LINCOLN County Tn - NEWSPAPERS - Flintville: A People's History Part 2 ************************************************************************************* Copyright. All Rights Reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm This File Was Contributed For Use In The Usgenweb Archives By: Dwight Winsett > ************************************************************************************* October 24, 1907 Burglars Rob Two Stores and Post Office at Flintville A few years ago a gang of yankee burglars operated in this section and among other jobs ascribed to them were the cracking of the safes in the banks at Petersburg and Manchester. Four men were arrested and kept in jail at Fayetteville for some time, and while here a scheme to release them was frustrated by their removal. One was hung in Birmingham for murder and the others given long sentences in the penitentiary. It seems another gang is now at work in this section. The post office at Meridianville was burglarized recently and last week they got in their work at Flintville. The store of J. M. Cambron was raided and the post office in the building torn up and things scattered around promiscuously. The store of Mr. Copeland was also entered but only a small amount of money was secured in each place. Fayetteville Observer October 24, 1907 Residence Burned Last Thursday night the residence of Mr. A. M. Hudson was burned near Flintville. There were four persons in the building at the time. Mr. Hudson and wife and their guests Mr. Carpenter and wife - who were awakened by the flames being right upon them. In their flight to get out of the burning house they caught up three feather beds and three chairs, which were everything that was saved. We do not know at what the loss is estimated, but there was no insurance on the property. Mr. Hudson is a worthy man and we regret his misfortune. Fayetteville Observer November 11, 1907 Big Copper Still Destroyed In Lincoln A successful raid on a wildcat distillery was made last Friday by Revenue Agent Booth and Deputy Collector T. J. Galloway, in Lincoln County. The still was reported to be the property of George Counts, and a warrant for his arrest has been issued. The still was of 100 gallon capacity and the outfit destroyed was complete in every detail. The stills in Lincoln County are usually made of wood, but the one just captured was of copper variety and one of the largest of its class ever destroyed in that section. Five hundred gallons of beer were found with the still. - Nashville Banner Fayetteville Observer 1910 October 6, 1910 Flintville ed. observer - As I have not seen a letter from this place in some time I will try and give you the news from our little village.

Cowan Strikes Uncle With Axe Two miles south of Flintville last Thursday J. T. Cowan struck and severely hurt his half uncle, Henry Smith. The weapon used was an axe. The report in circulation regarding the difficulty is as follows: Smith was living on the farm of M. H. Gray, who asked Cowan to see about the division of the crop. Cowan was engaged in chopping wood with a double bladed axe when Smith came up. Cowan told about being deputized to represent Gray in the division and advised that the latter's corn be put in a bin when gathered by Smith. This enraged Smith, who doubtless considered it a reflection on his integrity, and a war of words ensued. Finally Smith advanced upon Cowan with an open knife, who slapped his uncle in the face with the side of the axe, two blows being necessary to stop him. Smith seemed to have been crazed by the knocks and is said then to have made an attack on Mrs. Cowan who was coming through the gate. Smith is seriously hurt, the side of his face being cut. Cowan came to town and surrendered himself and gave bond for his appearance in the sum of $250. The size of the bail is in measure confirmatory of the report - shows that according to the evidence submitted Cowan was not at fault. Fayetteville Observer 1911 July 13, 1911 Distillery Destroyed Last Thursday morning Captain W. E. Guts, of Knoxville, W. H. Tyler, of Hancock County, Captain J. M. Newman, E. L. Newman and O. Wood made a raid in the southeastern part of the county on Hester's Creek and destroyed a wildcat outfit with a capacity of a barrel a day. One thousand gallons of beer were turned out. After reaching Fayetteville the "revenoos" were delayed in securing teams and did not reach the place until after daylight. They found the still fired up and under a full head of steam but everyone connected with the enterprise had vanished. The "catters" have a pretty effective detective agency who are shod with gum shoes and paradeth not themselves, but it matters not how sly the officers are their coming is known in advance of arrival at their destination. The illicit distilleries are confined to two sections of the county - Hester's Creek in the southeast near the Alabama line, and along the state line below Taft. Fayetteville Observer 1913 November 13, 1913 Another Bank For Lincoln County Last Monday Secretary of State R. R. Sneed issued a charter to the Citizens Bank of Flintville, with a capital stock of $10,000. The incorporators are David L. Harris, John M. Harris, L. R. Noe, E. O. Hudson and John Young. This will be the ninth bank doing business in Lincoln County. Fayetteville Observer 1914 April 16, 1914 A Reminder of the War The following letter recently received by Mrs. Fannie Tillman recalls one of the most thrilling experiences of the war in which Mrs. Tillman played the part of a heroine. The residence of Dr. William Bonner, Mrs. Tillman's father was at that time on the square and was occupied as headquarters by Col. -, who must be nameless in view of the action he took in this matter. Messrs. Peter and Joel Cunningham, Lincoln County men, had been placed in Col. -'s custody as prisoners. They