The Band Concert given at the
Academy of Music last Thursday
evening was one of the best enter
tainments enjoyed by the people
of this town for many a day. The
Doe Run Band, under the direction
of Prof. j. B. Graves, is a credit to
the Southeast, and shows how near
to perfection an organization of
musicians under competent leader
ship may attain. The programme
presented was one of good music
beautifully rendered. There was
not an Indifferent number, and the
audience filing the hall testified
their appreciation by frequent and
hearty plaudits. The Band mem
bers express gratitude to the peo-
pie of the Valley for their hearty
reception and evident %apprecia-
ton; but the Band received no
favor it did not fully deserve.
May it be long a source of pleasure
to the public and qualification to
the community which boasts it's
existence.

In the circuit court of Jefferson
county, in session at Hillsboro last
Thursday, Messrs. Williams and
Fraser, attorneys for Mrs. Spaugh,
made application for a writ of
habeas corpus for their client in
order that the question of bail
might be argued. Judge Williams
granted the application and or
dered that Mrs. Spaugh be brought
to Hillsboro June 9th, when the
case would be heard, provided the
defense put up the necessary funds
to take her there. The next day,
however, the Judge decided that
as judge of the Jefferson circuit he
had no Jurisdiction in the case and
set the order of Thursday aside, at
the same time notifying the at
torneys that he would hear the
application in chambers at Hills
bro, June 9th. When the case
came up on Tuesday the Judge
granted the writ of application for
habeas corpus and named Friday,
June Both, as the date for hearing
the same. The defense asked for
an order for the attendance of
VIM. and Arthur Spaugh as wit
nesses for their mother. The Or
der was granted provided the de-
Tense put up money to pay for
guards and defray all expense of
taking the prisoners to Hillsboro.
The amount required is about
S31.50. If the amount is forth
coming Mrs. Spaugh and the two
boys will be taken to Hillsboro
Friday, and the question OF bail
for Mrs. Spaugh decided by Judge
Williams. Prosecuting Attorney
Damron was present at the filing
of both applications before Judge
Williams, and, of course, will be
on hand when the matter zones
up Friday.
