St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1901-11-30

Handsome Mr.. Brown,

That Tommy was an awkward youth
'Twould be folly to deny;
Girls gave him the laugh, forsooth,
Whenever he passed by.
But at the age of twenty -nine,
After years of weary toll,
He as social light did shine
Young Thomas had struck oil.
And now the village maids discreet,
Who once turned Tommy down,
Sigh and say: ssOh, amt he sweet
That handsome Mr.. Brown!"

VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS.

Col. j. G. Clark on one of those
rainy afternoons last week: This is
just the kind OF night for wolves.
They like such nights in which to do
their proving. They were very
plentiful round about my boyhood's
home, and on such night a. this you
could hear the pesky brutes barking
all night long. They would gather
together in packs and do their torag-
ing and some farmer would usually
miss live stock TO a greater or less
quantity next morning. Our stock
i'll those days was more on the de-
feusiye side. Cattle would get in a
group with their heads facing the
pack and would tear wolf to pieces
with their horns. The calves would
seek shelter in the center OF the herd
as if by instinct. Our hogs IN those
DAYS were not marketed until they
were three or four years old and would
grow tusbes three inches long or long
er with which they fought iiercely
and it was dangerous business for a
wolf or dog to fool around them very
much. Sheep were the least protect

IOWA COUNTY COURT.
Fall Term Opens at Dodgeville
Before Judge Clementson.

Judge Clementson and Reporter Or
ton went to Dodgeville Monday morn
ing to be present at the opening 81 the
regular fall term Of circuit court for
Iowa county.
A number Of cases are cited for
trial Of more than ordinary impor-
lance, probably the most prominent
being the civil action brought by j.
p. Smoker Of Dodgeyille against joel
Whitman Of the same city and Atty.
Plat Whitman. his son. OF Boscobel
for libel. The case is an outcome OF
the county judgeship fight in Iowa
county Of last spring. S1r. Smelker
was the Republican aspirant for the
office Of county judge while Aldro
Jencks was his opponent as an indie
pendent candidate. Joel Whitman IS
staunch Republican but did not fav-
or Smokers candidacy, working
against him instead on account of
political feud Of a few years standing.
and in this be was assisted By his son
Plat, an attorney Of Boscobel
Smoker was defeated in his aspira-
tions and now seeks the gore 81 his
opponents on every hand. State
ments made concerning him BIZ the
Whitmans he considers libelous aud
viii endeavor to have punishment
melted out to them in the courts.
The legal talent employed by both
parties assures warm contest, Burr
w. Jones OF Madison having been re-
tanned BIZ the plaintiff and John NJ.
DIN, also Of the capital city, being
counsel for the defendants.
A case Of more local importance to
be tried at this term is that of W j.
Dyer OF this city IS. Mclaughlin
Bros. horse importers of Columbus
Ohio. Attorneys W. j. Brennan and
Geo b CIementson are counsel for me
defendants.
