Coonie Cooper, son of Barton
Cooper, and Watson Manly,
both of Smith’s Prairie, living
about three miles north-east of
Campbell, were instantly killed
by lightning Thursday at 1 p. m.
at the Snyder farm, one mile
southwest of Brashear.
The young men were riding
along the road on their return
from a trip east and riders and
horses were killed by the same
bolt and fell in the road without
a struggle. Brady Stepart
found the bodies aboutf three
o’clock while on his way to
Brashear.
Squire Dickson and Constable
English were called and had the
bodies moved to Brashear where
an inquest was held, finding as
ah ve, after which they were
brought to Cumby to be met by
relatives to carry the sad burden
to their hmnes, where they ar-
rived at midnight.
Coonie Cooper was a young
man of about eighteen years, and

wishes to his old
friends in and about Cumby.
He is getting along nicely and
has sown a big crop of oat.-, and
would be in the market for one
of Harris’ hinders another year
if he was in rea:h.
As we promised two weeks
ago to give Hon. R. R. Williams
a fuller notice from time to time,
we will comply with Uiat promise.
He is seeking re-election at
the hands of our,, people because
he is in a position to serve them
better than ever and better than
a new man can possibly do. His
long experience in public affairs,
and his wide acquaintance with
public men, is an asset to both
county and state.
He l>a* served us with dignity,
efficiency and faithfulness in the
last legislature and left his im-
press upon the statutes of our
state that will remain for good
during the comirrg years.
At\ the organization of the
HousAhe was placed upon four
important committees; Federal
Relations, State Affairs, Agri-
culture and Labor, and was vice-
pres'd^nt of two of them. These
committees considers 1 shap-
ed a large part of the bas.nes:
cf the licu'ee.
He introduced seven bills and
four of them became laws; he
was joint.author of four bills and
two of them became laws—a
record that was not equaled by
any other member of the House.
He also introduced an amend-
ment to the constitution which
was killed in committee.
Democratic Bob is an establ-
ished instution of Hopkins county
and her political history and his
long life and career among this
people has given him a place and
a name that is unasailable at any
point.
The people know him for his
clean, Christian life and devotion
to duty as he sees it and they
suppport him with perfect confi-
dence. To those who may be
late comers to the county we can
say in all confidence that x\o bet-
ter man will offer for office and
' y L - Bob Williams is always
4 cafe vote.
