We noticed a nice milk row and way down by the branch we saw a horse quietly gracing along with the row.

The sentence was ejfht months on thr roada, not to take effect if he remained out of the cuuntv for two years. But Moir will serve his road sentence and then lw free to visit hta old haurU» ever in Monkey Bottom at his own pleasure. s Mack Sawyers paid the <-o«t for an affray, and Joe Patterson and Edgar Shaw paid tf> ind coat for a (Ike offense.

Arthur Allen was fined $10 for hav ing liquor on his person. John Key, John Hardy. R. S. Snow anil Carl Taylor paid a total of S20 for being caught in a gambling game. Porter Kelly, col., appealed from hemg taxed with the cost. Kelly was eh urged w:th cursing on the highway, but he claimed he was out in the flelas where his cursing could -lot have dis turbed the public. On this ground he appealed to . Dobaon against paying the $8 in coat. ^ Harry Goins was given eight months on the roads for being drunk and mak ing an assault on Chief I ji wren re Vldyd Hall, white, and Charlie Mc Aruthur. colored, aired their difficulty before the court, and the proceeding coat Hall $26 and McArthor SIM.
