een in bad health for quite a while
and death was not unexpected. All
was done by loving hand that could
be done. When God calls, we must
go. Death is something all must
answer for themselves. No one can
take our place. Mr. Simmons was
ready and waiting for the call. He
was a member of the Pleasant Grove
Church and tried to live a Christian
life and was always ready to help in
time of need. He selected the songs
and pall bearers a few days before he
passed away. He leaves to mourn his
loss, his wife and five children, one
brother, three sisters, two nephews
and a host of friends. Funeral
services were conducted at Bethel
Church by Rev. Burns and the
deceased was laid to rest in Bethel
Cemetery.

Six Guards Whiskey
Eminence, KY. Jan. 14. Six guards,
faithful and courageous with their
rifles and pistols in hand, keeps
ceaseless vigil over solitary barrel of
whiskey in a secluded nook in one of
the large warehouses of the La
Montagne Bros. Distillery. Last
proud survivor of lost cause at
Eminence Distillery receives kingly
homage from government. The
whiskey is valued at $350.00 The
guards receive $140 a month, but
who reckons the cost?
Shooting Affray
Early this week, Herbert Hibbs went
to the home of Dan Druin, called
him out and shot him with a large
caliber pistol. The bullet struck him
on the right side of his face, ranging
backward and slightly downward,
finally stopping on the point of his
right shoulder. Hibbs at once
proceeded to fly from the scene of
the shooting and at this writing, his
whereabouts is unknown.
To the officers and those seeking
him, Druin says he knows of no
reason for the shooting. The
shooting took place on the hills in
the vicinity of the Artemisa Spring
about two miles east of the
“Mountain Top”.
Hibbs has always been regarded as a
peaceable man and being a nephew
of the man he shot.
His friends and acquaintances are at
a loss to know why he did it.
