Last year the Wildcats won only one game while loo-lng eight during their first season. Mo-e than 300 Dade Coun¬ tians and visitors from Chatts- worth turned out for the game held at Brown’s Pasture near N w England. The field had been lined off and goal po«ts erected for the game.

Cleron Kyzer, who has been visit¬ ing all county schools this week drumming up entries and gather¬ ing 4-H Ciubs under the wing of the fair committee, said today be the biggest thing since Dade County joined the Union. Kyzer said entries in the par¬ ade are still needed and urged county merchants, civic groups, and “just everybody" to hurry and get their floats ready to roll. He added that floats did not have to be elaborate with all kinds of fancy decorations, but could be just a car or truck with a little crepe paper and a few streamers tied on. “The only thing we want,” he said, “is for this to be the big¬ gest thing in the history of Dade County.” The Fair Ball, which will cli¬ max the two-day show, will be the last thing on the program and will wind up the fair Satur¬ day night, Kyzer added. The ball will be hightllghted by the pre¬ sen tatin of several prizes in¬ cluding a complete living room suite. There will also be cake-walks, door prizes, and plenty of fun for everybody. Kyzer said he would call on the merchants, of Trenton to di play flags the day of the fair parade and to dress up their stores to made the city look like it was really having a fair. The parade route has not been set yet, Kyzer said, but as¬ sured that it would be a long and , eventful ... one. „„„ He said fVl the .

Coach Dave Woodall said the game Friday with Tallapoosa may be a different story. He explained that Chatt worth, ex¬ periencing its first game, was very nervous and lacked the confidence that comes from ex¬ perience.

Long Grand Jury Session Court Term Highlighted by several lengthy cases and an unusually long Grand Jury deliberation, the September term of the Dade County Court drug into its third day Wednesday without any word from Grand Jurors who are thought to be deciding on some 30 bills. Judge J. H. Paschall said yesterday the “big jury” would prob¬ ably be tied up for some time on several difficult bills that had been presented. Early indications were that Grand Jurors had been present- ed with more than the expected 30 bills to act upon. Courthouse observers said to- day they predicted '‘unexpect- ed” bills had been entered that would be of "importance" to the future of Dade County. Se- veral important investigations are rumored to be in the making behind the closed doors of the jury room in the courthouse, No official would confirm nor deny that “important investiga- ttons” were being planned by the Grand Jurymen Not “Murder” John Haywood Kelly 16-year- old Negro by who was accused in the fatal shooting of his mo- th°r June 23 was charged with “Involuntary man r laughter” yes- terday in an attorney’s confer- en^e before Judge Paschall.

Autry (liquor charge), 51 and costs. D^nvil Daniel and Ben Gass were found guilty of manufac¬ turing liquor and both sentenced to 60 days in jail with terms to start December 1. Daniel was fined an additional $300 and Gass was fined $200. 1 In early jury cases Billo Gass won a decision over E. A. Chas¬ tain in charges growing out of an auto accident last December. Gass recovered a judgment for $3,500 damages from Chastain. Harold Cox, defending him¬ self against claims of Maud Cox Fuller that he owed money for the use of her farm for several years won his case in a compar¬ atively short trial Tuesday. Carroll Case Delayed The case involving charges of embezzlement against J. M. Car- roll, formerly ordinary of Dade County, was postponed this week due to what Judge J H. Pas¬ chall termed “legal technicall ties.” Paschall said he would rule cn the technicality here October 17, but that both sides had indicated they would ap- peal the case regardless of his decision.

Ernest Stewart, clerk of the local board, said today that Fi cher and York were the first Dade Countians to be called out of a total of 28 local men who were called for examination during September Stewart said no exact quota has been set for the county, but he expected a letter soon setting the number of men who would be required to report.

Judge Charges Jury Judge Paschall first, in his charge to the Jury, mentioned 'hst we would be in a new judi- c * a ' circuit next January. He sa ^ be wished to express his thanks for the fine cooperation bf> ’ nic * 1Pf>e i VPC i from the people Gade County. He had only known three of four people here wben be ba( I flrs t come as So- llcllor General but through the years he had come to know the people and to regard them very highly. He regretted that he would no longer be our Judge but that he would come back and visit with us. He again ex¬ pressed his appreciation fol* the cooperation of the fine citizens in a fine county. Co-operation, Judge Paschall said, is the key note to success; that when you know each other more, you love each other more. He charged the jury to inves¬ tigate the county records—that he supposed they had been audited—but the jurors were to check that they were correct, neatly kept and to submit a re* port on their findings. They , j were to fix the per diem pay of | the jurors and bailiffs and to fill any Notary Public or School B ard vacancies. No Serious Crimes The judge said he believed we had not had many serious crimes since the last term of court. He said the Solicitor had drawn a digest, which saved time, and he believed that there were about 30 cases to come be¬ fore the Grand Jury. They were to investigate these and to vote them True Bills or No Bills. Judge Paschall then spoke on what 1? uppermost In everyone's mind. We are living in trouble- some times, the judge said, since the 25th of June we do not know what world conditions will j be or what will happen on the International front.

The flowers (hat were not taken away were left broken and mutilated. Each week the grave of Albert C.

Residents of this community are trying to find out who could have done this heartless thing. City To Get Signs; Citizen Comes Forth With Idea And Money The city of Trentcn will get its new “Welcome To Trenton” signs soon, according to Mayor A. L. Dyer. Dyer told the Tren¬ ton Improvement Association Monday night that although the city announced recently they did not have the mcney to fin¬ ance the new signs, “develop¬ ments" had since made the pur¬ chase possible. Dyer said a citizen, who asked that her name be withheld, had offered to loan the city the money for the new city limit markers. possible which was to send force. Judge Paschall said he thought we might have been better off if we had started 4 or 5 years ago, but hindsight was not to be bet¬ ter than foresight. It is impor¬ tant now, he told us, for the people to give our national lead¬ ers our 100% cooperation. “I be- lelve that right finally prevails” the Judge said. Another world war may be averted, he hoped, by the U. S. being prepared 100% ln every way. If we had not spent money for the atom bomb we would now be under attack We must make our na¬ tion so strong, the Judge con¬ cluded, that no one will want to attack us. “Hurry Up” Returning his attention to the Grand Jury, he told them they were to get through as soon as possible but not to neglect any investigations There being no¬ thing else, the judge closed his charge in the usual manner, “You may now retire to the jury room and begin your delibera¬ tions.” Before the Traverse Jurors were called Judge Paschall an- nounced that the Court Room was very full and he requested there be no smoking. The Traverse Jurors name were then called by Mr. Giles Gass. Many were excused from this duty, principally those who were working cn vital war ma¬ terials. Three panels were form¬ ed, sworn in and the Civil Ca¬ lendar was read. New Salem 4-H’ers Elect Officers. Plan Fair Exhibit The New Salem 4-H Club met Monday 10 A. M. in the 6th and 7th grade room.
