Tennis Tournament.

Tennis players of the High school
tennis club are preparing to hold a
tournament this year and which they
hope will be on a larger scale than
last year. While no dates have been
named 1T is suggested that the last
week in May be selected, and this
seems to meet with popular approx
al. The members have been asked to
hand in their names so as to know
how many entries to provide for.
Last years tournament was a
success in every way and keen inter-
est was developed among the play
ers. This years meet will not differ in
essentials from the previous one.
Prizes, probably medals, will be given
to the successful player. Last year
medals were given to the best play
ers among the girls, and boys, and
to the winners Of the mixed doubles
Tennis is a popular sport among the
students, but this year it has been a
little backward on account of the
chilly weather.

Twenty Years Undisturbed, Adverse
Possession Prevails.

Yesterday at Wickliffe the case OF
w. T. Gholson against f. ]. Deshs
was decided in favor of the plaintiff
Attorney Mike Oliver. of this city,
representing the plaintiff. 1t was an
unusual suit, Gholson having been
ousted from farm he had bought
and lived on for more than 20 years
It was sold to Gholson for a judg-
ment, being attached after the death
of the owner. Mrs. Mollie Frazier.
Mrs. McMaymes twenty years later
asserted her claim on the property as
being the only heir of Mrs. Mollie
Frazier, and after hard fight was
awarded possession of the property
on the grounds that the sheriff
should not have attached after
death, the property naturally falling
to the, daughter who assumed the
debt. e. j. Desha bought it from Mrs.
McMaymes and Gholson then sued
for possession, alleging that he had
held it twenty years without pro-

Platform Wrecked and Operators Of
flee Damaged in Accident
This Winter.

The Illinois Central will build a
new station at Little Cypress, few
miles east of Paducah. When the big
steel derrick wrecking car left the
rails several weeks ago it took near
ly all the depot platform at Little
Cypress away, and shook the tele-
grapher's Office partly off its founda-
tons. The building needed repairs
and rather than patch it up, the road
decided to put up new and more
substantial building. Little Cypress
is a block station, and the new build
ing will be fitted out better than the
old one.

sad DAYS at Chez Chase

The red flags on the Chevy Chase golf
course are draped in mourning. No longer
do the red-breasted robins hop cheerily
across the turfy lawn, and the chicka-
dees and the sparrows have ceased their
merry carnival in the old oak trees. Like
wise there is gloom In the grill room.
The tables literally groan. The siphon
bottle stands unnoticed upon the side
board. and the daily consumption Of ice
has been reduced 10 a minimum Around
the desoIate fireplace the members sadly
discuss the hard -heartedness of the Mont
gomery County court
There was a time I'm the history Of the
Chevy Chase Club when happiness pre-
vailed. A gentle tap upon the table
brought at once the responsive and al
tentive waiter and a bottle of Scotch and
a tall glass instantly followed. Under the
soothing influence Of the beverage thus
concOcted, the enthusiastic golfer forgot
his troubles. The bunker on No. .

Let US be thankful while the shadows
thus hang darkly over the grill room at

liquor be sold without a license in the
sacred precincts Of Montgomery County.
The good old days Of conviviaI invitation
have passed away. Now is the mournful
period Of a solitary drink out Of a private
bottle carefully brought forth from an
individual locker and as carefully re-
placed again. 1t is a time for tears.
The situation, however. might be worse.
Even the private locker might be
abolished. In that case, the Chevy Chase
golfers would cross the line to Bannock-
burn and. with their rugged faces turned
toward Montgomery County, indulge in "a
