Mrs. j. e. Bible, end. Sunday morn
ing attended Sunday school. When

fully surprised to see the long table

many good things to eat that space
| forbids us naming them. BY the noon
hour some fifty or more Of her rela-

Perhaps it is useless for us to men,
ton the Mosheim Bank robbery as
much has been said, in the columns
Of the Sun concerning same, however,
we wish to state that the citizens of
our little town did not desert the Of
ficers as has been rumored. Messrs.
A. f. Bible and G. C. Smelser, hav-
Ing stayed hard by the offcers-in
fact it is stated by good authority
that Smelccr was the nrst to locate
the robbers among some wild vines
on the bank Of Little Chuckey. He
threw his gun, double barrel shot
gun, in their face and exclaimed,
Here they arew The officers then
sprang to his side and fired after
having called to them TO come out.
One of the robbers was shot in the
arm by one Of the officers. Smelcer
faithfully held one of the men at the
muzzle of his gun while others of cur
citizens assisted the officers in dis
arming them. A. F. Bible, mean
while, had his hands full holding the
bloodhound off the captured men.
Our citizens are not the kind to play
bravo" but when duty calls they
respond and deserve at least small
legree Of credit.
