CIRCUIT COURT CLOSED.

Judge Slack adjourned court Fri
day, after only a five days session.
Considerable equity business was dis
posed of, but on account of the very
busy season with the farmers Judge
Slack thought it best not to hold the
farmers for jury service. Only three
jury trials were had. In one of these
Loretta Brown was awarded judy
ment against Delmer Evans on a
claim for borrowed money, and Ivory
Lynch was given a judgment against
the Illinois Central Railroad Company
for 5000 for assault by train en-
ploye while a passenger ON a train
of said company. In the case Of
Wesley Chapel Methodist church
against Floyd Keown, in a dispute
over the ownership of small strip
of land, the jury failed to agree.

THE FIRST VAGRANT.

Lawson Hays, of Broadway, stands
at the head of the list of victims of
the recently enacted vagrancy law.
Deputy sheriff Roy Keown arrested
Hays and brought him here Monday
afternoon, and lodged him in Jail to
await trial. Hays is a miner, and ac-
cording to the warrant has wife and
child, no visible means of support,
and persistently refuses to work.
Hays claims that he got hurt some
time ago, since which time he has
been unable to work. He appears to
be about twenty five years old.
Hays took his Imprisonment philo-
sophically. An hour after being lock-
ed up he was that sound asleep that
the jailer had some difficulty in
awakening him for his supper. 1t is
probable that the exemption board
will solve Hays case by sending him
to the army.

DRASTIC ORDER.

The Adjustant General, in making
demand on the local exemption board
for 113 men to leave for camp about
May 25, leaves it no latitude in ex-
empting farmers. A provision of the
order reads:
This call completes the call for
white men in second quota, and there
fore no board will defer call of regis
trants whose order number is within
this quota on account of being engag-
ed in the cultivation of crop. No
registrants can be deferred in this
call under any consideration"

SUPERVISED THEMSELVES.

Under the new tax law the nature
OF the work of the county board of
supervisors is in some measure
changed. Under the old law this
board raised the assessed valuation
of the property of the county as it
saw fit, but under the new law the
State Tax Commission fixes a limit
below which the county board may
not go. This year the minimum was
fixed at one million dollars. The
county board at its first sitting made
raises amounting to about $1,10O,-
900. At its second sitting it reduced
this amount by something like $751;
900, leaving the raise only slightly in
excess of the amount fixed by the
State Tax Commission.
The recent board of supervisors left
a record that, SO far as we are ad-
vised, is unique in the history of that
work. The board was willing to take
the same medicine is dosed out to
other citizens of the county, and rails
ed each of its members. Ii was also
fair enough to take liberal dose and
raised each of its members in sums
from $500 to $500.

JESSE FULKERSON PAROLED

Jesse Fulkerson. of Rockport, who
was sentenced to the penitentiary in
1915, for ten years, upon a charge
of numbering Harrison Maddox, has
been paroled
Maddox was killed in one of the
possum hunter raids that were so
common in the lower part of the
county a few years ago, and the
court fixed the responsibility for the
killing upon Fulkerson. Previous
to the possum hunters troubles Full
kerson had been a good citizen, and
perhaps that fact had much to do
with the successful effort of his
friends to secure his parole.

FISH STORIES.

II is so much the custom to lie
about fishing that it is difficult for
an honest man to tell the truth about
IL when he tries to do so. Last week
we said il was unlawful to take fish
with hook and line, or otherwise.
Our information was based on advice
of officials as well as upon the state
ments of newspapers. Later we
learn we were in error about the mat
ter The statement had appeared in
the Louisville Courier Journal, which
later corrected it, 1t is unlawful
to fish with nets and seines in May
but not with hook and line.

UPON RUSSIA FOR FOOD

Samara, Russia, Thursday, May 2
LESS than half the tillable land of
European Russia remaining in control
of the Bolsheviki Government will be
cultivated this year. General unrest
among the peasants, the unsettled
conditions of land distribution and
shortage of seed, horses and agricul-
tural implements are responsible for
this condition of affairs.

OHIO COUNTY CROPS.

Condition OF Ohio county crops, as
we gather from County Agent Brow
der, is very favorable.
Tobacco plants are reported very
scarce, but it has rarely happened in
this county that the tobacco crop
failed ON account of a shortage Of
plants. Some tobacco has been
planted.
Corn planting was progressing
nicely when the heavy rains of Satur-
day and Sunday checked II up for a
few days. About 40 per cent of the
crop has been planted. A few farm
er report that a second planting
