T.H. NORTON was shot and killed on Monday night by Will SIMS at the home of J.S. BREWSTER, two miles south of Town Creek. It seems that a number of people had assembled at the place named and dancing was going on. In some manner the two became involved in a difficulty the result being the death of NORTON. SIMS made his escape that night but was captured Tuesday and committed to jail. NORTON was well known here. He leaves a wife and ten children who have the sympathy of many friends in sorrow.
