A BREACH OF PROMISE
CASE TO BE TRIED.
Prominent Citizen Charged With
Trifling With a Wid¬
ow’s Affections.
The gossip herein set forth is not
exactly true literally but serves to
show the plot in the unique court trial
soon to be held and in which many of
our most prominent people figure.
For some time, it is alleged, one of
our prominent citizens has paid more
or less attention to a young and beau¬
tiful widow of this town, forgetting
or at least not heeding the advice of
the immortal Mr. Weller to his son
Samuel to “bew'are of the vidders.”
He now claims that he was not
serious in his intentions and that he
was not attached to her, but however
that may have been the w'idow' be¬
came attached to him, and as he
seems to have lost interest in the
matter she has attached his proper¬
ty, which is a form of attachment
that he does not enjoy.
The result is, that he finds him
se’f the defendant in a firstclass
Ereach of Promise case and his ques¬
tionable attitude towards the widow
w’iil be given an airing in the near
future.
The parties in the case are so
pi eminent that it is feared no court
room will hold the vast crowd de¬
sirous of attending the trial, so it will
be held in the School Auditorium,
on Wednesday evening April 26th,
under the auspices of the CovingtonK
Public Schools, for whose benefit the
proceeds will be devoted.
In other words, it will be a Mock
Court Trial, and it promises to be
one of the most enjoyable affairs of
many years, as a large number of our
leading people will participate in the
proceedings.
The committee having the trial in
.harge have engaged Col. A. V. New¬
ton, the well-known lawyer-lecturer,
of Worcester, Mass., to attend to the
details and personally conduct the
entertainment.
Col. Newton has had remarkable
success in conducting similar enter¬
tainments and without doubt the
Breach of Promise Trial will be here,
as elsewhere, an event long to be
remembered with pleasure. * * *
Entertainment at Victory School.

enjoyable affairs of the past week
