KILLS HIS BROTHER

One Of the saddest and most trag-
ical deaths that ever occurred In
this county. happened last We'd
nesday near Tolu. when John I'm
derdown struck his brother, Will
liam. with post hole digger and
mertaIy wounded him. = a ~ ----''-
From reports the brothers had
had trouble previous to the quar-
rel which terminated In death. and
the dispute came up over some hogs.
According to John Underdown's
statement. William rushed at him
with q knife and John struck him
with the post hole digger not in
tending to severely injure. but the
blow fractured the skull.
When John saw that his brother
was badly injured he went for help
aud when he came back William
was unconscious. He was put on Q
launch and started for the hospit-
al but he died before reaching
MOrganfeld. His body was pre-
pared for burial At that place and
sent back.

THE COLYUM

Drove q I'D out to, Aunt Sarah
Ann Lambs birthday blow out last
Sunday and at this time, Tuesday
night, am still so tired and sore
that ! can hardly move.
Which goes to prove that the
roads around Marion are still in q
horrible condition.
There is one stretch Of abomi-
nable road between Repton and Tri-
bune that has been recently worked
and left with big humps every foot
or so.
One hundred years In the pen At
hard labor is too good for whoever
Is responsible for that stretch Of
bumps.
But enough OF bad roads for once
II were to say all I thought on
this subject II would break US up
buying the paper to put It on.
But back to that birthday dinner.
This affair was originally planned
as surprise on Aunt Sarah. She
was rs years old Sunday. which
happened to be the regulr preaching
day at Sugar Grove.
II may have been q surprise all
right but II so will add the COM
ment that Germany In her palmiest
days was never any more prepared
for war than Aunt Sarah was for
that crowd.
Most OF the crowd went to Sugar
Grove first and attended Sunday
School. After Sunday School Un-
Gle Billy Joel Hill conducted q short
service. owing to the fact that they
have no pastor out there now. After
this service practically all who we're
at the church headed toward Aunt
Sarah AIMS. Not surprising though
as most every body In that neck OF
the woods is either relation or
an in.law Of some kind.
BY some time around 1870 bas-
kets and boxes began to be unloaded
and began to suspect that there
would be something to eat In sight
very soon. OF course l really began
to suspect something like that when
] arrived at the scene Of the festivi-
ties and saw Walter Mcconnell there
ahead OF me. He Is the only living
person who can scent q basket din
ner farther than can,
And such a spread % that was!
Every one Of those elegant cooks
who prepared the bouptiful dinner
laid out In front OF us had evidently
intended to have every one say that
they had the best. And they sure
did succeed. I didn't eat near all
wanted though. The spirit was
willing but the flesh was weak.
There we're about sixty people
present to pay their respects to
Aunt Sdrah--and II is pretty safe
to say that II was one OF the biggest
days In all her life.
And | would willingly drive the
I'd over some more mighty rough
roads TO go to another one.
] thank you. W. =. HOGARD.
