Friday, Dec. 10, 1819, Raleigh Minerva December 10, 1819
A DUEL
   On the 14th ultimo, CAPT. ALBERT G. TOMLINSON and MR. DAVID JEFFREYS, both 
of Person County, passed over into Virginia to settle an affair of honor. 
CAPT. TOMLINSON  was attended by his friend, MR. YANCEY of Granville: MR. 
JEFFREYS, by MR. JAMES SATTERFIELD. They fought with pistols, and the distance 
which they shot at each other was quite respectful. We are happy to state that 
no injury was done either of the parties. MR. JEFFREYS felt something warm 
pass his cheek. Some say a few twigs suffered amputation from their proximity 
to CAPTAIN TOMLINSON; others say a sapling was desperately wounded. After an 
exchange of shot, the affair was adjusted to their mutual satisfaction. –
