The Times is informed that mock
trial YVES held in a justice of the
peace court at Flat River recently, in
which Gov. Small, of Illinois, was the

and excoriated the jury, quite severely
for failing to agree when the evidence
was so overwhelming for conviction.

The Times is pleased to note that
Editor T. P. Pigg, of the Ironton Reg
lister, has been appointed deputy Game
Warden for his territory. We are
pleased for the reason that Editor
| Pigg has always been an industrious
party worker, whether or not his
work has proven fruitful for that par
~. We believe he has been honest in
his efforts, however wrong they may
oe. He has been sincere to the point
Of suffocating his paper, by reason of
the insufferable amount of poisonous
and senseless amount of editorial"
squibs which have choked his columns
every week. Perhaps now. in his eff
forts to protect the game and fish,
his Enterprise will also be permitted
to inhale some Of the pure air Of that
| vicinity. rf
