A small boys composition on hens
reads as follows: Hens is curious ami
mails. They don't have no nose, nor no
ears. They swallow their vittels whole
and chew it up in their crops inside
'em. The out side of hens is generally
put into pliers ard feather busters
The inside of hens is sometimes filed
up with marbles, shirt buttons and
such. A hen is very much smaller than
good many other animals. but they
dig up more tomatoe plants than any
thing that haint hen, Hens is very
useful to lay eggs for plum pudding.
Shiny Bates ate SO much plum pud-
ding once that it set him into the col
lery. Hens has got wings and can fly
when they are started. cut my Uncle
Williams hens neck off and scairt her
to death. Hens sometimes make very
fine spring chickens.

When a man dies we notice that many
people have SO many good words to
say for him and perform in an ostenta-
tious manner many kind acts. His for
mer competitors in business atrend the
funeral and perform many kindly Off
ces for the dead, when he is fairly out
of the way Now if these kind words
were said when he was alive and pull
ing hard againt the stream, he would
have appreciated it more. But we have
noticed at funerals, men, who few
days or weeks before could not find
words mean enough to use against the
poor man IN the coffin. The kindly Off
ces after death are not appreciated by
the man in the box, and the folks at
the funeral only smile in their sleeves
and size yon up. Give your good works
when they are needed. Do your good
work when it will do good. Do not

DENIED 4 new TRIAL
Jesse Mosely's Case VIII Go to
the Supreme Court

Judge Harwood denied Jesse
Mosely a new trial last Saturday,
and his case was appealed to the
supreme court. Mosely was con
vieted the first week of the court
for killing Robert Hurt last Au-
gust in a quarrel during the pro-
gress OF a ball game, the young
men being members of opposing
teams. He was sentenced to eleven
years in the penitentiary. His
bondsmen had already surrendered
him and he will likely have to lie
ia jail to await the verdict of the
higher court.
This is a case where unrestrained
temper. and a failure Of those in
authority to apply the proper re-
straints at a time when it might
have started the boy on a different
and higher plane of thought and
action and likely would have pre-
vented this terrible tragedy and
results that have followed.

FAIL TO AGREE
Jury in Case of the State Against
J. B. Smith

The jury trying the case of J.
B. Smith. of Irrelevant, for way
laying the road and shooting Nor
man Leach, of the same place. last
September, failed to agree and the
case went over to the next term
of the court.
In this case it is alleged that
young Smith, who is only about
sixteen years old. the son of MIR,
and Mrs. John w. Smith, clever
citizens of the Irrelevant commun-
ity, waylaid the road, and when
Leach, who was hauling shingles
and had to pass near the Smith
home, came by, shot at him from
some bushes. Leach, at first, was
thought to be seriously hurt, but
soon recovered.
The young men quarreled be-
fore, the trouble first having its
origin in a crap game, a very
dangerous and unbecoming sport
for young men to engage in.

ALLEGED BARN BURNER
Luther Bramley Indicted and Ac-
cused of another Crime

About three weeks ago the barn
Of Miles Olvis, a tenant on the
farm Of S. G. Clark, near Whit
torne, was burned. Three horses
narrowly escaped being roasted
alive. A lot of corn, hay, fodder
and farming implements were
burned, the loss aggregating sew
eral hundred dollars, with no in
surance.
Luther Bramley, negro, and
near neighbor, was suspected as
being the incindiary, as it is said
he held some grudge against Olvis
and wife. 1t is said Bramley had
whipped his wife numerically and
she finally died. Olvis' wife and
a neighbor woman attended her in
her sickness, but she died, and in
shrouding her, they found that she
had been badly beaten and bruised.
They told it to the community,
which, it is alleged, aroused the i'll
will of Bramley toward Olvis and
wife. An indictment was returned
against Bramley. charging incin-
diarism, and he was arrested and
brought Jail to await trial in the
criminal court.

