The Montgomery Advertiser November 9, 1892
The boldest robbery that was ever committed in this county occurred at Lovvorn's 
Store, about ten miles north of this place, on last Saturday night Just after 
supper one of Mr. Lovvorn's clerks and his son went down to the store, which was 
about a quarter of a mile from the house and built up a fire. In a few minutes 
two masked men entered with pistols and ordered "hands up" They were promptly 
obeyed. They were then demanded to open the safe, which was promptly done, and 
all the contents, amounting to about $500, were taken. The robbers then 
compelled the two men to go with them for a mile, were they were ordered to lie 
down on their faces and stay there until morning under penalty of death if they 
moved. But they remained only a few minutes until they went back to the store. 
The robbery had been discovered by Mr. Lovvorn, who was searching for the 
premises, thinking that his clerk and son had been murdered. The Sheriff with a 
posse of men left here yesterday in search, but noting has yet been heard.
