THE CIRCUIT COURT.
VICTOR LARD ACQUITTED OF THE
CHARGE OF NUMBERING HARDY
LOTION.
Sid HOskins. Steward Of the Owl Club,
Convicted, Fined $500 and Given
90 Days.
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL OVER.
RULED AND AN APPEAL TAKEN.
Court Adjourned to Day Special Term
Begins Dec. 30.

! Since our last report the follow
ing proceedings have been had:
The jury in the case in which
Victor Lard was charged with the
murder of Hardy Lotion, after
being out from Wednesday eve
ming until Friday morning, re-
turned verdict of acquittaI.
! Ebert Lard, who was Jointly
indicted with his brother, Victor,
was discharged and a mol pros en-
tered as to him.
TiIlman Ferdinand, negro,
was arraigned on charge of re-
failing, pleaded guilty and was
fined $25 and costs.
In the case of Walter Blue, col
ored, who pleaded guilty to bur-
glarizing j. NJ. Woods store, the
court reduced the sentence from 7
to 5 years in the State penitentia
lry. Blue was an important State
witness against Frank Smith, col
ored, whom jury convicted of
the same crime.
The jury that tried Sid Hoskins
for retailing, at the conclusion of
the trial on Thursday afternoon,
was out only few minutes when
they returned a verdict of guilty
as charged. A motion for a new
trial was made and overruled, and
defendant allowed 60 days to file
bill of exceptions. The sentence
of the court on Hoskins is $500
fine and so days in Jail, together
with the cost of court. The de-
fendant's appeal bond is fixed at
$1,000.
The demurrer to the indictment
against F. S. Swain, charging
him with unlawfuIly selling CO.
caine, was sustained, and the in
dictment was dismissed and
Iqusshed, on account of a defect in
the draft Of the Indictment. Two
indictments we're found against
Swain, and the other one is said
to be fatally defective, but has not
been disposed of. This, by the
way, is causing much unfavorable
comment at the expense of Dis
trict Attorney Webb.
The official bond of Mr.. n. S.
Cruise, stenographer, for $2500,
with Glenn V. RatcIiff, Hugh V.
Wall and Isaac Fox, sureties, as
required by the new Code, has
been filed.
The Jury in the case against
Julia James, colored, charged
with retailing, returned verdict
of not guilty.
In the case of A. Danico,
charged with retailing, a plea of
mole contendere was entered by
defendant, and he was fined the
sum of $50 and cost, and sentence
suspended during good behavior
The term will end today, and
after a lapse of a week special
term of court will be held to dis
pose of civil cases.
The grand jury submitted its
final report Thursday evening and
was discharged. The report fol-

In company with their many
friends, we regret to learn that
Mr.. and Mrs. |. Blum will soon
leave Brookhaven to locate in
New Orleans. They have added
much to our commercial and social
circles and their familiar faces
will be missed among US. Our
best wishes attend them to their
new home.

IzAAk WALTON. FISHERMAN.

Serene, secure, beside some stream
He kept his vigil, dreamed some
dream;
No visionary fair romance
Of famous deeds with horse and lance,
But battles waged with foemen shy,
By weapons such a line and fly.
Day after way the fisher spent,
Beguiled to a supreme content,
In sharing crafty silver trout,
Or perch, if mulberry buds were out;
Sequestered with the falling rain,
The song of thrush, or lark's refrain.
With some choice friend who loved rs
well
The wonder of the liquid spell,
The watched how swift the salmon
sped
Across the amber river bed,
Or how the grayling, or the dance,
Went gliding smooth from place to
place.
Past cowslip meadows, jesamine
bowers,
Hedges with honeysuckle flowers,
They wandered slow to some quaint
inn
That smelled with lavender within,
Where he would sip some homely
wine
And boast the prowess of his line.
Martha Hale Shackford, in Every
body's.

