
city upon the fact that it had one
of the few light and power COM
panies, under municipal owner
ship, that pays. and upon the
fact that there is no red-light
district in the city.
Mr.. Albert declared it 4 shame
that Paris has not a better health
system, and said that the city
health officer was paid the
magnificent" salary of $50. per
year.
While none oppose the erection
of public scales there has been
considerable opposition to the
city putting them on the public
square, and since Mr.. Albert's
condemnation of this action, some
have declared that the scales
should be removed, and a few
have gone so far as to say that a
petition, declaring the scales a
nuisance, should be filed in order
to get them removed, provided
this object cannot be accomplish.

Numerous other evils were
condemned by Lecturer Albert

the port, made the seizure. He was
not a man of any learning or Of very
much wit, and he begged a certain
Captain Dowse of his acquaintance to
help him write the letter In which he
should advise the board of war of the
proceedings under its order.

very dearly. composed the following
