A Double Wedding
Married at the residence of R. H. Hodge of Barry, October 28,
1900, Rev. Lockett officiating, Miss Hattie Lee Dunklin to Mr. J.
H. Hodge, and Miss Maggie Hodge to Mr. Will Hood. There was a
large crowd in attendance and a fine dinner in honor of the
occasion. Little Earl Varnell and Mildred Hodge scattered roses
in their pathway. Messrs. Hodge and Hood are industrious, sober
and honest men. Mr. Hodge and Miss Maggie were raised inHenderson
county, and belong to one of the best families of the county. The
young ladies are general favorites in the community and are noted
for those estimable and amiable qualities that adorn womanly
character. May they all be happy and prosperous through life is
the wish of the writer.
A FRIEND.

A Shooting a Malakoff
Last Monday evening occurred a difficulty in Malakoff in which
Tex Boyett was shot by W. B. Payne. There are different accounts
of the affair, but for the interest of all parties concerened we
give none of them. The ball passed entirely through Boyett's body
very close to the heart. He had been doing very well up to
midnight Wednesday, but yesterday morning was thought to be
worse. Payne left immediately after the shooting and had not been
apprehended at last accounts yesterday morning. There were two
shots fired but only one person struck.
At the time of going to press there was no change in the
condition of Mr. Boyett.