were bushwhackers whose service had earned the fear and hatred of federal officers. They were detained at the Bonner residence. After having been kept as prisoners for several weeks the dreaded order which had been expected some time arrived. General Milroy sent a squad of soldiers from Tullahoma with orders to shoot the Cunningham brothers. Mrs. Tillman was a young girl, and her deepest interest and sympathy had been touched by the horrible fate of these men whom she had known so long: Col. C-, though he bore the hated name of Yankee, was a perfect gentleman and he could not remain insensible to the charming smiles and graces of a beautiful Southern girl. His honor was very dear to him but could anything avail against such tears and pleadings. At last he promised Mrs. Tillman, then Miss Fannie Bonner, that he would let the Cunninghams go if she could effect their escape. On that fateful day Col. Stauffer and his men arrived from Tullahoma shortly before noon. Their prisoners were located and sent in the house, the Bonner residence, where they were put in the parlor. Then the best food the town could afford was procured and such a dinner prepared as would have taken the attention of kings and presidents to say nothing of colonels. Guests were invited, young ladies with most attractive manners and beguiling ways. Mrs. Tillman elected to wait on table. During the progress of the dinner she slipped quietly to the parlor and whispered, "Come but don't speak." They passed the dining room on the way out but the doors were closed and shades drawn tight. The adjutant passed them out the back door. They were free. When the meal was over and Col. Stauffer with his squad went after their prisoners there were none. A stormy scene followed in which Col. C- was bitterly denounced and deprived of his colonel straps but no word of information passed his lips. In forty-nine years Mrs. Tillman had heard not a word of how the Cunninghams got away until Peter wrote her this letter. He had never known the part she played in their escape nor did he know Col. Stauffer was in the house when they left. Winslow, Arkansas Feb. 17, 1914 Mrs. Fannie Tillman Fayetteville, Tennessee Dear Friend: Today my mind runs back to February 17th, 1865, forty-nine years ago, when Capt. Joel Cunningham and I, his brother, were being held prisoners of war, C. S. A., by Colonel C- U. S. A., in the city of Fayetteville Tennessee. We had been prisoners fifteen days and on the 17th day of February, 1865, General Milroy, U. S. A., whose headquarters were at Tullahoma sent Col. Stauffer to Fayetteville with a message to Col. C- ordering him to turn Capt. Cunningham and brother over to Col. Stauffer to be executed. Col. Stauffer, when he first reached Fayetteville, surrounded the Provost Marshall's office with his men. He left his men in front of the Provost Office while he and the Provost Marshall crossed over to Col. C -'s headquarters in a room of Dr. William Bonner's residence. I was at the northeast corner of the square when the squadron came into town. I had been in bed sick and had not eaten a bite in the last twenty-four hours and had not seen my brother. I was feeling bad but the worst was seemingly an awful dread on my mind. Finally I left the bed and started to look for my brother, when I reached the northeast corner of the square I learned that Col. C- had ridden up the pike. While I was standing on the corner immediately south of Thomas Goodrich's store house, we saw the Yankees [I think they were mounted infantry] making the curve on the street coming around in front of the old Presbyterian Church. I remarked. to the citizens that I was talking with , "I have seen a great many Yankees but there goes the hardest looking gang that I ever saw". When the head of the column reached the northeast corner of the square they filed obliquely southwest across the square toward Col. C-'s headquarters. When they were even with the court house they filed left and went to the Provost Marshals office where they formed a half-circle line in front of the office. [I watched them with mistrust.] The Provost Marshal went with the Colonel across to Col. C-'s office to deliver General Milroy's orders to Col. C-. In the meantime I walked across the square to look for my brother and as I approached the southwest corner of the square I noticed him and White Buchanan sitting with their backs against Dr., Bonner's yard fence engaged in conservation. Just then I noticed Col. Stauffer and the Provost Marshal coming through Dr. Bonner's yard gate from Col. C-'s office, and I noticed the Provost look at my brother, then say something to the Colonel and the Colonel turned and set his eyes on brother and gave him a long, wicked, vicious look until he had walked some distance. And that look did not lessen my fears and mistrust that all was not right; that something was going wrong for us. The Marshal glanced to me but the Colonel kept his eyes on brother until they had passed without seeing me. I spoke to White Buchanan and my brother and passed on to meet Parson Gill and another friend who had just then driven up and stopped on the street in front of Col. C-'s office. I walked up and was standing with one foot on one of the front wheels when Col. C-'s office guard walked up to me and said in a low tone that Col. C- said for me and brother to come into his office and stay there. The guard passed on to brother and notified him. Brother glanced at him and we both walked into Col. C-'s office. The Colonel was walking the floor seemingly in much trouble, and without delay made known to us General Milroy's orders, and he said for us to get out of town without delay and report to General Johnson at Pulaski, and referred us to his adjutant for further instructions. The adjutant was standing in the back part of the hall looking