I LIVE IN A SMALL  TOWN , IT IS SO SMALL THAT EVERY ONE KNOWS EVERY ONE,  AS WELL AS ABOUT EVERY ONE . ON A ROAD NEAR MY HOUSE THAT LEAD TO ANOTHER SMALL TOWN ABOUT NINE MILES AWAY THERE IS A BIG TWO STORY HOUSE THAT SITS ON THE HILL AND A PLACE BELOW THE HOUSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL USED TO BE A OLD TAVERN .  A MAN AND HIS WIFE LIVED IN THE HOUSE ON THE HILL AND RAN A LITTLE TAVERN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL , WHERE LOCALS AND FRIENDS WOULD STOP IN FOR A FEW BEERS AND PLAY POOL AND TALK , THEY SOME TIMES PLAYED  MUSICE AND DANCED ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS . THIS WAS IN 1968 THE HOUSE IS STILL THERE BUT THE TAVERN IS TOREN DOWN . IT WAS SAID THAT THE MAN WHO OWNED THA PLACE AND A WOMAN WHO WAS OFTEN THERE WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR . ONE NIGHT THE MANS WIFE LEFT EARLY BEFORE THE BANK CLOSED TO DROP A DEPOSIT , WHEN SHE RETURNED SHE SAW HER HUSBAND DANCING WITH THIS WOMAN , SHE SHOT THEM BOTH , THE HUSBAND LIVED BUT THE LADY DIED THERE ON THE SCEEN .  YEARS LATER , A  FRIEND OF MINE WHOM I HAD GONE TO SHOOL WITH , AND HAD SPENT MANY WEEK ENDS AT HER HOUSE , HER BROTHER WAS DRIVING ON 25 SOUTH BY THIS OLD PLACE GOING TOWARD GREENWOOD , HE CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN A WOMAN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FLAGING HIM DOWN , HE SAID SHE WAS BENT OVER HOLDING HER STOMACH AND LOOK AS IF SHE WAS BLEEDING . HE SAID HE STOPPED AND GOT OUT AND SHE TOLD HIM SHE HAD BEEN SHOT AND ASKED IF HE WOULD TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL . HE PUT HER IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS CAR LAYED HER DOWN AND OUT THE  FLASHERS ON AND DROVE AS FAST AS HE COULD THE HOPITAL WAS ABOUT 20 MINUNITS AWAY . HE SAID HE KEPT TALKING TO HER TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS ALRIGHT , AND SHE WAS TALKING BACK TO HIM  AS HE GOT TO THE TURN OFF TO PULL INTO THE ER , HE TURNED TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE TO HER AND SHE WAS GONE . HE WASNT STABLE AT THIS POINT , REALLY UPSET HE WONDERED INTO THE HOSPITAL AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED . HE WENT BACK HOME AFTER SOME ONE CALLED HIS FAMILY TO DRIVE HIM , HE WASNT ABLE TO DRIVE . A FEW WEEKS LATER HE ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A MENTAL BREAK DOWN . THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME , I DIDNT SEE IT BUT I KNOW ITHAPPENEDTO HIM AND HE STILL TALKS ABOUT IT TODAY HE IS 58 YEARS OLD AND OWNS A LOCAL CAFE IN TOWN .
