Martin, colored, drove over to Tip
ton to enjoy the hospitality of that
wide-open town. After having a
good time, (2) being loaded to the
neck, and an extra supply for the
journey home, they started for YER
%sAilles, but the horses took the wrong
road, and along about 5 O'Clock Sum-
day morning they found themselves
in the ancient city of Syracuse.
Here they picked up another partner,
and soon had him also loaded up,
and again started for Versailles. Just
outside of the city they became rath-
er noisy and profane, and the farmer,
wnose peace they disturbed lodged a
complaint before Squire Shenkel, who
sem constable Hull over Monday
after the trio, and he had them before
his honor for trial Tuesday. They
wanted TO plead guilty owe the

ing boozc is a poor business. 1t
costs money, ruins regulations, brings
sorrow and misery to family and
friends, and then that head the next
morning. Better cut it out.
At the trial Tuesday the verdict
was guilty, and fined $I.00 and costs,
amounting to $1,000 each. Con-
stable Hull brought the gang back to
Versailles Wednesday, and as we
close our forms a hunt for thu neces-

Got In Easy.

At a recent meeting Of the Masonic
Lodge DR.. p. g.. Woods raised OBJ.
jections to the incongruous, ill-assort-
ed. unartistic display of rugs, which
tortured his sense of the beautiful and
appropriate, and no wonder, for it
was a very badly mixed display Of all
sorts, sizes, kinds, colors and mater
ials. The DR.. got into the game
easy, being appointed a committee
OF one to select suitable rugs, which
he did to the satisfaction OF the breth-
rem. But the DIR. is nothing, if not
thorough. so while at it he had the
entire premises thoroughly cleaned,
the vessels Of brass, silver and gold
thoroughly polished, the furniture
stamped, stained and engraved to
match the new rugs, and now the
hall is clean, artistic and homelike.
