fendaDt in the case of A. J. Mowry vs.M.
ID. l.. Nowry administrators on the estate
of Van Buren, Mowry and J. j. Appelly
against the same to the tax assessed in
Smithheld In 1892, 1893 and in 1894. Air.
Mowry the defendant, urged that there
was no legal tax meeting in the first year
because there was no legal canvass OF the
lists and maintained in the other years
that the list OF parties taxed was not
properly made, nor was the division of
real and personal property properly made.
The court refused to consider the legal
ity Of the meeting in 1892, holding that 1t
could not 60 into all the details OF the
meeting of the board OF cenvassers.
MIR. Mowry acted as council for himself
and Judge Harris repressnted the town
authorities of smithnsld.
There were a num- Der of witnesses in
GLIDING the assessors, called in behalf Of
the two plaintiffs who have filled the
Office of tax collectors. The amounts of
the tax was about y35 in each year. The
work of the assessor was gone over to
show the assessment not to have been q
fair one.
The court withheld its decision and
counsel for the town was ssked to submit
q brief on certain points raised by Attor-
ney Nowry in behalf Of tho estate he
represented.
Attorney Mowry wished to ask assessor
Mowry II he taxed himself for any per-
sonal property but the court would not

consider certain certified copies of the
tax list that were printed and in Attor-
ney Mowry's possession.

The Copiah Signal says: "Our jury

criminal case he is asked whether he
has formed or expressed an opinion In

sense enough forms an opinion as soon
as he hears the circumstances OF

would not try the case on its merits
when both sides are presented. VIZ
all know that our juries are not made
up OF our best citizens. Something
must be done or mob law,will rule the

about mob law isn't worth anything

FOR THE CLERGY AND SOME OTHERS.


We well remember the story about the young
clergyman who had determiped to resign his pulpit
because he was 50 tormented BY "Old Deacon
JONES'" but after being advised by On aged and ex
perienced brother that he would find "Old deacon
Jones" in every church, concluded to remain.
To oil clergymen We commend the following lit
tie poem:
PEOPLE WILL TALK.
You may get through the world, but twill be very
slow,
II you listen to sll that Is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted. and kept in q stew
For meddlesome tongues must have somthing to do
And peop,e IN talk.
II quiet and modest, you'll have 1t presumed
That your humble position is only assumed
You're q wolf in sleeps clothing, or else you're Z
But don't get excited-keep perfectly cool
For people will talk.
And then, IL you show the least boldness Of heart
Or slight inclination to take your swn part,
They will call you an upstart, conceited and vain
But keep straight ahead-dont stop to explain
COI peopc WIZ to'A.
II fthreadbare your dress, old fashioued your hat
Some one will surely take notice ofthat,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your way
But don't get excited, whatever they cay
For people win talk.
n you dress In the fashion don't think 70 escape,
For they criticise then In different shape:
You're ahead Of your means or your tailor's un
paid.
But mind your own business there's naught to b.
made
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as yos please;
For your mind, II you have one, will then be a
ease.
OF course you will meet with all sorts OF abuse;
But don't think to stop them-it amt any use
For people will talk.

Nothing Is more disgusting than to
hear a man who has been South six
months or a year talk about how the
Southern people do and what they
ought to do. People who are unable
to make living North come here and
at once 90 to talking about the want
of energy and get up Of the Southern
people. That great energetic, thrifty
and money making North sends an
army Of tramps South every year, but
the South never sends a tramp to
them. Go to Our cities and ninety
niue out OF every hundred Of the beg
gars you see came here from the
North. II the South Is 40 far behind

Judge wellhonse n called the apple

600 apple trees, and are located In the
counties Of Leavcnworth, Miami and
Usage. In thirteen years lie has pick.

Ing apple trees Is his passion, just as
gambling is the passion Of some men
and raising fast horses the passion Of
others.
II take more delight In planting ap.
pie trees and seeing them grow" said
he to Times correspondent, "than In

precedence, as to fav0rite varieties, Is
given to Ben Davis, Of which he has
$50 acres; Missouri Pippin, $50 acres;

sas, but to all citizens who have any
interest in the product adapted to the
State:
I'm planting apple trees use land Id
as good a state Of cultivation as for
other crops. Make the rows north to
south, thirty-twO feet apart, by tura-
ing q straight plow furrow to the
west and another to the east, say
twenty inches from the first; the mid
die strip thus left is thrown out by
another round with the plOw, the last
furrow being about ten inches deep.
In the bottom Of this dead furrow,
running listing plow With subs0ils
ing attachment and tlien cross-mark-
ing with any device to indicate the
location for the trees, sixteen feet
apart in the rows, completes the pre-
paration OF the ground.
Thrifty two-year-old trees are con-
sidered best, although those a year
older are not Objectionable"
