FAREWELL PRESENTATION
MADE TO JOHN BARRETT.
Tuesdays party was given to Mr..
Barrett by the members of the staff
of the Pan American Union and was
a very delightful and entirely in
formal affair. Mr. Barrett was
dressed in white flannels and a soft
collar; some of the guests were in
evening clothes and some weren't.
Mr.. Barrett made a brief address
following a little ceremony of pre-
sentation when he was given a
stunning cedSr-lined silver cigar
box with the statement prettily en-
graved on il to the effect that il
was a farewell present from the
personnel of the Pan American
Union. He also received a hand
some beaten silver travelling clock,
a very compact and lovely affair
and an unusually good looking
walking stick made from a coffee
tree that grew and died in the
patio of the Pan American Union
Building. 1t is probably the only
walking stick ever made from a
coffee tree grown in this country.
II was a rough, crooked tree, but
the cane had been pIanod-not
turned-until II was perfectly
straight and the grain OF the wood
was very pretty. The cap was Of
silver. handsomely engraved. As
Mr.. Barrett said. it rather pays TO
change positions some times! Just
sec all the pretty things he re-
ceived. He also showed that even
ing the loveliest watch l ever saw
given him by Spanish society Of
California. a representative coming
all the way from California to
make the presentation. 1t was OF
platinum and gold. as thin as a
wafer and not very large. The back
was absolutely plain except for the
monogram Of J. b. The chain was
Of inch long solid slips of platinum
iOined bV large round pearls

With this costume Mrs. Craigie
wore a medium sized hat OF a deep

wreath of flowers of pastel
shades. At the end of a leash she
had a beautiful snow white doggie

of the sort; I'm not just sure what
kind, but he was lovely. She was

AMOS POsEY CONVICTED AND
SENTENCED
PLEADS eWH CASE 70 JURY

Amos Posey who was indicted by
the grandjury for receiving stolen
goods was tried Wednesday In the
September term Of Criminal Circuit
Court He employed no attorney and
represented himself throughout the
trial. In a very touching appeal to
the jury he set forth tho,merits OF his
case.
William Mars, who appeared as a
witness for the state stated that he
took the goods from Mars Bros store
to Amos Posey's home. and it was all
understood and agreed upon that the
goods were to be taken by him and
received by Mr.. Posey.
It will be remembered that last
April Mars Bros store was broken In
to and about $500 worth of merchant
disc was traced to Amos Posey's
home. Mr.. Posey based his argument
on his testimony that the goods We're
brought to his home .and left there
early on the morning of Apr 18th.
William Mars stated that he was to
receive 90 per cent of the value OF the
goods.
Amos Posey was sentenced to serve
four years in the penitentiary. He
took the sentence hard, and lay out
on bench in the Court House for
some time after he was sentenced.
