In the city court this morning Judge

OF offenders and before the defendant
had an opportunity TO utter more than
half a dozen words in defense of his
actions he was told to sit down and
also informed that it would take just
ten dollars to keep him off the street

informed by the judge that he had

Last night when the northbound
Santa Fe arrived at the station an in
dividual was discovered trying to dis
embark on the dark side Of the train
away from the lights of the station.
He was carrying a large grip and the
officer on duty thought it rather
strange and went to meet him when
he alighted. He was taken in charge
by the officer and the grip when
searched revealed thirty odd pint bot
ties of whisky. He and his grip were
taken to the police station and rather
than be locked up he deposited forty
dollars as a bond for his appearance
in court this morning. He evidently
got wind of what the leggers of this
city received when they came before
the judge, and concluded that he had
no farther use for that forty and skid
dooed. When court convened this
morning the bond was forfeited to the
city and the booze taken and emptied

BAND CONCERTS
JULY AND AUGUST
SMALL DONATION FROM THOSE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT CONCERTS.

There is a movement on foot 20
raise funds for the purpose of hiring
the Ardmore band TO give a concert at
the junction of Main and Washington
street every Wednesday night during
the months of July and August and II
is believed that little difficulty would
be experienced to raise the necessary
amount from among the merchants
who would be benefited by such con
certs. namely the soda founts and
drug stores. confectioneries and kin
dred business establishments.
1t i argued that good crowds would
attend the concerts every night and
taat the increase of trade at the above
mentioned places Of business would
more than justify them in donating
literally toward this fund. Some def
mite action will be taken In regard to
this matter in the near future, the
amount required is small and an op-
portunity will be given to those ben
edted to state just how heartily they
are in sympathy with this movement

New York Central lines by the way
of Cleveland and Buffalo, thence over
the I,ehigh Valley scenic route
through New York and Pennsylvania
to philadelphia. The Lehigh valley
is beautiful with its mountains, lakes

wells great church with a seating

According to rumors there Is going

of the city and the policemen on duty
at present are wondering just whose

The reports and records shcw that

good the ante-election promises of the
commissioner of police and give the
town a clean up. Now that this is
accomplished and the city practically
free from bootleggers and other I'M
desirable citizens, it is the intention
Of the commissioner to keep another

stated, however, that if the necessity
arose and it required more men for

UTILIZE LOT FOR

OLD CAlckASAW LUMBER YARD
LOT MAY BE USED UNTIL Gov
EMINENT DESIRES TO BUILD.

1t has been suggested by some
who are interested, that when the
lumber is removed from the old
Chickasaw lumber yard, and the lot
cleared off, that it be made a sort
of market place for the farmers wag-
ons to assemble, especially wood wag-
ons, and also a general stand for the
draymen Of the city, thus obviating
the necessity of letting teams stand
for a long time on hot pavements
20 the detriment of the horses hoofs
and the consequent digging of holes
in the pavement.
AS the situation is at present the
draymen are compelled to take their
stand at the corner of Washington
and Main streets and sometimes it is
nearly impossible for traffic to pro
ceed, especially when they are not
busy. as there are many OF them
and the street is not any too wide
at the best This lot will be utilized
foY & federal building when the gov
eminent gets ready 20 build, which
may be in a few months, or more
likely few years. BE that as it may
it is argued that until the govern
ment get ready to utilize the lot,
1t can be made to serve a good pur
pose # given over to the above.

LEGISLATORS WILL
STAY ANOTHER WEEK

Birmingham, Ala, May 3.-It
has been determined by the Alabama
wing of the Tennessee legislature tc
remain in Birmingham until next
Tuesday night, at least.
The daily sessions have been prac-
tically abandoned, but the fiihuster-
ers are discussing conditions among
themselves and SO far appear to be
of the opinion that to remain away
from the state is the best policy.
Representative Groner reports hav-
ing a good time in Pensacola.
Representative Mcdonald has
nothing to say in regard to the ar
rest of Judge Goodpasturc on the
charge of attempting to bride. In
fact, all discussion on that matter
has ceased. 1t is now figured out
that by remaining away from Ten
nesSee until after Tuesday next all
chances of change in the election
laws will have been eliminated.
There is an anxiety on the part Of
the members of the legislature here
to return home, several of the men
being farmers, but the duty to the
state, as it is termed, has the call.
The promised sensation for this
week has not developed, nor is it be-
lieved now that it will come out,
the Mcdonald announcement hav-
ing attracted more attention than
was looked for.

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas in the providence of an all
: wise Creator it was seen fit to remove
from the walks of men our esteemed
fellom citizen and loved mem Der of the
board of education, of Johnson City, in
the person of DR.. Il. S. Miller, who
passed from this life on the 18th day of
April 1911, and we are bought to a
realization that all must humbly sub
nit to the will of the Heavenly Father,
yet we feel deep sence of sorry and do
sincerely mourn the loss of this our
co lorer and honered fellow m5mb Der.
we are deeply concious of the absence of
sympathetic fellowship in him, of a
marked loss in our councils and the
taking away of most conscientious
adviser and worker.
Therefore, be it resolved by the board
of education, of which body he was a
worthy member, that we express the
loss we sustain in his death as worthy,
conscientious, painstaking and safe
councillor of our body and as noble
christian citizen. His life has been an
exemplification of all that is worthy
and good in public and private For
nearly quarter of century he has
been the leading figure in the educat-
onal councils of the public schools of
our city, being chairman of the board
for almostthe entire time of his ser vice,
and with ali he had the full conf
dence of his fellow, the love and adj
miration of the teachers and the
highest respect and esteem of the
citizens whom he represented.
Be it resolved further, that we extend
our heart felt sympathy to the family
in their sore bereavment in the taking
away of SO devoted father.
Resolved further, that copy of these
resolutions be spread of record in the
minutes of the board education, that
copy be furnished the daily papers of
the city for publication, and that
copy be .givin the family of our de-
parted brother.
