100 YEARS AGO-NOV. 25, 1898
LOCAL PARAGRAPHS
Christmas is just one month from today.

Marion County is stained with another murder.  Some people killed hogs 
Wednesday morning.  People with cash can live cheap these days.  The cotton 
fields are becoming black and debts will have to go unpaid.

Mr. John Cook was shot and killed and his son wounded about 8 o'clock last 
Tuesday in the upper part of the county.

We will not attempt to give any further facts in the matter until we hear the 
verdict of the coroner's jury.

Mrs. Weaver, wife of Dr. J.A. Weaver, after a long illness, breathed her last 
Thursday night of last week at about 9 o'clock and her spirit took its flight 
back to God.  She was the former Miss Reina Dassinger of Waggaman, Louisiana.  
She leaves a husband and two children, one of which is an infant, to mourn her 
untimely departure from earth.

At Philadelphia church last Sunday, Mr. Henry Highnote and Miss Willie Beasley 
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony.  The ceremony was performed by 
Squire Daniel.
