The few days of warm sunshine
is bringing the cotton up.
We are glad the warm sunshine has
come for we had about worn out all
our winter clothes and burned up our
summer wood pile.
Ed G.. Billiard was taken seriously
sick last Friday and was operated on
for appendicitis. He is at the Mari
eta Sanitarium and his condition was
satisfactory at the last news. He
holds responsible position in Allan
ia. His friends hope his illness will
be of short duration and that he will
soon be out again.
A farmer asked us how a hogweed
grows; he had never been able to find
any seed on them and the roots died
in winter. We are very familiar with
Mr.. Hogweed, but have not studied
weedology enough to answer his ques-
ton. Had he wanted some informa-
ton on crab grass and sassafras
sprouts we could have put him wise
and told many things that were not
in the books. Who can tell US about
the hogweed?

father, T. B. Guffin, and his family.
Sufficient facts have been made
public recently in Washington, D. c.,
of greed, graft and violation of law
to cause every citizen of our nation
to hang his head in shame.

stated the case it expects to prove
against Roland Pothier, on trial in
Federal district court here for the muir
der of Major Alexander Cronkhite.
Major Cronkhite died of bullet
wound" Mr.. Osborne declared in open
ing statement. I'VE win show that it
would have been physically impossible
for this wound to have been self-in.
flicted, either by accident or design.
There were only two men present at
the time, Pothier and Robert Rosen-
bluth. One of the two, Pothier, has
since confessed that he fired the fatal
shot at the instigation of the other.
Seeks Murder Verdict
"On these grounds we viii ask the
Jury to convict the defendant Pothier
of murder in the first degree"
In his opening address Mr.. Osborne
laid special stress ON the alleged inn
possibility of Major Cronkhite's wound
being self inflicted, and also. on the
different confessions claimed to have
been made by Pothief. He told of the
investigation made by General Adolf
bert p. Cronkhite, father of the dead
man, and of the subsequent investiga-
tions by the department of justice.
Mr.. Osborne told of the organiza-
ton of the 213th engineers, Major
Cronkhite's regiment of the assignment
of Pothier and Capt. Robert Rosen-
bluth to the regiment and Of the roder
given the organization for practice
march October 25, 1918.
CrOnkhite Joined March
After the march started Major
Cronkhite, who had not sbeen ordered
on the march, decided to join it." he
stated.
"Pothier left hte, camp with Cronk-
hite. Before leaving he borrowed a
revolver from Sergeant Crook. Am
munition had not been generally is
sued to the men, but Sergeant Crook
had some which Pothier took.
when Major Cronkhite joined the
regiment, he assumed command from
Captain Rosenbluth. About three or
four miles from camp they changed
the route because of some obstruction
on the road ahead. They followed
very narrow trail through a dense for
est for three quarters of a mile to
the place of Major Cronkhite's death"

Eatest news from the late war. We
have all thought that General Allenby
captured Jerusalem. Well, he did not.
But there were complications. One of
his men told the hitherto suppressed
story.
1T was a set-up" said he. GAN we
had to do was to ride in. But the gen.
eral wanted to do it nifty, and SO he
set the date two weeks ahead. That
gave us time to break in the act and re-
hearse the motion picture photogra-
piers"
Unfortunately, time hung heavy on
the hands of an Australian captain and
he went A w o L with his entire COM
pany. They bought every picture postal
and every stamp in. town, and wrote the
glad news to every friend they had in
the world, and if they had not been
scooped up by the Military police, they
would have gummed Alenby's triumphal
entry beyond repair by Naving fights on
the street corners.
Allenby's friend says the general may
forget this outrage in the course of the
next few hundred years. But he will
never forgive. ..
