A DIFFICULTY IN MORGAN CO.
A difficulty occured on Little Caney, in Morgan county, last Saturday in which nine shots were exchanged.  Uriah and Joe Elam were engaged on one side and Beverly and Frank Lewis on the other.  Joe Elam owned a piece of land through which the Lewis boys had to pass to the road and Elam refusing to let them go through they undertook to force their way, with the result that Beverly Lewis received a severe wound from a hatchet in the hands of Uriah Elam.  One man had all his vest and shirt torn away and his abdomen grazed by the contents of a double-barrel shot gun.  Coon Stamper endeavored to act as a peacemaker and held the muzzle of a shot gun in either hand while he stood between two of the beligerents.  Warrants were Saturday issued for all the parties.

S.S. Combs the gentlemanly proprietor of the Combs House, returned Saturday 
from Cincinnati and other points whre he bought a full supply of dry goods,  etc.

Mrs. Sarah Jane Drake, wife of our fellow townsman, John E. Drake, died 
Thursday morning of dropsy. She was a member of the Christian church and met the grim monster with joy, which faith in the Lord Jesus Christ only can give.  She was loved by all who knew her and the world is better by having her lived in it.  The night was never too dark nor the chilly blasts of winter were never too cold to prevent her from visiting the sick and the dying and administering to their wants. We are confident that she is singing with the angels on the elysina fields of heaven, where fragrant flowers bloom forever, and basking in the golden sunshine of the countenance of Him who died on Calvary's rugged brow.  Let us emulate her example and meet her on the glittering streets of pure gold where parting will be no more.  Her body was laid to rest in the Evans graveyard, one mile from town, to await the resurection morn.  Her funeral was preached at the graveyard by Rev. F. A. Savage.
