"As the twig lie bent so the tree in.

ror. Too little attention is paid to the
training Of street trees. Before the
winter season sets in they should be
deprived of top-heaviness so that when
the soil becomes softened by winter
rains the excessive top will not catch
enough wind to blow the trees over.
Over-heavy tops that receive the full

Jackson, Tenn, Jan. 20. The court

vile, against the city Of Brownsville,
that the mOoted question was presented
to the court. Considerable interest 10
legal circles here where the soft" drink
question has been continuously aeitated
for several years was created BY the
courts utterance. The court held that
the presumption Of the sale Of intOx.

that the liquors sold, although malt Ii.
quOrs, are not intoxicating. The suit
grew out OF the seizure and sale Of the

held that the town authorities have no
authority to issue distress warrant un.
