built the town hall. She has also been
prominent in the Daughters OF the
Confederacy and has been accustomed
to bossing everything she was connect
ed with.
Mrs. Goodwin is little woman but
she would not be run over by Mrs.
Reynolds and gave good account OF
herself in the fight.
1t was with John Reynolds, son OF
Mrs. Reynolds, that Prof. Goodwin
alleged the misconduct of Miss Win
gate occurred.
The collapse OF the trial is familiar
to our readers. Goodwin has left

dying out somewhat now.
There had never been ANY occasion
to fear for the personal safety OF Good
win and some OF the other stories 10

few daysaago were stated to have
been exaggerated. All is quiet now
and no more outbreaks are expected.

Been Circulating Slight Founda-
ton of Truth for Some of Them
Men Most Interested Talk the Least
About it.
There have been numerous rumors
afioat about town regarding some
real estate deals on the west side.
One of them was to the effect that
the Union Utility company had
purchased land enough to increase
their holdings to | 100 acres in that
section. Another report was to the
effect that Mr.. Sturgiss was the
purchaser and other reports have
gwen Senator Elkins the credit for
having bought the property trans
ferred.
Every one who is interested is
very close mouthed about it while
those who haven't any thing to do
with it are ready to give news
paper man information on the sub
ject.
Some sales have been made IN That
section. They have been reported
in this paper Another farm or two
are under option. Among these is
the NJ. S. Garrison place.
The West Side Land Company
has not sold It's holdings in that
section to the parties engaged in
this big purchase and Mr.. Sturgiss
states that there have been no ne
gotiations with them. 1t was re-
ported thai these holdings had been
transferred.
When Mr.. Grant was asked about
the purchases and the plans in con
neetion with it he refused TO talk
for publication. He stated that he
knew nothing about the reports
which have been circulating
: Mr.. Sturgiss was asked about it
later and he stated that in few
DAYS he would have something to
tell about it.

breaking into the dwelling house OF
Harry Rees, in Pocahontas, and steal
ing money and watches. Williams and
Thompson were given two years each.
anu Moore.one year, in state prison.
1t seems that Moore. who is only II
years old, was led into the trouble by
Williams and.rhompson, and did the
stealing.
The facts, as brought in the trial, are
about as follows:
Richard Davis, an old friend of II.
z. Rees, Of Pocahontas. and Richard
Hunter, nom Scotland. reached Poca-
hontas on a late train. They were direct
from Europe At the depot they met
young Moore, of whom Davis inquired
for Harry Rees. Moore showed them
10 Rees's, saloon. There they all had
drinks, and met Williams and Thorn
pson, who. ia little while, called Moore
out and had talk. Thompson and
Moore arranged To rob the visitors.
Davis, his little son, and Hunter. by
special Invitation spent the night with
Rees. The three. Moore, williams and
/ Thompson. went to the residence of
Rees, and Moore went in and did the
robbing Williams claims that he had
nothing TO do with the plot and got
only S1.OO Of the money.
1t is understood that Williams and
Thompson will appeal from the decis.
ion Of the jury, and young Moore will
be sent to the Reformatory instead of
the pcnitcIhiary, as the now constitution
permits Persons over is years OF age
being sent there In this ease the Re

THE PARSON GETS AFTER EN-
Church Members Who Danced
During Xmas Repent in
Saccloth and Ashes

Rev. Mr. Brooks, the respected pas
tor Of the Colored Methodist church
here, is "a strict and jealous discipline
rian. He will not tolerate wrong doing
among his members if he knows it, and
he is as bcld as ne is strict. The
Christmas holidays brought trouble TO
pastor Brooks and his people Quite a
number of his flock werc tempted dur
ing festive occasions TO trip the light
fantastic, and otherwise transgress the
laws OF the church The fact that a
number Of members of thewhite church
es indulged in the same exercises, on
that the dancers did not cross their
feet, cut no figure with the pastor. The
offenders were drawn up last Monday
night. On Sunday night before, a red
hot sermon delivered in the church
gave timely warning OF what was com
ing. So, on Monday night they were
all there-old and young, big and little
those who danced just little .'two-
STEP" others who didn't "cross theiI
feet" and still others who danced the
regular rold"breakdown"- all were there
except one, who wrote note full OF
spice and defiance. When the time
came the offenders penitently confess
ed, and threw themselves on the mercy
on the court. Fearfully and heartily
each one promised TO "sin on more
and the pastor gave them all the hanC
Of forgiveness, and church and pastor
unitedly, started out for anothe
years stretch.
Up TO this time pastor Brooks is th'
only pastor in town who seems TO hav'
been troubled by Christmas festivitie,

E. X. CROCKETT
APPOINTED
Successor to the Late
James Bandy.

Judge Stuart, on Wednesday, ap-
pointed Mr.. E. King Crockett to fill the
unexpired term OF the late Sheriff, JAS
Bandy, who died a shot time ago.
Mr. Crockett has not qualified, but
it is understood will do so in few days
+. King Crockett is wellknown in this
county He is relative Of the present
deputy sheriff, John w. Crockett, and
a man of integrity and considerable
wealth. 1t will be recalled that he made
the race for sheriff at the last election,
at which time a large number Of the
citizens of this county expressed their
preference for him for the Office.
SO far as is known Mr.. Crockett has
gwen no hint as to who will be his de-
puties. One will be appointed for the
west end of the county, jailor, and a
deputy in Pocahontas. whether or not
the present deputies will be retained is
not known.
The new sheriff is a staunch Demo-
Irat, and if he should see fit to appoint
a man of his own political faith as de-
putty sheriff, it will be the first time in
nearly quarter of century that the
sheriffalty has been in the hands of the
Democrats.
The regular election Of sheriff takes
place next November.
Judge Stuart's appointment is eener-
ally approved. Mr.. Crockett will prove
a worthy successor to the late James
Bandy, whe was popular in the county
and an efficient officer.
