WAS A YOUNG ATTORNEY
An Experience in Early Career of
Pastor of Dawson Church.

Mr.. w c. Woodall. of Columbus,
in a recent article in a daily paper, re-
lates this experience OF Rev w. L.
Wright when he was a young barrister
in Greene county:
Rev w. l.. Wright, pastor OF the
Methodist church at Dawson. was a
lawyer for a short time in his young
er days before he went to the other
.extreme and became minister OF the
gospel DR.. Wright tells with great
relish OF one OF his experiences in
court room days. He and two other
very young lawyers were in the court
room waiting for something to turn
up" with a patience that exceeded
even Mr.. Micawber's
A negro was arraigned, charged
with some misdemeanor He had no
attorney.
Very well, old man, I'll get you a
lawyer" said the judge. I'll give you
your choice of four young lawyers
who practice at this bar There are
three of the young gentlemen on the
front row, and the other is down
stairs in the record room. Take your
choice"
The old darkey looked at Lawyer
Wright and his two fellow barristers
and then said quickly:
II yo' don't mind Mas ledge, I'll

IN SCHOOL HOUSE
WHO PUT THEM THERE ON

WANT TO KNOW.

GUYTON. Ga.-The trustees oil
the public schools are making rigid
inquiry into an April fool prank that
created a good deal of interest in the
town. The problem to be solved is,
"Who stabbed the live stock in the
high school building Tuesday night
For many years efforts to teach
school in Guyton on April LIST have
been abandoned. The spirit of the day
has been so pronounced in former
years that it has been considered Use
less to try to teach school on that day.
Usually there is a short chapel meet
ing in the morning and the pupils are
dismissed for the day. But this year
abandoned, because during Tuesday
night some miscreants broke into the
school house and stabbed several cows
and other quadrupeds on the second
floor On the first floor were put lot
OF pigs and goats and other animals.
The result was that when the janitor
entered the school building it was not
exactly in condition for the holding of
services. The live stock had to be
"hefted" from the upper floors and
"shooed" out of the lower floors be-
fore anything could be done toward
putting the structure in shape again.
The trustees held a meeting and de-
cided upon a plan of action. 1t is
thought a determined effort will be
made to punish those guilty of this
bit OF April LIST joking-if anybody
can call this a Joke.

radio operators, their instruction to be
| undertaken by the director of naval

! will not be expected to drill or cruise.
"A number of the members of the
