A LAWYER AND FARMER, TOO.
Mistakes to Which the Late PhiIe-

times Led.
From the New Yorl

JUS LIpScomDs appearance some
times Led.
From the New York Sun.
Cumberland, Md, May 13.-Philetus Lips
comb, an old resident of Tucker county.
West Virginia, died few days ago. He
was lawyer as well as a farmer and not
mfrequently left the farm to try a case
in court. This led sometimes to Iudicrous
mistakes.
Once a finely dressed and polished
stranger dropped into Tucker county and
swindled some of the citizens. He was
arrested and indicted and his trial came
on. He employed Lipscomb as his attor-
ney, and by good management was ac-
quilted in two cases. He accordingly had
great respect for Lipscomb's ability as a
lawyer, and when some months after he
got into a similar trouble in Virginia he
sent for Mr.. Lipscomb to come and de-
fend him.
The case was called and two strangers
appeared before the bar and the dignined
old Virginia judge. One of them had
the appearance of a farmer, with grizzly
hair and unkempt beard. BY his side
sat smooth-looking Individual a typical
Yankee lawyer in appearance, with a bold
classic face. When the case was called
the judge inquired whether the defense
was ready or had any statement TO make
The bewhiskered Individual arose and
started 10 make a statement. when the dir
mined judge, in his seVerest tones. ordered
him TO sit down. He again incurred
whether the defendant had ANYTHING 20
say or was ready for trial Again the
rebuked stranger arose and began 10 adj
dress the court, bur the Judge more stern
ly than before ordered him 20 take lis
seat. With as good grace as possible the
order was obeyed. When the Judge nut
the question the third time and the same
individual arose again and began MAX
ing statement, the judges patience was
exhausted and he fairly roared: "sit down
you scoundrel! and let your counsel speak
for you"
One of the attorneys at the bar who
saw the error the judge had made. arose
and in suave manner, said: your
honor / see. like myself, cannot see as
well without glasses as he could i'm the
days gone by, consequently he did not
recognize Col Lipscomb. the celebrated
farmer lawyer from our sister common
wealth beyound the mountains"
The judge appreciated the situation in
stantly, saw that he had mistaken the
couHsSl Ior the prisoner, and placing Mis-
spectacles on with great elaboration. drew
himself up 10 his full hight and again
looking across the bar, said:
"Ah l see, sheriff, we will take re-
cess until after dinner" although Il was
scarce 10 o'clock in the morning. Then
coming down from the stand, he took Col
Lipscomb by the arm and the two saun-
tered off together to take a drink of old
Virginia apple toddy.
When court convened that afternoon the
trial came on, but in order to make
amends for the injustice he had done The
distinguished lawyer from the daughter

ings throughout the case to the prisoner,
or rather his attorney, and when the jury
brought IN their verdict and the seal was

1t will BE Set up at Once and

Many improvements Being Made in the
Water Supply of the Town-New
Reservoir Nearing Completion Old
Tanks Still. to BE Used Another
Reservoir viii be Built Later.
The Union Improvement Company
is working hard to get its water
plant into shape for the benefit OF
the public as soon as possible. The
reservoir is rapidly nearing compile
tion and when it is done the town
will have an abundant reserve of
water for all purposes and no matter
how large a fire may break out it
will have the means OF fighting it
successfully.
The filter for the new plant is
here and has been hauled TO the
pump station above town. 1t will
be installed shortly although the
work will be long and tedious one
on account of the size OF the ma
chinery and the difficulty in getting
it placed properly. A representa-
tive of the company which makes
the filters will be here in few days
and he will go to work at once get
ting it in position. Il will have
capacity large enough to filter all
the water that can possibly be used
here and the town will be assured
of bountiful supply of pure fresh
water at all times.
This is thing that we have long
been in need Of and the company is
determined to meet the needs of the
people as they should be met.
When the new reservoir is connect
ed with the water pipes over town
there will be a pressure sufficient to
throw the water over any building
in the town. The feed pipes will
send in great supply of water and
will keep the pipes filled at all
times.
The old tanks will be used for the
upper end Of town and later another
reservoir may be built on the hill
to the north Of the one now occupied
by the tanks For the present how
ever the tanks that are now in use
together with the new reservoir will
be all that is needed.
