TIE famous Cumberland mountain
villa hog law suit styled Frank Simp-
son VS.. Ike Layne, J. W. Morrison
ami ". H. White. attorneys for stat3
and Simpson. and w. E. McCurry, at
torney for defendent, resulted in a
verdict of acquital of defendent. W..
E. McCurry won out this noted case
after "a. full half a days hard battle
with White AM Morrison for the
State. White is quoted as saying that
McCurry had handful of trumps ond
played highlow jack in the game, and
was fully entitled to feather to be
stuck in his cap. He succeeded in
getting the honor of defeating the two
state attorneys, which l will confess
was due him. Will is good boy
and No. attorney, when it comes
to showdown in hog law suit.
We have three avowed candidates
up here on the democratic ticket,
James Hooper, btother to the former
democratic nominee who ran on the
democratic ticket few years back,
Lee Hooper The next one to appear
is Matt Griffith, a staunch democrat
of the old type never known to bolt,
and has been tried in the fiery furn-
ace. The last one to speak out is the
noted stable boss of the T. G. /. Co.,
Ben Havron, who is said to be some
democrat himself. He is pretty well
known in the county of Marion and is
said to be a Jeffersonian democrat OF
the deepest dye. Oh, ye generations
of republicans, l warn We in time as
one Of your flock, to keep your eyes
skinned and sleep with one eye open
both day and night from now on.
