A man named Calvin Neis came
to this city last week and began to
operate the we'll known petit gamb
ling device of pitching rings for
prizes. The gilt edge of novelty
having worn away before his arrival,
he did not seem to be making
enough to pay state. county and
city license, and certainly was n OF
coming money fast enough to in
duce him, knowingly, to violate the
gaming laws IN open daylight just
outside the court yard while circuit
court is in session. He evidently
thought that having secured Ii
cense of state, county and corpora
ton, he had right to play his lit
tie game. The grand jury evident
ly entertained other views, and Fri
day q true bill was found against
him and in default of bail he was
committed 10 Jail. The incident
caused good deal of comment, and
the unanimous conclusion was that
it is an outrageous imposition for
the state to license the violation of
statute and still punish a man
who paid for the privilege oil break
ing the law. Some idle vaporing
about taking the prisoner out of
custody by force was INDUCED in
by some of the more indignant citi-
zens. This, however, was not seri-
susly contemplated, as it is equiva-
lent to forfeiting the unexpired
term of ones lease of life to attempt
to take q prisoner from the custody
of our sheriff and jailor. Sympa-
thy for the prisoner was universal,
for be evidently thought his
business legalized by his license,
and he was released late in the af-
ternoon, the encouragement enter
ing nolls pros. and the clerks re-
funding fees where it could be done
without violating law.

Fruit Show.

Nothing has occurred of more
interest to the Giles county farm
ers than the discussion of apples
and the fruit show to be given I'M
der the auspices of the farmers asso-
citation at the court house, Saturday,
April 10, at 10 q. M. It is said that
there have been fruit trees enough
sold in Giles county since the war
to set so trees to every acre of
cleared land In the county and yet
it is asserted that not one farmer in
so has any apples on hand now for
the use of his family and we are
importing apples from the north.
Every farmer In the county should
attend this apple meetings and learn
the methods of those who are sue
cessful. Since Mother Eve ate the
apple she has never had child
that did not love apples. Nothing
is so universal as the love of APP
pies. No where on earth can this
universal love for the apple be graf
fled more easily than in Middle
Tennessee and none need excel
Giles county in promology. Then
attend the fruit show and apple
discussion. Come prepared to com
pete for the generous premiums Of
fered and 10 take part in dissema
mating useful information on this
important subject-apples.
The show will sbe held in the
county court room. All fruit men
are cordially invited to display
fruit. But only Giles comfy fruit
will compete for premiums. Fruit
should be entered by IL a. m. and
must be entered in the name OF
the grower and none other. Three
to five apples will constitute plate.
The judges of the fruit will be ap
pointed by the president out of the
best fruit men present who havn no
exhibitions. The committee on
the fruit show will meet punctual-
ly 10 a. m. at the court house and
perfect arrangements for the fruit
chow and arrange ether premiums
they may obtain than those in the
puOilSuCO llSb. ne IOlIOWiuS aIG
the premiums to date:
Capt. j. E. Alternately, SIS In nur-
sery stock, (fall delivery fer best

Capt. j. w. Morton of Nashville
who possibly has more apple expe-
rience than any poiDologist in the
south, has kindly consented to adj
dress the association on the occa-
sion. To the lover of the apple
this address will be n rare treat.
Others have been written to out
side the county who will be there
and will give US their experience.
Then Giles county has her own
fruit men who have given the cOun
ty reputation for fine fruit, CO.
extensive with the south and con-
siderable section north. Every
man who wants to hear something
good about the apple should hear

are appealed to, to bring in their
