too strong for the local team and the
visitors o by a score of 4 to 0.
Quite a large crowd was in attendance

flying. That's right, lads, keep a stiff
upper lip.

A jury in Justice Rasche's court last
Friday afternoon returned a verdict
of guilty against Elmer Cantrell, a
negro from De Soto, on the charge
of violating the local option law and
fixed his punishment at a fine of $500
and costs. The evidence against the
defendant was that he would come
here from De Soto on the midnight
train bringing with him a supply of
booze. He would inform s'the traden
of his intended visit, they would meet
him at the train or in the neighbor-
hood of the station, pay him about So
a pint for his wares and CantreIl
would return to De Soto on the early
morning train. When the verdict
was returned the defense filed notice
of appeal, but the appeal has not been
perfected. Cantrell is now in Jail and
$500 and costs means that he will
probably stay there eight or nine
months.
Former Sheriff Blue was called to
Annapolis last Thursday to investi-
gate the murder of a young man
whose body was found on the rail-
road track, north OF Annapolis, Tues
day moving of last week. The. facts
indicate a cold FLOODED murder. 1t is
hoped the guilty ones may be brought
to speedy justice. The following is
from last weeks Piedmont Banner:
considerable mystery surrounds the
death of Obrien Garrison, an Is or 20
year old boy, who was found with his
head crushed two miles north of An
napolis by the crew of freight train SO
at $3.50 Tuesday morning. A coro-
ner's inquest conducted at Annapolis
by Squire Kitchell found that CARR
son ''came to his death by a blow on
the head by a sharp instrument in the
hands of some unknown party or per-
sons.o The motive for ,Garrison's
death can only be attributed at this
time to robbery. Only a dime in mon
ey was found on his body and his APP
pearance and dress indicated that he
probably carried a considerable sum
of money. Garrison was seen in Pied
mont Monday and at Des arc later in
the day. He was dressed in a good
suit of clothes, low cut shoes, was
clean shaven, and had recently had
his hair cut. Letters in his pocket
showed that he had recently been dis
charged from the army and had been
at Little Rock and Pine Bluff. He has
a sister at Warren, Arkansas. A grip
which was found near the body con
tanned a considerable quantity Of
clothing, much of it new Burial wal
