J. Mel Taylor Killed last week.
Mr. J.M. Taylor of Toombs County was shot and killed on the Cedar Crossing road near Vidalia on Thursday morning. He was passing Joe Nunn, both in buggies, when Nunn opened fire with a pistol, shooting five times, all the shots hitting Taylor. There had been some dispute between the men before over a land line tree, but it seems that Nunn began shooting without any words. Taylor died the next morning. Nunn is the Uncle of Taylor by marriage.
Mel Taylor formerly resided here, and was deputy sheriff under Mr. A.J. Burch. He was popular as a man and officer, and had many friends in this county. Montgomery County, Georgia.
After being put under arrest, Nunn inquired if Taylor was dead, saying he had tried real hard enough to kill him. Mr. Taylor married the daughter of Mr. George Mcleod, his wife and several children survive him.
