MARYVILLE INDEX October 2, 1878
Wednesday, October 2, 1878



Bristol News; Mr. Thomas Wright, who had sixteen balls shot into him during

the war, has now a musket ball working out through his breat-bone, it having

been shot into him at Chickamauga.



A reward of $150 is offered of the arrest of the person who murdered George

Southers, on the 13th ult., in Knox County.



Daniel Hogue, late of Sevier County, was buried in the New Providence

graveyard on the 30th inst.



Last Sabbath Oscar Wilson lost another child. This makes three of his children

he has buried within five months.



Mr. B.T. Whetsell says that while going home from church last Saturday night

he was shot at three times by some unknown party.



Now it is reported that Henry Thompson, the victim of drink and a fall from a

porch, is improving, and his partial recovery is possible.



Miss. Goodwin, the eldest daughter of our esteemed townsman, J. Goodwin, lies

quite ill with the neuralgic fever. We trust she may speedily recover.



William Henderson, son of Squire William Henderson, having imbibed too freely

last Thursday night, fell out of a window above Joe Anderson’s saloon, hurting

his side somewhat, and badly spraining his ankle. Dr. Blankenship visited him,

and dressing his wound sent him home the next day. Another story is that he

was drunk, and his horse threw him.



Rev. Donald McDonald of Baker’s Creek has purchased ten acres of land from

J.P. Duncan for a building site. The land lies immediately back of the college

woods. Mr. McDonald expects to remove there to educate his family of boys in

the college. The foundations for his house are already laid.



On Monday morning the sad news was brought to town of the death of Lamar

Wallace, who was well known by many of our readers. During his canvass for

Register before the primary election last spring he was injured by a mule, and

never recovered from the effects of the accident. His death was sudden,

although his sickness was noticed last week. We extend our hearty sympathy to

the bereaved family.
