This quiet little village has had sensa-
ton. railroad conductor few mornings
since found "stalwart" darkey concealed
in a freight car, and made an affidavit
before our Lord Mayor that the said "stal-
wart" had broken into the car, probably
for the purpose of robbery.
His Honor to prisoner. GLOW came
you in that car"
Prisoner. 81 was sick at jackson and
seeing tho car on the track got in, lay
down adj went to Sleep
His Honor. STEALING ride, oh 2"
Prisoner. ''No sab; didn't want TO go
any where"
His Honor. "Do you belong at Jackson2'
Prisoner ''No sab, / belong at Pa
ducah."
His Honor. "How came you here"
Prisoner. 81 came down the river on a
a steamboat, got off at Memphis, and -"
Whew a sick 'nik ger" right from Mem
phis. If that fiery devil Miss Helen
Blaz, had dropped in among us the con-
sternation would not have been greater.
What to do with the prisoner was the
great absorbing question, eagerly discussed
at every corner. He was in legal custody,
and could not be discharged but by due
process of law, or a withdrawal of the
complaint.
The Geographic operator saw germs
as big as horse flies sweeping around like
Yellow Jackets. They do say he kept the
wires red hot for an hour or more. Ben.
f. a person of approved veracity-never
suspected even of exaggeration says he
melted the wires and set the telegraph poles
ON fire."
At last the welcome message was received,

panic subsidized

Mayors Court.

His Honor the Mayor held levee on
Tuesday morning, and received four visi-
tors, who contributed 81 so and costs,
each, for the benefit of the city exchequer.
The charge against these gentleman was
being drunk, fighting and disturbing the
peace generally.
On Thursday morning, one poor unfortu-
nate d. d. made his appearance at the tenn
pie, and after recievinga short lecture from
His Honor, was given the privilege of leav-
ing the city or working on the streets. He
chose the former plan and shook the dust
of the city from his feet, at once.
VIM. Simpson, colored youth about
IL years old, was before His Honor on
Friday morning charged with stealing gla-
ziers diamonds from Mr.. Rob't Bradley.
The Mayor gave him 1926 and costs, or 80
days in Jail. William now views the beau
ties of nature through the bars.

ANOTHER STORY OF LINCOLN While
Judge Logan of Springfield, ILL.,, was Lin
coins partner, two farmers who had mis-
understanding respecting horse trade,
went to law. By mutual consent the part
ners in law became antagonists in the case.
On the day of the trial Mr.. Logan, having
bought new shirt open in the back, with
huge standing collar, dressed himself in ex
treme haste and put on the shirt with the
bosom at the back, linen coat, concealing
the blunder. He dazzled the jury with his
knowledge of ''horse points," and as the
day was sultry took off his coat and summed
up in his shirt sleeves. Lincoln, sitting be-
hind him, took in the situation, and when
his turn came remarked to the jury: Seen
tlemen, Mr.. Logan has been trying for over
an hour to make you believe that he knows
more about horse than these honest old
farmers who are witnesses he has quoted
largely flom his horse DOCTOR and now,
gentlemen, submit to you (here he lifted
Logan out of his chair and turned him with
his back to the jury and the crowd, at the
same time Tipping up the enormous stand
ing collsr), what dependence can you place
on his horse knowledge when he has not
sense enough to put on his shirt ?" The
roars of laughter that greeted this exhibi-
ton, and the verdict that Lincoln got soon
after, gave Logan permanent prejudice
against Blossom shirts y

Abingdon (Vt) Standard.

Two Illicit distillers tried at this term of
the United States Court we're soldiers in
tho war. One Joe Lewis by name a noted
moonshiner, of North Carolina, was in the
Confederate army; the other Horny Wild
ner, OF this county, was Union soldier.
While in prison, awaiting trial, they in
dulged in many political discussions over
the ''unpleasantness. Col. John. Q. Sum
mers was employed as counsel in both cases.
When the sentences were being passed,
Wildner requested the Col. to call attention
of tho Judge to the fact that he had been a
true and faithful Union soldier, which was
done. The Judge replied that for that
reason he should have been n better citi>
zen,' and sentenced him to the Pententiary
for one year. Lewis, the more notorious
of the two, got off with one month in jail
Turning to Lewis Wildner said, 81 don't
seq why he sent me to the Pententiary and
not you "That was because you was
id Yankee" replied Lewis, land he
ought to hung you fort" All round joined
in good laugh.
