torney H. A. Wilkinson is there as
one of the lawyers for the prosecu-
ton in the case of Childers.
ChiIders Indicted.
1t was learned late Monday after
noon when the first session of the
Lee county grand jury had closed,
and upon excellent authority, that an
indictment had been returned against
Maud Childers, charging him with
the murder of his wife. From the
same source it was learned that no
bill of Indictment had thus far been
brought against Robert Kennedy.
Little surprise was manifested
when it was learned that an indict-
ment had been returned against Chill
deTs, as it had been supposed from
the beginning that such would be the
outcome of the matter as regards
ChildeTs.
Opinion is divided concerning the
probable Indictment of Kennedy.
Some claim that the solicitor general
will make no move to bring a bill
of Indictment against him, while 9TH
ers hold that as a matter of settling
for all time the case in dispute the
solicitor should likewise indict Ken
nedy, and thereby allow both cases
to be brought to final settlement be-
fore a trial jury at this session of the
court.

THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
1t Was One of the Most Interesting
and Inspiring Departments of
the County Fair,

In the hurry of getting copy to
the printers for last weeks issue of
The News some omissions and an
error or two were unavoidable in
giving details of the fair, and we re-
greet that notice of the educational
department was misplaced so that
no mention of that important part
of the fair appeared. The reporter
was more impressed with the educa-
tional exhibit than with any other
feature, as it represented the intel
lectual development, which means
more to the community than the
growing Of fine crops, as important
as is that industry. Mrs. w. H.
Gurr, chairman of the educational
department, seemed to know intui-
lively how to classify her splendid
collections so as to at once awaken
keen interest and command close at
tention, and the visitors were epa-
| bled in the short time allotted to
| get an insight into the work of the
schools. The different displays show
/ ed with what intelligence and earn
| estness the teachers are addressing
! themselves to the great problem of
the proper training of the youth of
this section, and it was gratifying
to note that the schools of Terrell
| county are abreast of the times, en-
/ gagged in truly educational work,
showing a high degree of proficiency
and specialization. Mrs. Gurr and
her capable committee of teachers
made fine showing for the schools
The decorations in national colors
were peculiarly appropriate and eff
fect1ve. The prize list was given in
last weeks News, but we are glad
TO make the following corrections as
to names: For the best map of Ter
rell county frankie Grimes instead
of Kathleen Grimes carried off the
prize, and for the best reading by a
nigh school girl the prize was award
ed TO Marian Jennings and not Mari
an Jernigan, as printed.
Mr.. Curt Wunderlich's skill as a
decorator was recognized at the re-
cent fair, his work carrying off two

7. S. & G. B. Martin, and designed

THE CHILDERS- KENNEDY CASE
SENSATIONAL TRIALS SCHEDUL-
ED AT LEESBURG THIS WEEK.
Two Men, Each Prosecuting the 9th
err, Must Face jury on Charge OF
Poisoning Mrs. Childers.

Public interest in this section OF
the state is centeTed at Leesburg TINS
week, where Lee county superior
court is in session and the trials Of
Robert Kennedy, formerly of Terrell
county, and Maud S. Childers on the
charge of having poisoned the latter S
wife with stryChnine at SmithVllle are
expected to occur. Each of the men
are trying to fasten the crime on the
other, and each of them was held
without bail by different committal
courts.
For nearly two months Kennedy
and Childers have occupied steel
cages in the Lee county jail awaiting
the session of court that convened
Monday morning. Hundreds of peo-
pie are on the scene daily, and inter-
est is intense.
The sensational facts leading up
to the arrest of Childers and Kenne-
dy were given in full in The News at
the time. Since their incarceration
no other evidence, so far as known,
has been discovered. At the time
they were bound over it was general
ly known and believed that only bare
suspicion pointed to the possible guilt
of either defendant, and if nothing
stronger is brought out before the
court the celebrated case may be
quickly terminated. If there is any
new evidence against either Kennedy
or Childers the public knows nothing
of it.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of Mrs Childers, a young wife
OF six months, are we'll remembered.
Unknown hands placed strychnine in
a phial of salhepatica from which she
had taken several doses, and which
was kept upon the sideboard in the
dining room of the little village
boarding house in Smithville.
A large number of people from
Dawson are attending the court,
some of them as witnesses, and At

CREAToRE's BAND NOV. 18th.
Famous Organization Will Be at the
Opera House Tuesday Night.

Famous Organization Will Be at the
Opera House Tuesday Night.
In speaking of Creatore and his
band the New York World gives the
following: "Creatore's Italian band
received the most remarkable ovation
ever accorded like organization by
any audience in this city. At the
close of the first selection it was evil
dent to every person present that the
band had made the biggest hit of
the season There was salvo after
salvo of applause, and people actu-
ally threw their hats in the air"
All those who read the following
notice from the Chicago Tribune will
appreciate the treat in store for the
people when Creatore's band appears
in Dawson: Take the fiery Italian
musical temperament and intensity it
until it becomes an electric battery
and the product in human form will
be Creatore. 1t is claimed that Gre
atore hypnotizes both his band and
his hearers. There is no going to
sleep, no gossiping when he is at the
desk. He grips you and holds you,
and when he let's you loose you won
der whether you've had a good time
or not; and after you have concluded
that you have, and want some more
of it, you begin to marvel at his en-
durance. Tone is the wireless me-
dunn he uses to reach you, but the
current he sends out to you is his
own intense individuality, and you
feel it and obey it just as unresisting-
ly as his men. When Creatore
stands over his men they do things
almost incredible"
Creatore will be at Fargasons
Opera House Tuesday night, Nov
14th. Seats on sale at Peoples Drug
Store five days in advance.
