and as men drive in the hills re
gardless of rocks and other ob
stacles Tom was scared half to
death all the time while taking
an 8 mile drive up and down
what he called mountains, bluffs
and precipices. Tom however,
never mustered up enough cour
age while out in the wild and
woolly west to say his prayers,
: but that is no sign that Tom dees
| not pra3', because we heard him
one time at Augusta and can
prove it by H. Jonah Cariker
and T. A. Jeffries. Tom Arnold
and Jonah had a time any HOW.

Howell has a cold blooded
murder tochronicle for this week.
A darkey is said to have ordered
his hired hand, another darkey,
to cut some wood and instead of
going to fulfill orders, he return
ed to the house. Thereupon, the
boss entered with a shot-gun and
killed his disobedient servent.
We were not able to obtain the
names.

The Water Pierce Oil Co. has
given Mr. Lenord Patterson the
contract to build them a new
house for their oil business. This

matter to a successful finish
with the oil Company. What is
known as Pinch Town is also
doing a great deal of building;

At about four o’clock on last
Saturday, a sad death accured
at the home of Mr. Mack Sullivan
in the Revels neighborhood. Mrs.
Sullivan retired apparently well
and hearty the evening before
and at the time above stated
threw off the inautle of mortality
and took her departure for the
realms immortal. The cause of
this sad and sudden end was
attributed to Rheumatism of the
heart. The bereaved family has
our undivided sympathy in this
trying ordeal.
On last Wednesday, as we were
silently wondering where our
next stick of wood could be gotten
j without malice aforthought to
■ some man’s wood-pile (Tom
Greer’s perhaps), Bob McDaniel,
expert subteranean telephone
man drove up with a number one
load of wood for the benefit of a
cold newspaper man. We had no
words at our command with
which to thank him and when he
informed us to apply said wood
on bis subscription, the “Devil”
actually cried for joy. Many
thanks Bob.
