| Mullet Festival Near Graves Was a
Great Sug(‘oss, Leaden Pellets
Adding to the Enjoyment.
A festival on the farm of Mr. J.
M. Chambless, near Graves, Saturday
night, was one of the most successful
and enjoyable social events the col
lored population of that community
lhad attended in a long while.
Leaden pellets added to the fes
tivities, and the evening's entertain
ment was brought to a cloge by Hen
ry Bell shooting John Jackson, in
lfiicting a slight wound in the side,
and afterwards killing the latter's
brother, Will Jackson.
It seems that Bel] and John Jack
son fell out while playing cards, and
resulted in Jackson being shot. Will
Jackson, brother of the wounded ne
-Bro, later become involved in the
'trouble, and was shot through the
|heart by Bell.
It is said that Johnson held his
victim with one hand while he shot
him with the other, the pistol being
fired at such close range that a large
hole was burned in Johnson's clothes.
Bell made his escape, and has not
been captured.
No inquest was held by the coro
ner.

l.\ Tribute to the Men and Women
of This Denomination.
In mentioning the celebration on
|next Friday of the fiftieth anni
versary of Chickasawhatchee Primi
tive Baptist church the Shellman
Sun says:
“Chickasawhatchee church, a pio
neer Primitive Baptist church one
mile east of Dawson, will celebrate
its fiftieth anniversary on Friday,
September 25th. Elder Everett is
pastor. There may not be any mem
bers of this church now who were
members at the founding of the
church, for as a general rule Primi
tive Baptists do not join young, but
if there are any to join the happy
band there next Friday who were
among the faithful few to organize
the little church in the woods fifty
years ago their minds, we know, are
rich in the memories of those pioneer
\days and the many changes wrought
in the coumtry during the half cen
tury. But the good old church is
the same now that it was fifty years
ago, and will be the same fifty
vears hence. We have great respect
for the men and women of this
church—steadfast in their loyalty to
the church of their belief, upright
citizens and generous-hearted neigh
bors.”’
