From the noise produced about
6:15 o'clock Saturday morning in
Tin Top alley, it seemed as though
a small war was in progress; and
it was. There were about seven
engaged in fighting and trying
to pacify. All were negroes; two
women received bad gashes over
the head. Warrants were served
on Jake, Matte and Susie Diggs,
on one side; and Carrie, Bessie,
and Annie Mae Leak, and Rosa
Gibson, on the other. W. r.
Jones defended the former set,
and Mr.. Sedberry the latter crew.
The Mayor found Susie Diggs,
Annie Mae and Bessie Leak
guilty, and the others not guilty.
Susie and Bessie were required
to pay SIS each and J of the costs,
and Annie Mae was ordered to
shell out $40 and ] the costs.

Wood and Furniture.

There are thousands of tuferent
species of wood in the world, hut no
Two square inches are alike. The came
wood may be plain-sawed or quarter
sawed, but there will be n world Of
difference in the two. No one inch In
a board Is like another. Nor will you
ever find two pieces OF wood of the
same texture.
Trees are developed very much az
n human being IL developed. They
have vertical pipes or pores which
carry water nd>modloums Of mineral
through their trunks and limbs, Just
as the blood feeds the human body.
There are no products in the world
whose history will compare with
those fashioned from wood. Civillza.
lion itself has evolved along with the
evolution OF wood and its uses. Civil.
zatlon would have been impossible
without wood. Nations which have
succeeded most are those which have
followed. the hardwood belts.
And all these facts must be weighed
when furniture and better furnished
American homes are considered.

The height Of "Old Sycamore" has