obliquely through Col. C-'s office door and the window toward the corner of the square expecting a squad of soldiers to come to take charge of us at any minute. He was also excited and informed us of General Milroy's orders and told us to make our escape if we could and report to General Johnson at Pulaski, and he [the adjutant] would send a report to General Johnson at Pulaski which would reach him as soon as or before we could get there; and General Johnson would send us to General Thomas at Nashville, who would protect us. I remarked that I was sick and had not eaten since yesterday morning and I was not able to make the trip to Pulaski. The adjutant replied, "get away from here. Avoid the pickets if you can." Then he turned to brother and said, "Captain, you have the pass that I gave you yesterday to pass you and your brother outside the pickets?" "Yes," replied brother, "a pass for me and one other man." "That will do. Your brother is the other man: avoid the pickets if possible as they may have heard the news. But if you meet them show them your pass without excitement and pass on." Brother asked the adjutant, "Do you know where the pickets are on post?" He said, "No, but I believe there are none west." He then opened the door for us to pass out. We passed out down the hill, across the street, and going directly west went up through a beautiful blue grass lawn where we meet a Yankee soldier driving some loose horses off the pasture. He was the only Yankee we saw. We addressed him and leisurely passed on, pointing at and talking about some fine cows grazing on the blue grass, and occasionally turning our eyes toward town. Continuing west we crossed over the hill south of the college and at the head of a ravine we stopped where we could see back over town and took a good look, but could see no sign of excitement or unusual movement in any way. We then started down the ravine which led a little south of west down to Elk River at or near Crooked Springs. As we started down the ravine we increased our gait and were soon under cover of the hill so we could not be seen from the Boon's Hill road and we began to feel more safe. We crossed a road running up toward the river mill. We struck the river at the head of a small island about one-fourth the distance across. Both up and down the river as far as we could see the water looked as though it was deep, except a ripple across the narrow channel between us and the island. But, deep or shallow, we must cross to the other side. I began to taking off my shoes. My brother asked if I meant to remove my clothes and I answered that I was too feeble to travel in wet clothes. We removed or clothes except shirts and I stepped back into a bunch of tall iron weeds and broke one about seven feet long to feel my way so as not to plunge into water over my head unawares. We crossed to the island and rubbed our limbs a moment as the water was very cold, having ice floating in it. We started across the wide channel I with my guide pole feeling the way and seemingly following a small ripple on the water. We found the water about the same depth all the way across, reaching to our hips. We felt thankful that it was not any deeper. We climbed up the bluff to where the bush would partly hide us and rubbed our limbs dry and dressed and then climbed to the top of the bluff and crossed a field keeping to the southwest, we reached a beautiful grassy woodland. The tall grass killed by frost, made a fairly good bed; the sun was shining nice and warm and I was feeble and needed rest so we chose a nice place with a large log on the south side which hid us from passers-by traveling the Coldwater road a hundred steps south of us. The sun warmed us from our cold bath in the river and a half hour's rest made us feel better able to travel. We then started south crossing the Coldwater road on top of the rise some distance west of Markham's Mill, continuing south up the point of a ridge through woods, crossing a small field surrounded by woodland where a large drove of wild turkeys were in the field. They shied a little to the side to let us pass. Bearing to the left we reached the Wells Hill road between the old Wells place and the top of the hill. We followed the road south a distance one of us watching forward and the other watching backward. Then turning southeast and leaving the road we dropped down in the Wells big hollow; crossing it we entered the mouth of a hollow which we traveled up in a southeast direction to the top of a hill or table land where we came to a dim wagon road leading east and west. We traveled the road east along the brakes of the hills. About half an hour before the sun set we were passing a house and I had passed four meals without eating and our little jaunt that day had made me quite fatigued and hungry. While I was resting brother asked the lady of the house if she could furnish us something to eat. She said nothing was cooked but if we could wait we could have supper. Brother gave fictitious names saying we lived in Jackson County, Alabama, and that we belonged to General Hood's army which had fallen back from Nashville a short time before and that I was left sick near Pulaski and he, my brother, was detailed to wait on me and we were now trying to get home. My physical appearance verified the sick part. While we were waiting, brother stated that in passing west of Fayetteville that day we heard the Yankees had captured Captain Cunningham and his brother and were holding them prisoners at Fayetteville and General Milroy had sent a squad from Tullahoma to execute them. The lady said, "Yes, they are prisoners but I don't think they will be executed. My husband is acquainted with them and he is in town today. I am looking for him home now; he will know." In a short time he came in and said it was a false report; that he