concluded last Friday. the lawyers
making their arguments in the even
ing and the case going to the jury
about 10 o'clock. The jury was out
all night and early Saturday morn

members one more trial in an en-
deavor to arrive at an agreement.
At noon the jury was again called in
and the foreman announced that
they had failed to reach an agree
ment. The jury was then discharg-
ed and court adjourned until the
first Monday in January, the regu-
lar term. 1t is repprted that eight
members of the jury were for ac-
quittal and four for conviction.

But n your change II some hat shy
It makes life more complete
II In the place Of flowers and sweets
You bring her horne some meat.
They tell you TO be kind to her
And treat her as you did
Before you took her to your heart

That all sounds very nice indeed.
But would the lady thrive
on Ice cream sodas and the things
That kept her then alive?

The monty payments to beet
growers were made by the Lamar
