new sidewalks and electric lights
without bonding the town or be
able to reduce he levy this year.
The new Town Sergeant entered
on the duties OF his Office last week,
and the first two or three DAYS ev-
erything was very quiet. Thurs
day night while the council was IN
session and the Police in attend

ing and dlsorderly conduct. The
next morning. there was matinee
at the Mayors Office and the SER
geant WAS busy notifying the boys
to attend. They came in promptly
and lined up before His Honor,
like an old fashioned spelling class
in country school. Charley
Childs. Hoy Jackson. Ben Bower
master. Wilson Martin and Alton
jackson were anxious TO confess
and get OF easy, which they did,
one dollar and costs. and there WIS
no trial the costs didn't amount
to much. Charley Smith declined
to plead gully and stood trial.
The evidence did not convict him
and he got off EASY.
Saturday afternoon John Gidley
was out trading horses. cows and
C., and got 1925 to boot in the
coin Of the realm This was more
prosperity than John could stand
at one time and he at once an
nouced his intention Of going mp
town and getting drunk. Shortly
afterw wards he rode through town
with blood in his eye, hunting
trouble. He espied the new Town
Sergeant aud concluded To test his
nerve. That official advised him
to go home and keep quiet, bot
John was carrying heavy load
and needed help and in about two
minutes the Sergeant had him by
the neck yanking him around to
the Mayors Office. He swore, and
stormed and threatened and want
ed to whip every hing in sight and
finally landed in Jail. Dan Jack
son came along and rs John was
too hot for trial then anyhow, he
was ordered To the cooler. He was
determined not to go and tried to
lay down but selected bad place.

the slush was shoe top deep. At

getting some of the ice water down

After being safely lodged in dur

him up till Monday morning at 10
clock at which time he was TO

quarters. However. on Sunday his
wife begged so hard that Junior
Brown bailed him out and long te.

come IN and fessed up aud paid up
and apologized for his bad conduct.
The Mayor fined him $40 and

Names of New Ships

The names of Hamilton and ''Jef-

steamships now building at Chester, Pa,
for the Old Dominion Line, which are
expected to be in commission late in the
year. In this decision the directors of
the company have departed from their
custom of using geographical names, as
it has seemed appropriate at this time to
adopt the names of two of the greatest
statesmen the country has produced,
further representing, as they do, both
New York and Virginia, SO far as their
fame can be localized.
