-The death of John I). Perry, of
Walhalla, last Saturday removed
from our midst one of the best men
we have ever known, and the an
nouncement of his passing will be
received with sorrow in every section
of Oconee, for he was well known
and universally beloved and respect
ed. Mr. Perry had been in feeble
health for a long time, having several
years ago suffered a stroke of paral
ysis, from which he never recovered,
though lie was able at times to be up
and about until recent months. He
was a native of Oconee, having been
born in the Coneross section, and was
a son of tho late Foster Perry. He
was 77 years of age and was a Con
federate veteran, having served In
the Confederate States Army from
the opening of hostilities, being but
a mere youth when he entered the
service of his country. He made a
faithful, brave and willing soldier,
and we have heard from his com
rades that no better soldier than J.
I). Perry could be found in the ranks
of the Confederacy. In early life he
was happily married (about ISVI!) to
Miss Burt Moorohead, who survives
him. lt is a strange coincident that
the widow is the sole surviving mem
ber of tho family, Mr. Perry having
had nb brothers or sisters living. The
deceased was a consistent member of
the Methodist church, with which ho
had been identified since young man
hood. Ile was a consecrated Chris
tian and his life, was as an open
book, in his passing away Oconee
has lost one of her best, citizens, the
church a zealous member and tho
community a man to whom it was
possible to point and admonish the
youth, of the community that there
was a niau after whose life any yoting
man might shape his course and bo
absolutely certian of attaining dis
tinction as an honest man and Chris
tian of high type. On Sunday after
noon his remans were laid to rest in
the Richland Presbyterian cemetery,
a large number of sorrowing friends
accompanying In remains and pay
ing the last sad tribute of love and
respect to friend and neighbor. The
bereaved widow has the sincere sym
pathy of hosts of friends in her hour
of sorrow.

ough examination of the young man

is probable, be sent to that institution
for care and a possible correction of

tion pond nt. Westminster fouirv. mi ve
months ago. The version of lie af
fair that resulted in the death of tho
boy, as given by Summerell, is that
he and several other men were in
bathing, and the boy was occupying
a boat, from which the men were
'.taking turn :" {lt diving. Summerell
says that the boy was in the boat
when he prepared to dive, and that
it is supposed that the force of the
shove given the boat as he dived up
set it, and young Norris was thrown
into the water and drowned. Oconee
officers have been looking for Sum
merell for some time, it ls said, as he
left Westminster shortly after the
tragedy occurred. He says he has
been working at the mills at New
Holland, Ga., ever since he left West
minster, and went last, week to An
derson on a visit. Shortly after his
arrival in that city he was arrested
by local police officers. Summerell
was brought to the Oconee jail last

Mrs. Grant's neck was broken by tho
force of her fall, her head s\rlking

-William B. McCall, of North
Carolina, was arrested in Walhalla
last Saturday afternoon and placed
in the Oconee jail, being charged
with desertion from Jhe army while
in camp at Camp Jackson. Columbia.
McCall, after stoutly denying that ho
had ever been in military service,
finally admitted that he had been in
training at Jackson, and sta^d that
he left camp shortly before the sign
ing of the armistice. Local police
officers had instructions to watch out
for McCall, as he had left Highlands,
North Carolina, where ho had been
"summering," and was thought to
he headed for this section of tho
country. Chief Sullivan met the man
on the street Saturday evening, and
after a brief period of questioning,
McCall suddenly broke and ran. He
was overhauled about half way from
Main street to the corporate limits
of the town, having suddenly come
in contad with a barb wire fence.
(Ask Elliott Rhodes if McCall is a
good runner. Mr. Rhodes was tho
llrsl to reach McCall at the fence.)
McCall is still In the, county Jail, but
will be taken to one of the military
camps for trial on the charge of de
sertion, as soon as instructions are
received as to where he is to be sent,
or until a military officer ls sent for
him.
