HOW ABOUT IT
Our town - with its beautiful
trees and. well paved" streets is
made unsi2htly by watse paper
on Main street and Church street.
Evpmr street forces itself upon
ones attention.; : Can't something
be done to prevent it? ; House
keepers, can't- you have paper
and trash burned instead of
swent into the street ? Can't ihe
children be taught to ; care too
much for the town to throw pa
per on the streets? Can't the
men put envelopes and circulars
in trash cans instead of scatter
ing them in all directions? Some
days the courthouse yard is al
most covered with envelopes and
irts. ot letters. Can't we all
crk together to do away with
this nuisancer It only require?
a little thought. v Y '"' '

ther" is Stokely tfti-itunv as Vnnn
was; but talks quietly and. cour
teously with a flash of animation
here and there. !-- "I guess things
are going to rack and ruin ; at
home,' he said . yesterday and
then went on to talk of his does
and his horses. , He will not,-of
course, discuss the case, . When
alone he stands staring out of
the window of his cell or reads
from the new Testament that4he
isitor may see lying on his bed.
Interviewed yesterday by a re-
uorter for ' the AdvanceY' Judire
Ward,' who. is leading counsel for
the defense. ' stated that hie bad
good grounds to hope for the. ac
ouittal of his client. . The de-
tense- will attempt to show that
venton Towe..was Jff the habit or
drryins a pistol : that he had
been heard to express threats a-
;ainst'the Stokely family and
had'L :raated that he might kill
Li&self ; and tliat Murden Stoke
ly aiad his father had Mot -sus
pected tfiat the Lnterrtiohs of
Towe. were anything but honora
ble, until, the eiri . left home.
Judge Ward states' that there is
no doubt that Towe was guilty,
as the Stokely's charge;
The attorneys far the prosecu
tion'' contend 'that they have a
strong , case - aunst ' Stoke
ly.. . They hoU , that the. killing
was premeditate 1, ; and that the
shot was fired a liiidst without
warning. In . ku port of the j
claim- of nrcir.eJit.ition the prose
cution will attempt; it is said, to
prove that r to.ely tried to bor
row . pistol to kill Towe with,
and that foi'.irr to get it him-
self. he had IU father to borrow
it for him. TLry urge, too, mat
it 6honld t- rr .-ipmbered that the
version of t'. tlTiir heard is that
of the EtclYs; Towe, being un
