LISBON NEWS.


Lisbon, Jan. There has been
more moving this season than in
years all that we sec moving much is
going towards the north. In other
words they are going up the country
Mr.. Richard Dunlap says II am in
the stock business to stay, and | am
commencing right now, to meet the
boil wcefil when it comes" This
stock business is a proposition as we
are not prepared TO go into the bus
mess, yet we will be forced to turn
our attention to something else out
side of cotton, to my thinking, and
tic sooner 4 fellow IS iii shape, tho
better.
We arc going to wish YOU Mr.. Edi-
/ tor and your force, all the readers Of
! Your paper With every nation on the
face Of the earth, much happiness and
prosperity, and that the foreign ma
! tons will be at peace in Il short while.
The old year is a thing Of the past,
and we have entered into tho new
year. We have much to be thankful
! for. In tho first place we have been
| Wonderfully blessed in many ways
and We stand ready 10 thank our
| Heavenly Father for the many bless
inGS that we received from time to
| time. While VIC write we can't help
\ Dui think Of some of the dear ones
! that have passed to the Great Beyond.
! 10 Wait until the great Judgment Day
! 20 come and orc the winding ~ of
the year 1917, there Will be many 9th
c"& that Will answer 10 the roll call.
| Oh. then, Let us go TO work now, and
! prepare for The cCmir& rs we know
not what hour the Lord and Master
may call Us.
The Christmas passed OF very
! quietly among tho white people, but
last Tuesday night right in our midst,
one Of the most brutal murders was
committed when Broadus Workman
beat his wife, Mary, to death. We
have heard OF these crimes in other
| places, but we never had anything in
the history Of our county to happen
like this Your correspondent knew
Broadus and Mary both, in fact they
lived with him for several years and
we want to say right here that we
never had better workers than Boadus
and Mary. Broadus was one Of the
! best hands we ever knew. He was al
| y,, 10 do IL.
and when he carried your stock out
! to any place, cold or hot, you could
rest easy that he would take care of
them. We have known him to take
his own money and buy feed for the
stock, while others would not even
give them water. We are sorry that
| such a crime was committed here in
our midst, or anywhere else as to
| that, and especially Broadus Work
| man, the darkcy that we liked so
| much, but we believe in law and or
der, and we trust that the officers of
| the law will overtake him and that
justice will be mcted out to him.
