(Taken from the Daily Corinthian Newspaper, Corinth,

Mrs. L.A. Beaty of Corinth spent Wed. in the city as the guest
of Mrs. W.J. Olive.

Selmer Sat. They left Sat. evening for Corinth for a few days,

HAGY SHOT AT HAMBURG
As we go to press it is reported by telephone that Millard
Fraley shot Oscar Hagy in the latter’s store at Hamburg at
about 9:00 this morning. It is said that two shots were fired,
both taking effect in the arm. No further particulars are
known here. Mr. Hagy is a son-in-law of N.A. Erwin, of this
city.
MARRIED
On Friday night of last week Mr. R.B. Braden, the popular and
efficient Town Marshal of Selmer, and Miss Lula Carroll, the
pretty and only daughter of Sheriff R.M. Carroll, were united
in marriage. Owing to an evident predisposition to romance and
a rather persistent parental objection the young
couple did not marry in Selmer. They drove over to Bethel
Springs by the lovely and sympathetic light of the stars and
had the nupitals consumated there. From Bethel Springs they
went to Henderson for a day or two and thence returned home
under a happy and complete reconciliation all the way
around. In justice to the groom it is proper to say that the
only ground of objection was the tender years of the bride.