had just came through town that afternoon and would have heard it if it had been true. He said He said he was acquainted with the Cunningham boys especially Peter whom he would know anywhere they met. Peter was our County Register before the war began. Yes, I [Peter] and the gentleman were intimately acquainted before the war, and I recognized him but he did not recognize us either of us while we stayed and talked an hour. After supper we left him in ignorance as to our identity and we followed the road east crossing the Stewart's creek and Pryor's mill road on to where a footpath left the road leading in the direction that we desired to go. After a little it became so dark that we could not follow the path so we went a few steps to one side and lay down in the underbrush and took a nap until the moon rose so we could see the way. Them we arose and traveled on until we were with in a half mile of Esquire Myrick's where brother's family was stopping. We moved on cautiously to the house awoke Mr. Myrick. He had not seen or heard of any Yankees being about. Day was now coming on so we retired to an out of the way place for the day. During the day one of Col. C-'s captains with his company passed within half a mile of Esquire Myrick's house and went on to John Smith's a mile further on. The captain requested Smith to go to Esq. Myrick's and tell Captain Cunningham's wife to tell the boys to lay low for a few days and all would be well. The day following we took some large wagon covers that we had captured from the Yankees a short time back and we went two miles from home to a dense woods where a cyclone had passed two years before and uprooted all the trees in its way; and saplings fifty feet tall on down to under brush and briars had grown up thick; and in this thicket we set our tent made of wagon covers. The large logs crossed and piled all about us made a good wind break. We made our fire where a large tree had been blown out so the fire could only be seen a short distance. We kindled the fire in the day time on account of the smoke being seen. We made a good bed out of forest leaves and had blankets and quilts. Our tent did not leak and we did our cooking at night. There was a small stream of running water in a few feet of our tent. We never fared better at any time of the war; well protected from the bad weather, a cozy bed to sleep on, fire wood convenient, good water at the door, enough to eat. But we deemed it advisable not to stay in one place long consequently we moved several times before the eighth day of May when we were finally paroled. On the 17th day of February 1865 General Milroy, U. S. A., issued orders and sent a squad of soldiers with a Colonel from Tullahoma to Fayetteville to execute the Cunningham brothers who were Confederate prisoners in custody of Col. C- U. S. A. and on the eighth day of May 1865 General Milroy sent his aide Captain Napler to Kelso with orders to parole Captain Cunningham and brother on the same terms in every particular with all the rights and privileges and protection that was given General Robert E. Lee's men when General Lee surrendered at Appomattox on the ninth day of April 1865. It seems there was quite a change in General Milroy's attitude toward Captain Cunningham and brother in a short time. General Milroy was not to blame entirely although he should have been more discreet than to order men executed on unreliable evidence, or evidence that he did not know to be reliable. I will not weary your patience further. I beg to subscribe myself, Your sincere friend, Peter Cunningham Fayetteville Observer July 2, 1914 Flintville ed. observer: One of the most fascinating and interesting church services was given here Sunday, June 28, in the form of Children's Day. The exercises were at the Methodist church in the north end of town. The program began at 9:30 o'clock and the building was filled to its utmost capacity. Every one present seemed to enjoy the day. The training of the children and direction of the program was in the care of Mrs. W. L. Foster, and the excellent way in which the exercises were given demonstrate her ability for the work. At noon the ladies spread a nice dinner in the grove near the church. In the afternoon Prof. R. K. Morgan spoke to a large crowd in the grove near the church. The features of the latter part of the afternoon were songs by the choirs of Crystal Springs and Flintville. The day closed with the young lives of those who participated in the program nearer the goal set for mankind to reach in this world. Fayetteville Observer August 17, 1914 Flintville Notes ed. observer - Whilst the great clouds are hiding the serene sky from view and pouring showers of rain, and whilst the gentle zephyrs are sweeping across the land and fanning the perspiration from our brow, the writer finds time to drop a few items to the Old Observer. Flintville is a wide place in the road and is surrounded by fields of waving corn and blooming cotton, which presents the most beautiful aspect of vernal nature that can be seen on a farm in August. The health of our community is very good at present. Miss Edith Fuller is slowly recovering from an attack of fever. Mr. Samuel P. Stiles is at home from Tullahoma where he has been for several months. Miss Ethel Scott, of Crystal Ridge, is visiting friends here. Lester Mims is visiting friends here. The new school building will soon be completed and ready for use. Rev. Con Massey is conducting a revival meeting here. He is a forceful speaker and preaches to large crowds at every service. Rev. George W. Rogers is at Elkwood, Alabama, conducting a protracted meeting. Mr. Ralph Noe has been visiting in Fayetteville the past few days. Quite a number of people from other localities are here for the summer. Mr. Milton Smith has returned from Fayetteville. The Poe Literary