markets. !,
First: The idea that anything as
good for Italy has been far too
much the rule among American
manufacturers In other words, they
have not studied foreign commerce as
closely as Germany and ourselves
have been obliged to study it, and
they are much less anxious to manu-
facture for limited market and to
meet the whims or convenience OF
foreign customers in matters OF guam
tity. packing, credits and all the lit
tie details which in the aggregate
mean so much.
Second: Americans have not yet &C
ouire the knack of getting on with
foreign people.
Third: This is the greatest OF all
obstacles to the development of
large trade by Americans. They are
only Just beginning to realize the in
innate connection between export OF
goods and export Of capital.

Time in This Court, With a
Heavy Docket

The Montgomery County Circuit
Court convened in this city yester-
day with Judge H. R. Prewitt on the
bench, presiding for his first time
in the Montgomery Court since his
APPOINTMENT. Judge Prewitt paid a
glowing tribute to his predecessor,
Judge William A. Young. In his
charge to the jury Judge Prewitt laid
great stress on the Importance of
having the prohibition laws enforced
to the letter. He also called attention
to the fact that the road laws are not
being enforced and that gambling and
"pistol toting" are common in this
city. The grand jury is composed of
the following:
G. E. Duff, foreman; Walter Cline,
Jake Lansdale, D. B. SkidmOre; Les
ter w. Lee, Roy L. Morris, R. G.
Baker, A. B. Ratliff, John Swope,

The case of the commonwealth
against John Evans, John Evans, Jr.
and Lizzie Evans, charged with the
murder of S. English Anderson, has
been set for tsial Wednesday, as
Judge Prewitt, having been before his
appointment to the judgship counsel
in the case, he could not act, and as
both parties could not agree on local
attorney to hear the case the Gov
ernor was appealed to, and asked to
appoint special judge which he will
do.

postponed for hearing until the May
term of court. The Trimble will case

heavy SLEET
PLAYS HAVOC
Montgomery County and Entire Sec.
mon Suffer Heavily From tine
Worst SIeet In Years

The heavy sleet which fell on
Wednesday and Thursday Of last
week did hundreds Of thousands Of
, dollars damage in Montgomery and
surrounding counties. Large trees
were literally barred of their limbs and
many smaller ones were broken off
at the ground. The damage to or
chards and valuable shade trees was
immense and can hardly be estimated
in dollars and cents. Telephone, tel
egraph and electric light wires were
practically all down and the owners
of these companies suffered heavily.
The electric service here was entirely
out of commission Thursday and Fri
day, and only owing to almost super
human efforts upon the efforts of the
local manager, W. H. Blevins and his
assistants was the downtown section
furnished with current Saturday
morning. The entire city has been
in total darkness since Wednesday
night, there being no street lights at
all and it is a common occurrence
to meet people carrying flash lights
and lanterns. The Utilities Company
hopes to be able to turn on the cur
rent in the resident section within the
next few days, and it is likely all the
street lights will be burning before the
end of the week. The telephone and
telegraph service, while badly Grip
pied, is improving, and it is hoped
to have the service normal within a
short time. Manager Hatton, Of the
telephone company, is leaving no

WHY TAKE A CHANCE7

We have noticed from the daily pa
pers that influenza is appearing again
in the larger cities. One of the best
safeguards against this is sanitary
washing. Your clothes are steriIized
thoroughly by the laundry-why take
chance on sending them to a wash
woman. Think what cost of influ-
enza would cost you-perhaps a life
in your family. The small difference
in the cost of a sanitary laundry and
an insanitary washing is small. Cal
us for rates. Phone Is. The Mt. Ster-
ling Laundry.
