HOT WEATHER AND
POST CARD CRAZE
GO HAND.IN.HAND

The hot weather of the past few days
has witnessed falling off in the local
postoffice receipts, as only the most i'm
portant mail matters are being attended
to-such as business letters, love letters,
and letters to "the old folks at home"
with the same old request. Postmaster
Rowland says he has noticed no material
decrease in the ordinary run of love let
tiers, but that two-ceut stamp will
carry letters of this variety that in other
seasons require "due 2-eents" stamp.
However, he is Of the opinion that hot
weather does not affect sentiment, but
that love letters this weather are short,
but sweet.
The post card craze is the most pop
ular at this time of year than at any
other, doubtless due to the fact that let
ter writers make the card fad answer
the purpose of letters during the mid
summer season.

a serious condition as a result of being
struck on his head by bayonet Thurs
day while standing on trestle near

head. Arnold was repairing the bridge
and he moved aside to one of the safety
platforms to let the train pass. There
was another workman with him, and
had it not been for him Arnold would
have fallen from the trestle after he was
hit.
Arnold was put on the train and re-
moved to his home at Sample. A ply

able colored woman, of this city, has at
last been rewarded by he good news
that her son. Bill Lightfoot, who has
been twice sentenced to the gallows for
murder in Memphis, Tenn, has finally
been acquitted Lightfoot was charged
with the murder of a railroad man in
Memphis several years ago, and was
twice convicted on purely circumstantial
evidence and sentenced to be hanged
each time. The Supreme Court of
Tennessee in both instances granted
him new trials, with the result that he
was acquitted few days ago.
When her son was accused of the
crime Susan Walker mortgaged her
little home in Cloverport to raise money
to defend him. Never a day during
the four years that his life had been at
stake has she ceased laboring to
accumulate sufficient means in his
behalf and it was through her efforts
alone that his case was given a rehear-
ing before the Supreme Court, thus
saving his life.
Lightfoot will arrive here shortly to
make his home with his mother.
