William Chestnut Of Rusbyllle
township, was adjudged insane Tues
day by jury, Ga April 16, he went
to the postoiiice with a loaded gun in
his hand and demanded letter from
Mckinley. The postmaster, Mr. Deal,
told him that there was no letter for
him, and with the assistance of Ohas.
GUAM took the gun from him. This
act with several others of similar
nature were shown up by Witnesses
He seems to be crazy on religion and
the pop party, and looked for a letter
from Mckinley to help him out Of
trouble. The case ia sad one as the
man has a wife and seven children
Some years ago he was injured on the
head, from the effects of which injury
he has never fully recovered.

The next term oF'uo6rt wffEiprob-

legal battles this county EhaA seen for
some time The State ys, Farley will

fend. Each party u. getting. ready
to put up the best, fgRt possible:
W. H. Nelson, editor Of tie Smith
County Pioneer, and Sandy Barton Of
the Kirwin Globe, have been appoint.
ed postmasters Of their home towns.
We most heartily congratulate both
Of these gentlemen. They have lab
ored long for their party, and we
hope their rewards will be pleasant
and profitable. -,
When the Methodist, who votes
the republican ticket, reads the at
tacks upon their choir, made by the
Dispatch, and in the same issue reads
the assaults made on the peoples
party by the same organ, we hope he
will weigh the articles with the same
pair Of balances.
The Methodists have had such
good success in raising money for
their new parsonage that work will
be commenced at once. The new
building will be 1920 with fourteen
foot walls, will have five rooms, and
will cost, estimated, $4,000.
Judging from the display of new
bonnets last Sunday the milllners Of
this city must have done a rushing
business The prevailing style seems
to be, big straw stack with all the
different colored ribbons and flowers
that the thing will hold.
Gosh, won't we pops have a pud-
din with the republican newspapers
when the postotfices get filed with
the editors. An offensive partisan
newspaper ami a postofice will hard
ly 60 together. The boys will be
meeker than was old Moses.
