PENDANT Bound over to Court.

In the case of Katie Dean, charged
with the selling of liquor without IL
cense, before the city court this morn
ing, the prosecutor desired to with
draw the warrant, and this having
been refused, Attorney w. j. fowler
moved to Quash on the grounds that
it was void. This warrant was issued
by E. E. Erwin as justice of the peace
and the defense held that the city
recorder had no right to undertake
the hearing of the case.
The motion was denied by the act
ing city recorder, and as the defense
refused further to participate in the
case the defendant was bound ovez
to the circuit court to await the aC
ton of the grand jury and the wit
nesses notified to appear before the
grand jury at the next term.
Attorney fowler denied the right OF
all these proceedings, and is prepar-
ing to institute habeas corpus pro-
ceedings ard to test the case at once.
The question between the city aud
the defense in this case it would ID
simply one of concurrent jurisdiction.
The city recorder is given the right to
issue warrants returnable before q
justice of the peace, and this appears
to have been justice of the peace
issuing warrant returnable before
the city recorder.
The city attorney takes the ground
that even though it should be found
that the warrant should not be return
able before the city recorder, the Of
tense charged is a violation Of the
State laws and in that case the war.
rant is perfectly sound, it being the
right and duty of the justice Of tho
peace to issue warrants in such csaes.
The case will come up as soon az the
proper papers can be drawn and prop
sr service had.

ANCIENT RIVALS TO
MEET ON SATURDAY
ON FRANKLIN FIELD
CADETS WILL PLAY THE BAT
TIE GROUND ACADEMY TO
THE FINISH.
FIRST REAL FIGnl OF SEAS ON
Heretofore the Locals Have Been Up
Against Light teams Entirely But
1t Is Confidently Expected They
/. Will Take the Game.

Saturday will be hard struggle for
&c. NJ. A. football team on the grid
iron. The team goes to Franklin to
play the crack Battle Ground Acade-
my eleven, and the chances are that
the cadets will get defeated for the
first time Of the season, unless hey
play closer down and more together.
Heretofore the team has only been
up against lighter propositions, the
Lawrenceburg High School Team be-
ing decidedly the nuttiest proposition
they have had to tackle, and they had
a hard fight with the lads from Law
Fenceburg.
There will be an entirely different
problem to solve next Saturday and
here is hoping that the soldier lads
win out, but it is going to take some
awfully hard pulling to do it. G.
A. has not bitten the dust this year
and neither has c. M. A. for that mat,
ter, but the lads from the Battle
ground have a string of victories ever
the soldiers to their credit and they
will go in with great deal of conf.
dence in themselves to cop the game.
Now the thing for the cadets 10 do
is to play the game The line must
hold better, so as to enable Wither-
spoon to get away on his end runs.
Lockwood must be given better in
reference to enable him to perfect
his twisters through and around the
line. II the coach places Looney
back in the line at tackle and will
play his old effective ground gaining
stunts all will be well.
With Looney back in the line and
Witherspoon to do the punting aud a
fair chance given to Lockwood, Ko-
Der and W!therspoon to pull OF some
runs with the line plunges of Looney
and Rainey the odds are not 30 great
against the soldier lads, in fact there
II more Of an sveness. But It will
take some good playing, generalship
and headwork to turn the trick for
the locals. But here's hoping for the
0dets.

I'LL that grave no argument it can
bring will have any effect"
Present day social affairs were
touched on when the Bishp said the
tendency of the times was to ask If
there was any harm in a thing in
stead of asking hard much good there
was in it.
How much good is there in the
ball room, my mother? Does it send
your boy home to you at night with
blood cool and free from bestial pas
sion, and with higher ideals of puri-
y and virtue How much good is
there in the ball room. Let Beatty
and the Binford girl tell the story.
You who indulge in social clubs
and card parties, serve charming re.
freshments and get your name in the
papers the next day, what good are
you to the community? have one
thing to ask of you, don't ask me to
preach your funeral. If you do will
say here is woman whose ambition
was to get into the 400; her name
shall long be known as the best card
player in town; the walls are lined
with the prizes she won and she has
gone to tie destiny of the common
gambler
When the Bishop rounded out this
period there was a hearty approval
manifested by a vigorous handicap
ping all through the audience.
In speaking of the altruistic idea
of doing good for the sake of doing
good he said if there was nothing be-
yond to count him out.
He closed his sermon with a mag
nifcent word painting of sunset,
and the glorious music of chime bells,
together with his experience all alone
in a country church at II o'clock
at night, concluding with 1--WE shall
be satisfied when we meet with Him
in glory"
Immediately following the sermon
the following deacons were ordained:
Archibald Hodge, Frederick R. Hamil-
ton, Ollie c. Hayes, John F. Baggett,
Sam H. Park, Elba H. Lantz, 5 Y.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS
DURING THE PAST
SEVERAL MONTHS
SIDEWALKS HAVE BEEN PUT IN,
STREETS REPAIRED AND SEW.
ERAGE INSTALLED.
Work Has Been In Progress Since in
July and Has Added Much to the
Appearances as Well as the Con-
venence and Comfort.

The new walk on Garden street
alongside the new buildings between
Seventh and Eighth streets is open
and is great convenience. Dobbins
& Ewing are in their new annex,
where they will continue until the
completion of the main building fac
ing on Seventh street, the under TAX
ing parlors down that way and the
residences all make it an important
walk.
This is only a portion of the work
that has been done on the streets and
walks by the committee during the
past three months. Concrete walk
has been placed along the east side of
Main street between Ninth and
Tenth streets, also for a considerable
distance on the west side of the same
street, and the streets have been re-
paired and the cutters cleaned out.
Concrete walk has been placed on
the east side of Garden street beyond
Ninth in addition to that mentioned
above. The curbing has been
strengthened and the streets repaired
several blocks, beginning near Ninth
street, and the cutters cleaned out
and put in good condition.
Walks have been put in other plac-
es about the city and much has been
done to improve the streets and
walks. Sewerage has been put in
where it would be of the greatest
good to the greatest number wheney-
er the funds were available, and much
progress has been made in the i'm.
|provement of the city in the way Of
walks, streets and sewerage.

This has been one of the most ia

One dealer said this morning that
he had received more than twenty
gallons from one person in the Theta
section and that others brought IN al
most similar amounts, while he was
just in receipt of ten gallons from
Lewisburg. The nuts are selling at
only so cents per gallon at retail, and
it seems that there is not much mar

would not be shipped here The deal.
ers think that after frost they can be
bought at much lower price than SO

The nuts are also nice, large and
clean and are not infested with as
many worms and have less bad ones
than usual. 1t is thought the long
dry spell while they were maturing
affected them as to this.
