Of the women up there that you some
times meet in places where the temp
tation for their men-creatures are more
glaring and taken for granted.
A drunken man and a woman of the
streets, are two curiosities on the
streets at DeFuniak, and the sweet,
clean wholesome housekeeping spirit
is sturdily building a people and d
county that cannot but endure.
In Conclusion.

serving to make DeFuniak a place
whose "friendliness' system should
prove a lesson almost everywhere be-

ed to acquit and lost To do this
they had to rest their case because
of the working of the Massachusetts

However, they are aiding Atteaux's

can. They believe that if AtteauX can
explain the allegations against him
self naturally this will benefit Woods