Society has elected Miss Alta Jenkins to fill the vacancy in the president's chair, caused by the resignation of Ralph Noe. Fayetteville Observer 1915 June 17, 1915 Flintville ed. observer - Whilst the wind is blowing and the showers of rain fall between the spells of the summer sun, the grass and weeds are growing thick and fast in our cotton and corn. But diligent work on the part of our farmers is making crops look well. The health of the community is very good. Mrs. M. Jane Whitt is recovering from a severe illness. Miss Georgia Marshall has returned home after a visit to Flintville friends. Miss Emma Swinney, of Fayetteville, has been visiting in this town. Mr. Ralph Noe has returned from Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Walker of Plevna, have been visiting Mr. John Davis. Rev. F. M. Copeland delivered a forceful sermon at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening at 8:00 o'clock. Children's day exercises will be held here Sunday, June 17. A wedding of much surprise to their friends was that of Mr. Sam McCoy and Miss Alta Jenkins, who were married in Fayetteville, by Esq. L. R. Noe, of this place. Best wishes to the "Old Reliable". Sunset Fayetteville Observer September 23, 1915 Flintville Notes ed. observer - While time rolls on and world events are happening and being added to history in various parts of the world, we will not forget to write about the little things which are taking place immediately around our little sphere of activity. In this age of progress, people are wont to turn away from the things which concern them most and rush madly into questions which are making thousands drunk on "gab" and argumentation, and which in the end have no real value at all, especially none to the progress of culture and refinement. People in this day and generation have as much time and opportunity to think as did those people who fought for freedom and liberty in the slow, steady ages of progress since civilization first awoke and put on her robe to go forth and win the world from barbarism and savagery. The greatest fault with people is that they don't think. They act first; they are made to think afterwards, when thinking is too late. We are prone to stand in high places and declare from the sun bathed hilltops that ours is the greatest country on the face of the globe, and true enough, it is great, but the men and women who lived when people thought before they acted have made it so. Will we not, as the posterity of our honored ancestors, bequeath our legacy unimpaired to our descendants? Will we let hasty action and slow, decreased brain power seize upon us with such a grip that our world-famous American liberty, for which our fathers shed their blood upon the battlefield, will be lost to oblivion forever? The Flintville school is doing efficient work under the able management of Prof. J. W. Winsett and Miss Clara Harris. A very interesting program was given at the school building last Friday afternoon. Among the people who attended the State Fair from this place were Esq. L. R. Noe, Mrs. Lee R. Noe and Miss Grace Copeland. The people of this place have begun to realize the importance of good singing and have organized a choir of the young people who are just beginning to sing. They are being taught by Mr. George W. Counts. The better musicians, that is, those who have made it a special study heretofore, have organized a military band. They are being trained by Prof. Taz Newman, of Fayetteville. It has good material. Those belonging to it are - Eben J. Cambron, Jake Harris, Fred W. Massey, Mrs. Eben J. Cambron, Prof. Ralph F. Noe, Jesse Copeland, Hosea L. Harris and William Luttrell. Fayetteville Observer January 16, 1915 ??? Distillery Destroyed There perhaps never was a period when wildcat distilleries were more numerous than at the present time. A dispatch from Anniston, Alabama, last week stated that in that section they are reported so fast that they have not the officers to break them up. It was also said that in that section the catters are making an intoxicant of cotton seed. During the past month three stills have been destroyed in Lincoln County in the region between Flintville and Lincoln. The last one to be found by the revenues was last Friday and it was a good size outfit, as about 2,000 gallons of mash was turned out. Mr. Kilgore, the raider, hid out in the brush over night and the next morning was in waiting for the men when they came to go to work. Jim Price ran out of his coat and hat but was afterward captured. The other men arrested were Luke Durham, Joe McCreary and Lon and Ley Caldwell. They were brought to Fayetteville Monday, and the preliminary trail held before Commissioner M. W. Woodard. The testimony was strong enough against the accused for him to bind them over to the March term of Federal Court. The people in a neighborhood do not fancy the idea of a wild cat distillery being near them. Besides giving the locality a bad name there is nothing more demoralizing to the boys, and no man wants liquor manufactured at his door so that his sons will be constantly tempted to start on the downward road. The only man who is benefited by such an institution is the fellow who makes a profit out of the prostitution of his fellows, and the certainty of detection and arrest sooner or latter makes it a hazardous business - the risk is out of all proportion to the small amount that he may get out of the business. As long as there are men who disregard law the business will continue, and as long as there are men who have a regard for the welfare of their sons the cats will be reported. Fayetteville Observer 1917 August 2, 1917 [Beginning August 2, 1917 and ending November 7, 1918, the Fayetteville Observer published a listing of Lincoln County men called for duty in the armed forces during the first world war.

