Ilesides this, (lu re were political club uieelings all over the county on the smite day, which accounts for the slim niton dance. Wedon'.t think I lint the fail ureofthe meeting should be u source of great disappointment.

A great deal of interest was manifested in this case ofT account of the standing of the party accused. The Jury, however, after a very short absence brought in a verdict of '?/lot guilty." The ease of the State against Jo sephine Martin for larceny of li > stock was next tried, and :i verdict of ??guilty" rendered. She was sen tenced to one year in the penitentiary.
