Juror Who Tried
 Jefferson Davis.

Editor Spectator::-I wish to call your attention to a piece of misrepresentation going the rounds of the Northern press, and appearing in the current issue of Leslie's Illustrated Weekly which certainly is bet ter informed. The article is headed, Juror Who Tried Jef- ferson Davis, Weds, and in the body of the article, says he, the juror, was foreman of the jury that tried Davis for treason.
 Now the editor of Leslie's knows that Jefferson Davis never was tried for treason nor any other act. He was indicted it is true, and kept in prison for two years or more, but as he had never committed treason, for secession was not a violation of the constitution. The United States had no case against him and finally quashed the indict- ment.
 Now, the Northern press knows this and it shows very small spirit in them to show their hatred against the South at this late day by publishing falsehoods about our late Presi- dent.

He is said to have told a pitiful story to the church members saying that he was driven to robbery because of hunger and poverty. It was his first offense.
 "I have nothing whatever to say, replied the Rev. Baird when asked about the attempted holdup last night.
 According to the statement of others who witnessed the affair the man repented after the Rev. Baird offered a prayer for him. He has been forgiven and is now leading a Christian life. The churchmen are giving him a helping hand instead of trying to send him to prison. The name of the man is kept a secret.
 When this man first entered the church the Rev. Baird start ed to shake hands with him. He quickly ordered the pastor to put up his hands. Others pres ent surrounded the man, disarm- | ing him. Muskogee Daily.

Honors Ozark Guest

Mrs. Harry Rust gave a lunch con on Monday in honor of Miss Sula Fleeman, of Ozark, Ark, who is the guest of Mrs. Fears. At one o'clock the guests were invited into the dining room where covers were laid for six. The table was decorated with baskets filled with bright red apples with huge bows of red maline on the handles. At each place was a tiny nut basket de- corated in the same manner. and a red candle in fancy flower holder burned at each plate. The place cards were tiny scar let hatchets of original design. Four dainty courses. further carrying out the idea in red and white, were served by the hos tess sister. Miss Guthrie. The afternoon was spent with fancy work. The guests were, Mes danes Whybark, L. c. Clark, Porter. Barnes and Miss Flee man. -Eufaula Democrat.
 A man is poor when he has lost the confidence of his friends, when the people who are near est to him do not believe in him; when his character is honey combed with deceit and punctur- ed by dishonesty. He is poor when he makes money at the expense of his character, when he does not stand clear cut, su- preme in his ideal. When this clouded, he is in danger of the worst kind of poverty. To be in the poor house is not necessarily to be poor. If you have main tained your integrity, if your character stands forth clear in the world, if you have never bent the knee of principle to avarice, you are not poor, though you may be compelled to beg bread.
