ued at $40. For this trespass and whole
sale theft of wood Brockett claimed

which he took from Walter Haines one

the police of Bridgeport kept and Koch
anowski brought suit against the super

THE supreme court of Tennessee
has decided against the American
Tobacco Co., in a case brought to test
the law prohibiting the sale of ciga-
rettes in that state. We ought to at
once have the same law passed in this
state Some years ago there was a
good law passed taxing them out Of
existence but our supreme court
knocked it out. The Tennessee law
may be one that will stand and we
hope to see it enacted in the state.

THE Sentiment of the town is over
whelmingly in favor of taking steps
toward opening park. The commit
tee Of twenty can begin the move by
applying the money in their hands to
the purchase Of the land indicated.
The idea of using the money to erect
statue to Senator Wiley is good
enough but the amount is too small
for such a purpose. The place must
do that later but at least ten times
the amount now available must be
raised for it. A paltry three hundred
dollars wouldn't build the foundation
for memorial such as he deserves.
If you don't believe in Expansion
call at Smiths and be convinced that
they do. They are constantly expand
ing their stock and bargains in all
lines of their holiday stock later.
YOUR money will be refunded every

AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS.
Man Sentenced to Penitentiary For
Almost Forgotten Crime.

Henry V. Cunningham was tried
at the present term of the Pendleton
circuit court for robbery that he
committed sixteen years ago and
was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary as a result OF the trial
which has attracted wide attention
owing to the lapse of time that has
taken place since the crime was
committed. At the time that the
crime was committed Joshua Day
was robbed of 81, 525 one night while
he slept The thief entered the house
and carried away his trousers which
contained the money.
Subsequent events occurring dur
ing the lapse of years fastened the
robbery on Cunningham and after
suspicion had been directed towards
him he was arrested and as result
of the trial was sentenced as stated
above In the meanwhile he had
moved several times and had accum-
ulated a considerable fortune which
had for It's base the money that he
had stolen from his neighbor while
the latter slumbered and slept. 1t
is believed that this is the longest
time on record in the state elapsing
between the commission of an of
Tense of this kind and the punish
ment for it.
Clay Day of the University law
class is son of the man who was
robbed.
Another trial took place at the
same term of court that is quite in
teresting. A worshipper at one OF
the chuches in Pendleton sang too
loud for some of the others and they
indicted him for disturbing religious
worship. At the trial he was cleared
of any intentional wrong doing and
told to go and sing no more. A sim
liar ruling around here might do
great deal of greatly needed good.
