SHOOTS Loading Crew<\/strong>
Gaskin, Fla., July 12, 1909. (Special) -Last week Lewis Holman a man of some 85 years old became aggravated with the loading crew of The Britton Lumber Co. and shot into them with a shot gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody was killed but Bully Prescott was shot through the leg with a portion of the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. W. F. Floyd assisted by a deputy arrested him later and he is now out on a $500.00 bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

N O T I C E <\/strong>
The Star always takes the third week in July for holiday and as a result there will be no issue next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

IMMENSE GOURD<\/strong>
Mrs. J. P. Hines called at the Star office Monday bringing with her one of the longest gourds which has ever been seen in our midst previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The handle of this gourd alone was 31″ long. How is this for a long handled gourd?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Futhermore, the handle is perfectly straight instead of crooked as some gourd handles are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florala boars of having a gourd 22″ long but we now presume that florala will have to grow another gourd if she wishes to keep ahead of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also ahead of Florala in goats. We presume we have more than any other town in Walton County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

WENT STARK CRAZY!<\/strong>
Lakewood, Fla., July 13- (Special) – Soon this morning Victoria Jenkins, a negro woman who cooks for Mr. W. C. Grimes entered a crazy state and is still crazy as we go to press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is now spending more of her time indulging in silly actions of all kind and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Mr. A. J. Tucker intended to go to Darlington yesterday but the train unexpectedly left him and as a result he is still in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. WO Nelson was up in Georgia last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

FOR QUICK SALE !<\/strong>
AN OLD COW-which I find doesn’t give enough milk to pay her board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very rare cow. She bellows nearly all the kind of bellows known and is continually at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has a very graceful form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rare steak is about all this rare cow would be good for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cow can be seen at the lots or on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours for selling cow,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L O C A L<\/strong>
Mrs. W. C. Grimes had a few of her friends from Florala to spend yesterday with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. W. A. Mills swapped horses yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold drinks at Britton Lumber Co.’s General Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Stanley was in town Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. T. J. Britton is expected home today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news is very scarce in this neighborhood this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday is pay day with The Britton Lumber Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. W. A. Mills made a trip to Pensacola last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A secret club was organized here last week. We think it was mostly a money making proposition though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about the goats Mayor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The first thing we saw Saturday morning was a horse pulling that bum auto from Paxton through town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we said before we would just as soon it would have stayed in Paxton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope all Paxton’s property is not of this grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
