Argus Week of February 16, 1882 Watson Shiver Mr. Robert Watson of this County, and Miss Mattie Shiver of Washington County was married at the residence of Mr. Wiley Fears in Jasper county, on Thursday evening last. Rev. W. J. Oxford officiating. Our friend Bob has got the right sort of pluck when he says hes going to marry. He dont let nothing daunt him. He was to have married Thursday morning at 9 oclock but the surging billows of the Ocmulgee as she stood at high water mark bid defiance to the happy union; but bob put whip in the direction of Tennessee until he came to where there was no Ocmulgee, then changing his course to the direction of the star that he had chosen to guide him through life and drove in about twelve hours behind schedule time. We hope he may be equally successful in overcoming all obstacles through life. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb

Argus Week of December 3, 1890 On Wednesday of last week a young man by the name of Duke, from Newton county, shot and killed a Negro named Broadus near the South river bridge in the northern part of this county. It seems, for quite a while, parties from the three counties of Butts, Newton and Jasper would meet at this spot for the purpose of card playing. On this occasion, a crowd of both white and colored had met and was engaged in a game, and during a dispute over the question of who had won. Duke drew a pistol and shot Broadus in the breast, killing him instantly. Coroner Clark held an inquest over the dead man, and the verdict was of the jury was murder. Duke has fled. He is a son of William Duke who killed his brother-in-law, Parker, in 1869, and was killed a few years ago by a brother of the one he killed. He is about eighteen years of age.

Argus Week of October 20, 1881 A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY A WHITE MAN SHOOTS A COLORED WOMAN Smiths Mills, Ga. October 17 Editor Argus One of the most cold blooded murders ever committed in this (Jasper) county occurred 3 or 4 miles form this place last Friday. Mr. Dock Brewer of this county shot and killed a colored woman in the dwelling of Mr. Richard Edwards. The difficulty causing the killing originated about some cotton that was being gathered on Mr. Brewers premises. Some misunderstanding having gotten up in regard to a division of the crop; Mr. Brewer knocked her down with a rock, and she ran to the house of Mr. Edward nearby for safety, Mr. B. went to his house for his gun and returning with buck shot, twelve to each barrel went in to the house of Mr. Edwards and attempted to drag her from the house to shoot her, but she caught hold of the bedstead and being unable to drag her into the yard, he leveled the gun discharging the contents into her neck and face. One load, lead having entered her right side tearing off the side of her head scattering blood and brains over the bed and clean washed clothes folded in a chair near by. Mr. Edwards and his son had gone to Macon that morning, and left Mrs. E alone, and she became so frightened that she ran into the woods, and was not discovered till nearly night, her and a small boy was the only witness to the foul deed.
