CHILD GIVEN BACK TO
MOTHER BY SQUIRE

On Monday afternoon stalwart
citizen of Elizabethton appeared in
the Office of w. C. Pierce, Esq,
and demanded states warrant for a
certain woman, who, according to
the story of the Elizabethton citizen,
had decoyed or lead away from his
home certain child which he had
kept and trained for some time.
The affiant EMPLOYED Attorney
]. K. Gardner to represent him in
the matter and the woman accom-
panied by the child and knightly
old gentleman appeared in the
Justices court, and when the state
had presented its cause, then the
woman told her story; it was short,
simple and patriotic. As the little
child couched by its mothers side,
the simple woman told how in
needy and adverse circumstances she
had parted with her child and allow
ed it to be placed into the care and
custody of the stalwart man into
whose strong face she gazed with
tear-dimed eyes, she told how she
had dreamed and sgied for her
child, how her soul had longed and
her heart had ached to claim her
own child once more, then she told
how the child had begged and cried
to be with its own mother and how
she had carried him to her own
humble home and cared for him as
best she could.
Then the tremulous voice of the
aged man was heard in the court
room and he said that he knew the
woman well, that her story was true
and that her cause was just.
NJ owed by the simple story of the
poor woman, and touched by the
words of the gallant veteran, the at
torney began to speak, not for the
state, but for the simple woman and
the innocent child; he babe the
court to release the woman and bind
up the broken heart of the child,
and the court said Woman go thy
way and take with you your own
son, to comfort you in your declining
years."
The old man babe the lawyer and |
he court an afectionate farewell |
and as he went away he murmured, |
That is the typocal Am erican mar
hood, it is the chivalry and knight
hood that the world will ever love
md honor" and now the lawyer
md the judge may rejoice for they

DON'T SPIT ON THE FLOOR

We are not in position tt
preach on the use and abuse OF to-
bacco, therefore we do not preach
But this article is not on the subject
of tobacco, so we will confine oul
sermon to our text. Our text Is
one familiar to every human who
can read, and is found posted in con-
spicuous places all over our country
from out.back- alley dives to our tenn
pies of Justice, in letters so large
that even he who runs may read,
Don't Spit on the Floor" 1t is
not our intention to make gener-
al dissertation on the subject of our
text, but rather to confine our few
remarks to that portion of the pic
ture which contains the blacklist
daub; and it is a disgrace to the
people of the country to have it said
as true; more pantalooned pigs eject
their surplus tobacco juice on the
floor of our court houses than on
any other portion of the earth or
house builded thereon. Why I!
Search me. Why is the temple OF
Justice the place where wrongs are
meant to be righted, the cradle
wherein is born our liberty, the
home wherein are nourished our
rights, SO foul and filthy with that
which no man would allow on the
floor of his lumber room What
kind of custom is it that imposes a
fine on one who expectorates on
the side walk, and pays no attention
when he pushes the cuspidor out of
the way while sitting on jury, in
order that he may spit pn the dusty
board floor. Law and religion are
twin sisters. Why not sit in your
pew some Sunday with a plug of
natural twist, and sprinkle the car
pet in the aisle every few minutes
during the sermon : If we do build
that court house here, let's don't
put marble columns on the front,
but take the money they would
cost, and hire big man to stand in
side during court with club, and
make him use it on any man who
chews tobacco during court and
don't swallow the juice.

him who was on the roll. "Good Gee
