AN UKFOBTUNATE CASE
From Fridjiy's Iail
In the Distrk-t Court this morn
ing there was enacted one of the
little tragedies of life a broken
home when the court in the dis
charge of a stern but necessary duty
was tompeiled to take from the cus-
tody of a mother her five little hild-
ren.
The case was that involving the
five children of Mr. and Mrs. Virgei
Deiezene of Louisville and was an
other of the unfortunate episodes
that has marked the progress of
! this family.
While the best action for the fu
ture of the children was that of try
ing to give them opportunity for an
education and chance in life the
course that was taken by the court
it vas. nevertheless, a very painful
task for the judge in ordering the
separation.
The children range from twelve
years down and their conduct has
brought many complaints from the
(itizens of Louisville as to their ac
tions and last week the eldest child,
a bov of twelve, severely injured a
playmate by putting out one of his
eye's. . M
The father of the family on Mon- ,

was sentenced in court to troui

O. A. Coon is suing to recover $300
on a note that is claimed was issued
by the defendent to the plaintiff as
commission on land sales and which
the defendant now refuses to pay.
rn the evidence it is shown that a

this the defendant should be required

lit is more than a coincidence that
the credit of persons of high character is
almost invariably good.
Credit is built on the belief that a
man will do what he says he will do, and
will meet his obligations fully and prom
ptly. A man of high character keeps his
word, pays his bills and enjoys ample
credit.

OUTLINING PLANS
FOR THE NEW CAR
RIER SYSTEM HERE
. .
Postmaster Holmes Devising Means
for Best Handling; of Mail on
the New City Routes.
The installation of the new city
mail delivery system here has been
,'elaver! for the nast two weeks by
appointments of the carriers that
will be used on the two routes and
without which the mail service can
not be started.
During the time the delay has
been holding up the Btarting of the
Berrice Postmaster J. W. Holmes has
been busy with plans for the improv
ing in every way possible tne service
that will be extended to the residents
of this city.
One of the plans calls for a com
plete census of the residents of the
districts served by the carriers of the
city route, a complete and accurate
check of all of the occupants at each
of the houses served by the carrier,
and this will also include those in
the city who will receive their mail
along the rural routes on the out
skirts of the city.
The city mail boxes have been
shipped and wtH be here in a short
time and installed at several places
over the city so that the patrons of
the route can deposit their mail in
stead of having to visit the postoffice
as at present and which will be col
lected twice a day by the carrier on
the route.
The service will be a great Im
provement to the residents of the
city and especially those of the resi
dence district where it will be most
convenient for them in every way.

West of the city the rain was re

although it did not do the damage
of the rains of the last month to the
crops, but will serve to delay in some
sections the carrying on of the work
of plowing corn and harvesting.
Parties coming in from the south
