 TURF COUNTERFEITERS
Marshall Stubblefield and Constable Cummings Arrest Negro at BOughton and White Man
 Counterfeiting Charge

Marshall John Stubblefeld and Constable Kirk Cummins yesterday arrested James Hudson, a negro, and Grayson Cowlard, white, on charges of counterfeiting and attempting to pass counterfeit money
 E. Delaughter, merchant at Bough- ton, yesterday telephoned to the of ficers, stating that the negro, Hudson was endeavoring to pass counterfeit dollars. When arrested Hudson stat ed he had received the money from Cowlard at negro supper near Boughton last night Cowlard was arrested at his home, three mile } north of here, and denies having, made counterfeit money, but states the money given him by him to Hud- son was received from w. A. Huff, dairyman, residing near Prescott.
 The officers searched yhe house oc- cupied by Coward and were unable to locate any dies, but allege they found quantities of babbitt, brass and other metals and shavings of such metals on the floor. In the house was a large flat piece of iron and a huge vice.
 Cowlard is 3S years old, married and has two small children. Hudson, one~legged negro, several years ago served a term in the pententiary on charge of burglary and grand lar ceny. Huff, the dairyman, is a re spected citizen and officers are of the opinion that he knows nothing of the affair.
 Cowland had chargeof the railroad pumps at Boughton. So far as car be learned he was never before charged with violating the law
 The counterfeit dollars taken from the negro are good limitations.

% FUTURE OF THE DRINkER.

Whats to become of the thinker? The railroads don't want him. From the humblest job to the highest there is no place for him. He is not wanted for any important position either civil or military; he cannot be elected to any high office within the gift of the people; the banks do not want him; the wholesaler does not want him. the farmer has no use for him. Who wants the thinker?
 The penitentiary, the insane asylum, the inebriate asylum the almshouse may receive him in due course of time. but who would aim to fit himself for such future as these institutions rep resent? Whats to become of the drinker? It is a question to which the youth of today may well give some serious thought-Union Signal.
