GIVES WORTHLESS CHECKS
Woman Buys Jewe!ry With Bogus
Checks at Nashville.

Notwithstanding to informa.
ton given, Mrs. Charlotte B. Under,
the young woman arrested on charge
of passing worthless checks on jewel
ers to secure diamonds. on which she
later attempted to secure loan Of
money from realty dealer, is the
daughter of wealthy Memphis lum-
herman.
Mrs. Under visited the jewelry
stores of Weinstein Bros, d. Lowen-
helm & Co., N. B. Shyer and j. H..
Ring & Sons, where she purchased
three diamond rings, diamond brooch
and a watch. She presented checks
which a few hours later were found to
be worthless, so it is alleged. Later,
after securing the Jewelry, in company
with ]. r. Allen, justice of the peace,
who said he had known her from child
hood, she visited j. T. Lindsey and
arrangements were made for a loan,
when the arrest was made. 1t was
through the Justices efforts that the
loan was to be made. Mrs. Under
claimed that she wanted the money to
enter business and it was supposed at
the time that the jewelry was her
property.
While in Nashville she had been
employed at the city laboratory, and
said that she was going to take up
teaching. She was given prelim-
mary hearing in the police court. To
all with whom she came in contact
while here she had named Memphis as
her home city, but nothing had been
heard from her people, although COM
munications were sent.

NO DRINK. MORE GROCERIES.

A temperance city means marked
increase in the grocery trade, says the
Nashville (Tenn) Banner. Such is
the consensus of opinion among the
larger stores; and to a majority of
the small establishments in the resi-
Dental districts the change has meant
much more prosperity than the open
saloon allowed them. Credit accounts,
long overdue. paid up, more cash pay
ments and larger trade in the staples
is the record since the passing of the
saloon. When questioned. only those
who had maintained saloon annexes
in connection with their grocery stores
bemoaned the passing Of the saloon,
and even they admitted that the
change had meant more grocery bust
ness. The remainder were emphatic
In their declarations that the closing
of the drink shops had meant so much
to them that they would fight their
return with all vigor.
