Mrs. w. ]. Bonds, was killed in At
lanta last Wednesday by Otis Byron,
Is year old Negro boy. Mr.. Bond
was night watchman at the juvenile
Detention home. He had entered the
cell to repair leaky pipe, laying his
bag of, tools down, STOPPING over
the broken pipe, the boy got one of
his large wrenches and dealt him
several blows without warning Mr..
Bond had the keys on belt around
his waist and it is supposed the ne
gro wanted to obtain the keys and
gain his liberty, as he had never
seen Mr.. Bond before, and there had
not been word spoken. Lee was the
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. w. j.
Bonds. He was 81 years old. He
was reared in the Shiloh section, but
after his marriage to Miss Matte
Watts he lived here several years be-
fore moving to Atlanta. The re-
mains were brought here to the home
of his parents, where the funeral
conducted by Rev. S. H. Dimond, of
the Methodist church of which he
was a member assisted by Rev. w.
E. McCollum, and the interment was
in the cemetery here. He is survived
by his wife and five children, three
daughters and two sons, his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. Bonds, one broth
er, Mr.. G. S. Bonds, one sister, Miss
Nettie Bonds, who request me to
thank each and every one who so
kindly helped and assisted them in
their sad bereavement.
Mrs. Matte Bonds and children
will move back here from Atlanta
but we learn that Miss Maud Bonds
will continue to work in Atlanta.

correspondent from Center Mrs.
Wilson was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. H. Brown. Mr.. Wilson be-
fore his enlistment in 1917 lived at
Dalton with his father, Mr.. Bud Will
son, who lived years ago in the Coun-
ty Line section. 1t is rather singu-
lar coincidence that the young couple

same age and have the same birth
day. They returned here Sunday
evening to the home of the grooms
sister, where sumptuous supper was
awaiting them. We wish them much
