There = satisfaction in living up to
your obligations. Only the man who
consistently meets his bills can look
the world In the face without either
feeling shame or acting the lie. II
makes Il fellow step With firmer tread
when he knows that he has done his
best and that no one can call him II
Stacker or point toward him the finger
of scorn. Sometimes he may feel bur
dened by this constant living up to
ideals when others don't. but the load
will soon become one of satisfaction
as conscience declares approval. You
cant do better than live UP to your
sense of Obli ligation.-Grit.

index is not in squarcness of chin, but
in squareness of purpose; not in firm

DEATH OF OLDEST COLORED
RESIDENT IN THE COUNTY

Agnes Staten, colored, died We'd
nesday and was buried Thursday in
the colored cemetery of this city.
"Old Aunty" was undoubtedly the
Oldest colored person in this section.
just what her correct age was no one
knows, but as near as possible to cal
culate from the meager records and
data available, Agnes was between
119 and 120 years old at time of her
death. She lived here when Water
Valley was only cane brake and not
a house in the town. She never had a
family and managed to live and care
for herself up to a few months prior
to her death.

edy Occurred af Home OF
Bill Dickey, East Of Water
Valley-32 Special Smith &
Wesson Gun Used.
Glen Davis, Lad of Only II Years Did
The Shooting, And is Held in The
County Jail-Victim Was Buried
Last Monday.

Sunday afternoon between l anc
2 o'clock Glen Davis shot and killed
Wesley Herschel Taylor.
The shooting occurred at the home
of Mr.. Bill Dickey, father-in-law OF
the man killed. There were no eye
witnesses to the difficulty and the
young man who did the shooting mol
his attorneys have made any state
ment for the public.
The following story Of the affair
was given this paper by brother Of
Glen Davis, and who was present al
the time of the killing. The story
follows:
Sunday morning the four brothers
J. S. Davis, Morris Davis, Glen Davis
and Jake Davis, all went to the home
of Bill Dickey to spend the day. Mr.
Dickey lives about 8 miles east ol
Water Valley in the Pine Valley
neighborhood. When the Davis boys
got to Mr.. Dickey's home, Hersche
Taylor and wife were there, Mrs,
Taylor being a daughter of Mr.. anc
Mrs. Dickey.
There was no trouble of any kind
and apparently no i'll feeling existed
among any present. Between l and
2 o'clock Herschel Taylor called Glen
Davis to one side and together the
two men walked to the back of Mr.
Dickey's barn where they were out OF
sight and hearing of all at the house
In a few minutes after the men went
behind the barn, several pistol shots
rang out, and all at the house ran to
the barn to see what was the trouble.
When the men got to the barn, Her.
schel Taylor was laying on the ground
and in possibly 5 minutes after the
time of the shooting he died.
Mr.. Dickey took charge of Glen
Davis, brought him to Water Valley
and turned him over to the county
sheriff, also the pistol with which the
shooting was done. The gun was a
32 Special Smith & Wesson.
The brother said that Glen stated
he and Taylor had some words over q
personal matter and that Taylor had
knocked him down and then he drew
his gun to keep him off from him.
Glen Davis is a lad only II years
old and is son of of Alex Davis, and
is one of brothers in the family.
He had been working for Herschei
Taylor and it is presumed that the
difficulty may have arisen over a set
tlement or difference between them.
Glen is now in the county Jail. Atty.
John Horan of Water Valley, and
Messrs. Stone & Stone of Coffeeville,
have been secured to conduct the de-
fense.
Herschel Taylor was % years old,
was married to a daughter of Bill
Dickey, and also lived in the Pine
Valley neighborhood. He had no
children. The funeral was held on
Monday afternoon from the Dickey
home, and burial was made in the
Pilgrims Rest cemetery.
