Although J. L. Thomas, Liberty
truck driver. charged with violation
of the state road ordinance, appeared
in Union circuit court with an attor-

Thomas said that he expected to fight
the case. He has secured legal aid.

that he had expected to be arrested
in this city after failure Of the Union
county authorities to prosecute yester-
day.
With the exception of the Lynn and
Union City trucks all bus lines were in

COUNTY TO EMPLOY
ANOTHER JAN|TOR

M. D. Doddridge, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, said
today that in many respects the work
of the county prisoners at the court
house is unsatisfactory. The county
commissioners, he said, will hire an
other janitor to work in any part of
the bulldog under the direction of
Lindley Swain, the head janitor.
"a few of the prisoners are good
workers but most of them stand
around and are in the road" said Mr.
Doddridge. 1--WE want some one to help
in the work who is responsible"
The prisoners at the Jail are not I'M
willing to work at the court house for
it means partial freedom for them. Be
cause it is impossible to have them
all working at the same job, they are
scattered in different parts of the
court house and consequently cannot
be guarded.

HEAVY EGG SUPPLY
KEEPS PRICES DOWN

An unusually heavy supply of eggs
for this time of season is announced
by grocers. The price, too, they say,
ranges from four to eight cents lower
than the usual cost in February
The unusually large number of eggs
is attributed by grocers to the mod
crate winter weather which has pre-
vailed. The cold speels apparently
had no effect on the supply.
Eggs are now retailing at 2S cents
a dozen while the usual price during
this month is 35 cents dozen. Gro
GERS do not anticipate further de-
crease in the price until April.
