MARYVILLE INDEX January 15, 1879
Wednesday, January 15, 1879



On the 20th ult., says the Morristown Gazette, David Parkeypile was married to

Mrs. Polly Hilton, his step-grandmother. David is a youth of twenty-five,

while the blushing bride has passed her sixtieth summer.



Another aged colored woman, Aunt Polly Pope, for many years a member of the

Presbyterian Church, died on last Wednesday.



Mr. Boudinot, a prominent member of the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, was

in town yesterday, and called at this office. He is attending to business,

concerning the removal to the Indian Territory of that portion of the Nation

which remains in North Carolina. He is also connected with the Cherokee

Advocate, paper published by the Cherokee Nation, at Tahlequah, Indian

Territory.



Victorious McCarter---A wild rumor that W.C. Jackson’s brother, who went with

him to see that he was taken care of, had killed Sheriff McCarter and shot one

of the others who had Jackson is custody, and that Jackson had thus made his

escape, is unfounded, as will be seen by the following from the Carnesville,

Ga., Register: “Our very worthy Sheriff, J.C. McCarter, returned from

Maryville, Tennessee, today, Friday, where he had been for the purpose of

attending the trial of one Jackson, who carried goods, stolen in this county,

into that state, and for the purpose of bringing Jackson to justice in this

county. After a great deal of trouble and expense to himself he has succeeded.

He has spared neither time nor money in this case--having made the third trip

to Tennessee after him. We cannot say half as much of John this week as we

wish, but will take time to say unhesitatingly that he is the best Sheriff in

the State of Georgia. We suppose Jackson will have his preliminary trial this

evening. It is thought that he will perhaps plead guilty. We can hear nothing

but “Hurrah for McCarter!”



We learn that a child of Mr. C.C. Cunningham, aged seven months, died on New

Year’s Day.
