LOCAL CITIZENS PURCHASE
PROPERTY IN SOUTHWEST

The eight eXcursionists who went
from here Sa urday a week ago for
southern Texas, returned last week
end. Five of the eight who went pur-
chased small tracts of land in the
Lone Star state, and express them
selves as highly pleased with their
investment. In fact, one of the par
ty told The Democrat that he was
offered profit of $100 per acre for
his holdings, but refused, saying he
had rather buy more than to sell what
he had The land is government ir-
rigated, very rich and is the home
of grape and other citrus fruits.
One of the young ladies who made
the trip brings back this little story
which is proof of the richness of the
soil: "A man and his wife lived in
this most fertile spot of the Lone Star
State. They, it seemed, did not agree
as well as they might. Finally the
wife died. The husband decided to
remove her body away from there for

Thursday: Local physicians and at
torneys went to Deep Gap Sunday
and held an autopsy of Linney
Church, who is thought to have died
of poisoning last week. Church was
taken i'll Wednesday, February 23, as
a result of which he died Friday. Dr.
Perkins, who attended him during his
short illness stated to Church's family
that he believed the boy had been
poisoned and upon investigation suf-
ficient evidence was found to cause
the arrest of Bill Mason, with whom
Church was making his home Mason
was brought to Wilkesboro and placed
in jail and an autopsy of the Church
boy ordered. The body had already
been buried. The boys stomach was
sent to Raleigh for analysis, and
Mason ordered by the court to be
held until report could be had.
Mason came to Wilkes about year
ago from Canada He married a
cousin of Linney Church, and the
dead boy had been making his home
with his cousin and her husband for
some time. 1t is reported that i'll
feeling existed between Church and
Mason, and Mason is alleged/to have
made threats against the boys. Mason
