NEIGHBORHOOD News

A young man named Wm. Smith of Wedowee, Ala., formerly of this county, was 
drowned in the Tallapoosa River last Friday evening under the following 
circumstances: A party had been swimming and were coming out when Smith and 
another, both good swimmers, swam off down the river on a race for a certain 
point; his companion made the landing; Smith continued down the current going 
over the fish dam; his head appeared above the water long enough for him to 
cry out for help, then sank to rise no more in life. His body was found just 
where he went down, and was brought to New Hope church in this county on 
Sunday last and interred near the resting place of others of his family who 
had gone before. The Franklin News
