agree and the case doubtless will be
tried.
Much interest centers in the suits
in which DR.. ID. A. Amos, of Cobb,
Ky, formerly practicing physician,
of Paducah. is the defendant. Four
suits growing out of night rider de-
predations, have been filed against
him and the plaintiffs are Henry
Bennett, G. w. Rucker, Laura
Toomey and G. w. Gordon. Another
interesting night rider case is that
of Tom Stephens against Alonza
Gray.
Preparations for the coming term
of court have been completed and
the court room has been renovated.
The trials will no doubt attract many
curious people. Deputy Marshal Ell
wood Neel has served all of the sum-
monses for witness in the night rider
suits.

late in the afternoon throngs of

A Few Thoughts to be Con.
sidered by Those Who do
not Think.

The Columbus Street Railway,
Light & Power Co. has the
largest payroll of any industry
in Columbus except the Inter
State Lumber Co. Has in its
employment with a few eXcep-
tions men who were raised in
our county. Seventy per cent.
of its gross earnings go back to
our city trade among whom the
employees live. 1t is the rule of
the company to purchase every
thing in the city from her local
people and buy only machinery
and electrical supplies from a
distance. All surplus over bond
interest goes into the betterment
of the property and. only the six
per cent. bond interest ever goes
East for the bonds held there.
This can be easily changed if
these professional knockers Will
only come forward with some of
their coin. They can get bonds
at same price as the Eastern
capital. There is no excuse for
these knockers benefit to
the city and none to themselves.
Our policy is justice and equity
to both the people and the COM
pany giving to the people all
that a city of twelve thousand
inhabitants will justify, at the
same time the finances of the
company must be considered.
We are glad a large majority of
our citizens appreciate our
efforts.

Mr.. Leigh has gained an en-

have every confidence in his
judgement, evidenced by the
crowds of people who are

former efforts, which is say
ing a great deal.

Miss Mecklenberger as Touch

Audrey interpreted their parts
in a delightful manner. Miss
Frances Jones as Jaques was ex-
ceptionally good in her rendition
of some of the famous passages
of the play. The charming solos
by Miss Gladys Hirshman gave
additional charm to the scenes.
But if we stopped to enumerate
the good qualities of every mem
ber of the cast we should find
ourselves at a loss when to end,
so shall be forced to declare that
the acting was all of an unusu-
ally high order.
A large and representative
audience filed the building,
many being forced to remain
standing throughout the per-
formance. The costumes which
were rich and in excellent taste
were we'll adapted to the indi-
vidual parts and added much to
the staging of the play. The
scenery for the performance
which was kindly furnished free
of charge by the West Point
Opera House management, made
a pretty setting for the actors.
