Trial of Alleged SIayers of
HightoWer Proceeds Slowly
at Dublin, Ga.

DUBLIN GA. Feb. THE trial of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Lynn, for the alleged
murder Of F. NJ. Hightower, a 70-year-
old man, is proceeding slowly in the
Laurens county superior court. The
state has about fifteen more witnesses
to offer in addition to the records made
from the photograph placed in the cells
of the two defendants.
juror becoming i'll today, it was
agreed by both sides and the court to
proceed with the trial with only eleven
jurors in the box.
The state today is seeking to estab-
lish that Hightower went to the Lynn
home in pursuance of a request from
Mrs. Lynn. A letter, written by her
was successfully introduced in the evil
dence. One sentence of this commu-
nication which was addressed to the
deceased, reads: Il need you in my
loneliness"
The states evidence also shows that
seven bullets were fired. Five entered
Hightower's head and two penetrated
his stomach. A negro farm hand tes-
titled that after he heard five shots he
saw Lynn run from the house, and that
two more shots were then fired.
Z Two attorneys are employed by High
towers relatives, assisting the state in
the prosecution. There is a great deal
of interest and the court room is crowd
ed with spectators.
1t is probable that both Mr. and Mrs.
Lynn will take the stand early tomor-

brush and draw it through your hair,

PARCEL posi- IMPROVEMENT.

-
Secretary Burleson made sensible
change in postal regulations when he
ordered that parcel post issues and or
binary stamps should be interchange
able. The purpose Of the distinctive
parcel stamps was, of course, mainly
to enable department officials to keep
a clear record of the new package
business in It's early stages. That was
the easiest way OF recording the vol
ume of parcel post business. All
doubts concerning the wisdom of es-
tablishing the new branch have disap-
peared. 1t is popular and generally
convenient It can be made more SO;
and the regulation permitting the in
discriminate use of stamps recognizes
that. The collect on delivery provi-
sion is a recent welcome addition.
Other changes are being contemplated
with reference to rates. Lower carry
ing charges will surely mean increases
in the volume of business handled by
the postoffice This will be fulfilling
the intent OF the law.

] am going to travel the road that goes
no the home of my boyish Joys anu
woes.
Ill pause and lean on the old front
gate
Where / loitered until the hour grew
late,
iAnd I'll strive to picture the misty
past
Where once / dreamed OF a future
vast.
One OF these days / will idly swing
Meath the spreading leaves where the
robins sing,
And I'll watch the grapes, as the hours
go by,
Drinking from earth and air and sky.
Imagination again will change
The place to region fair and strange;
/ will thrill at the monstrous shapes
which pass
Through the jungle depths of the
weeds and grass.
TIL see the elves in the leafy hooks,
The friends that met in the wonder
books,
And then. as weary. Il pause to hear
A song that is tender and sweet and
clear.
Sounding throughout 1t and above
is the exultation of mother love.
And perhaps with her voice will LIT,
my own
And find l am singing alone-alone!

Dave Brant in Iowa City Republi-
can: The meeting of the Southern
Iowa Editorial association at Keokuk
brought together the largest number
that has been at any meeting of the
association for several years. The
number OF women was unusually
large and some even brought the
children 1t was also one of the best
meetings ever held. The KeokuK
newspapers, the commercial and the
representatives of the power COM
pany did the entertaining in royal
style. The boys did not talk shop
very much, as the weather was hot
and there were too many side attrac.
tions. In fact there is dam site In
Keokuk to see. This is not said eth
er to be profane or funny. but be-
cause everybody who writes about
Keokuk is expected to make pun on
the dam and that is our contribu.
ton to the pun literature OF the sea-
son.

never get tired of talking about the
dam, and in fact 1t is big enough to
talk about all the year When city
gets its name tagged on to the great
est engineering feat Of history. it be-
comes some pumpkins. If Cedar Rap
ids, Waterloo or Fort Dodge had the
dam. the world would not be big
enough to contain the lucky city, but
down at Keokuk they seem to take
it as matter of course and some
seem to expect the dam to make
Keokuk a great city without much
local effort If we size up things
right, there is possibility that in
ten years other places will be using
the 100000 horse power produced by
the moving waters, and Keokuk will
be merely furnishing the motor pow
er. 1t was great surprise to hear
a bunch of men in Keokuk actually
kicking about the dam and the peo-
pie who built it. Keokuk may be the
1iyeliest city in Iowa, possibly, but If
it is, the newspaper men got no vision
of it. The city is improving some.
They have few if any empty houses
and are doing some building, but
there Is little visible evidence of any
thing much doing by Keokuk people.
Keokuk has as fine lot of people
as any city, and they are good enter
tainers, but we are discussing the
evidences of push and vim which
must be in any city IN overdose
quantities if anything much is done.
It is hoped that Keokuk will get a
move on itself and receive the results
which are its due. 1t needs number
of funerals before it will be in good
working order.
