In some mysterious way the news got circulated that Mr. F.G. Becknell, formerly of Piedmont, but now of Anniston, had died. Nearly everyone you met was under the impression our old friend had passed off the stage of action, but his family and intimate friends here were very much gratified to find when calling up his family in Anniston, that Mr. Becknell was not dead. Not only that, but stated that he had not even been sick or even feeling bad, so “I’m glad to tell you that I’m not dead, and glad of it,” was his comment to his friends.
F.G. BECKNELL NOT DEAD AND IS GLAD OF IT
PIEDMONT, ALA. , Jan. 5.
