THE PATRICK TRIAL.
Tannersville, October l.

Tamersvile, October I5.
Editor the News:
In your issue OF the 18th YOU have
an account of the trial of Mr.. and
Mrs. Patrick, for the trouble with
Miss Crusenberry. II is so far at
variance with the truth that | deem,
an explanation not out of order in
justice to Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick.
They were not arrested and taken
anywhere, but were only unoilicially
notified that they were to he tried
and went of their own accord. You
say Patrick's children wore ropri-
manded in the usual manner. Is it
the usual manner to whip tcn-year
old child until you cut the blood out
of it and kick it until it caused an
absccss and has to be under the care
Of n physician for several weeks?
These were the undenied charges
against Miss Crusenberry. When
Mrs. Patrick went into the school
room and asked about the trouble in
Il civil manner, the teacher told hor
"shc regarded her children as brutes
and their parents no better"
There was no charge against Mr.
Patrick. The teacher eXonerated him
of any part in the affair, whatever
out lnc HaSlSlrateS, without explain
ing the reason, fined him the maxi
mum amount. An eminent lawyer
tells me that fclonious assault is
when YOU strike one with Il danger
GUS instrument. and there was moth
ing used by Mrs. Patrick but her
hands-it could not be termed feo-
NOUS assault. AS said indignant cit
izen is in the habit OF taking board
to his step-daughter and driving her
from home, it is natural that he is of
the opinion that child should con-
slider it privilege to be horse-whipp-
ed, but when striking one that can
strike back they regard it criminal
ofiense. Trust this may receive the
same publicity of the misleading
statement. Sincerely,
F.. S. PATRICK.

TOMORROW is
THE LAST DAY
Liberty Loan Campaign FOl
Six Billion Near End-Taze-
well County's Quota Large
But Must Be Raised.

Tazewell County's allotment of the
Fourth Liberty Loan is $500, 900. The
Third Loan allotment was $260,300.
So, the Fourth Loan is little more
than twice the Third Loan. The coun-
ty went over the top in the last loan
campaign $9S,300.
In every campaign the county has
measured up. This loan is more than
twice the third, but there is much
determination now that the county
shall not fall down OH this, the larg-
est amount yet asked. The county
has an ambit!on to show that it can
hcndle "a big thing" Every man who
has not invested should do SO before
the banks close tomorrow. The COM
mittees should get very busy.
The committees working for the
success of the loan have done great
work in the county, but the obiiga-
tion upon them is no stronger than
upon you to do your utmost. 1t
should not be necessary for the busy
business men of the county to have
to buttonhole, beg and argue with
men with money to buy bonds. If
the proper spirit prevailed, all that
would he necessary would be the bare
announcement that the loan is Of
fered and The people would flock to
the banks and buy all they can. 1t is
not much to the credit Of man who
buys bonds only after being begged
and followed around by patriotic cit
liens whose vision is broad enough to
see the absolute necessity of placing
the loan generally among the people.
II you havn't bought all you can, go
to your bank now and do so.
