Paris Post: Lewis Stunson, of
Weakley county, drank too much Mi
Ian gin, and went to Mckenzie with
too much drummer, named Brown.
Brown took a room for him next TO
his own, and put him to bed. In
performing this delicate operation he
allowed Sll0 Of Stunsrn's money TO
get into his own pocket book. Lewis
wanted air after Brown left the room,
and sat in the window to get ii. He
fell out fifteen feet, on pile of bricks,
but the fall did not kill him, although
it came near driving his legs into the

At a meeting of the board of Mays
or and Aldermen held Saturday night
an ordinance was passed to compel all
property holders to repair the pave>
ments in front of their premises. This
is very wise in the new board, and
they should receive the thanks of all
pedestrians for it. We would mildly
suggest to theowners ofwhat is known
as Harrison's corner that the pavement
in front Of that building is sadly out of
repair. OGe runs risk in walking
along there now.
When Sheriff Arnold, of Gibson
county, was here to answer to the
charge. of contempt of court. last week,
he left with the understanding that
proceedings were to be withdrawn if
he produced by Monday. This he
failed to dc, but came up on Wedaes-
day, accompanied by counsel, and not

mold was acting under the advice of
certain attorneys at Trenton, this
looked somewhat like an attempt on
their part to buIl-doze this judicial
circuit. Accordingly, Judge Alvin
Hawkins, who is in some manner con-

Arnold and his counsel had appeared

Hawkins persisted in his motion, and
Judge Alden finally bound Sheriff Ar
mold in the sum of $3.50 for his APP

Hill andiNeil as securities.
LATER. Judge yesterday fin
ed Mr. Arnold one, hundred dollars
and sentenced him TO Jail, from which
