A LITTLE FINEssE.

Alison was rather ashamed of her
temperamental outburst when she

Glass Washboard Preferred.

(To Be Continued.)
The Washington herald., 1920-09-27

A glass washboard, although it
breaks more easily, is to be pre-
ferred to a metal one because the
corrugations are rounded and the
friction on the clothes is less. How
ever, If metal washboard is used
1t should be thoroughly dry befope
being put away SO that it will not
warp or attract water-bugs.

A preliminary hearing before JUS
tiee 7. G.. Briscoe was given &. H.
Noll Monday at L. D. Clark store at
old Ayera. Noll was arrested a few
days ago charged with the murder Of
his brother-in-law Mccoy OF Wayne
County. 1t appears that Mccoy
came to Noll' home on May 10Th.
and ran him off and cut up great
deal as a man under influence of Ii
quor of violent temperament might
do. Noll returned home later after
Mccoy had slept and was thought
Gained down, but Mccoy it seems
tried to come in on Noll at his house
again and Noll forbade him and beat
him up about the head with a club
and piston in trying to keep him out.
Mccoy died shortly afterwards. The
evidence at the trial ran so that NolI
was released as 1t seemed to have been
a justitiable affair in self-defense.
Noll lives on the John Jones place
and himself with family came from
Wayne County not so great awhile
ago, his wife being half-sister OF
Mccoy, the dead man.
