Alabama for OCTOBER 1913

CHANDLER AND LAMBERT FIGHT AT MUSCADINE; CHANDLER RECEIVES BLOW ON HEAD, IN
CRITICAL CONDITION

Bud Lambert and Edgar Chandler became involved in a general hand-to-hand fight
at Muscadine on Monday afternoon at or near Lambert's residence. It is
claimed that Lambert struck Chandler on the head with a rock and at present
Chandler is in a serious condition from the blow which crushed Chandler's
scull, it is thought. The trouble as reported seems to have started about a
dog between Bud Lambert and Meriman Voss on Saturday evening last. Monday
afternoon Edgar Chandler and George Voss went to Lambert's home to straighten
out the trouble. While there, Bud Lambert and Edgar Chandler got into the
difficulty which resulted as stated above. It is not known who is the most to
be blamed.

OLD FRIEND W.W. FOWLER AGAIN WRITES

Blackwell, Georgia Sept. 29, 1913
To the Editor of The Cleburne News

Dear Editor, After so long a time I feel constrained to let you and your
readers hear from me and Cobb County, Georgia. We have had a most glorious
meeting here. An Alabama preacher Bro. Glass, of Birmingham, conducted the
services and a wonderfu preacher he is too. Twenty-five additions to church,
17 by experience and 8 by letter. I am persuaded to believe that Alabama
leads Georgia in good strong spiritual workers anyhow.

Mr. Editor, I wish to compliment you right here for the splendid paper you get
out, as it would be quite good enough for Cobb County. There are two weekly
county papers and one daily paper published at Marietta and your paper, The
News, would more than compare with either one of these.

Am very glad to see the interest that is being manifested in road building in
Cleburne. We have a new gasoline traction plow and scrape here and I tell you
it does the work. Cobb County is noted for her road building and bye and bye I
can see the time when mail carriers can drive their routes here in an up-to-
date auto and deliver their mail in 2 1/2 hours and of course there will be
some satisfaction in delivering mail. I trust the time will speedily come
when Cleburne will have her named marked up with some of those progressive
counties and also become noted for her good roads. Think the R.F.D. carriers
should get together and pass some strong resolution in the interest of good
roads and thereby show how they stand on these questions and show that they
are ready to cooperate. If this escapes the waste basket I will write you
again in the future. Wishing ye editor and your many readers success, I am
yours truly, W.W. Fowler

RAY - GRIZZARD CASE POSTPONED TO NOV. 14th

In August 1912, R.B. Ray instituted proceedings against his father-in-law,
S.S. Grizzard, for the custody of the former's son, Homer Ray. The case was
tried before Judge A.H. Glasgow, with W.B. Merrill representing Mr. Ray and
W.C. McMahan representing Mr. Grizzard. After the examination of a number of
witnesses, Judge Glasgow decided that the boy should be left with his
grandfather. Recently, Ray instituted another proceeding of the same nature
before Judge H.D. Merrill, which hearing came up Monday at this hearing. W.B.
Merrill and Judge Tate of Anniston represented Mr. Ray and Johnson and McMahan
represented Mr. Grizzard. A number of witnesses were summoned by both sides
and a good deal of interest was shown in the trial by all concerned. The case
was continued on account of some witnesses being absent, until Nov. 14th. This
promises to be one of the most sensational cases tried in Cleburne County in a
long time.