IRRELEVANT GETS ON
Met Saturday and Formed Drain.
age Association

The Irrelevant landowners are
becoming aroused on the drainage
question. A number of those in
terested met Saturday and organ
lied an association. H. 9. Smith,
city recorder, was elected presi-
dent, and w. G. Ware, easier OF
the Bank of Irrelevant, was elected
secretary. The question was dis
cussed at some length and another
meeting will be held soon.
There is a great deal of land in
the community Of Irrelevant that
could be made very valuable by
proper drainage, and the citizens
are doing right in determining
the cost and the probability OF
having the work done.

KILLED in PENTTENTIARY
Harrison James Shot to Death
by Prison Guards

Harrison james, who was serv-
ing a ffteen-year term in the state
prison for the killing of Galum
Humphrey, was shot to death by
guards at the penitentiary last Sat
urday night.
About ten days before the kill
ing James attempted to commit
suicide BY cutting his arm with a
knife he had secured from the har-
ness shop. He slashed his arm in
several places and also cut a cash
in his throat. He bled profuselS
and it was feared for while be
would die. His people who live
in the First district Of this county,
were notified of what he had done.
The latter part of last week
young James wife and his father
aud mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
James, visited him at the peniten-
tiary. They returned home Sat-
urday evening. Saturday night
the guards undertook, so we UNI
derstand, to put James in his cell
and he refused to go, and while
resisting the officers he was shot,
BY one Of them, and killed. His
remains were sent to Milan Mon
day and carried out to the home
of his father, and Tuesday they
were buried in the family burying
ground.
On July %, 1909, the dead
body of Galum Humphrey was
found in a thicket, in the First
district, with evidence of foul play.
Harrison James was suspicioned
of having killed him, was placed
under arrest and in July. 1910,
convicted Of murder in the second
degree and sent to the penitentiary
for fifteen years. The case was
carried to the supreme court and
affirmed. James had been in the
penitentiary nearly two years.

VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL
Lueien Simmons and Mrs. Cora
Freeman are Released

The jury in the case of the state
against Lucien Simmons and Mrs.
Cora Freeman, charged with the
killing OF Mrs. Freeman's husband,
w. 9. Freeman. brought in a YER
dict last Saturday morning of not
guilty.
The jury had been out about
twenty four hours and had reported
several times that they could not
agree 1t was generally under
stood that the jury was so badly
hung that no agreement would be
reached But they came in for
some further instruction on the
note it was claimed Mr.. Freeman
wrote, in which he stated he was
going to take his life, and was
later found in the store, and in a
few minutes after receiving this
instruction they returned with
their verdict.
This note had much to do with
turning the defendants loose. It
largely counteracted. the effect Of
the letters they wrote each other,
which were intercepted by the
sheriff and were read as evidence.
These letters contained damaging
statements and were full of ex-
pressions of love and affections of
the baser sort.
1t has been many years since a
trial has created more interest and
drew larger crowds. The circuit
court room was crowded all the
time. The attorneys fought hard
and made fine speeches. The state
was represented by Attorney-Gen-
eral Rye and George T. Mccall,
and the defense by John T. Peeler,
John r. Bond, L. A. Hurt and j.
R. Presson. Mr.. Presson did not
speak.
The jury was at first very much
divided. The first ballot stood
seven for acquittal and five for
conviction. The fourth ballot
stood the same way, but the re-
ballots there were only
three and four for conviction.
They were acquitted on the sew
enth ballot.
The following parties constituted
the jury: Charles Eubanks, Fl.
A. Horn, G. r. Hampton, L. B.
Walker, 5. w. Cook. 7. r. Reed,
John Newman, j. T. Moore, E.
O. Bond, +, A. Horton, G. w.
Woods, George Jones; officers, L.
A. Moody and Lon Rust.
Following is the note which is
claimed to have been found by
Mrs. Freeman in the store nearly
three months after the killing:
Cora, when | am gone you will
know why | take my own life. |
know | have done you wrong, but
that is not all my trouble. I had
rather die than live and you will
often think OF me. Do the best
you can. WILLIE.
