Or. Georue Brown Arrested

w. A. jackson, X. IL. Gullett,
j. ID. Wella, Clifford and Joe Price
went to Memphis 6rst OF the week
as character witnesses IN the case Of
Or, George Brown, formerly Of
this county. who rs charged with
stealing and coucealiug an au,omo
bile.
DR.. Brown lives at Whitton,
having moved from Hsmll about
three years ago. As We understand
it, be had driven his car to Memphis
and parked 1t for few minutes on
q main street. When here turned to
the parking place the car was gone
and after a frultless search he re
turned home. Shortly afterward a
neighbor took hIm to Memphis and
sold him a second hand car. DR..
Brown drove 1t home and in a few
days be was arrested, the officers
saying that the car he bad bought
had been stolen, snd that he was an
accomplice In the stealing. DIR.
Brown had paid cash for the car and
did not ask for a bill of sale, so
has nothing except his word to
prove that he did buy 1t. The man
who sold him the car has also been
arrested, but says that DR.. Brown
paid him a certain amount to get
the Gar for him.
DR.. Brown was born and reared
10 the Hsmil community and has
scores OF friends who wall testify TO
his good character and high standing
as a citizen. The trial was post
poned until more evidence could be
secured.
Weknow DR. Brown as a success
full practitioner and a man of good
character. Il is our opinion that
he Is victim of ring Of automo-
bile thieves working in Memphis

after IL o'clock Friday night the

Then followed the decorating of
the graves, especial attention being

At the exercises beautiful spirit
of united America prevailed. There
was no north, or south, nor even
north and south, when speaking of
the soldiers who laid down their
lives during the civil strife of over
sixty years ago. Under skies as
blue as May can make them the
whole assemblsge bent Its thoughts
to an all embracing Americanism
and tribute of recognition to all
American soldiers in all Americas
wars.
