Greenyille, KY, April l9-The I'M
compromising attitude of Circuit

sum Hunters" who once infested
Muhlenberg county, was demon
strated at Greenville Tuesday when
Judge Rhea discharged Hugh Gish
from the grand jury and ordered the
other grand jurors to investigate Mr..
Gish because the latter admitted that
he belonged to the "Possum Hun
ters." Gish is prominent farmer Of
the Gishton neighborhood.
Judge Rhea impaneled his grand
jury and suddenly asked Mr.. Gish if
he did not belong to the '..Possum
Hunters" Gish replied that ne had
taken the "Possum Hunter" obliga-
ton. Judge Rhea Immediately dis
charged him from the grand jury and
swore in another man. Then the
court called upon the grand jurors to
pay particular attention to the case of
Mr.. Gish, and if it could be shown
that he took any part in the possum
hunter activity, to indict him without
fear or favor.

Friuht Not cowardice.

There is a state of mind which Is
about half way between educational
fear and cowardly fear 1t is generally
excusable. For instance the fear OF
excruciating pain in the dentists chair.
True. this old fear has been of great
value in that much of the old. painful
ways have been abolished. But so
powerful are early impressions and ex-
periences-especially during Adde'S
cence-that many middle-aged persons
who were tortured by dentists when
young become frightened at the
thought of again sitting in the chair of
agony. Only by a new experience can
this real fright, not real cowardice, be
cast out OF the mind.
