KOkOnaO BrelU Test
AWdkens Interest
and Settles Doubt
Special to The Times.

KOKOMO, Ind, March 29.-When Will
liam J. Henderson was on trial charged
with the unlawful manufacture Of intoxi-
eating liquor, in the Circuit Court here,
it became necessary TO prove that home
brew was intoxicating, if the charges
were made to hold.
More than forty pints were introduced
as evidence by Prosecutor Harness.
Patrolman Robert Newcom took the
stand and testified that the stuff was in
toxicating.
How does he know it is?" challenged
Attorney Heron. He don't know what's
in the bottles"
Prosecutor Harness then handed one of
the bottles to the witness, with the re-
quest that he smell and taste it, then tell
the court whether it was intoxicating.
Newcom obeyed. The cork came or
with an explosion. The witness sniffied.
Smells like It," he said. Then the wit
ness tasted, and smacked his lips.
TASTES like it, he reported.
At this juncture there was a hubbub
in the courtroom. Nearly every one pres
ent became anxious to testify as expert
witnesses, when Attorney Heron de-
clared the intoxicating propensities Of
the home brew would not be contested
further by the defense. Judge Wills took
the ca Sc under advisement.

To the Business
Men of Shellman

In the first issue OF our newspaper
we consider it very important that we
call your attention to facts concerning a
matter which is vital factor IN your
business. This matter is advertising.
This refers to every town and sec
ton where local business is not FULLY
represented in home papers.
The columns of the live daily or
weekly newspaper form an index to
what is doing in a town in a business
way. Columns devoid of ample ad-
vertising space speak for themselves,
and the average person can and does
form his own and usually the correct
concusion-which is that people do
not advertise for the simple reason
that THEY ARE NO LONGER IN
| BUSINESS" 1t is we'll said that The
worst advertising a town can get is
done by business houses that stay out
of the columns of the local paper" AS
regards this lack of business spirit and
enterprise this same sort of bad adver-
Using has been given a number OF
Georgia towns, though there are local
concerns that have remained by the
guns with remarkable faith and de-
| termination. The mistakes of the past
can be lived down. We must learn
something from them, however. We
must quit crying and giving up when
things get a little bad. The best time
to make a record is when difficulties
are great. That is when stout hearts
are needed in business and in liberal
advertising in the local newspaper.
Liberal advertising is the best bust
ness maker.
The Shellman News has been
brought about in order that we might
receive our share OF the business of
Randolph and neighboring counties
by using the columns of this paper to
place before the public our businesses
and our offers. In order to maintain
L real first class and up-to-t he-minute
newspaper it is imperative that the
merchants cooperate along the lines
of advertising. For it is thus that the
paper survives. Every farmer in the
Shellman territory, every man, woman
and child of Shellman well knows that
Shellman has business houses and
practically the names of every place
and business. But unless you get busy,
as all our adjoining towns and coun-
ties are doing, by presenting your
selves to them you cannot expect to
receive the same amount of trade and
recognition. Read this carefully and
also weigh the possibilities of your
business; consider we'll the amount
your business could and should set
aside for the purpose of advertising
Cooperate with your newspaper, and
you will find that it will be a great
pleasure on our part to cooperate
with you in making Shellman one
among the first, if not the first, little
towns of Georgia

SWIMMING POOL In
NEED OF ATTENTION
SEARS POND COULD BE MADE
POPULAR PLACE FOR REC
REATION AND PLEASURE.

Did you know that our pool at
Sears pond is being recognized as
"the place" when it comes to some
where to go for picnic or place to
get together and have a big time? Al
ready this summer there have been
three or four picnics given by out-of-
town people. During the long summer
months. nice, cool plunge will make
all, from the youngest to the oldest,
feel better. At the present time our
pool is in very bad condition; moss,
sticks, limbs and brush are all over
it. The swings have almost rotted
down and the bath houses need clean
ing out. The small dam that adjoins
the bridge, which offers walk-way
across the pool, is washing to such an
extent that if something is not done
it will soon be impossible Several
plank have been broken and removed
from the bridge This should be mend
ed. Grass and weeds have grown up,
thus forming a very good hiding place
for snakes. Last summer this was kept
clean, and no one was annoyed by
snakes Let's get together and do
something with our pool. With just a
small contribution from number of
citizens and just little time given by
some one we could get everything
fixed up in tip-top shape.

SHELLMAN HIGH
MEETS FIRST DEFEAT
LAST GAME ENDS A VERY sue
CESSFUL SEASON WITH
THE LOCAL BOYS.

Columbus Industrial high defeated
Shellman high on the local diamond
by a score OF s to /. This was the
last game OF the season and our boys
were doting heavily on winning this
game, but the Columbus twirler held
the Shellman boys at his mercy, CIV
ing up only six hits and holding those
hits scattered throughout the game,
and at the same time whitfield thirteen
men.
The lack Of support in pinches &C
counted for Columbus scoring three
of their five runs. Interest in the game
was at high pitch until the Columbus
half of the sixth inning, when they
tailed their first run.
Whaley for Shellman was in superb
form, giving up only three hits during
the entire game and getting twelve
strike-outs.
Columbus has proven to be Shell
mans hardest nut However, they met
a severe drubbing on their own ball
grounds on the 18th of this month,
when the Shelman lads gave them
a shut-out, the score being three to
nothing. Thus this game evened the
series with the Columbus Industrials.
The Shellman high team ends a
very successful season, not having met
a single series of defeats.
