Arthur HUFF, as administrator of
the estate of Harriet M. Emerson,
deceased, last week appealed from

the matter.

We understand that about all of
the cases against people for VIOLA
ton Of the local option law in
Wayne county were knocked out
at the recent term of circuit court
down there. John Raney says
that if the people there had an
opportunity to vote on the ques-

majority in favor of license.

R. Brown, who now has a Pullman

when he gets to Ell Paso he crosses
the river, sees the bull fight and
other novelties that make one for

We wish that the people of Iron
county could see a copy of the
original telegram sent to the POST
Dispatch last Saturday, telling of
the Hawkins Reagan episode. The
fellow that wrote those lines is
easily entitled to the blue ribbon
in the liars club. OF course, the
telegram was not printed. No
paper with any decency or self.
respect could print it.
A number of people were in
yited to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Gross, Monday night, to
witness the unfolding of six buds
on a plight blooming cereus. When
opened these flowers measured
nine inches across; they we're Of
the purest white, and their per-
fume was exceedingly rich and
sweet. 1t would be hard to find in
the floral realm a more beautiful
sight than was presented by that
plant.
DR.. Hugo Summa tells us that
on the grounds of his home in
Russellville, an old pear tree is de-
veloping new leaves and showing
a great many blossoms these warm
August days. What makes the
fact the more remarkable is that
the tree is almost entirely de-
stroyed by blight, a tleast there is
not a single green leaf, aside from
the very small new leaves, to be
seen. Can some one explain this
seeming biologic freak?
DIED-At the home of his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Sutton, at
Prentice, Ala, August 81, 1907,
Selma August Sutton, aged two
years, eleven months and twenty
one days. This early victim to
the fell destroyer was a bright
little boy and the Joy Of the house,
hold. | can give no words Of
comfort, much as I would like to,
and can only assure the parents of
my earnest sympathy. They have
one consoling thought: the heaven
they look forward to is surely his,
and is the brighter and dearer for
his being there.
