AGRICULTURE: Sheriff W. D.
Hines was giving out samples of
delicious peaches Tuesday. He said
they were grown by his brother
near Inman. The name of them
was Brackett. They were not large
but had an excellent flavor. We
don’t know whether his brother
has any to sell or whether he is

POLITICS: There is a rumor that
the women of the community are

sheriff of Polk County, after the
act went into operation which had
repealed the act establishing it, his
arrest was not authorized, and,

defendant that the repealing act

County at the time of arresting the
plaintiff, and well justified therein
by virtue of the writ aforesaid.
And it was further agreed, that,
if the repealing act be constitu

the plaintiff of six pense and costs
of suit; if otherwise, then the
plaintiff is to have judgment of

opinion that the repealing act was
constitutional, gave judgment
against the defendant, accordingly,

On appeal to the Supreme
court, the decision of the lower
court was affirmed.

important bearing on why the
suit against Mills was first in
