One of the largest 'crowds ever seen in Hayesville was on hand lang before the case was call • ijrial. Every seat was occupied available standing room taken, roads been better no doubt there would have been many more out * '■ ' The court, parties to the case and witnesses were composed of local' merh of the town who met one night and organized and one night for practice, probably the show would have been better had more time been spent in getting it up. However, each one did well and some original stuff was pulled , off which gave the audience many a good hearty laugh. ' The Hayesville String Band which k composed of five pieces made some good music before and after the trial, which was very much enjoyed. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the members of this band for the fine ' music.
