DON'T BEAT YOUR BOARDING

says: Last fall fellow giving the
name of Goodman came here with an
alleged SHOW" and got board. with
Mrs. William Crawford. When the
show left he seemed to like his board

stayed on for some time and gradual

he owed Mrs. Crawford some SIS.
Then he concluded to hunt a new
boarding house, and went to Maysville
where he remained for some weeks.
Finally he came back to this city
few days ago and was arrested on a
charge of jumping his board bill. On
his trial in Judge Fulton's Court he
was given $25 fine and 25 days in Jail
with hard labor clause attached He
evidently wished to show that there's
