Will Have to Stay Away.
Mayor Hopkins will receive the thank
of fathers and mothers of young boy
in this town, lor instructing the Marsh
at to hereafter prohibit boys from as
sembling in police court room, and
listening to the coarse language used
by the witnesses giving in testimony,
The Times-Enterprise has mention
ed this matter before. The characters
usually up before the court are utterly
depraved,many of them, and the lan-
gauge used is had enough for men to
hear, and certainly small boys should
not be allowed to he present, but
court days always finds a large num
ber of them on hand, and the Mayor
has to frequently call them to order.
Of course when they are summoned as
wi nesses they will be permitted, but
otherwise they will have to stay out,
m the order of Mayor Hopkins will be
r et'y enforced by the Marshal.
