A CASE THAT WAS NOT PLUM.

The biggest little law suit in
town for long time was held in
Justice Fiynn's Cour, Last Thurs
day. The small one-story Temple
OF Justice was jam ned like sar-
dimes in box, and then the crowd
couldn't near all get in. The suit
Was one for spite and revenge he
tween Lloyd Plum aud Andy jack
son, (not "Old Hickory" as he ia
dead.) About month ago the
latter had the former arrested for
stealing chickens, and he was fined
pretty heavy, aud so to get even
with Jackson, he trumped up an
account against him and sued him
on it.
About half the mountain were
here as witnesses, and four of the
best lawyers in town engaged
Brown & Hyde on one side and
Crogan and Fortney on the otLer.
The trial lasted all day and till bed
time at night, aud finally showed
up that there was nothing in it ex-
cept lot Of costs, but as Plum
isn't worth anything, that made no
difference to him. The Justice,
after patiently wading through the
whole mass of conflicting tOmmyrot,
decided IN favor of the defendant
and gave jackson judgment for
sl.O9 and Plum to pay all the
costs, so his scheme for getting
even didn't pan out very we'll.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
Important Proceedings of the Town

The Graham Drug Store was
granted drug lic nse for another
year. and same issued upon pay
msnt of the fee. $40.
The matter of hotel license was
discussed, and it was decided not
to charge them any. as so many
people in town were keeping board
ers without license. it was hardly
right to compel the hotels to pay
any fee.
Friday afternoon the town Off :
GERS went over all the streets Of the
town and measured The sidewalks,
to decide and contract in regard to
the stone walks.
A special session of the Council
was held Monday night to vote ON
