Gov. A1 Smith last week pre
sented the New York legislature
with his political platform,

ed—too* him a long time to tell
■which one it was.
John CacksJ’a Gypsy, was jailed
at Dublin, Ga., last week, charged
with selling bis two daughters in
marriage for $5,000, and then
stealing them to sell again. This

would give each of bis children 25
cents to go :o bed before supper,
and then steal the money from
after they went to sleep.

Not long ago wluti going honfC
we found a plank in the road with

this death trap.
The trial of Hickman, tbo kid
napper and murderer of the little
12-year-old girl at Los Angeles,
Cab, a’short time ago, is going to
be tried for lunacy, beginning Jan
uary the 25th. It is darned strange
that such murderers and big bank
thieves do not go crazy until they
are capttu'ed. Our opinion is that
these persons should be hanged
or punished as fixed by law and
the lawyers who know their guilt,
be sent' the same route for uccept-
their cases.. If lawyers were to

Virgil Hawks, Jackson coenty

It is reported that a girl believ

coffin at Luray, Va., who heard
her own funeral preached, when it
was discovered that she was alive.

A Chicago boy is to receive the
sum of $1,6(5(5,000 of Bis father’s
estate provided the son is good, ac

sleep with a prayer and hymn
book under Bis bead every night
for monthsf or this sum of mon-

more illegitimate children been
born by being out late as an excuse
very often by attending the
Peu'ecost meeting. Doesn’t occur
so often by persons attending any
other church. No one can deny
this. People should learn to he-

noplace for bad conduct no way.
Quite a number of persons are
sneezing and caughing from the
effects of the flu. This disease is
not as severe as it was when it first
struck this country a few years
ago, yet it is well enough to go
slow when it strikes you. If nctr
it will make you do it.
We believe the law ought to be
changed so as to exempt all per
sons owning no automobile or
nothing else, from road duty. They
use the roads but very little, in
fact they have to travel a path
through the woods when lBe roads
arc muddy iu the winter time.
Usually when there is a good
chestn ut and acoru crop the hogs
can live all the winter ift the
mountains, but last year the crop
of both were small, and hogs were
found dead up there. They might
have made it all right, hut the
cold weather and frozen ground
was too severe for them.
We are told that there is some
fellow stationed on top ef the Blue
Ridge, at Neel’s Gap, selling cold

because some one crossed the ridge j

they had found some horns that
had frozen off of a hilly goat.
We were informed last week
that a preacher in Lumpkin coun
ty had sold mortgaged property.
We were not told who it was, but
will state that it is a had example
for a minister to set before his
dock. Wc as a printer, wouldn't
do this, because we would be
afraid of the Lord, devil and the
law.
While here recently Mr. John
Knox, of Timmons, Out . Cana

The cold wave lasted about a
