Jefferson Burleson, one of Washing
ton County's most substantial farmers,
has gone into the market house bust
ness, and proposes to furnish the people
of Jonesboro fresh meat twice a week,
cut and delivered at their doors cheaper
than it has heretofore been furnished.
Give him a trial order.
A former JOnesboro girl, when here
one of the f~airest, noblest, best, will
soon wed a professor. So run the af-
fairs of life. If the Jonesboro boys are
too dull to take advantage of their OPP
portunities they deserve the fast APP
preaching shadow of old bachelorhood
which now are lowering about many
of them. When you guess who she is
come and tell me.
We regret to learn that after two
months trial the Planters House has
been unable to meet actual expenses,
and was forced to close or discontinue
the 20 cent rate to country patrons. Be-
ginning August 20, a uniform rate of
90 cents a meal went into effect and it
is hoped the patronage at this rate will
meet expenses. If it does not Jonesboro
will be without a hotel for the first time
in n hundred years. The pressure
seems to have struck hotels a severe
blow in the withdrawal of drummers
from the road.
This case excited great interest
throughout the county, the peculiari.
ties of the case and the magnitude of
the theft being of such a nature as to
attract the attention of the public. The
gentleman to whom Upton traded one
of the mules in Kentucky was present
and testified to the identity of the pris-
one and the transaction between them.
Throughout the trial the court room
was packed with eager spectators to
listen to the testimony and speeches of
the attorneys. Judge S.. j. kirkpatrick
represented the defendant and Attorney
General Campbell aided by Judge New
ton Hacker represented the State. Both
sides were skillfully handled. The
speech for the defense by Judge Kirk
patrick deserves special mention, while
the Judge had little ground upon which
to fight, he made a magnificent strug-
gle for the prisoner. While the public
felt that he was on the wrong side, they
could not but admire the zeal, interest
and skill he evinced in conducting his
side of the case. The speeches of Judge
Hacker and Attorney General Campbell
were strong and well put carrying with
them the force requisite to convince
the jury that Upton was guilty as
charged in the indictment. Mr.. Cum
mings is jubilant over the verdict of
the jury and with him the public say
amen. Had he been released Sheriff
Hawkins had in his pocket a warrant
charging the prisoner with the murder
of a ven officer in North Carolina.
Upton is about 81 years of age and if
arrested on this charge at the expira-
ton of the present sentence will hang
or spend the remainder of his days in
a State prison.
