Carrollton who attended court at Lexing-
ton came home Saturday night. They all
speak in the highest terms of the treat
accorded them by the court and
officials and people generally OF that
hospitable city. Every courtesy was
extended them by the people and they
were made to feel at home in fifteen
minutes after reaching there. They
speak especially favorably of Judge
RylaD3 and his manner of conducting his
court, and the circuit clerk and sheriff for
their kindness. The case of Chas. Jacobs,
in whom they are all interested, was
called for trial Friday afternoon and left
with the jury Saturday afternoon about
O'Clock. 1t only required five min
utes for them to bring in a verdict of
mot guilty. The jury looked at the

Liberty in the other case-that it was a
plain case of persecution by the firm
pretending to prosecute him for making
false representation to them"
