MARYVILLE INDEX July 31, 1878

A tragically affray took place at Nashville on Wednesday of last week whereby

two men, Samuel H. Hicks and Jones Baxter were killed. The evening before, at

a meeting of the “Independents,” Hicks had made remarks defamatory of Judge

Baxter, the father of Jones Baxter, and on meeting the sons of Judge Baxter

the next morning a collision took place, resulting as above stated.



Minnie Warren, a well known dwarf, died on the 23rd inst., at Fall River,

Miss.

Anderson, the liquor seller, has removed his kennel to a back building owned

by L.L. Ferrary. Of course an employment that loves darkness rather than

light, practicing its deeds behind interposed screens and closed doors, will

find this situation more consonant with its own gloominess. As to Ferrary, who

for “twenty pieces of silver” thus devotes his property to the service of the

prince of darkness, we had hoped better things of him. His recent

incarceration ought to have taught him that the way of the transgressor is

hard--that sin is certain to find men out sooner or later. This looks like a

very serious step backward for him--the beginning of a return to paths that

lead down to ruin. It is to be said of him, as it is written: “The dog is

turned to his vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the

mire?” Don’t trifle with conscience, and known duty, friend.
