manager terms song history music"

Welsh takes his seat in front of the
piano and casts his mind back to the
days ''befo' the wah." Negro music
floats into his mind, and for nearly an
hour he plays plantation songs. When
his manager believes that this is be-
ginning to touch his nervous system.
he nudges his elbow and whispers:

'Tamingof a Shrew"

There was a case before Magis-
trate McNamer Monday forenoon
that excited considerable interest
and blended with tears and anguish
and dagger stares and a swoon-
ing spell or two there was the light
er and merrier side.
One day during the latter part of
last week there was a, little family
alteration between the Miely and
Whittecar families and the climax
of the unpleasantness was a slap
an open handed one-administered
to Mrs. Miely by Elmer W~hittecar.
The gallant husband had Elmer ar
rested and the trial date was set for
Monday. Two or three eye wit
nesses to the comedy-tragedy were
called in but the testimony against
Elmer was not of a very damaging
nature. The Mielys assumed an
air of outraged dignity? and Elmer
swore that Mrs. .Miely threatened
to put a bullet into him. and. all
in all it looked as if some bad. feel
ing had been engendered. Magis-
trate McNamer levied a fine on
Whittecar of $40 and costs.

\ Nuisance

Complaints of most emphatic and no doubt just nature have reached this office Of the very unsanitary and dangerous condition of the old lum- Der yards, sheds and building near the Iron Mountain depot. From these reports we judge that the buildings are used for any and all purposes not intended, and that they have become a public nuisance. IL is stated that residents in that neighborhood cannot sit upon their galleries nor open their windows toward the place on account of the stench, and that the same is dangerous to the health and opposed to the comfort of said residents We call the attention of the authorities to this condition and feel sure that the nuisance will be immediately abated