Stenog Fayetteville Observer 1919 April 17, 1919 The Beckett Hollow Marble There is an inexhaustible deposit of marble in the Beckett Hollow, near Brighton, and it has lain there since the beginning of time. The people of the county knew of it but "familiarity breeds contempt" and it has been often declared that the traces of iron pyrites which it contains renders it worthless; this was generally accepted as a fact and no effort was made to exploit it and determine whether it was suitable for the uses of mankind. It constitutes a bluff and is easily mined, no shaft into the earth being necessary. It remained for a stranger to come to the county and see it and put a correct estimate upon its incalculable value. Mr. Keathly was the man and he bought it for $1,000 afterwards selling a half interest for $1,000. A report is in circulation that he sold his holdings last week to eastern capitalists for $50,000. The report further says that the new purchasers will at once begin the work of developing the property and will make it one of the biggest marble quarries in the country. Fayetteville Observer 1920 April 22, 1920 Wildcat Captured Last week officers went to Taylor's School House near Flintville and captured a wildcat outfit of about 30 gallons capacity. No one was about the outfit at the time but a two gallon jug of white lightning was found near the house of Jim Sanders and he was arrested charged with operating it. While this is the only arrest that has yet been made the officers have evidence on every man who had worked at the still. Fayetteville Observer September 23, 1920 The Marble At Brighton In what is locally known as Beckett Hollow, 2 1/2 miles from Brighton, is one of the finest deposits of marble to be found in the whole country and a most attractive feature is the ease of quarrying the stone. A shaft is not required but it will be taken from the side of the cliff, and then the superior drainage is a most important item. Where shafts are sunk great trouble is experienced from water and necessitates continuous pumping, which involves a heavy expense. The stone at Brighton is a very superior quality of marble and it can be quarried at the minimum expense. The property is owned by a corporation known as the Brighton Marble and Redevelopment Company. The necessary machinery has already been received and also material for building a spur track from Brighton to the quarry. There is an unlimited market for all of the marble the company can produce and work in the mine will begin at the earliest possible date. Fayetteville Observer 1921 April 14, 1921 Shooting at Flintville Last Saturday at Flintville occurred a personal difficulty between two men in which J. M. Allen was shot three times, but his wounds are not of a very serious nature. The report is that there was strained relations existing between Prof. H. W. Prosser and Allen, growing out of the teacher disciplining the son of the latter at school. The immediate cause of the altercation was Allen putting up a calf belonging to Prosser that was running out. At the time of the shooting Allen was advancing on Prosser with a knife and kept coming after Prosser stepped back and told him not to come further. Prosser telephoned to Sheriff Newman what he had done and to come for him. He made bond for his appearance at court. The first report was that Allen was fatally shot but doctors after an examination of the wounds declared that he was not seriously hurt. Fayetteville Observer April 28, 1921 The Marble At Brighton The men who are developing the vast marble deposit at the Beckett Hollow seem to have struck something as rich as a gold mine. The very finest stone imaginable is there in quantities that stagger belief and the ease with which it can be mined and loaded reduce the cost of operating to the minimum. Samples of the stone have been shown to experts elsewhere has attracted the attention of men of means who are in quest of investments of the greatest promise and last week there were a number of men in Fayetteville who had come here to visit the place and give it a personal inspection with a view of taking stock in the enterprise. It is said that there were three millionaires in the bunch that was here Thursday. The quality of the stone and the rich colorings are a guaranty that there will be a market for every piece quarried and we are told that estimating that the lowest price at which marble ever has been sold the value will mount into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Fayetteville Observer August 4, 1921 Marble Quarry In Lincoln County In last Sunday's Tennessean Charles E. Forbes had the following article printed under three beautiful pictures of Gin Hollow. The silence of Gin Hollow is broken. The peace of Lincoln County's hills has been disturbed. The call of the wild has given way to the call of civilization. The warbling of the birds on thickly wooded slopes and the rippling of the silver brooks in the deep ravines and gullies are echoed by the clink of the hammer on the drill or drowned in the roar of the blast. The music of the woods is displaced by the music of industry. For industry has come to Gin Hollow - after an absence of three score years or more. No, this is not the first time that the resources of the Hollow have been called upon to produce wealth. Way, way, back yonder, the exact date beyond memory of living man, Gin Hollow boasted a cotton gin, a tannery and a grist mill. In those days the natural resources of the Hollow were recognized for what they were worth. Water power was in abundance and easy to harness. The building material was at hand, scattered about in blocks of all sizes and description, and in quantities that staggered the imagination. When Gin Hollow ceased to exist as a beehive of industry is not on record, but it is of record that it takes its name from a cotton gin that stood midway down the ravine, where the creek runs swiftest, and