ed criminal cases and White is attorn-
ey for all the civil cases. White is
quoted as saying he wouldn't get to
cut any hay or pull any fodder the
coming week as the bull had jumped
out and the old family boss had run
away and these Cumberland mountain
wild hog law suits had started and the
j. P. courts had convened, and he
didn't expect the courts docket would
be clear of these wild hog suits befoie
December, There is bushels and bush
els of fun going to be exhibited along
this line before the final termination
of all this class of law suits
"This here near beer business up
here" so young man hands out to
me, is now becoming public nuis-
ance in the way of drawing butcher
knives and pistols on the citizens of
the town. He reported he got them
drawn on him in near beer stand on
the side Of the mountain. l think.the
best move possible for us is to send
around fee to that Franklin County
lady and have her run over here and
strike it as mighty an earthquake as
she did that dive over in our neighbor
county. Law sakes alive If that was
mt master piece of bravery. Old
Dewey or Hobson, in all their daring
exploits, never equalled that perform
ance. wish we had three or four
women with the nerve she has over in
old Marion. Wouldn't things get
right9 Yes, they would have to run
sideways to keep from flying.
There will be several aspirants for
the Sheriff Office this next race. We
have two already spoken of in the up
per end of the county.
We don't want to ask too much of
the political pie, but only reasonable
slice of recognition. All lobbys and
combinations and whiskey soakeis and
ring boodlers and whiskey vote buyers
will be strictly clipped out, and put
off of the political band wagon. The
temperance and prohibition element
will get clip at you this time. Whis-
key won't work with them.
| don't want to come out and say |
that this base ball business is about to |
become national evil, but do say |
that the way and manner it is con-
oo1 oorr;oJ on in Soma MARTA |
of the upper end of Marion county on
the holy Sabbath day from early in
the morning until late in the after
noon, and in some instances breaking
up in a general row with a pistols and
brass knucks in the pockets of few
toughs, is beyond shadow of doubt
becoming public nuisance up here. l
Ion & condemn nor throw this para
graph at other parts of the county that
play ball in a legitimate way and
lon't play on Sunday and whoop and
,ell like wild Indians. Another vely
)ad thing to be carried on by the
young lads on Sunday is for whole
leighborhood of young men and boys
xgaging in playing cards and pitch
ng. horseshoes. This is another nuis-
nee which the parents of these young
nen ought to shut down on. l say
UGH games as these, carried on in a
ublic place near church houses and
Their public places on Sunday are pub
ic nuisances and the perpetrators are
ubject to an indictment before the
rand jury. Representative.
