They bowled him over and battered him up pretty well. He was taken home and given medical attention at once and is doing pretty well considering the way he was pounded up. A Lively Old Lady---Old Grandma Sarah Hutsell visited Uncle Steve Hitch Wednesday. The old lady is about ninety years old and gets around pretty spry, looking after her own business affairs. She is the most, probably the oldest person in the county. If there are any older we want to here from them. Cades Cove---After a long courtship of something near fifteen years, last Saturday evening at four o’clock, Russell Burchfield and Mary Jane Whitehead were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Mr. Burchfield is one of our esquires and the bride is the daughter of Henry Whitehead. Route 2---Mrs. Jasper Mitchell, an aged lady died at her home Tuesday morning after a long illness. Mrs. Mitchell was an excellent Christian lady, loved by all who knew her. She was a member of the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. She will not only be missed in the home, but throughout the community. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn the loss of a dear wife and mother. To them we would say, Look unto Him who is able to sweeten your sorrow and give you grace to live so that you can meet her bye and bye. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.A. Catlett, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Clark’s Grove Cemetery. The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends.
