AT the July term of the COUNTY
Court, 1898, about 20 witnesses were
sent before the grand jury to testify
as to the Illegal sale of liquor in this
district. All swore they had bought
none with the exception of Handy
Gill. Upon his evidence an irdict-
ment was found against James j.
Thomas. Under an act of the Leg
lSlature 1S97-1s9S a copy of this
indictment was certified and de-
llvered by the clerk of the court to
Il. II. Marsh, then Justice of the
Peace. This was done despite the
fact that there was resident
Justice in the Villages. Roland
Hall. Nothing more was heard of
the matter for long time. When
Mr.. Marsh went out of office. in the
spring of 'e9, the papers were re-
turned to the clerks office. Some
time ago under the direction of the
court they went into the hands of
+. w. Eichelberger. Such is the
history of the case that came up for
trial on last Thursday morning before
MIR. Eichelberger. Mr.. Gill was the
only witness. lie testified in "A
straightforward manner. He had not
of his own volition brought charges
against Mr.. Thomas but had been
summoned before the grand jury and
of course had to tell the truth. lie
deserves great credit. The Justice
fined Thomas $50 and costs. An
appeal was taken and Thomas en-
tered into bond, with Joseph w.
Anderson as security. Under all
the circumstances connected with
this case the people hope for II speedy
trial.
The people of this place regretted
to hear of the death of young Self
and Holiday at Bells Store. We
are Informed that they were young
men of great promise.
The Board of Supervisors are

house. After meeting on last Satur-
day two contractors were before them

day of September to receive sealed
bids, same to be send to the clerk of

ton was made up, originally, of the
best strains from all the eastern and
southern states, and the descendants
OF these people are the ones who are
leading in education, politics and
material development. There is a
little Northern capital there, too.

her lone and friendless condition. On
Sunday, October her child. boy, was
born. She remained at the hospital about
three weeks, then with her child returned

efforts that have been made to clear up
the mystery it remains as deep as ever.
