Drive to Lone Oak. On Saturday morning the party was driven 6 miles Into the country to Lone Oak, a pretty little village of thrifty farmer folk. The drive to Prospect Church was filled with Interest to the three clergymen, who for the first time since their start on the road of life many, many years ago, reviewed the eld scenes of early childhood and re counted the days when they were young school boys trudging the many long miles each day In an effort to get the education which is now so easily secured by the average young person. At Prospect Church was gathered a great assembly of farmers, their wives, daughters, sons and sweethearts, all eager to meet the famous children of Lone Oak, and all eager for a right' merry good time. A committee con sisting of J. N. Hall. J. L. Pritchett, A. 0. Lee, J. B. Hopson, J.'T. Turner and many volunteers met the visitors and mr two hours a merry handshake and social chat was enjoyed by not only the distinguished guests, but by many of the country folk, many of whom had not met before In many years.

Another old member of the church and former play mate of Dr. Allen was Robert Pow edge, who also Joined heartily In thi 'pint of the day, and, although unable to take an active part showed by his presence and Jovial manner of the pride which he took In assisting In the fecep t | on for , he suitor*.

COUNCIL'S LAW Says Ordinance Concerning Policemen and Liquor Is Not Wise. Much comment, adverse and other wise, has been occasioned by the or dinance passed at the last session af council prohibiting smloonmen to sell or give liquor to members of the police three. The police force Is against the ordinance to a man, and Monday morn Ing Mayor Woodward wrote a strong message of disapproval on the back of the ordinance, although he did not veto It. Mayor Woodward declares that the ordinance gives too much power In the hands of one man for the offense, and also that he Is against prohibiting the policemen taking a drink when they are off duty and have taken off their uni forms. HI* message to council reads aa fol lows; “I return this paper to your honor able body without my signature of ap proval or disapproval, not for the pur pose of veto, but with the recommen dation that It be re-referred to the committee for the purpose of further consideration and perfection. It appears to me that your honorable body has made the penalty on the li censee too severe by making him sub ject. to a fine of 8100, thirty ($0) days In stockade and revocation of license. The original ordinance from the board of >olTce commissioners carried a fine on the employer and only the revocation * license on the licensee, which, to me. committed. It further appears to ms that this Is too arbitrary a power to be conferred upon one man 'for such an offense.

PARTNER OF GIBSON TELLS QUEER STORY Ashton I* To Be a Witness tho Probing of the Kinan Murder. at By Private Lasted Wire. Shelburne, N. If., July 28.—In statement made here at his country home In the White mountains, William K. Ashton gives some of ths facts about Attorney Burton W. Gibson’s dealings with Mrs. Htrntnn, the mother of Mrs. Alice Kinan, who was murdered, which put a new and startling aspect to the case. He will be summoned before the grand Jury as g witness. 'I do not wish to criticise a fellow attorney," said he. "Gibson's action waa manifestly unfair, not altogether to me but to our joint client, Mrs. 8tenton. As ths secret purchaser of .. to |,£ t iro party, It was to his Interest to t In through hts dummy at the owest possible figure. As a matter of fact, ths 866,000 for which Gibson ob tained control was very much below lts true value. I hsrl sent an expert to examine It and 1 felt confident from rt that It would bring at least .it the partition sale. That the expert's Judgment waa conservative Is shown by the fact that Gibson had no difficulty In finding a purchaser on the day of the murder, which entered Into a contract to take the property off hts hands for 880,000.” The statement of Ashton contradicts many Important details ths testi mony given by Gibson at the prelimi nary Inquiry before Justice McDonald.

Until few days before the season opened, one of the largest crops for years was cted, but the fruit began to rot enly before the season opened, and fell off of the trees so fast that not half of the fruit waa marketed. R. H. Moore, of Culverton, for years one of the largest psach growers In the county, was able to gather but twelve crates from his orchards. While Mr. Moore suffered worse than any Other shipper, none escaped great loss. In addition to all of this, the prices received were on the whole unsatis factory. Special to The Georgian.
