De Witt Clinton's defeat. 7 to o. py

the first eetback that the Red anu

to triumph over Clinton, and its victory
came In the opening game or the 1919
season. .,
Even though Clinton lost to DicKln-

better than it's followers had reason 10

two members of the 1921 team were
left when Coach Edward J. Spalter
called out his candidates. AFTER les
touchdown in the first three minutes
of play Dickinson was unable TO make
more than five yards at any one ufne'
while Clinton threatened to score tWlce
and stood on the yard line when the
game ended.
Coach Spalter gave his team hard

STOLEN AUTOMOBILE
Is RECOVERED

Chief of Police Steve Philpott
earned one hundred good plunks
and the thanks of DR.. Runnells, OF
Kenton, N. G. when a week ago last
Thursday he recovered that gentle
mans automobile and took into
custody Clifford Singleton, II. and
Walter Cogsburn, 10, OF the same
city. On arrival here the boys tele-
graphed home to their parents for
money and a return wire asked that
they be held. Meantime they had
gone out of town but returned via
Manchester Street and were found
in a restaurant near the depot at
ten O'Clock that evening warming
themselves by the fire but unable to
comfort the inner tubing with a
meal as they we're broke. The auto
stolen was a Buick and was worth
about $500.
The boys were returned to their
home town by a deputy sheriff of
Haywood. N. c.
1t is a pity to see boys of these
ages do so foolish a thing as 1t will
cast stigma on their whole future
The best asset a young man can
have is that of sterling honesty. To
be known as a crook is to have
earned the contempt of all decent
citizens. In the case of the two
boys mentioned, we hope the adven-
ture will turn out to have been
more in the nature of q thoughtless

OPERETTAS AT U. @.

The exceedingly bad weather on
Saturday night kept many from at
tending the program of the voice
pupils of Mrs. Nunvar at Union Col
lege. This program was well rem
dered and entertaining. Altho some
of the numbers were of humorous
character, yet the music was full Of
appealing harmony.
The first part consisted of solos,
duets, etc. All showed good work
and excellent training, Mr.. H. NJ.
Campbell, from Nicholasville, who
came to assist with the operettas,
rendered a solo that brought forth
continued applause. He sings with
the greatest of ease and his power
full baritone voice is we'll suited to
songs of the open sea. He was well
worth while hearing.
The last part of the program con-
sisted of three operettas. given in
costume. Music rendered in this
way, accompanied by action as 1t is,
seems to bring out the best har-
monies relieving any possible stiff-
ness the student might feel. Here
Mr.. Campbells work was again re-
ceived with enthusiasm.
The students and Mrs. NunvaT
deserve great credit for being able
to work up such a finished program
in the midst of their many activities

PEG o. MY HEART

How we all enjoyed Peg" last
Monday night! This was another
OF the good things attempted at
Union College. but when you are
going to do something why not do
something worth while?
OF course Cecil Byrley as Peg
was the star, but we must say, in
the language of the revues, she was
supported by an all star cast-even
to the dogs.
Carolyn Stanhll was the stately,
rather cold society mother.
Charles Heidrick, as Alaric, her
son, was not only good looking"
but also good acting"
Flossle Turner. the daughter and
sister, was apparently fee cold. but
my word" underneath she certain
ly had feelings.
jake Howard, the solicitor was
all business, even in his sudden pro-
posal.
Francis Nash, the near william,
was very sleek.
Arthur DELPHI, the footman, acted
the part splendidly.
Bernice Humfeet, the maid. car
ried off her part with proper dignity
Horace Barker, as GERRY" was
pleasing to the audience as well as
to Peg.
Cecil Byrley, as Peg, quite out
did herself, it being perfectly easy
fro her to be both witty and sweet.
Miss Mildred Murphy is all bus
mess when it comes to her work
and deserves great credit to be able
to produce so worthy a play as that
of Monday night in the midst of
a busy College term. In the first
place she can fit the person to the
part and then she inspires the pupil
to do his best.
Barbourville needs more plays
and we are loking forward to fur
ther treats during the remainder of
the college year.

MONDAYS CITATION
PROCEEDINGS

Those who read the Louisville
papers last week saw a number Of
sensational reports from Barbour
Vile concerning a Rule which had
been issued by Circuit Judge Rose
against County Judge Stamper,
Fred Burman, editor of the Noun
tain Advocate, Commonwealth At
torney ]. c. Bird and County Attor-
ney P. L. Senters. Among other
things 1t wxs enormously reported
that "for the time. being J. @. Bird
and P. L. Senters had been succeed
ed by T. d. Tinsley and H. H. Owens
as Comomnwealth's and County At
torney. This statement, as well as
others in connection with the affair
was an error. 1t is only fair to w.
S. Hudson, correspondent of these
newspapers to state that he sent the
correct data to the newspapers but
in the re-write by their employees,
they. in the language Of the street,
''got balled up" a fact that has
proved embarrassing to Mr.. Hudson,
who is noted for his spirit of fair
play and good sense.
The True Facts
On Sunday, November 26th, be-
fore the Circuit Court convened the
next day, which was Monday, No
vember 9th, County Judge ]. T.
Stamper, upon invitation, made an
address at the Methodist Church on
law and order. In that address,
among other things, Judge Stamper
said:
"Justice delayed is justice denied.
Circuit Courts are too far apart
there is too much on the docket to
try in sixty days. l have been watch
ing the courts of the land for num-
ber of years and have seen men of
influence get into trouble. A num-
ber of friends and a big array of
lawyers are present and, II the man
has money, they will try to wear
the case out.
"a murderer finds friends, money
and resources, but who comes to de-
fend the widows and the orphans?
In our own court saw a poor man
fastened to trial (justly, l Think
and in the same court men with in
fiuence and money got their cases
put OF. 1 AN not criticizing the
Circuit Court. That's their business,
not mine"
The above quotation, and especi-
ally that part whooh seemed to re-
fleet upon the Knox Circuit Court,
is what aroused the ire of Judge
Rose and caused the Rule to issue.
After ordering the Rule to go
against Judge Stamper and Fred
Burman, Judge Rose demanded of
the Commonwealth and County
Attorneys that they consider the
newspaper article as an indictment
against them and to file a response
thereto, and set the hearing for
Friday morning, December 18th. On
Friday morning all four of the gen.
tlemen against whom the Rule is
sued filed verified written responses.
The responses of the Common
wealth's and County Attorneys were
very short and to the effect that
they had never, in the management
of any case for the Commonwealth,
been influenced by any corrupt mo-
tive.

milk sells for about 10 cents a
quart, whereas a certain product of
fruits and grain commands about
81 quart and there is apparently
a steady demand for it. The prob

by the liberal use Of white lead on
the milk bottle, which will. when
applied correctly, deceive even a

The farmer who is trying to

usually carries a bottle or two of
good milk in his basket.
He makes his deliveries in a
