HALL of Petersburg in Hale County, age 57 years, A. L. HALL of Bangs in Brown County, age 57 years, and T. W. HALL of Dublin in Erath County, 40 years. A sister MRS.

New Christian Minister Rev. D. R. HARDISON, new pastor of the Christian church in Dublin, arrived with his family, now comfortably situated in the church parsonage. The children are their son MARION and daughters Misses KATHLEEN and LOUISE.

Recovering from Wound CHARLES THORNTON, the young man who was accidentally shot in the head with a target gun on Dec. 21 at the home of his father, J. J. THORNTON three miles south of Dublin, is recovering nicely and was in town this week. The ball entered his head slightly above the right ear, ranging downward and was considered a dangerous and most likely a fatal wound.

Death of Two Pioneers MRS. ANNIE HARRISON of Gustine died last Monday at the age of 76 years since last July and was buried at Siloam cemetery on Tuesday. Mrs. Harrison was a pioneer of the Gustine community. She was the mother of PAT, HUB and GARVES LESTER of this section, MRS. CHARLES JONES of Baird and MRS. BEN GARNEL of Gustine and Rev. TRAVIS LESTER, minister of a Christian Church in Oklahoma. Mrs. Harrison has been a resident of Texas since she was five years of age and has lived near Gustine since the Civil War.

Rev. R. D. ROSS died at his home three miles southwest of Highland Dec. 19 at the age of 84 years. Rev. Ross was one of the pioneer ministers in this section and has resided in this locality for fifty years or more. He has been an active and useful citizen throughout his career as well as a potent force in the Christian world about him. Burial took place at the Round Grove cemetery near Highland, Dec. 30.

The big barn of W. B. WARNER at his home in southwest Dublin was destroyed by fire last Monday afternoon. The fire is supposed to have been caused by children playing the barn, striking matches.

The fruit stand in the small building next door north of the Progress office was burglarized last Sunday night, bananas and apples stolen. Mr. NICHOLS notified the officers.

Romantic Wedding MISS GEORGIA RAWLS of Dublin and CHARLES A. STRICKLIN of near Ballinger were married Dec. 20 at the home of the bride’s sister, MRS. W. G. SHELTON near Santa Anna. The wedding was unannounced and came as a surprise to all except the immediate family of the young couple. A considerable romance also attaches to the marriage in that the couple were playmates and sweethearts in their school days some years ago at their homes in Limestone County. Some ten years ago, both families moved from Limestone County to west Texas together and six years ago, the family of Miss Rawls moved to Dublin. The young people lost trace of each other at that time, but last summer, Miss Rawls was visiting her sister at Santa Anna, and by chance, the young people met there and this meeting ripened into the ceremony which made them man and wife on the 20th of last month.

W. J. COURTNEY was here from Lacananea, state of Soncra, Mexico to spend the holidays with his parents. He is the time keeper in the paymasters division of the big copper mines there, for the past three years. Mr. Courtney returned to his position last Sunday.

D. W. L. CATHEY has a pet coon that escaped last week and created some uneasiness on the part of Mr. Cathey who thinks a great deal of this sly little animal. It was captured a few nights ago by one of his neighbors; it caught a chain about his neck, fastened to the slats of a chicken coop.

N. ROBBINS of Harbin and MRS. A. C. GARRETT, who are his sisters. Some trouble occurred at Chalk Mountain last Thursday night when some kind of show was on exhibit. The lady who sold the tickets was insulted by someone and she shot at the offender but missed him and hit a bystander. No serious damage was done and the woman is now in jail. A lamentable tragedy occurred near Huckaby Christmas day. J. D. BAUM, who resided in Stephenville, went with his wife to visit her mother near Huckaby. During the day Baum and his brother-in-law, EDGAR WATSON, got into trouble over some settlement. In the fight, Baum cut Watson’s throat which killed Watson.

UNCLE TOM GILBERT of the Edna Hill community was in town one day last week and in conversing with a Progress reporter, became reminiscent and talked in an interesting manner of some of his war experiences. The subject was brought up through his reading a recent news items in the Progress regarding the death of his old comrade, Capt. D. MOORE, at the home of his daughter MRS. LEE BAYS of this city. Mr. Gilbert recited that he and Mr. Moore were comrades in the Civil War, both having enlisted in Co. D. of the 43rd Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers and operated under JOHNSON in LORAINE’S Division of ADAMS Brigade with Col. HARRIS as their commander. They were together in the retreat before Sherman in his historic march to the sea and in the battles at Rasaca, Georgia and in many engagements in Tennessee after that. He recalled that Mr. Moore was struck by lightning at the battle of New Hope Church in Georgia and for a time, it was feared that he would die and was taken to the hospital. During the battle, a terrific electrical storm occurred and he says with the roar of the elements and that of the artillery and the rattle of the musketry, this experience was one of the most terrible that he had ever had occasion to undergo.
