next twenty years drove total of
10000 miles. or nearly five times

miles a day was a good days travel

The government furnished the
coach and four horses, boarded me

that was pretty fair wages before the

places for five on top.
Deer, turkeys aud all sort Of game
were thick all along the line, while
up close to ST. Joe we often met par.
ties Of Indians from over in Kansas.

miles, due to the fact that we follow

took the stage could get TO St Joe

Suit Against College.
stipation.

The Supreme Court has decided an
interesting case involving suit
against the Greenville Female Col
lege and Furman University, both
being controlled by the same trustees
The case was brought by Prof. l.. NJ.
Hubbard, who was formerly instruc-
tor of music at the Greenville Fe-
male College.
After he resigned an announce
ment issued by the institution stated
that the music department was better
than ever before, and holding this
to be libel and damaging to his busi-
ness, suit was brought.
The defendant entered demur-
rer, stating that complaint did not
constitute a sufficient cause for ac-
ton. This demurrer was sustained
by the circuit court, but over-ruled
by the Supreme Court in the decis-
ion last week. AS a result the suit
will go to trial.
