Our school is progressing very
satisfactorily. The enrolment
is now over ninty, with prospects
of it reaching one hundred the
coming week, which will close
the first month, and is review
week.
The ladies of the community,
as well as the older pupils, were
entertained and instructed by
Miss Ogden, of Knoxville. on
consideration of feed in the home
also gave very instructive de-
monstration in canning.
Miss Ogden lays especial stress
on perfect sterilization of cans,
tops and rubbers as well as the
sanitary handling of the pro-
ducts to be canned.
Miss Ogden finds it very hard
to give satisfactory talks and de-
monstrations. when her time is
so limited, as it was at this
place. Being anxious to put the
important points into one talk.
what she usually gives in three
demonstrations. But she urged
the ladies to make good use of
the Bulletins. which are free for
the asking.

Pickett Has Preliminary Trial: Is Now In
Custody of Juvenile Court

that knife or III knock your d.
brains out He kept crowding
me toward a press and got me by
the coat collar. / could have cut
him then if l had wanted to, but
i did not want to hurt him. Next
he grabbed and Rugged me up
against him, pulling my arm down
and squeezing my hand IN which
l had the knife between u.s.
made no stab at him and his
jerking me up against him must
have caused the knife to cut
him.
Several times the boy stated
the killing was unintentional.-
The evidence also further show
ed that Singleton had at least On
three former occasions mistreat-
ed and teased Pickett, who was
both smaller and younger.
Pickett was 10 years old on
the 4th day of May.
] The mother of Singleton testi-
fled that her son, the dead boy,
was born Aug. Is, 1900; had
been married. She asked him
after he was stabbed what caus-
ed the trouble and he answered
nothing" The heart-broken
mother then exhibited the Grim
son stained shirt and showed
where the knife pierced the gar
ment.
| Only one witness testified to
over-hearing any particular cause
or start of the trouble, other than
that mentioned. Chas. Mcdaniel
said he heard them towering
over soc in a watch trade" But
the major portion Of the testimony
tended to establish the fact
that Singleton was the agressor
and his teasing brought ON the
trouble.
/ Three ladies of the Episcopal
| Sunday school testified that Jes-
Isle attended their Sunday school
and was a well behaved boy. Con.
Isidering his environments, his
character was fairly good.
i 1t was also the concensus of
opinion that the killing was not
only one of sef-defense, but
very probable the result Of Sim
gletons own act; that in pull
ing Pickett up against him, he
actually supplied the force that
caused the knife to penetrate his
breast, causing his death. At the
same time, the court could not
hold the crime as one purely &C
cidental, as the defendant was
delinquent" In a legal sense.
| The disposal of the case Is doubt
less fair and just; and it should
serve as a warning to other boya
who may be inclined to settle diff
ferences In such q manner, -
well as to those inclined to inn
pose on their smaller fellows
