CLIPPINGS FROM THE

In order to correct an erroneous
impression, we desire TO state that
while the editor Of the Torchlight,
Colonel John Plunkett, who is rs,
and justice Of the peace Of Snag-
town township, who is us, was
examining Colonel Harry Myers,
editor Of the Coon Holler Index,
said Myers attempted to lower the
dignity Of the court by addressing
Colonel Plunkett as "Jack." We
warned him that he must say
"your Honor" and threatened to
fine him for contempt. The afore-
said Myers replied: "Tll be burned
if You do. You and me were boys
together, Jack, and because you've
riz so high is no reason You
should fan so hard on me-" In
order to preserve the dignity of
the court, we were compelled to fine
him. In next weeks issue Of the
Index we expect to be cEawed up
and spit out, but the dignity Of the
court must be upheld.
