Those blamed sowbells, those loud cowbells,
How many a tale their music tells
OF rations small
In owners stall;
or frequent raid
On garden made;
While cuss-words vehement md deep
From citizens reused from their sleep
At early morn
The air adorn,
Like specks upon over-ripe fruit,
Or %noyice's dissonant foot,
As loud and louder swells,
The music of those bells!
With a cling and a clang,.
With a Wiling and a whang,
Rings the bell of the COW!
Each nip of the grass at her feet,
Each step as she PAGES the street
The quick circling switch of her APPELLANT tail,
The toss of her head
Arouses such echoes they hardly can fail
To waken the dead!
Those blest cow-bells, the dear COW bells!
How stark a tale their music tells
OF scanty feed,
OF hungry greed,
And ~picked-up feasts in grassy dells!
The dear old COW, the sweet cow-bell,
We love them more than we can tell,
When kept afar within green pastures,
But close at hand when we would sleep,
They stir our gall both wide and deep,
And then we bless their stingy masters!
L. M. Henson, circuit clerk and
the murderer of S. H. Adams and
VIM. Heck on Ten Mile creek on
April 18th, was by the court Tues
day removed as circuit clerk. The
suspension will become operative
and take effect on August 18th, at
which time his cases are set for
trial. The suspension provides
that he can not act in the capacity
of circuit clerk SO long as his cases
are pending, and he will be COM
PEELED to turn the matter over to
some other person on that day.
Several days ago Henson filed a
motion to have the court appoint
some one to act as special deputy
to have charge of the papers in the
cases where he is charged with
numbering the two above named
men, but Judge Sheppard very
wisely overruled the motion Tues
day and suspended him from act
ing as circuit clerk at all after
August 18th. Henson's attorneys
have notified Judge Sheppard that
they would apply to the supreme
court for a writ of prohibition to
prohibit Judge Sheppard from APP
pointing a clerk to take the place
of Henson. That means that the
supreme court will have to pass
upon the legality as to whether a
clerk can be appointed.-Poplar
