Another bullet grazed the throat of

and on the walls Qf buildings.

According to witnesses, the men
who robbed the bank were all middle-
aged men, all sober but in an ugly

mood. Earlier in the day they had
forced Charles Stanton, mail-carrier,
to jtake a drink with them for no ap
parent reason, threatening injury if
he refused. Mr. Stanton said they
were all well dressed, cool and calm.
When the robbery was reported to
Sheriff Guy English in Marshall, there
began a zig-zag chase that had not
ended aa we went to press. Ashe
ville and Buncombe County officers,
as well as authorities in eastern Ten

The trail left by the robbers appar

read and approved.
Ai repor was eiven by the treas
urer -Mrs. Cub Sprinkle who gave
an ' itemized account of the expendi
tures (this report is kept by the
Weasur,:r). There is a balance of
$24.67 in the bank; $10.00 of this

Rev. Mr. Justice, hs was led into the
ministry almost before he knew it- In
stead of seeking ordination the peo
nle sought him. AfterSO years of
ministry, he came back to Marshall
to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
his' conversion, following which he
was extended a call by the Marshall
church and became its pastor for a
short period before entering field
work. At this time his voice became
slightly affected, later growing worse;
so that it became necessary, for him
to retire from the ministry. The last
few years he has been coming back
to Marshall to celebrate these anni
versaries and his talks on these occa
sions are always entertaining and
delightful. It is as impossible to
describe the impression these two men
made on their hearers as it would be
to describe a (picturesque sunset: as

wha had never een a mountain.
