In the rear of their city or country
houses in which to plant trees, or
who are planning to plant trees in
ground on which they plan to build,
will da well to consider the useful
ness of trees that are to occupy the
space before deciding just what they
will plant.
Not only are apple trees, cherry and
peach trees ornamental in their shape
and their foliage, but they vary the
year around. They are not only as
decorative rs the purely Towering
shrubs but they are much more lovely
than the average shrub or tree in bios

Captain Jack is Acquitted al
Meridian

N4SIkU10QS
At Meridian Tuesday, Captain
Guy Jack, of Scooba, Miss. was
acquitted by a jury which
for the past week has been trying
him on charges Of criminal libel
in connection with alleged asser-
tions madf by him in his book
Guy Jacks Iconoclast,' recently
published. The verdict was re
ceived with a deafening applause
from large audience, many Of
whom were women, who had fol-
lowed the trial from it's begins
ing.
Captain Jacks book is alleged
to have contained a declaration
that Judge Robert F. Cochran,
former circuit court judge, had
"bribed w. F. Brown, county adj
ministrator, of Kemper County,
Miss, to withhold suits against
assurances companies" Judge CO.
chran, it was brought out repre-
sented the insurance companies
in contesting alleged fraudulent
ing allinsurance claims in Ken,
per County twenty years ago.
In this trial Captain Jack sup
ported the allegation in his book
by declaring that he was impli-
Gated in the insurance frauds as
deeply as the "other criminals"
he admitted taking out insurance
policies on persons who "were
not expected to live long," and
testified that while he was in an
insane asylum in 1915, his wife
received insurance money on his
life without knowledge, when he
learned Of it, he did nothing a.
bout it, he said, because it was
CHS wife's business"
Judge Cochran denied that he
committed dishonorable or
wrongful act in connection with
the insurance cases, and charac-
terized thee alleged accusations
in Captain Jacks book as Elm
famous lies"
