MURRAY CONTEMPT CASE
MAY COME UP ( MONDAY

DALTON, Ca, Feb. 1.-THE famous
Murray county contempt case, in
which the members of the board Of
county commissioners and their attor-
ney, ] M. Sellars, we're jailed at
Chatsworth for their refusal to order
discontinuance of the advertisement
of the tax levy for the building of the
new courthouse in Chats worth, after
Judge Fite had granted an injunction
restraining them from making the
levy, will come up, in all probability,
for a complete rehearing next Monday
morning at Chatsworth.
After the supreme court had revers-
ed the lower court, and the commits
sioners and their attorney had breen
freed, attorneys for the plaintiffs filed
an amendment to the original petition,
and Judge F'ite allowed the amendment
setting the hearing for February H.
He stated at the time that it would
probably mean thorough investiga-
ton of all allegations in both the orig
inal and amended petitions, and the
answers of the defendants.
The amendment alleges in substance
that the board of commissioners made
-he levy knowing that an injunction
= ould be asked, and that, after they
we're served with notice of the injunc-
ton, they refused to order the ad
necessary to complete the
eyy discontinued

Churches of

Now Staging

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 11.-Following
the recent successful effort of an At
lanta church to produce regular
stage drama, local Sunday school
class is planning to give a vaudeville
entertainment.
OF course it will be polite vaude-

Zig circuits, and Erwin Sibley, who is
teacher of the class, will also be the
vaudeville director.
1t is the Alpha class Of the North
Avenue Presbyterian church. Modest
Molly will be the title of one of the
skits.
In the meantime the ministers of At

question of whether or not this COM

thing or bad thing.
Numbers of them are convinced that
they will have to do something to make
the churches more interesting.

THE CERTAINTY.

When am done with wandering
Along the roads of all the world,
When all the lure and fret of spring
And all the laughing winds that
swirled
About my path in younger days
No longer tempt me forth to share
The fortune of the wander ways,
The road will still be there, my son,
The road will still be there.
When 1 grow old and weak and frail
And only care for hearth and home,
When there's no glamour to the trail,
The magic trail I used to roam,
When snow-capped peaks nor heav-
ing sea
Nor ports and cities strange and
fair
Can bring a single thrill to me,
The trail will still be there, my son,
The trail will still be here.
For though the aged rovers sneer
That there is nothing strange or
new,
Youth finds each day new frontier
And wonders marvellous to view.
Still comes the call to men, in truth,
The urge to go-to do and dare;
Look in the burning heart Of Youth;
The wanderlust is there, my son,
and ever will be there!

charge Of violation of the city health

drivers out Of her yard. telling them
that they might carry the cans from
the privy to the carts. 1t was shown
at the trial that the ordinance gives
the carts the authority to enter upon
the premises Of citizens to get the
cans. or to make such disposition of
them and their contents. as the city
deems proper. She was given a SEN
