striking Healey, but said that it was

cording to Bubar's story, Healey in
sisted upon going home with a young

pany her home from local place of

ficient force to knock him down. Ac-
cording to his story it was Bubar who
was the intruder the latter insisting
upon accompanying the young lady
home in spite of her protests. The
case was continued for sentence.

CIRCUIT COURT IN
 SESSION IN MACON
Much Business Still Unclcared at Tus- kegee-C0unty Fair Opens
 Next Tuesday

Tuskesee. October 26.- -(Special. r-Cir- cult court has been in session for [. c past two weeks in Macon county. and much business has been transacted. But, with all this, the docket still remains un- cleared, and there are many inmates of the county jail. But for the county fair. which opens here next Tuesday, Judge Brewer would probably continue the ses- sion of court through next week.
 The buildings at the fair grounds have been remodeled and enlarged and the fair officials are encouraged with the pros. poets of many choice exhibits. Many of the best attractions have been secured for the week, and no pains nor expense have been spared In preparing for the entertainment and education of the peo. pie.
 The rapid. growth Of stock raising. and the greatly increased diversihcation of farm products in the county is largely due to these exhibits at the sair. and the enrichment of the county's resources fully repay those who make sacrifices for the fairs success.
