motion authorizing an investiga.

Morris, justice of the peace,
passed by the town council a
week ago was rescinded by that
body Monday night.
It was alleged a week ago that
there was a difference Of $45 in
the magistrates books.
A second motion was passed to
the effect that the transcript be
returned. Mayor H. T. Willis
declared the investigation an in
justice to Mrs. Morris and main
tanned that it had been laid be-
fore the council at this time to
prevent Mrs. Morris from receiv-
ing reappointment. He said:
'In my opinion this matter
was laid before the council at
this time for the purpose of
preventing Judge Morris re-
appointment as justice Of the
peace. This has nothing to do
with the facts in the case and
a failure to investigate it, or
at least allow her the privilege
of presenting her side of the
case is a gross injustice to
mayor and council to severe
Judge Morris and subjects the
criticism"

only that they've got the photograph that you

there to laugh over. though
"What?" Enid said "What?"
"Oh, nothing" Eddie went on. 'Mush took
your photograph down there and he couldn't
make up his mind between q nice white

they asked him two dollars and q quarter for it
and the cellulod frame Is only q dollar and
nineteen cents, though the picture would have
to be cut down some to fit it. He offered
them dollar and sixty cents for the birch
