In the summer of 189b Mr.
Calvin Sorrell shot Mr. S.
Smith, a tenant on his place.
Sorrell was convicted of the as
sault and sentenced to four
months in jail and to pay the
costs ; he served the sentence in
jail and was released without
paying the costs. Sorrell then
indibted Smith for embezzle
ment and he- was convicted at
the September term of 1897 and
sentenced to four months im
prisonment and to pay the costs.
The sentence was not to go in
to effect until the November
term of the court. At that term
Smith was unable to attend on
account of an operation perform
ed in search of the ball in his
body and his sentence Continu
ed until this last term. Judge
Timberlake imposed the, sen
tence but allowed Smith to go
with him to see Governor Rus
sell and ask to be pardoned.
The Governor pardoned him
last Friday upon conditions that
he pay the costs, which we
learn, he has paid. Sorrell was
put in jail for costs vhicli a
mounted to something over $80.
He was out yesterday and in
town here trying to arrange the
the costs. . r

In
fire
wood-pile and fence on
back of the Jackson House,
a few more minutes the
would have been to the house
and if the building had gotten
on fire good, the whole business
part of the town would have
been at the mercy of the flames.
Our town authorities should see
that the truck we have is kept
in good condition and the lad
ders, axes andbuckets are kept
on it . It would also be a good
idea to form a hook and ladder
company. A street- light should
be placed just in front of the
truck house and in case of fire at
night it would be no trouble to
get things in readiness. When
there is no lire is the time to
prepare against one. When fire
comes it will be too late for much
preparation.

The home and family of Dr.
V. M. McNeill was thrown in
to saddness snd gloom by the
news, on Feb. 28th, of the death
of their son and brother, Wra.
M. McNeill, Jr., which occured
Saturday, Feb. 19th, at his
home near Gray Bill, Collins
county, Texas, at 32 years, 3
months and 17 days of age: He
was sick only about ten days
when the death angel came
and summoned him to his final
home, which we trust was a
home of peace and rest. He
was a consistent member of the
Presbyterian church, having
joined the church at Summer
ville when a boy.
He moved to Texas in 1889,
where he married. He leaves
a wife and one child to mourn
their irreparable loss.
