Corley is lying at his home desperately wounded and a posse of three hundred men is scouring the country for Ed Bynum, a des' perate negro, and if he is caught a lynching will sorely follow. It> seems that Bynum had some trouble with Mr. C. W. Caughman, about a field he was working, and the negro went into the field early this morning and run a number of negroes out of the field with his gun, Mr. Canghman issued a warrant for his arrest, and Sheriff Corley went to Bynum's house. When he came up to the house the negro shot him through a window with a shotgun, ffco sheriff firwl with his rifle, but not until after he was shot. The news spread like wild fire and it was not long before the whole country was aroused. Bynum made his escape and up to 9 o'clock has not been captured. He is a notorious character and ha9 been in trouble before. Sheriff Corley is shot in the right side of the face, and in the breast. His right hand is riddled with shot. Dr. Wingard is in attendance, but the extent of the injuries cannot be ; ascertained. Henry Corley is one of the bravest officers in the State, and his thousands of friends will wish for him a rapid recovery. Recital Friday Nigbt.

Taylor on Jan. 1, 1898. i To this union four children were born, j two boys and two girls who, with her ; ( husband, father, mother, two broth- j ers and five sisters, are left to mourn i 3 \ her loss. i 1 i When but a mere girl she joined I the Lutheran church at Nazareth of j I which she was a faithful member unj til after lier marriage, when she unit- \ I ei with the Methodist church at Boil- j ; ing Springs, where she remained a !; j faithful member until God called her. ; For over three months she bore her j ! sufferings patiently and trusted in j [ God. I have never seen a more pa I tienfc sufferer. Qu;et and unassum ing, hers was a beautiful Christian i : ltfp anrt it mav he of her that the . i world is better because she lived, i Though she be dead her influence i will live on in the lives of those who i knew her. i May God's richest blessings rest on | the sorrowing loved ones and by His help may they 90 follow in her steps j I as she followed her Lord, and finally j meet her in that land where parting j i is no more.
