Nuisance Act Wins.
That a citizen can not disregard the
orders of an American court with im
punity was strongly evidenced in the
decree of the Court of Appeals handed
down in the case of the State ex rel.
Attorney-General D. J. Caldwell vs. W.
J. Buntin, coming up from the lower
court of Lake County. The Appellate
Court sustained the chancellor in de
creeing that for the offense of contempt
of court Buntin should serve six months
on the county roads and pay a fine of
$50 and all costs in the case.
From the facts in the case as disclosed
in the records, Buntin appears to have
been operating immoral places in three
towns of Lake County. In these places
he is alleged to have permitted gamr
ling, engaged in the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors and allowed other immoral
proceedings to go on about his prem
ises. Citizens of TiptonviHe, one place
in which Buntin was operating, sued
out, with the assistance of Attorney-
General D. J. Caldwell, a writ of in
junction under the nuisance act of 1913
restraining said Buntin from operating
these "joints." Chancellor McKinney
granted the writ and it was duly served
on Buntin, but Buntin, it appears from
the record, paid little attention to the
writ, treating it with that disrespect
that is said to be shown red-headed
stepchildren. A special officer, some
what of a detective, was employed by
certain citizens of TiptonviHe, and sev
ral days thereafter twelve negroes
were dragged into city court. The ne
had been arrested in Buntin 's
o
place on the charge of craps-shooting,
and Buntin, instead of kicking them
out of his place as undesirables, showed
a very friendly spirit by paying their
finps amnuntine in all to $47. All de
nied their guilt, however, and Buntin
likewise denied that they were shooting
craps. But Chancellor iMcKinney got
wind of the fact that the places were
still operating and says to Mr. Buntin:
"You are guilty of coutempt of court,
having disregarded the orders relative
to the writ of injunction. I'll fine you
$50, tax you with the costs and send
you to the county roads for six months. "
Buntin appealed from the decision .of
the lower court, but the Court of Ap
peals saw Dothing in the records or argu
ments of Buntin 's counsel to prevent
them from putting their stamp of ap
proval on Chancellor McKinney's ac
tion in the matter.
Is He Humorous?
If Lincoln McConnell is humorous it
is not just for the fun of the tbing. He
understands more of the vernacular of
the different people than any one we
know of, and it comes from an associa

west at 8:30 a. m. Salesmen J. B.
Sanders, of Huntingdon, and John A.
Box, of Waverly, arrived on the west
bound train at noon. They, together
with the Martin office force, marched
in a body to the Anderson Hotel, where
a special dinner had been prepared for
them. T. H. Farmer, general man
ager, took his place at the head of one
of the long tables, spoke appropriate
words of greeting and called upon Mr.
Stroud, of Union City, to return thanks.
After partaking of a splendid dinner
they went immediately to the office of
the company and the stockholders held
a meeting and elected the following
officers for the year 1915: W. N. Love
lace, president; E. N. Lovelace, vice
president and buyer; T. H. Farmer,
general manager; Dr. E. B. Little, as
sistant manager; K. H. Warren, secre
tary and treasurer. The directors elect
ed are: W. N. Lovelace, T. H. Farmer,
E. N. Lovelace, Dr. E. B. Little, Geo.
E. Farmer, A. D. Fuqua.
Immediately after the election of . offi
cers the salesmen were invited into the
meeting and a report of the year's work
was made by the secretary, showing the
amount of goods each salesman had
sold in his territory during 1914, as
compared with former years. While
the stringency of the times has caused
quite a falling off of sales, and the
company had experienced some failures
over the large territory they work, yet
it was shown they had done fairly well
under these adverse conditions. Each
salesman was called onto make a speech

