PROBE FATAL FIGHT
CRIMINAL MATTERS
Recommend That Collum Be Released
On Own Bond—About Twelve
True Bills Returned.
No Civil Business Came Before Court
at Brief Term—Business
Finished Up.
- The grand jury met at the court
house last Monday morning, and, after
listening to a few words of instruction
from Judge Fite, retired to get down
to work.
In his brief talk to the jury,' Judge
Fite instructed them to probe the
shooting of Walters and Holland at
the hands of Pickett Collum, and get
true bills against all who had pistols
at the dance where the fatal fight was
first started.
§j That, Coilum shot the boys in self-
defense was the opinion of the grand
jury, after the evidence had been taken,
and the jury, recommended- that he be
releasedf on his own bond for the shoot
ing of Holland, at the same time re
turning a “no bill” against him on the
charge of murdering Walters.
In all, the grand jury returned
about a; dozen true bills for the two
days’ session, and a few “no bills” were
returned! This brings the true bills
got by this jury up over the 100 mark,
which - establishes a record for this
county.
The presentments of the grand jury
follow:
We, the grand jury, reconvened for
the adjourned term of court, have in
vestigated such matters as have come
before us to the best of our ability, and
report as follows:

improvements. We recommend that a

and that the building be kept in the
best sanitary condition possible.
We recommend that J. Williford

As announced by Judge Fite at the
opening of the adjourned term of su
perior court, the court broke Tuesday
afternoon after a session lasting only
two days. Both of these days were
given' over entirely to criminal mat
ters, the civil docket remaining un
touched.
A number of cases of interest -were
heard, and the session drew a large
crowd of interested people. The two
cases which caused" the most intense
interest were the one against Ed Jor
dan, charged with drunkenness on the
public highway, and the one. against
J. B. Kinneman and G. C. Williams,
charged with car-breaking. Convic
tions were obtained in both cases, and
the defendants were sentenced to
twelve months on the chaingang. In
both of these ^ cases, the defendants,
through their attorneys, filed motion
for new trial.
The other business that was disposed
of was as follows:
The State vs. Arthur Smith, nol
prossed.
The State vs. Taylor Johnson, de
mand.
The State vs. George King, demand.
The State vs. Bob Adams, demand.
The State vs. John Holland, bond
forfeited.
The State vs. Tabor Trim; verdict of
guilty.
The State vs George King, verdict

The State vs. Archey Foster, et al.,

Cancer Cured.
Dr. Ingham, the old reliable special
ist, has permanently located at Oak-
man, Ga., for the purpose of treating
cancerl He ha smade a specialty of
Die treatment of cancer for more than
40 years; has cure^ as bad cases as
were ever cured by any known rem
edy, many-of them having been treated
by our best physicians, and given up
by them as being incurable. He' re
moves the cancer in from 10 to 20 days
without cutting or loss of blood. And
takes fip money for treating any case
of cancer, until the cancer is removed.
Do not believe those who tell you your
cancer is incurable, until you have
first been examined by Dr. Ingham. He
has cured hundreds of cases where
other doctors have failed. Some of
them having been removed by the
knife and returned, and with gteat
rapidity were hurrying them to a pre
mature grave, but the Dr. cured them,
and thereby stayed the fell destroyer.

tion of Robert Deck.
We have thoroughly investigated the
killing of' Bill Walders, and, in our
opinion, Pickett Collum was justified
in firing the shot which resulted in the
death of the said Walders;- we believe
that he, Colliim, also acted in self-de
fense . in shooting Hal Holland, and
recommend that he he released on his
own recognizance on that charge.
We recommend that these present

OLD VETERAN TALKS OF MOTHER,
WHO IS EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS OLD
WANT AN IMPROVED PACKAGE.
The apple growers and dealers of
the country are a live set of people
and if there is anything in their line
that will make the business an im
provement over what they are now us
ing for the purpose they want to know
it. For years the only package for
apples was the barrel, but, as the busi
ness advanced and improved, it was
found that the present box was bet
ter, and now the universal package is
the box. It would almost seem that
the box was as good as would ever be
secured, hut one never knows, and
perhaps there is an idea smouldering
in the brain of £bme individual that,
if developed, would result in a revolu
tion in the apple packing and distrib
uting industry. To find and develop
this idea the Colorado National Apple
Exposition is offering a medal of hon
or to someone who will produce a
package that will be jndged to be bet
ter for marketing purposes than the
present package. Who will win the
honors ?
One of the most interesting fea
tures-- of the meeting of the Joseph
E. Johnston Camp of Confederate vet
erans at the court house last week
was the talk made by Comrade Dowl
ing, who surprised many of the old
soldiers by talking of his mother.
Mr. Dowling, who had been absent
from the meetings for some time, was
called on to talk to the camp. He
stated that the day was his sixty-fourth
birthday, and' when he left hime his
mether gave him $10 with which to
buy a suit of clothes. He stated that
his mother was eighty-five years of
age.
This brought on an interesting dis
cussion among a number of the mem
bers of the camp after the meeting;
and no one knew of another member
who had a living parent. A member
from Catoosa county stated during
the discussion that the Catoosa county
camp had been sounded, and no mem
ber, with the exception of Mr. Dowl
ing, could truthfully boast of a living
father, or mother.
Before the death of Col. Tibbs sev
eral years ago, the local camp had a
father and son as members.. Both
Col. Tibbs and his son, J. L Tibbs,
served on the side of the Confederacy
during the civil war. They were both
members of the Joseph E. Johnston
Camp. U. C. Y.
While Mr. Dowling’s mother is 85
years* of age, she is in apparently good
health and bids fair to live a number
of years longer.
A Christmas Poem by Ernest Neal.
v (Written for The Citizen).
I stood at the gate of the world;
Ambition said, “Grasp the view.”
My blood thru its channels flew,
Mad-drunken witpi joy like wine.
Wealth, honor and fame I beheld
My heart said, “These shall be mine *
The above is only a
suggestion. The store
is full of desirable
gifts. Come irif and
look: through our line.
I went my way into the world;
To gain and conquer I fought,
I achieved the ends I sought—
But to sigh, and whimper, and moan
Ambition’s goal achieved,
Love’s treasures were yet unknown.
