The sad intelligence of the death
of Ernest Goldsby, which occurred
On Nov. /, somewhere in France,
reached his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.
A. Goldsby, last Saturday. The cause
Of his death was pneumonia. He was
one of the first contingent to leave
Weakley county and had never been
back home since he had reached the
camp. He had an aversion to go
ing across, but after he got into the
hottest of the fight, he was glad to
be there to do his part. In one of
his letters he stated that he did not
want to come home until the war was
over and the job we'll done. He was
in the ambulance service. At times
he was greatly exposed. Knowing
this young soldier as the writer knew
him, feel safe in saying that his
part was well done, 1t was not
strange to those of US who knew
him to find him averse to even go
ing to camp. He was very much de-
voted to home. He was well known
among the school people of hisscoun-
", having taught school for several
jears before he entered the army,
tut he would never accept school
It place that he could not be at !
ZONE at night. He did his best at
whatever he undertook. He was a {
roung man of a high sense of NOR
lily and came from one of the old
st and best families Of the county. (
his community and county mourn G
he death of this noble young man a
nd gallant hero. }
On last Sunday night, at about 8 S
clock, Alfred Hearn, while on his 4
yay to see his girl, was accosted on t
he roadside by big, husky negro, $
rho caught his horse by the bride il
nd saying to Young Hearn, "You t
ass here so often, l believe you have S
money and / am going to take it n
rom you" The negro had razor
a his hand, while the young man G
yas unarmed, but proving himself f
quail to the emergency, he stepped S
ut of the buggy, struck the negro
nth his fist and then snatched up a
iece of old bridge timber and de- P
ended himself, knocking the razor S
rom the negro's hand. At this juno S
ire the negro fled without giving =
fired scratch, but did cut a place
i the lapel Of his coat. Alfred's Sc
orse ran off with his buggy, but no A
,rious damage was done to it. hi
