Especial Correspondence

Athena ore, Feb. 21.-The case
OF Bannister VS.. Pinkerton for the re-

jury was 10 the effect that Mr.. Pink

Bannister the sum of $50 as a pasture
bill and Mr.. Bannister was to pay the
costs of the trial which will probably
amount TO about $50.
Attorney H. T. Watts was the coun-
sci for the plaintiff and Attorney S
F. Wilson represented the defend
ants.
The trial was a very heated one
besides being quite funny, and by the
hearty laughs that issued forth from
the court room one would think that
q comic opera was going on instead
Of a trial.
Mrs, Pinkerton proved to be the
star witness and in her testimony sh'
caused the large crowd which attend
ed the trial to laugh quite a numbel
Of times.
The arguments of the two attorney
were finished by $50 and the cour
was adjourned until 700 at which
time the jury went out and returned
with a verdict after about an hou
and a half of deliberation.
Mrs. Barrett Improving.
According to reports received her
today, Mrs. c. a. Barrett, the wifi
of Senator Barrett who is now at Sa
lem, is improving and the doctors re
port that the crisis has passed an
that the pneumonia will begin
loosen its grip upon the stricken VIC
man. Such reports bring very gla
tidings to all Of the citizens of thi
community, as Mrs. Barrett holds tn
esteem and respect Of all who kno'
her. It is hoped by her many friend
that she will soon be able to retur
TO this city with Senator Barrett.
