WOMAN KILLED!
AND A SUICIDE ON
A TURKEY HUNT
While on a turkey hunt on
Thanksgiving day in Bryan
county just south of Morgan’s
Bridge, a woman was killed, a
man committed suicide, leaving
the husband of the woman and
the uncle of the suicide alone
with two dead bodies.
The woman was Mrs. Berth i
Virginia Goodman, who along
with her husband and William
Eugene Ruff, a nephew of the
couple had gon hunting for
turkeys near Morgans Bridge.
They had barely gotten to the
spot when the unfortunate oc
currnce happened. It is said
that at the point where the wo
man was, was lower than at
the place where the nephew was,
and the woman had a red hand
kerchief around her head, which
was evidently seen by tie
nephew, and thinking it was a
turkey, he shot.
Then it was that he discover,
ed he had killed his aunt, the
husband rushed up about this
time, and before he could stop
the young man, he put the gun
to the back of his head and
Killed himaelf.
A coroners jpry was empanel
led with R. L. Jackson Bryan
County Coroner in charge and
they returned a verdict of an
accidental killing and then a sui
cide.
The two men had worked for
:> number of years at Union Bag
with Mr. Dalton Griner of Pem
broke, and they and their fami
lies had visited one another on
several occasions.
It was a rgrettable affair.
JOURNAL WILL GO A
7 COLUMN PAPER
In order to become uniform
with the leading weekly and
daily newspapers, The Journal
will change over to a 7 column
12m newspaper with our next
issue. This means that the
pages will be larger and will car
ry one more column on each
page.
During the past years most
of the country weeklies have
been 6 column papers, and that
has been our size in the past,
but with the' next issue we
will appear in our new form of
a 7 column paper. We hope
to make many improvements in
our paper during the coming
year.
COUNCIL STOPS THE
SALE OF APPLES ON
THE CITY STREETS
Some days ago a man carre
to Pembroke and bought him
self a license from the City
Clerk to sell apples on the
streets of the city, for which ha
paid $12.50, the price set up for
said license.
At a special meeting of City
Council on Monday night the
license was revoked and the
Clerk was instructed to return
to the man the $12.50 license fee
that the man had paid, and it
was stated that no one would
be allowed to sell fruit on the
streets.
This means that the people
of this section has got to go into
the stores and patronize the
merchants.
Just whether this bully that
has bought and paid for a license
will give up without a fight is
to be seen.
FOR RENT—Either partly fur
nished, or unfurnished three
rooms in desirable location,
immediate possession.
