Circuit Court is in session-Judgc j.
j. Williams presiding.
Oh, Vennor these weather prognosti-
Gators going to "let up?
Rumor says many houses are to be
built in Winchester this year.
Our carpenters, when the weather
permits, do driripg business.
Winchester is the most fortunate
town in the State in the matter of fires.
Aha We thought this running"
business would get somebody into trou-
bic.
Now is the time to kill OF your sur
plus stock Of cats. ~ stitch in time

Spring chickens will soon be in de-

There are fifteen transient boardcrs
in the County Jail. Some Of them are
making arrangements for regular board
at Nashville.
The Honorable County Court trans
acted all its business last Monday, in
order to give Circuit Court possession Of
the Courtroom.
Trce-planting has been extensively in
Obliged in by our people this year. We
are glad to note this. Nothing adds so
much to the beauty ola town as shade
trees.
Shake not your CORY locks at us

never call Il mans love for fishing
II "penclmt for piscatorial amusement"
No, sir!
Among the lawyers from abroad at
tending Circuit Court, we notice the IA
cctious "Countrymail," ", L. Colyar,
who ranks second to no Young man in
the profession.
The horsc,jockeys haven't been doing

The genial Charlie Shivcrs is with us
this week. We never met Charlie but
once. lie amt ncighborIy with us,
somehow. Does "distance lend en-
chantment," Charlie
a certain "fellow" told us on the
street, the other day, that we had bet
ter not say anything in our column.
Don't scare yourself, honey; We alIudc
only to respectable people.
Somctimes-oftcn, in iact-wc have
business transactions with our county
officers, and their promptness and gen
tlemanly bearing leads us to say that
better officers would be hard to find.
1t seems that Madame Rumor was
mistaken in regard to the marriages
soon to come off in Winchester. If Gu
pid lies dormant much longer we will
write an obituary notice and have his
funeral preached.
We adopted this column four years
ago, and so far we have heard of but
two persons who objected to it. They
are of the class who would sniff at a nice
beefsteak in public and cat polecat with
grec,!iness in private.
We are sorry to note that some of the
bows in town are getting "too big for
their brooches" But they will come
down to their natural size after awhile.
All wasps are bigger when they are first
Matched than they ever are afterward.
To say VIC regret to chronicle that
LAWYER John ii. Martin has been quite
sick at his home, near Hunts Station,
for several weeks, is putting it mildly.
John il a genial, warm-heartcd, splcn.
