Jack (a dog)
Old Dog Jack Is Dead.
Died, at his home in Knoxville, December 29th, at 3:30 o'clock p.m. and was taken to his final resting place by
the tender hands of Messrs. A.M. Waller and Dillard Mercer where he received a decent burial in a suitable casket
that had been selected for the occasion. Jack, the noted dog, was 7 years old and noted dog, was 7 years old and
had many friends around Knoxville. His acquaintance was far reaching, as the patrons of Col. A.S. Mercer's breeding
barn will remember Jack through the intelligence he possessed, which was unexcelled by any dog that ever lived
in the Knoxville country.
He had grained fame throughout the entire county and was liked by all who knew him except one. Many offers have
Col. Mercer refused for this valuable dog and friend to man. He always refused to set a price on Jack. The dog
was left on the farm in charge of Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Waller when the Mercer family moved to Richmond. He was adopted
into a new home on the old home place, and there was treated like a child, where he learned to eat candy and drink
coffee.
We only hope that the one whose cruel hands administered the poison that took Jack's life away not become grieved
but prosper in the future. Much could be said complimentary to this dog, but Jack had flowers sterns in his pathway
during his stay here with us. -

News reached this city Tuesday evening that Fred, a ten year-old son of John G. Joy, who resides near Russellville,
this county, had been kicked in the head by a mule on Monday evening, that his skull had been crushed in by the
heavy blow, and that his recovery was doubtful. Drs. Carpenter and Gant were called in to see the little fellow,
and were of the opinion that he would not recover. The news of the sad accident was conveyed to F.W. and Jasper
Joy of this city, brothers of the boy's father, and the latter procured a team Tuesday evening and started immediately
to ascertain the facts in the case. He returned home Wednesday and says he thinks the little fellow may recover
although he considers his injuries very serious.
