A number of people in our town were made alarmingly ill last week by easting some souse or hog’s headcheese, which proved to be too old for good eating. Among the number were J. B. Gully and entire family of Mr. J. S. Brassfield, Mrs. Brassfield especially suffering intensely and a number of W. W. Watson’s and J. W. Gully’s families. Our good friend, John Shaw was critically ill during the same week, but says, “it wasn’t souse.” Our good friend, R. G. Hamill, writes us from Ackerman under the date of December 31st, that he is on his way to Western Texas, where he will remain a while. We wish him a pleasant visit to the Lone Star State. Mr. Wallace McDaniel and Miss Lillie McDaniel were happily married on December 11th, 1904 at the residence of Mr. Geo. Speaks, he officiating. These are two of the most popular young people of that section, and have many friends who wish them well in their married life. Our friend, J. S. P. Carr of Tampa office was in town last Friday and paid up all arrears to January 1, 1906 in advance. Mr. Carr is engaged in farming and teaching and is prospering, and his progressive spirit entitles him to great success. Ackerman Record Contractor Andrews with forty or fifty teams arrived in our town Wednesday and is now engaged in grading the 20 acres of ground for the relay station, that some towns have claimed that we would not get. This insures for Louisville one of the most valuable enterprises on the road and will be worth a great deal. |
