about tho best from a financial
standpoint that has ever been in
Cornish Thirty boxes were sold
the lowest In price soiling for
7oc and tho highest selling at
$200 The thirty boxes netted
the church a profit of
Practically every merchant in
Loitn donated a box made up
from theii-stoek and those not in
tho mercantilo business purchas-
ed boxes and gave them Each
of those Loxcs sold at an excel-
lent price snd the church wishes
to thank the business men for
same
The church purchased a brace-
let from the City Drug store for
$075 to be given to the young
lady receiving the largest number
of votes the votes selling at one
cent each There were but two
contestants in this race the same
being Misses Ova Harwell and
Lorena Kemp The former re-
ceived a total of 1610 votes and
received the bracelet Misa

twenty votes less than the winner
The total amount received on the
bracelet wras $3209
The proceeds of the supper
were used to pay the remaining

the Methoeist people of the town
of Cornish' and after paying all
indebtedness there was a balance
of $1740 ‘ which amount' was
placed in the bank to the credit

arrangements to move having
had lots donated to them by the
townsite people on which to erect
their business houses It is also
stated that the bank at Hewitt
Has secured a lot and will move
to the new town ’ Others are
still fighting and claim they have
better than an even chance to
prevail upon the Corporations

way people to establish a station
at the old town of Hewitt
In the meantime the railway
people are going forward as
though they apprehended no
trouble whatever and are rapidly
bringing to completion the new
depot building at Wilson They

Herd Law Loses
The election held at the Meek
school house last Saturday five
miles northwest of Cornish for
the purpose o£ voting on the
question as to whether a stock
district twelve miles square would
be established in the northeastern
portion of Jefferson county and-
prohibiting domestic animals
from running at large resulted
in n overwhelming defeat for
the heard law proposition Out
of a total or 160 votes polled 41
were cast m favor of the heard
law and 119 against it
It is contended by the advo-
cates of the heard law that under
the terms of the question sub-
mitted all domestic animals will
now be allowed to run at large
in this dist- ct including hogs x
They contend that a hog is a do-
mestic aninai and that in this
election the effort to prohibit the
running at large of all domestic
animals failed and that now
those whose fences are not such
as to prevent this particular
specie of the animal kingdom
from entering upon his crops
will be without any adequate
remedy at law to collect damages
in the event their crops should
be devastated by the hog
As a rule the stopkman op-
posed the law and were very
active in seeing that those against
heard law got to the polls and
voted The advocates of the
heard law were not nearly so
active

of County Court Lela London
