with Judge G. S. Kytle on the
bench and Solicitor Thos. F. Un¬
derwood representing the stale,
when Mr. Chas. Thomas entered
pleas of guilt in three cases, in
which he was fined #15 and cost in
each case, totaling something over
$ 100 . Charlie, it seems, had been
at Mossy Creek campmeeting and

worship.
The city court not only has juris¬
diction over tlte town ofCleveland,

court, therefore,will greatly reduce
the number of cases otherwise to
be tried in the superior courts.

fixed for the year 11 ) 17 ,
And, whereas conditions are such that a greater commutation tax should

that would meet with the demands of the traveling public, '
And, whereas, conditions are such that labor cannot be had at a price
less than one dollar and twenty-five cents per day, this being due to an emer
