CIRCUIT COURT ADJOURNS
AFTER A WEEK'S SESSION

Judge C. E. Snodgrass adj
jourhed the spring term of the
Smith county circuit court last
Saturday after a weeks session.
The case of Levie Thomas, by
next friends, against the Bilbrey-
WEIGH Spoke Co., for $40, 900
damage resulted in a mistrial,
six Of the jurymen favoring the
award of damages while seven
opposed. This suit grew out of
an accident which occurred to
young Thomas, who is only Is
years of age. while he was en-
gagged to run a spoke saw in the
defendants mill at Pleasant
Shade last June. 1t is claimed by
the plaintiff that it was negli-
gence on the part of the owners
of the mill in keeping the ma
chine in proper order that caused
the accident, in which the young
man lost all his fingures on the
left hand. The case will be
brought up for trial again at the
next term of court.
Another case which created a
great deal of interest was the
damage suit brought by j. 7.
Ash and wife against L. L. Bush
and wife. In this suit the plain
tiffs asked for $40, 600 damage
which was alleged to have been
done by Mrs. Bush making some
slanderous remarks about Mrs.
Ash. The defendants denied the
charges and the case was hard
fought by both sides. The jury
awarded the plaintiffs damages
to the. amount of six dollars and
taxed the defendants with all
the costs, with the exception of
the attendance fee of seven wit
nesses, which. amounted to
something like $500. The parties
to thesuit were formerly citizens
of the10th district, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ash having recently moved to
Waterkown. There were about
so witnesses examined during
the trail which consumed three
days. Mrs. Ash is a sister to
Mr.. Bush.

Carthage batters were complete
~ at the mercy of Lancaster.
In only two instances was Cor

FORD PURCHASERS SURE
TO GET $4,000 REBATE


From the report of the Ford
Morton Car Company. to the
effect that the total number of
Ford cars sold from August 1st,
1914 to May the 9Th. 1915 in-
elusive, is 210433, and within the
last two months there have been
made and shipped 9O358 cars, it
is mathematically certain that
all Ford car purchasers will get
their rebate of 5000. This
enormous output will insure the
completion of the 100000 within
the next few weeks. Now is the
time for those in contemplation
of buying Ford to make the
purchase, and thereby save $780,
90. The Beasley Auto Co., of
Dixon Springs, is doing a big
business all over the county, and
is ready to take your order be-
fore the expiration of the rebate
date.
