They say they are there and are going to sell the goods. From Mr. AY. B. Morgan, who was in the neighborhood when the accident happened, we learned of a fearful accident that occurred over in the edge of Wilcox a few days since. A Mr. Davis strolled over to the home of hie neighbor, Mr. B. F. Golden, to see him. Not finding him at the house he laid his AVin- ehester upon a bed and went out into the field to where he was at work. Mrs. Golden was sitting sewing not far from the bed with her back to it. Presently her lit tie seven year old boy crawled up on the bed unknown to his mother to play with the gun. While projecting with it the gun fired and the ball entered Mrs. Golden’s back. She screamed a few times, ran into the yard and fell dead. The two men heard the report of the gun and the screams and ran to the house, but were too late to do a ny good. MARRIED. One of the happiest marriages that has occurred in Dooly was witnessed Sunday afternoon by a large number of relatives and friends at the home of Hon. John C. Owen 8 miles above Vienna. , The contracting parties were Mr? Wiley Thigpen, the popular Jew eler of our town, than whom tber^ is no more highly esteemed citizen among us, and Miss Mary, the pretty, winsome daughter of Hon. John C. Owen. At 3:30 o’clock p. m.. they were made one and the many friends heaped congratulations and good wishes upon them, showing by their unrestrained manner the high es teem felt,for them. The Progress desires to join the congratulating friends in best wishes and its ed itor regrets that a previous engage ment prevented his accepting an invitation to be present. Their many Vienna friends will gladly welcome Mrs. Thigpen to her new home. Waylaid and Killed. DOOLY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. We have bought the entire stock of Ribbons latel_. kept in stock by O.

Fenn to hold an inquest. Arriving there he found a negro, Dock Adkins, dead. The evidence disclosed the fact that he was rid ing along the road on a mare be longing to Mr. A. J Fenn about 3 o’clock p. m., when some one fired upon him three times from beside the road. One bullet struck him in the side of the back and went diagonally into his body. Another went through the fleshy part of the horse’s necK that he was riding. The last or third missed entirely. Several parties not far off heard the shots but paid no attention to them as shooting is very frequent in the country now. About night some one pass ed that way and found the negro there dead in the road. The pur pose in killing him was not rob bery for $4 in money and a good 38 caliber loaded pistol were found in his pockets and taken posses sion of by the Coroner. No clew, whatever, is had of the slayer nor any theory of the rea son for the killing given.
