microfilm of the Calhoun Chronicle dated 9/15/1896.
T.C. Owens left Grantsville, for God only knows where, to be gone
until
his few friends will be glad to see him on his return. The above note
was picked up in the postoffice last Tuesday morning by Postmaster
Waldo
in a few moments after Owens left the office to take a hack for
Smithville.
The note appears to be written in Owen's handwriting and so far as we
know
is about all the information any one seems to have as to his
intentions.
Before leaving he called at our office and settled his account in
full,
and we are informed that he did the same with others. Unpleasant
marriage relations is said to be the cause of his sudden and
unexpected
departure. Go where he will and do what he may the Chronicle
will
always have a warm side for him on account of pleasant associations,
and
the greatest harm we wish him is that he may leave strong drink alone
and
find lucrative employment, prosper and grow strong. |