THE MAKING OF A sNoR,

You catch him at a tender age
When he's child and democratic;
A goVerness you then engage
NO public schools! That is EN-
phatic;
To mix with common lads destroys
OF snobbery the mere suggestion,
So let him only play with boys
Whose social standing none may
question.
When he's at home talk Blood and
Birth"
And make him think his only mis-
sion
Upon this broad and busy earth
Is showing folks that he's "Patri
cian."
Then send him to some private school
Where only "swell folks" are ad
mitted,
Where snobbery is all the rule
And boys for social life" are fitted
Then later be most careful that
He goes to some most "cultuhed col
lege;;"
Get him to join a snobbish frat;
Of common chaps" give him nc
knowledge.
When he is finished see that he
Is kept away from work and work
ers,
For every f1rst-class snob must be
Enumerated with the shirkers.
This is the recipe; of course
The boy will probably grow FESTIVE
And break the bonds, though you
grow hoarse
With talks of snobbery suggestive
But if you hold him to this line
Of conduct, leaving nature scopeless,
He'll be snob of pure design
If notch, we'll, he's simply hope
less.
-Berton Braley.

MAUD CONNIE.

The shadows have fallen over the
pathway Of Maud Come, the beauti-
full, brilliant brave, young Irish wo-
man, whose devotion to the cause of
Irish freedom won for her the title of
the Erich Joan of Arc" But five short
years ago, she stood in life's sunlight,
respondent in her glory as the eloqunt
impressive, impestuous advocate of
the cause of liberty Of her dear mother
land, in whose cause no service she
could perform seemed arduous, no
effort she was able to make a sacci-
fee. She was welded to the cause of
Irish freedom. Her soul WIS ever
aflame with loe of the lite oppressed
little island in the sea; her sympathy
infinite; her enthusiasm lfmitless; her
willingness to labor for the cause she
loved boundless; her efforts to aid by
patriotic devotion unremitting. She
was a tireless worker for the oppres-
ed; faithful friend of Ireland and an
irreconcilabIe foe Of England. She
was so firmly welded to her advocacy
the world over, of the cause Of Ireland,
that she turned deaf ear to the
pleadings of all who sought to turn
her until fate-cruel fate-came in
the form of Major Mcbride, who
wood her successfully and won both
her heart and her hand.
The Irish world envied him the
jewel he had won-and which might
we'll be feared the Irish causes had
lost. And now the sympathy of the
Irish world goes out to her in the
fullest measure that her sun of happi-
ness has been dimmed, and the shad-
ows of sadness have fallen across her
pathway.
Her husband proved unworthy of
the Jewel he had won, and she sought
relief in the French court by praying
for legal separation. from him. Her
prayer has been granted by the civil
tribunal of Seine, within whose
jurisdiction she has lived for years.
which has granted her a judicial
separation from her husband, but not
an absolute divorce, which the court
held it could not grant for the reason
that she is a British subject. The court
also gave her the custody of her only
child-a boy of three years. Her nus
band demanded the custody Of the
child to which, by a remarkable pro,
vision of French law, he would have
been entitled, no matter how I'M
worthy, had an absolute divorce been
! secured. SSAE

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's disposf-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like n ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this TACT.

Il a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds In
Weight and Became Well by Taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Ors NNlIiidmS TInk TlilSs
Women at forty, or whereabouts, have
their future i'll their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system is purified by
such tonic as Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. d. @. Wedding, Of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
81 was seriously i'll and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. l had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming III my head and nervous
troubles.
81 was under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and I decided that would
try them. The very first box I took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes more was entirely we'll,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best Of
health. l have recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ao-
count of what they did for me, and I feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishinent Any woman

CARE FOR cHYsANTHEMUMs

Keep your chysanthemums going
steadily ahead. This is done by re-
potting to larger pots if their roots
have filed the old ones, by the liberal
use of some good fertilizer, and thor
ough watering. In hot weather 1t
may be necessary to apply water to
the roots twice day. Always keep
the soil quite moist. Be on the look
out for the black beetle. This is the
most dangerous enemy of the chysan-
themum. My remedy is ivory soap
melted and mixed with water, in pro-
portion of a small-sized cake to fifteen
gallons of the latter. apply with a
sprayer, all over the plant. Do this
repeatedly, once or twice day until
not a beetle is to be seen.-Eben E.
Rexford in Outing Magazine.

Italian Steamer Ashore.

New York, June 19.-The Italian
steamer Vicenzo Bonanza, which
stranded three miles east of Fire ISL
and lighthouse during a dense fog, re-
mains immovable on the sandbar
where she struck. The wind and
heavy sea rolled the vessel consider
ably and the captain decided to leave
the ship with his crew. The breaches
buoy was put into use by the life
saving crew and two men We're
brought safely ashore in this manner.
The remainder of the crew, thirty
men, the captain of the steamer and
the one passenger were brought
ashore in the life boat.