in a spot not too inaccessible to those who had business there. All that remains of the old grist mill today is a stone, and that was a part of the machinery, not of the building. A solid piece of stone, carefull y hollowed to serve as the bearing for a mill wheel, rests on the side of the creek. It is the only connecting link between that industry of the Old South and the industries of the New South, that now make their invasion of Gin Hollow. That old bearing and a stone chimney, which survived the house it was built to serve by the better part of a century, alone recall the days of long ago, and as they recall those days they serve as silent reminders of the vast wealth which stood on every side, but because of its very abundance passed unnoticed. The mill bearing is a piece of marble of the highest grade. The chimney is constructed of black marble, in itself worth a small fortune. It is this marble that brings industry to Gin Hollow today. Twenty minutes ride from Fayetteville on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad is the station of Brighton. Brighton doesn't size up very high in the population statistics. On the railroad, it is a flag station. To the casual observer, it is a bulge in the road. As one native describes it, it is two miles to a store either way. Piled up on the side of the railroad track at Brighton is machinery worth thousands of dollars. More is en route. This machinery is destined to be hauled over a spur, now in the course of construction. Gin Hollow is easy of approach now. The teamsters use the right of way completed to within three hundred yards of the railroad. But before the capital of the city penetrated the wilds, Gin Hollow was a long way off. Two and a quarter miles to the north of Brighton station, as the crow flies, two hills rear themselves up. And old watercourse, which becomes precipitate as you descend, divided them. This is Gin Hollow. The hills are vast storehouses of wealth. They are of solid marble. The supply seems to be inexhaustible. The engineers estimate it to be in excess of 300,000 cubic feet. So far seven distinct colors have been located in separate and horizontal strata. At one point there stands exposed a ledge ninety-two feet in height. In another, a miniature waterfall cascades over a marble coping and reveals a seamless black wall twenty feet high and the water finds its way over a declining bed of blue gray. Numerous ravines open up here and there, and as you explore these water worn cavities you begin to grasp the extensiveness of the deposits. There is marble here, and everywhere, marble that has stood the erosion of centuries. For in every one of these ravines there is an every flowing brook, which gains its sustenance from the multitudes of springs which force their way through the ledges. Five years ago Tom Keethler of Fayetteville stumbled upon these nearby deposits. He purchased the property known as the Beckett tract, and with it went the right of way to the outer world. Mr. Keethler cast about for some one to help develop the property. He knew the wealth was there. It simply was a question of getting it out. He interested Nashville capitalists and business men in the enterprise, and the National Marble Company of Tennessee was organized to turn the raw material into merchandisable product. The war interfered with the work. The company was shut off from machinery. The railroad was unable to give help. Things had to drag along. All this time this great marble deposit was waiting for some one to take it out and sell it. Finally the situation righted itself and things began to move. Two and one-half miles of railroad right-of-way have been built and ballasted with marble. Ties are now being distributed preliminary to the arrival of a track crew which will lay the rails. The company owns sixty-eight acres of marble and it owns its right-of-way. It does not intend to take any chances, so it has constructed its own roadbed and will own its own short line to Brighton. It will own its own rolling stock and every operation from the removal of the marble from the hills to placing it on the siding on the N. C. & St. L. branch will be a company operation. The figures of the company's engineers show the following well defined strata with their trade names: American cream, ten feet thick, 15,000 cubic feet; American pearl, twenty feet thick, 40,000,000 cubic feet; American-Belgium black, thirty-two feet thick, 75,000,000 cubic feet; topaz gray, twelve feet thick, 30,000,000 cubic feet; birdseye antique, eight feet thick, 20,000,000 cubic feet; French horizon blue, twenty-four feet thick, 75,000,000. Nature has aided in every way to simplify the operation of the quarries. There is a lack of overburden on the operation that is remarkable, and the natural drainage afforded by the deep ravines, which carry off into the Elk River eliminate all possibility of drainage problems. With a double track in the quarry workings, it will be only a matter of simple engineering practice to load cars direct from the hills with a minimum of handling. With the completion of the spur and the arrival of the marble-cutting machinery at the Hollow, the company should be shipping marble by next fall. The officers and directors of the National Marble Company of Tennessee are, T. F. Bonner, president; Dr. W. C. Bilbro, vice-president; H. A. Williams, secretary and treasurer; W. A. Tirrill, A. O. Battle, James A. Gibbons, R. L. Jacobs, A. R. Robertson, J. R. Kemp, E. S. Baugh, C. S. Dickerson, all of Nashville and A. T. Barnes of Tullahoma directors. The silence of Gin Hollow is broken. Industry has returned, and to stay. Fayetteville Observer 1922 June 19, 1922 Capture Big Still Sheriff John Newman and Deputy Earl Askins captured another wildcat still Saturday morning near Flintville. Early Saturday morning the men operating the still returned and one of them, John Fowler, was captured. The others escaped.

