SHOOTS Loading Crew
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.
Nobody was killed but Bully Prescott was shot through the leg with a portion of the load.
Mr. W. F. Floyd assisted by a deputy arrested him later and he is now out on a $500.00 bond.
N O T I C E
The Star always takes the third week in July for holiday and as a result there will be no issue next week.
IMMENSE GOURD
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.
The handle of this gourd alone was 31″ long. How is this for a long handled gourd?
Futhermore, the handle is perfectly straight instead of crooked as some gourd handles are.
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.
We are also ahead of Florala in goats. We presume we have more than any other town in Walton County.
WENT STARK CRAZY!
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.
She is now spending more of her time indulging in silly actions of all kind and nature.
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.
Mr. WO Nelson was up in Georgia last week.
FOR QUICK SALE !
AN OLD COW-which I find doesn’t give enough milk to pay her board.
This is a very rare cow. She bellows nearly all the kind of bellows known and is continually at it.
She has a very graceful form.
Rare steak is about all this rare cow would be good for.
The cow can be seen at the lots or on the range.
Yours for selling cow,
