Letters to the Editor<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
I am a citizen of Maycomb. I<br />
was wondering if you could<br />
answer a couple of questions?<br />
First of all, what happened to<br />
Bob Ewell? Second, When i<br />
saw Bob fighting, why was<br />
there a ham? Last but not least,<br />
Who was the other person in<br />
the fight? Well I also have to<br />
that we will be we . Thank you<br />
for your time and hope you<br />
have a good day. The day went<br />
by as usual and then I saw a<br />
kid in a ham costume going<br />
to the school pagent. I really<br />
Masthead<br />
think that the ham was a little<br />
dry. Meanwhile I saw Jean<br />
Finch escourting someone to<br />
the Radley place when I asked<br />
who it was she calmingly said<br />
“ That man down yander is<br />
Aurther “Boo” Radley”.<br />
From, a Seth Mcfarline, lifelong<br />
citizen of Maycomb<br />

Maycomb Obituaries<br />
by Jess T & Jessy L<br />
Tom Robinson, 25, of<br />
Maycomb County died in the<br />
afternoon at Einfield Prison<br />
Farm. He was shot 17 times<br />
by prison guards while trying<br />
to escape during his exercise<br />
hour.<br />
Being proven guilty in the<br />
trial of Tom and Mayella Ewell<br />
was hard for some to take. Atticus<br />
Finch, Tom’s Defendant,<br />
tried long and hard to fight for<br />
his innocence. Many people<br />
appreciated what he did for<br />
Tom and were so thankful, that<br />
they sent food to his house that<br />
could feed their family for a<br />
very long time. The trial was<br />
fought long and hard but when<br />
it came down to the end he had<br />
to take the punishment.<br />
When Tom turned 19 after<br />
never going to school he proposed<br />
to his wife Helen.<br />
Helen Robinson and their<br />
three children were defiantly<br />
disrupted by the death of their<br />
beloved Tom. After the death<br />
the windowed wife took over<br />
her husband’s job working in<br />
the cotton fields for Mr. Deas.<br />

They seemed<br />
to be very interested<br />
in the event,<br />
but Jem seemed<br />
to be the most<br />
concerned of the<br />
come out.<br />
“I want to<br />
grow up to be just<br />
like my dad, and<br />
represent for what<br />
is right” said Jem.<br />
Robinson<br />
was later shoot 17<br />
times and killed.<br />
He was in Prison<br />
and ran for an<br />
escape during his<br />
exercise period.<br />
He was almost<br />
over the fence he<br />
was shot. When<br />
We will always remember<br />
the lost of Tom Robinson is<br />
being a true and good fellow<br />
man.<br />
Local trial brings heat to the county<br />
his family found<br />
out the hard news,<br />
Robinson’s job<br />
of working in the<br />
cotton fields for<br />
Mr. Deas was<br />
gave over to Helen<br />
Robinson, Tom’s<br />
wife.<br />
Atticus was<br />
sent food for<br />
representing Robinson.<br />
“I am very<br />
thankful for the<br />
food our family<br />
has received, but<br />
this act was nothing<br />
to the impact<br />
of receiving all<br />
of this food. I<br />
was just doing a<br />
good deed and<br />
sticking up for a<br />
good cause. Tom<br />
deserved to be innocent<br />
and I tried<br />
my very hardest<br />
to show the jury<br />
that as well” said<br />
Atticus.<br />
Since the trial<br />
is finally over we<br />
are hoping that<br />
Maycomb County<br />
can keep its<br />
problems resolved<br />
without and hard<br />
decision like this<br />
coming into play<br />
again.
