Several days ago the news dispatches
told of the arrest by police officers Of the
state of Kansas, of Grin NJ. Thomson,
wanted in Monroe, Walton county, Ga,
under indictment for perjury growing
out of his trial (and acquittaD on the
charge of numbering one of his neigh
borA
A requisition was issued by the. execu-
tive department on representations made
by Sheriff Smith, of Walton county. and
armed with the necessary gold-sealed and
tape bound papers the sheriff went out to
Kansas to bring the fugitive back to
justice.
That was all as it should be. The case
was q big one, for Thomson, and the
man who was killed, and all the parties
involved in the case, were well known in
their home community. The perjury In
dictments found after the acquittalE OF
Thomson resulted in three trials and
two convictions of former witnesses at
the murder trial. But Thomson and
burden, when the indictments were
found, had disappeared. Search for them
resulted in nothing till the word came
from Kansas that Thomson had been
caught. On the theory that burden
might be in the same state, the sheriff
secured requisition papers for burden,
too, and then took train for Kansas.
AS has been already said, that was
all as 1t should be.
BUT TT WASN'T THOMSON.
But the man whom the Kansans held in
durance vile wasn't Thomson at all.
'Twould be expressing 1t but mildly to
say that the Kansas cops were paralyZed
with establishment and that the sheriff
of Walton county was filled with disgust
when as the latter arrived at the jail the
face of one of Monroe's wayward young
men grinned at him through the bars and
answered to the name Of Thomson.
mo. that amt Thomasonw roared the
outraged sheriff. You're John Chanley,
and I've got a good mind to whale you
within half an inch of your life. What
does all this mean?"
The stupefed Kansan could answer
nothing more than that the prisoner had
come to them one cold, bitter night, and
told them: I'm Grin Thomson. wanted
in Walton county, Ca, for perjury. Take
sick of hiding. 1 want to take my medi-
cine and have it over with"
Thereupon they did as he bade them
90, and took him into the nice, warm jail,
and telegraphed the officers, and fed him
well till the sheriff came. That was ali
they knew.
Chanley added his own version. He had
been cold, he said. and somewhat hungry,
and had passed himself off on the Kan
sans as Thomson in order to get q warm
bed and plenty to eat. He was even will
ing to come back to Georgia with the
sheriff, he said, as Thomason. And the

COMPLAIN OF MOISTURE
IN SOUTHERN COTTON

The humidity cotton exists mostly in or
near the center of the bale and is due~
to the steam or water used in pressing
the staple. This not only Injuries the
cotton itself but also gives it fictitious
weight, which is lost shortly after the
bale is opened and evaporation takes
place. The French spinners expect to es-
tablish a laboratory for testing cotton
and obtaining official figures on the
amount of moisture.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS
 AT INDIAN SCHOOL
Wedding of Amos OwIsley and Miss Augusta Stocker Last Night.

A very pretty wedding occurred in the sitting room of the girls dormi- tory at the Phoenix Indian school last evening at o'clock, when Amos | Owlsley and Miss Augusta Stocker were united in matrimony by Rev. Henry M. Campbell, of Phoenix The room was daintily decorated with a wealth of sweet peas and orange blos- cons, and during the ceremony the contracting parties stood under we'd ding bell of real orange blossoms. The bride and groom were attended by Mir. and Mrs. Frederick Snyder. Many handsome presents were rendered the happy couple, and those coming from the seventh grade pupils of the school were by no means the least appre- ciated, for the bride is a teacher in the school, and these pupils have been under her especial care
 Mrs Owlsley has been a teacher in the Phoenix Indian school for the last six years, and has a great many friends whose acquaintance she has formed outside the school during her residence here, being of course very popular within school circles. She is not only well known in the Indian service in Arizona, but also in the northwest, where she taught for a long time in the government schools. Her former home was in Ohio.
 The groom is a retired business man of Paducah. Kentucky, where he owns considerable property, and arrived in Phoenix last Sunday morning, coming solely for the purpose of claiming his bride He has no other interest here and does not intend to remain here permanently. though he will stay for a time, probably until the end of the school year, when he will take his wife east.
 Though this is Mir Owlsley's first visit to Phoenix, he can hardly be called a tenderfoot in the far west His earlier life was spent as a loco- motive engineer. and in that capacity he drove the first engine over the old Atlantic & Pacific railway. now the Santa Fe, from Albuquerque to Needles. He continued on that run for four years, so it cannot be said that he is a stranger in Arizona, even if he is a little new in this county. The groom also has a military record, hay ing served the government as a quar- termaster during the Spanish -Ameri- can war.

THE ADVERTISER FORTY-FIVE
YEARS OLD.

With this issue of The Advertiser
1t enters upon its forty-sixth year
Fer %forty-fiye years il has been an in
stitution of this town and parish
Chronicling the history o. the pecnic,
promoting the development of this
section as far as lay in its power and
at all times lending its aid to all
movements for the welfare and inter
est of the people. That its services
have been appreciated is evidenced
by the fact that it is forty-fve years
old.
The present prcprietors purchased
The Advertiser June /, 1908, and dur
ing their ownership have done their
best to publish as good, newsy and
helpful a paper as their means would
permit. In this We have been gen
erously assisted by the business men
who have literally ~patronized us for
which we here wish to make appre-
ciative acknowledgment.
When We took charge of The Ad-
When we tOok charge Of The Ad-
vertiser it was a six column four page
weekly. 1t was not long before we
increased it to an eight page five col
umn PAPER, then later on to an eight
page six column paper. All these
changes and improvements being
made possible by a liberal support iP-
the way of advertising ~patronagI1l
subscriptions and job work.
Two years ago., believing that the
size and importance of Lafayette JUS
tilted a better local news service than
could be afforded by a weekly, we
changed The Advertiser to a semi
&. weekly, Sept. 3, 1909. This change
was approved and appreciated as has
been shown by an increased support
fully covering the additional expense.
Still desiring to give all the service
possible, last January We purchased
a linotype at a very heavy expense,
added to our reportorial force and I
have tried to make The Advertiser a
valuable, creditable and entertaining
paper. A large increase in our sub
scription list and very many express
ions of commentator assure us that
we have measurably succeeded in do
ing so.
1t is our purpose to keep up the
high standard. of the paper and add
valuable features as fast as the sup
port given us will permit, and that
we may have the means to do so, we
ask of our friends and the public gen.
orally as large and liberal a support
in advertising, subscriptions and job
work as they can give.
And remember, the more you sup
port The Advertiser the better paper
We can make it and the better able
the paper will be to serve the town
and parish and you.
