THE MARYVILLE RECORD October 21, 1904

Sudden Death---There is great mourning in dog-dom this morning. In the

darkness of the night the destroyer went abroad and as the sun crawled over

the Great Smokies this morning its early raps revealed the corpses of six or

seven dogs, stiff in death, strewn about the streets of our beautiful town.

Death had come to them without regard to age, size, color or previous conduct.

There were large dogs and small dogs, black dogs and yellow dogs, brindle dogs

and spotted dogs. The only points they all had in common were that they had

been in the habit of barking at the passers-by, and that they were now dead.

Poison is supposed to have been the means used. Requiescat in Pacem.



Only two votes were cast in Georgia in 1860 for Lincoln. One of the voters,

Uncle “Billy” Bowers is still living in Franklin, Georgia, and is nearly 80

years of age. He was born in Georgia, and went to the place where he now

resides when he was 3 years old.



Louisville---Stokely Hollifield, who was formerly mail messenger at this

place, died and was buried at Holston College a few days ago. The many friends

of William Franklin Cummings, who formerly lived at this place, will regret to

hear of the death of his wife which occurred at Los Angeles, California, a few

days ago.
