General Sanders Killed
At Mullet Supper
r
Last Saturday night Anthony
Perry (eol) cut General Sanders
(col) to death at a mullet supper,
on Mr. John NeSmith’s place about
four miles from town. He was
stabbed seven times and died in
about thirty minutes after the at
tack .
Sheriff FK y 1 arrested the accused
at the home of Nathan Baker alrout
one mile from where the deed was
committed.
He found him in bed, under the
infliHM!<<‘ of whiskey, with his
bloody -. .it on. He is now in jail
awaiting trial. No particulars
were learned about this affairexcept
that the trouble grew out of the
usual cause of such trouble at such
places. The accused was no doubt
full of bad whiskey and started in
for the usual Saturday night’s frolic
at a mullet supper.
Whenever you find bad whiskey,
bad “niggers”, razors and pistols
at a mullet supper, lookout for
trouble.
When old Cnffie gets full of blind
tigei whiskey and is looking for
trouble he can always fined it at a
mullet supper.
Diphtheria Germs
Sent By Mail
Diptheria sent by mail, has
closed the oflice of the state hoard
health. Eleven employees of the
oflice aie suffeing from the contag
ious disease.
Dr. Harris declares that this epi
demic which has put the state board
of health out of business, was
caused by the carelessness of coun
ty doctois who have been in the
habit of seeding diptheria cultures
for examination, through the ordin
ary mail. He says many of the
doctors have simply placed a part
o the infected membrame between
two pieces of paper and putting the
whole in an ordinary envelope have
mailed it to the hoard.
Stacks of mail come in every
day and the letter are all opened at
the same time. When a diptheria
specimen comes in, it is not often
catalogued, so it is opened with the
rest of the mail and the germs are
spread about the oflice.

Circus Coming To
Cochran Oct. 23rd.
After an absence of several years
Gentry Bros, famous dog and pony
show, which is so well known and
so well liked in this city, returns on
Thursday, Oct. 23rd, for two per
formances.
Next to Santa Claus comes the
Gentry Bros. Shows in the hearts of
the children, and to them, at least,
this event will prove of more im
portance than any happening of the
year.
There arc many “grown-ups” for
that matter, who enjoy themselves
more at a Gentry performance than
they do at the bigger and more pre
tentious circuses. Distinctly in a
class by themselves, Gentry Bros.,
holds a warm spot in the hearts of
all amusement lovers.
It is a high toned, moral and en
tertaining exhibition and appeals
especially to ladies and children.
This is the first visit to Cochran in
several years of this world renowned
show and every citizen of the com
munity should attend at least one
of the two performances to be given
here. One of the many big features
to he seen will ho-a “Monkey Fire
Department.”
The circus will he on the’ vacant
Watts lot on Beach st. The admis
sion will be 25c and 35c.
