Little Joint Wilkes Dead.
After a short illness, on Friday
morning, November 11, just as the
the darkness was breaking and the
light of another day was being
ushered in, the soul oflitte John,
eldest child of Dr. and Mrs. S. L.
Wilkes, took its flight to the ethereal
regions to dwell forever with God.
Little John, as lie was familiarly
known, was not quite three years old
but even at this tender age lie gave
promise of being more than an ordi¬
nary man. He was the pet of every¬
body and was the idol of his parents.
He was buried in the- town cemetery
Saturday. To the bereaved ones the
Journal extends sincere sympathy.
Death of Mrs. M . H. Dallis.
Mrs. M r . II. Dallis died at her
home near Lisbon Saturday morning,
Nov. 12, her funeral occurring the
following day. Mrs. Dallis had been
in bad health for sever.! months
and up to within a few weeks prior
to her death her condition was such
that her family entertained hut little
hope for her recovery. We are told
that she withstood her long and
painful illness with much fortitude
and was at all times reconciled to
the will of Him who doetli all things
well. She was considered by her
neighbors a most estimable lady and
a true Christian. She leaves a hus¬
band and several children to mourn
her loss.
Killed His Brother.
One of the most horrible crimes
that has been committed in Lincoln
county in recent years was tiie kill¬
ing of Josh Bussey (col.), by his
brother Julian, which occurred last
Saturday morning about 11 o’clock.
From all the information that can
be obtained it seems that the killing
was the outcome of a dispute about
some corn which Julian claimed to
have loaned Josh last year and which
the latter failed to return.
Early Saturday morning Julian
went to where Josh was at work and
demanded that the corn he returned.
To this Josh made some kind of
excuse which, however, was not sat¬
isfactory as Julian then attempted
to brain him with a large stick, hut
was prevented Groves, from who doing happened so by Mr.
Coleman up
at the time. Mr. Groves ordered
Julian to leave the place and with
this it was thought there would he
no further trouble.
Soon after this Josh went’over to
Josephus Brack’s, a colored man
who lives on the suberbs of town,
and it was there lie was killed. All
who wiinessed the killing agree that
it was wholly unprovoked and Julian that
without the least warning and
came to where his brother was
shot him down.
Josh lived only a few seconds after
being shot, and after seeing that his
work was effective Julian took leg
bail and has since been ’evading the
officers of the law.
As several witnesses wore present
no coroner’s injiiot was held.
