the council held their session. a
troop OF maidens were seen issuing
from the chapel. Their number
might have been eight or ten. The
orderly step with which they de-
parted from the dodr was exchang-
ed for playful ahaste in grouping

immediate precincts Of the place OF

the lands belonging to the defendants
in this suit, and on July "A the county
court, as far as could be done law
fully, made an order and entered e.
for the establishment of a drainage
district.
Judge Burnett holds that the petit
tion mentioned first is not sufficient
to show that the signers are owners

since the lands outside may be sus-
ceptible of the same mode of drainage
applicable to those within the district
and still the owners of such lands
outside the proposed district would be
improper petitioners, hence the peti-
tion is not sufficient to give the couu-
ty court jurisdiction to establish
district. Judge Burnett also holds
that the petition of M. L. Jones was
not sufficient as far as the jurisdic-
tion of the county court was con-
cerned, either in point of law or as
to the manner of publication of such
petition as to the length of time re-
qulred to give jurisdiction.
The much mooted question which
arose regarding the corporate exist
ence of the "Parkersvllle Drainage
Company was also dealt with by
Judge Burnett. The court holds that
the proceedings of the county court

laws of the so-calied drainage district

carried on in its name in the courts.
and offered in evidence at the hearing
of this case. are each and all imma-
terial and incompetent as proof OF any
allegation in the complaint contro-
verted by the answer in abatement
The property over which this uc-
tion was started lies near Parkers-
Vile, a few miles northeast Of this
city and is considered a very valu-
able tract. The trouble arose orig |
inally over the opening up of the dam ,
belonging to the Waiter family, they |
having been owners OF the dam and |
a sawmlll and grist mill standing
the same point for the past so years.
In order to accomplish perfect |
drainage system water must be takei !
a course leading through the |
dam, and for the past 80 |
years storm clouds have been hover
Ing about the district in litigation.
Three years ago the champions OF
the drainage problem succeeded In |
getting an injunction through the
Marion county courts enjoining the
W attier people from interfering with
the tearing out OF the dam. and the
wall holding the water was blown
out with dynamite. When this ac-
ton was performed, that vicinity be-
came extremely wrought up and there |
was music In the air at once. The /
injunction being held over the Wat
tiers compelled them not TO interfere. |
but the injunction failed TO apply TO
the Waiter family's neighbors, who |
turned out hundred strong with |
teams and replaced the demolished |
dam. The sheriffs office was be-
sleged with people asking for protec- |
ton during the replacing OF the dam |
and general feeling OF angry m
rest was felt In that nelghborhood. !
Everything was settled. however, the |
dam put back and the Waiter mills
resumed operation without bodily In
jury to any one, but the law was still .
invoked and now the matter may |
come 10 an end. j

HAS ARRIVED
Any Car Is Good Enough Until You KNOW BETTER

TTSED to think there was nothing like
" a good horse. Now we know better.
Once thought that the two-cylinder car
was ideal, but the four taught us to know
better.
And the four was surely the best car in
the world until the Winton Six taught US
to know better. When a better car than
the Six comes along, we'll be the first to
acknowledge It,
Meanwhile, the Winton Six shows SUI
premacy over all the field in:
QUIETNESS to a degree mechanically
impossible in fours.
SWEET OPERATION, due to the con-
tinuous power stream, found only in skies.
FLEXIBILITY, inseparable from con-
tinuous power
HILL CLIMBING ABILITY, due to Six
reserve power
SELF-CRANKING MOTOR, a feature
found on Winton Skies exclusively.
We used to make fours. But we haven't
been guilty since 1907. We reformed the
minute we knew better,
