He Has a Musical Ear.

An unfortunate victim of circum.

register as Stanton Sweeney, of Big
Sandy, has been received at the county
jail to serve a sentence of thirty days
for disturbing the peace. These are
cold facts as told by the public re-
cords, but there is another side to the
story.
Mr.. Sweeney, it is understood, is
endowed or afflicted with a musical
ear. Melodious strains enthuse him
with ecstatic delight, while discorda ant
noise drives him to distraction. This
sensitiveuess to sound vibrations in
the atmosphere is the cause of his pre-
sent predicament.
An automobile with a fog horn
alarm attachment visited Big Sandy
the other day, its occupants amusing
themselves by exercising it's more or
less musical capabilities. Mr.. Sween.

he sought relief from the whiskey bot
