HEAVY PENALTIES
Inflicted on Liquor SeIIeTsin Lawrence
Circuit Court.

The called term of the Lawrence
Circuit Court adjourned on Saturday
asst. AS before stated the session
vas called for the purpose of trying
some whiskey cases, 28 in number.
Of these IL were tried and various
penalties inflicted Bootleggers and
)thers of this genus are much COLI
erned in this matter, and it is
reely predicted that one or two
more sentences Of fine and impris-
)nment will do lasting and salutary
good.
The fines assessed approximate
5000. One man. Pleas. Skaggs, was
ined nearly $500 and given Jail
sentences aggregating about two
ears. The jury also specified that
le should be placed at hard labor
IN the public highway.
Dave Williams was also fined and
sentenced to Jail with a hard labor
penalty attached.
Any man who thinks he can sell
liquor in violation of law In Judge
Hannah's district and escape punish
ment has very poor judgment He
will lose so much time serving out
Jail sentences that the business will
lot be profitable.

Negroes Notified to Leave.

Concerning the alleged danger of
war between the races at Pike
Vile, which was announced in press
dispatches sent out from that town
the latter part of last week, gen.
tleman from that section stated yes.
terday that all danger at present
seemed to have passed by, but that
it would be difficult To predict what
the future might bring forth. He
said that there had been a very
strong feeling stirred up among the
white people over the attempt of the
negro to murder attorney Cecil, but
the white people had wisely decided
to act deliberately and take no i'm
mediate action. However, he stated
that notice had been served on the
colored people of the town to the
effect that they should move out
within sixty days, or there would be
some trouble. The gentleman who
claimed to be in position to judge
of the nature of the case said that
should the colored people fail to act
upon the notice given them there
would be some serious trouble, un-
less there should be a decided
change of sentiment before the siy-
ty days time expired --Catlettsburs

soon as Huntington was reached he
could get that thousand dollar
check cashed, and they would have
some fun

walked down Ninth street to the
alley near Third Avenue, where they
stopped in the dark and took a
drink from bottle the negro car

In Memory Of UIIlch Miller.

| would like to ask permission 10
say something In your columns
about the life and death OF our es-
teemed friend Ulrich Miller, whom
| knew for many years That saint
ed old German settled on the head
OF Bear Greek near the close OF
the Civil War The land there was
considered poor, rough and almost
worthless But that good Christian
man, aided by his family OF indus
trious, honorable. temperate mem
bers, cleaned up those rough lands
and put them In grass, turning them
into profitable fields. They planted
orchards and erected comfortable
dwellings and lived on the fat OF
the land. The fact is, God seemed
TO bless this man in his home and
out OF his home. He blessed him
with noble family of children that
revereneed the father and mother.
We think these good old people in
family reverence occupied very much
the same relation as did old father
Abraham and Sarah. All this was
due To a careful religious training.
| Ulrich Miller was true Christian
man of no uncertain sound. His
faith VISA strong and he let his
light shine. No one who knew him
could help being attracted by him
although he was plain, unassum-
ing man He was not only a Christ
ian on Sunday, but on every day
Words fail us in attempting TO de.
scribe the virtues OF this noble man
Only the Judgment will reveal his
greatness. The community, th'
church, and his family have sustain
ed an irreparable loss, but his in
fluence will live TO bless this peo
pile for years to come.
