Just ns the sun was sinking beneath ae Western horizon, on Friday evening, j au. 23, our erstwhile, quiet and unventful little town was veered from its egular course-and was steered into a sea f excitement and grief by a murder? Q( say that as the courts will handle it as nurder. Mr, W. E. Nixon was shot to f0 leath by Mr. Jake Jeter, who erapted jotli barrels of a shotgun similtaneously uto his victim's light breast, who breathed about fifteen minutes in total uncoti9niousuess after the shot. (Jut of due respect to those in trouble, 1 will ir not give the details as full as 1 have heard, but will be as brief as possible. Si There had not been previously any bad feeling between these men.

Friends warned him that threats ' life evening Jeter"was noticed standing in Mr. L. B. Jeter's store door, kind of hiding behind the door post with a gun, both bariels cocked-, but several ptople did not know his intentions, until Nixon came up the stre?(, and as he got nearly opposite the d'vir Jeter fired both barrels into him and ran. The coucussion was so violent the old man actually bounced, fell biok and was heard to say, "that kUUaae,'^arjt}jieYer ?poke afterwards, m knew anything. lie had a hole shot * into him, into which a man could* insert ] both flits, as not ten feet was betwaen 1 the men.
