Cut and Shoot

The Montgomery County town was named after a fight in 1912. A preacher was invited to hold a meeting at the town’s Community House, according to the city’s website. But some said he visited saloons and went dancing. Folks were enraged, splitting the town into two sides – those who supported the preacher and those who didn’t. On the day of the meeting, opponents, armed with guns, locked the doors. The commotion scared a kid. "I'm scared! I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" No one was hurt that day, tensions calmed, the preacher spoke outside the Community House -- and the 'Cut and Shoot' name stuck.
