Mrs. Calloway informed them that he could not put but one hand up as he had a pail of milk in the other. They told him he could put that one up and be quick about it. While covered with a six-shooter by one, the other went through his pockets getting $2.35. When they ordered him to move on, they backed off a short distance and broke into a run.

McDaniel, Jeweler Johnson and W. P. Hunter started for a drive Sunday to Galcatcher Ford with Dr. Linn's team and when a short distance out of town the team became frightened and the lines breaking they became unmanageable. The party all jumped out accomplishing that feat with safety, but the landing is what troubled some of them, Lawyer Callaway was the least successful in the feat, he tried the circus act of making two or three floppers, but he was not up in the profession and broke his collar bone and was bruised up considerably. Lawyer Bessey failed to take care of his nose, and is now nursing that member, while Jeweler Johnson looked as if he had been through a regular "mill" or had taken a base on a slide on his face. Mr. Hunter was slightly bruised while Linn and McDaniel had been there so often before that they came out without a scratch or scar. All together it was a fortunate escape for all, with the exception of Callaway who was pretty severely bruised up.

She grew worse, taking her bed in September last, from that time until New Year's day, she would sit up some every day, since that she has kept to her bed continuously until she died. She was nearly 44 years old and had been a Christian for 25 years. And while she was able she was a willing helper in every Christian work, being a useful member of the Ladies Aid Society of M. E. Church South. And during the weary weeks she was kept in her room and bed, she communed with God and had sweet fellowship with her Savior, his grace sustained her through all her sorrow and sufferings. She was patient in her sickness, willing to suffer the Lord's will. It was the writer's privilege to visit her many times and learn lessons of patience and trust. Though confined to her room and bed, yet she was cheerful and hopeful. She was often very happy in a Savior's love. She met death without a fear. Everything was done that skill and love could suggest, yet the summons came, and she went to join the triumphant church above. Her loved ones know where to find her.
