Messrs Ed. Coker, Henry Wood

The foul prosecution against Hon.

at Wellman last week proved to be 6
hoax and he was acquitted by jury.
Hon. j. N. Yawn, of Bogue Chitto, fol
the defense distinguished himself as
more than peer of some older mem
bers of the bar.
Justice Summers had the good luck
to celebrate marriage rites for two
couples last week-viz: Mr.. Glen

Wellman, and Mr.. Cicero Boyte and
Miss Jennie Russell, of Denver. We
hope these young people may live as
happy as they look to US.
Mr.. J. G. Nation has just returned

he went for horse that strayed from
him last March. He found and
brought back his animal and learned
of another animal that went into the
settlement there with his. He de-
scribes it as a bluero or iron gray
filly, possibly 21a years old. The
owner had better look after it or it

Some scarlet fever here, but not bad
in its results.
Mr.. Frank, Brent the clerk in the

James Yawn, of Bogue Chitto, made
big mark for himself here last week
as lawyer.
Mrs. Scutt and daughter have re-
turned from the North, where they
have been visiting for sometime.
Cotton is going in fast in these
parts. 4 great many saw mill hands
talk of growing cotton next year.
Married-Mr. Columbus Crane to
Miss Bernelia Pitman. The young
people have the best wishes of their
friends.
The sad news reached here that one
of Brother j. A. Scarborough sons
got his arm crushed by the train OF the
X. L. T. |. Co.
We have been asked not to bother
that yellow jackets nest as it is pro,
lection to blind tigers. They say that
they can put their bottles by that nest
at night and no one will go about the
place. Wonder what brother Jeems
was looking for when he found the
nest?
In Chrismans argument here he
said don't "take shot guns to enforce
the law, but shoot them with sawdust.
That's what we have been peppering
"Jeems" with long time, helped out
occasionally with load of dry peas
from BILLY" but they make no I'M
