OF COLOR
IN POLICE COURT
HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS WERE
PLENTIFUL AT THE CITY
HALL YESTERDAY.

True with. the sentiment of Hallow
cen, cats, nuts and personal decora-
lions played their parts IN local pc
lice court yesterday morning.
Mamie Earl. who is descenden!
of a fabulous race of female warriors
in Scythia, objected to Lizzie Wash.
ington, who is a tall, strong. maseu-
line woman and perfect dark virago
having her pet cat cross the line
which divides their homes and as
result the colored population Of norlh
Brupnswick was much wrought up
Lizzie struck Mamie with u stick
which had a splinter in it and Mamie
retaliated with harsh remark which
served 10 injure the entire Washing
ton family.
The debate would be in progress
yet had not presiding judge Log. rs
called a halt and fined eacls lts .e
Amazon beauties $500.
Ruby ST. Justice, another .sti!sky
belle Of Brunswick. was fined $S.oc
for using profane language because :,
as she stated, white man purloined
her brothers necktie, q thing %
tempting red hues, from the back OF
rocking chair One white witness,
passerby, testified that Ruby was
making the air blue with oaths and
might have added more color to the
scene if the pistol which she held,
forth contained any ammunition. )
E. S. Fennel, ct al, white man
and his brother, charged Lizzie and
George Hazlehurst, with prompting
him to use a stick when Lizzie, or.
someone else, refused to leave well
ladened pecan tree. The score of wit
nsses were all too well wound up for
Mayor Hopkins and as q consequence
he preferred that higher court, to
which the case was destined anyway.
should straighten out the difficulty.
J. c. Johnson, we'll known chauf-
feur in Brunswick, was brought be-
fore the court Tor exceeding the speed
limit, and after making a plea of up-
intentional offense the judge dismiss
ed him with a warning.
Thus closed the events for the most
whimsical holiday season of the year
