SWEET GIRL GRADUATE
Sweet girl graduate,
So happy, so jolly, so gay!
Did ever life seem brighter,
Than on this Commencement day?
Commencement—what does it mean
It means you are just beginning to
live;
It means you are prepared to fight
life's battles.
And to get. the best Life has to
give.
There’s a right and a wrong way to
begin, dear,
And on this day fail not to take the
right;
Let God, the Beginning and End.
guide you,
And pray that He will forever keep
you in sight.
Thus will you ever climb upward
To the ladder’s topmost rung of
fame,
For with a purpose, so lofty and
holy
You can never know failure or
- ha me.
May this be truly a Commence ment
Of unknown joys, the brighest and
best,
And when this life is ended,
What then? Eternal rest,
Bertie E. Smyer.

K. lempleton Has Hearing: Before
Jurv in Justice Atwood’s Court
Saturday—Verdict of Guilty
f he hearing of R. Tempi-ton, ehai
tred with being- interested in the fifty
one quarts tit booze seized recently
by Deputy-sheriff Donaldson, was held
in Justice Vtwood’s court Saturday
morning-. The hearing- was before
a jury, and the jury after being out
some time returned a verdict of guilty,
and assessed a fine of $100 and costs.
Templeton told a very clear story
of his part of the attempt to “run the
blockade.' but points brought out by
the state that he did not make '-]car,
were weighed by the jury, with a con
viction resulting. An appeal was
taken to the Circuit Court.
Here s the story of Templeton:
He and Frank Curott, who a few'
days ago paid a fine of $100 and costs
for transporting, pleading guilty to
the charge, were residents of Hac
kett City. He and Curott came to
Fayetteville to get the Ford cad be
longing to the latter, which had been
left there some few days before.
When they reached Fayetteville, Cu
rott went on to Monet, leaving Tem
pleton at Fayetteville to bring the car.
Arriving at Alonett Currott took
charge of the car, while Templeton
was eating h:s breakfast. And it
" es uumig .ms unit’ mat trie wmswj
was placed aboard.
The drive was started homeward
about noon, but at Soligman they
were forced to stop four hours while
the car was being: repaired. This
threw them to cross the state line just
about dusk. It was a cold, sleeting:
night, and tht curtains were all up.
The whiskey had ben placed in the
bac k end of the car, in a cardboard
box.
Templeton stated that, he knew noth
ing of the whiskey being in the car
until the arrest by Deputy Donaldson.

City at the hearing who testified that
Templeton had a good reputation in
hi home town
The state vvac represented by Prose
