A strange animal has made its appearance in the locality between Sawyers' Mills and Holladay, and those who have seen it do not agree as to what the'animal really is. Alvin Higdon, who succeeded in getting a close inspection of the animal while passing along the road near the home of Jack Cole, describes it as tawny color, with dark spots on its side. Some are inclined to think that it is an escaped leopard from some of the shows that passed through West Tennessee last fall. Others believe it is a wildcat, as this ani mal is sometimes found along Big Sandy River. Again, it may be a wolf. Anyway, it has made war on the dogs of that locality, killing every one that crosses its path. ' FRTKR-MILAM. - A unique marriage occurred at Yuma on . Christmas eve.