The angel of death has again un

Mr, and Mrs. W. T. Nichols, claim

daughter, Dorris White.
She was born October 3, 1914, and
departed this life January 20, 1915.
xnougn ner stay witn us was very
short, but sweet, her constant smil

friends, and all were so devoted to
her. We are oftimes prone to won

wisdom chooses for his home those
that are so dearly loved, honored
and seemingly to us so much needed
in this world. But God is a just
God, and knows best. Perhaps he
needed another angel, one without
spot or blemish, to join his Heavenly
home, and perhaps he saw in the
near future the pains, trials ,aiid
troubles that so oftimes come to his
children here; therefore knowing
her sweetness and purity he called
her for his own. So let us be con-

aging these respective fields. This was
a very successful meeting and all the
salesmen seemed to be strengthened,
encouraged and more determined to
put forth greater effort to obtain more
and better business for their company
than in any of the years past. After
all the salesmen and others bad spoken

to retain the service of every one, that
they might work together harmoniously
for many years in the future as they

Death of Mrs. E. D. Turnage.
Mrs. Sallie M. Turnage died last Wed
nesday at the family residence in Troy
after several years' illness of tubercu
losis. Mrs. Turnage was, before mar
riage, a Miss Wiles, and was born and
reared in the Elbridge vicinity. Mrs.
Turnage was 42 years, 7 months and 28
days old. She married Mr. Turnage
about 25 years ago. The deceased had
for many years been a member of the
Methodist Church.
The deceased leaves a husband, two
daughters, Mrs. Basil Maxwell and Miss
Frankie, two sons, Oscar and Finis, a
sister, Mrs. John Norton, and a brother,
Mr. P. L. Wiles. The deceased was a
true, good, faithful, noble helpmate
and mother and her death is a loss to
her dear ones, a loss that is irreparable,
The funeral service was conducted by
her pastor. Rev. J. B. Winsett, after
which her body was consigned to the
tomb in the Troy Cemetery, there to

our time shall come, be it soon or
late, we can have the same honor,
gain the same home and hear the
same welcome, "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joys of thy Lord." God
giveth and taketh away. Some live
to their three score and ten, while
many are taken in the bloom of life
Still many more are, as was our lit
tle Dorris, taken in their infancy
and purity. There is never a time
but the Savior knows best. But
owing to our great weakness here
we often ask the question:
Oh, why in thy grasp,
Oh, why in thy power,
Hast thou broken the stem
Of such a lovely flower?
Dorris leaves father, moher, three
sisters and three brothers, one her
twin who will never know the sweet
little sister who was so near and
some day would have been so dear;
also wo grandmothers and Uncle
Herman and Aunt Eunice who loved
her so dearly, and who was always
anxious to get to that little bed
where there was always a smile to
give us a welcome. But we know
she is now at rest, and we could
never wish her back to this
old world of sorrow and sin, but re
membering that some day we must
pay the same debt. And we hope
to live that we may meet our dar
ling, Dorris, and press her again to
our hearts as in this world.
Dear father and mother, we ask
you to weep not as those who have
no hope. But bear in mind that
you have another tie to bind you
heavenward; that she is only trans
planted in to a better world and is
now singing with the loved of earth
there helping to make home for you
and waiting with that sweet little
smile and outstretched arms to
meet your coming, be it soon or late.

The Directors of both the Old National and the Third National Banks
have received letters from the Comptroller of the Currency identically the
same, which read as follows:
Washington, D. C,
Jan. 6th, 1915.
Board of Directors,
Gentlemen: It is reported that your bank proposes to continue the
practice of granting overdrafts. You are advised that this practice must
cease at once.
The report of condition of your bank for October 31st, 1914, shows
overdrafts amounting to $ These must be promptly collected.
You are requested to adopt a resolution forbidding any employes of
your bank paying any check when there are not sufficient funds on deposit
to the credit of the drawer to meet it, and to send a copy of the resolution
promptly to this office. Respectfully,
Comptroller of the Currency.
The Farmers Exchange Bank received a similar letter from the State
Superintendent of Banking imposing the same instructions on them as men
tioned above.
The above letters explain themselves and comment from us is unnec
cessary, further than to say, our directors adopted the resolutions required,
and the banks have no option from this time forward but to comply with
the orders.
It is needless to add that they will continue to favor their friends and
depositors in every legitimate way to the best of their ability.
