In a recent address J. W. Cam
eron said the following, which is
significant: “Large industries make
small industries necessary, and
small industries make large ones
possible. Wipe out large industries
and you wipe out three-fourths of
the small ones; wipe out the small
ones and the large ones cannot go
on. They work together. Each has
a part in the nation’s job.”

that our local court has no jurisdic
tion in such cases. However J the
court rendered a verdict ‘noil pros
with leave,” which we understand
means that everybody involved
went home free and happy whether
the law was justified or not.

story. Cleveland Perry, 1 u and
Cordie Ferrell 16, absorbed a lot
of liquor and got lost in the color
ed cemetery in the Hopkins Chapel
neighborhood. Cleveland’s mother
is dead and his father sets n drink

sins are more or less in herited.
Cordie’s father is dead and he just
naturally likes likker. So, while
they were walking with ghosts
among the tombstones, Co t'die fell
over a stone. In his indignation at
such indignity on the part of the
silent sentinel of the dead, he
threw it down and broke it to piec
es. Not satisfied he did likewise to
a number of other stones arid mark
ers.
The verdict of the court was, 6
months on the state highways for
each of the boys. This was suspend
ed on the following conditions: 1.
All damaged stones are to be re
placed by August 15. 2. The boys
are to remain of good behavior for
two years. 3. They must pay all
costs of the court action.
Gattys Bailey, young farmer
just over in Johnson county, was
before judge Rhodes for driving
a car while drunk. He w T as found
guilty, taxed with the cost, put on
probation for one year and relieved
of his driver’s license for a period
of one year.
Staley M. Mitchell from over in
Franklin county in the town of
Bunn was reported to the court by
a highway patrolman for operating
a car carelessly and recklessly. He
