THE COOP
MANAGER OF THE MARIETTA
HOTEL LOSES CHICKENS BUT
FINDS THEM LATER.

The manager of the Marietta hotel
looked into the hostelry's chicken
coop several days ago and counted the
chickens therein, numbering six, and
he looked into the same coop the fol-
lowing day and there was nothing in
1.-THE half dozen hens had suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared as II
they had evaporated. He took anoth-
er look this morning and behold the
six chickens were peacefully resting
In their little snug home.
This somewhat worried the mana
ger until he was told by the negro
porter that he had gone TO certain
hen coop near the hotel and knowing
the chickens we're there lie returned
them home. or course. the manager
does not accuse any one of stealing
the chickens, far be 1t from him to do
that. but he cannot understand why
the six hens left home when they
were receiving the best of treatment.
For their foolishness their heads will
come off to-day and they will not have
an opportunity TO leave home, admit.
ting that they left on their own nc.

JUSTICES
ARE BUSY
AMOS AND soYpsToN
ARE KEPT VERY BUSY
THESE DAYS. Z.

The two justices of the peace OF this
district, T. w. Boydston and E. S.
Amos, are about the busiest men in.
the city at present and 1t appears that
they will be for some weeks trying
civil cases from early in the morning
until late in the, evening.
One of the squires remarked this
morning that he had more civil busi-
ness on hand at present than he ever
did before, that 1t looked as II every
other person was suelng the other and
that he had rendered seven judgments
this morning. That's some decisions
to hand out ina few hours. When
asked What the reason was for so
much civil business all at once, the
Justice was unable to answer. How
ever; he said that he supposed that as
every one in this section are now em-
ployed, which was not the case about
two years ago, and that the money on
a debt could be got easier when one
was working, and manY business men
wanted to get money due them before
the first Of the year. In nearly all the
suits brought before the justices dur
ing the past week have not come to
-tsial, as ;'the person sued confessed
Judgment and paid the costs in the
case. Z. & r
In addition to the civil business the
above named justices have number
of criminal cases brewing and just as
quickly as the warrants can be served
and the persons brought before the
court there will be other work for
them.
Justice Amos said he was 80 busy
that he did not have time to spit and
that he was now using fountain pen
with which to make his records as he
could not waste the time by dipping
an ordinary pen into the ink.
The squires of this city proper are
80" doing the business at present.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-ln one of
the most sensational petitions ever
presented in the Federal Court the de-
partment of Justice to-day appealed

tion is characterized as ruthless
monster" which crushed all 1t could
not control and the courts asked to
dissolve 1t "by receiving otherwise"
and to restore to the sugar trade old
time competition. Trust agreemnts,
monopoly, fraud. graft and the ruth
less use of>power TO crush or conquer
independents are among the reasons
given for asking the court to end the
giant combines activity. The suit