Davis, 67, of Lexie Cross Roads, in the edge of Franklin County, member of a prominent Middle Tennessee family. The shooting took place inside a small garage at Flintville, this county. Dr. Davis fired six shots from a pistol, the bullets inflicting thirteen wounds. Squire Noe was brought here on the train Friday night and lingered until Saturday afternoon. He had one bullet wound in the cheek and others in the body. Dr. Davis was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Hugh Bryant and is in the Lincoln County jail. Dr. Davis dismissed inquires as to the cause of the shooting with the statement that they had had an argument in the garage. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Hugh Bryant on a charge of attempted murder, and the charge has not yet been changed. Dr. Davis married Mrs. Lillie Glavant, of near Flintville, about eight months ago and they lived together only three months. The report current about Flintville is that Mrs. Davis had called upon Squire Noe to ask about information about procuring a divorce, and this aroused Davis' ill feeling. No divorce bill, however, had been filed. Before he died Squire Noe made a statement to Dr. T. A. Patrick. The statement in effect was that Noe was in his car in the garage when Davis stepped up and began demeaning him and cursing him; and that Noe asked him why he did so; that he [Noe] had done nothing to cause it, and that Davis had pulled his pistol and begun shooting. Dr. Davis graduated from the Vanderbilt Medical School in 1890 and practiced medicine in Moore County, and later at Taft, this county, for several years and more recently at Lexie Cross Roads. He has a son, Walter G. Davis, residing in Russellville, Ky., and a daughter, Mrs. Mary C. Jones, residing in New England. He is an uncle of Ewin L.

Simmons was 23 years old and had a good reputation in his community. His neighbors claim for him that he was law abiding and never had any connection with making of liquor. He was killed within a few feet of his home. A still was reported destroyed about a mile from Simmons home. The shooting occurred in the presence of Ed Simmons wife and the wife of his brother, James Simmons. It was stated by these witnesses in the preliminary hearing here Tuesday before Magistrate Robert Hancock that officer Ashburn was 150 steps from Ed Simmons when he shot him and that Simmons was going away from the officer at the time of the shooting. Ashburn shot three times using a high powered rifle and there were three holes in the overall jumper worn by Simmons, but only one shot hit him. The shot entered his back, passed through his liver and severed his gall bladder. This was found by examinations of Doctors Patrick and McCown, who were called to the scene. Warrant was issued for Officer Ashburn and he came to Fayetteville Saturday for hearing. At that time an agreement was reached whereby the preliminary hearing was to take place Tuesday in Fayetteville to determine if the accused would be allowed bond. As a result of this hearing, Ashburn was remanded to the county jail at this place without bond to await trail for murder in the first degree. Intense interest in the trail was evidenced in the preliminary hearing. The court room was packed with men from Winchester, the home of the accused, and neighbors of the deceased. The state was represented in the hearing for bail by attorney Lawson H. Myers, while the defense was represented by Judge Frank Lynch and attorney Pete Haynes. District Attorney A. V. McLane, Assistant District Attorney Milton Davenport, and Prohibition Administrator W. B. Shofner, also attended the hearing. McLane took part in the trail to the extent of taking exception to some remarks of Attorney Myers, which were to the effect that if certain evidence were permitted by the court it would give the prohibition officers an opportunity to plant some evidence. Mr. McLane arose at this juncture to defend the honor of prohibition officers in general and was answered by Mr. Myers that officers who shot innocent people in the back were without honor.

Young and associates who have been drilling for natural gas in various sections of Lincoln County have met with a great deal of encouragement in their search in the Smithland section. For the past two months they have been drilling near Smithland and have drilled one well to a depth of one hundred and fifty-nine feet and found gas that gave out a flow of better than four hundred thousand cubic feet per twenty-four hours. This well is on the George Ward farm, about one-half mile west of Smithland. About three weeks ago they moved to the Hugh Syler farm right at Smithland and have drilled this one to a depth of three hundred and sixty feet and have found gas that gives out a flow of about one million cubic feet per day. They are endeavoring to drill this well to a further depth, but the flow of gas is so strong that their progress is very difficult and slow. It is the intention of Mr. Young and associates to deepen these wells to all known oil and gas horizons below the present depth. If natural gas is found in quantities that these men expect to find it, a wonderful development is bound to result from these discoveries. Results so far have been very gratifying to the parties making these tests. Their intentions is to push the work on as rapidly as possible until they have made sufficient tests to determine the capacity of this field.
