Jackson Argus – Butts County February 4, 1898
Col. Curry Tells About His Fight

Last week The Argus contained an account of a fight which took place between 
Col. F. Z. Curry and Mr. Festus Barnes of Worthville.  Col. Curry says the 
report does him an injustice by saying that Mr. Barnes asked him to fight him a 
fair fight.   Curry says there was nothing said about a fair fight and The 
Argus learns, that Barnes, himself, says that no such language was used.  This 
being true the reports was inaccurate and is corrected accordingly.

Col Curry says that he regret the occurrence very greatly and that he would 
greatly swap places with Mr. Barnes who was so seriously injured.  “My regret 
is,” said he, “that I was provoked into a trouble with one of my friends.  It 
was done in a second and no one regrets it more than I do.”
