Chris Hanson, Gunter Olsen,
Clint Voss and several others
while hunting Saturday night,
' "jumped"a catamount. The dogs
treed him twice and finally killed
him near the Helton farm.
Judge Lockett opened and held
court Monday, but upon the
urgent advice of his physician re-
turned home Monday evening,
and did not hold court again until
Friday on account of the wound
received last week. It will be
remembered that Judge Lockett
was stabbed in the back under
the left shoulder, at Cleburne last
week by a lawyer by the name of
Plummer. It seems that Plummer
was of a group which the Judge
during the session of the court
reprimanded for disturbing the
court by talking and laughing. |
That after the adjournment of
court, and while Judge Lockett
was still in the court room Plum-
mer came up to him while the
Judge was sitting down, and pro-
voked a controversy, and as the
Judge started to rise to resent
the abusive language of Plummer,
the later stabbed him as stated.
The wound while not of a severe
character, was such as to require
good care, and under the advice
of the doctors, Judge Lockett has
not held court since Monday until
today.
The jury for the week was dis-
charged Monday.
During the month of Novem-
ber there was reported to the
county clerk 29 births, of which
14 were males and 15 females;
io deaths, of which 4 were males
and 6 females. He also issued
20 marriage licenses during said
month.
Take a double dose of Harts’
Honey and Horehound before

Cough will disappear. 25c, 50c
and $1.00 bottles sold by J. E.
Turner, druggist.
Dave Buck had the very un-
happy misfortune of having an
eye shot out last Saturday while
out hunting. He and a friend by
the name of Rogers were together
walking 30 or 40 ft. apart. Mr.
Rogers fired at a rabbit and a
glancing shot glazed Dave's eye
ball destroying the sight.—Wal-
nut Springs Hustler.
The Womans Home Mission
Society will have their annual
Christmas bazaar. Friday, Dec.
14, at 2 o’clock in the Hughes
building. There will be all kinds
of fancy work from the dainty
lingerie waist to the always
, serviceable cook apron. Deli-
cious home-made candies and
cakes will be on sale. Light re-
freshments will be served at a
nominal price. Everybody in-
vited.
Little James Wright Butler, the
little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W,
Butler, was taken worse in I is
afflicted eye one day last week,
and it was decided by the special-
ist that the removal of the eye
ball was necessary in order to
save the other one which was be-
coming affected from sympathy
with the other one, and on last
Sunday an operation was per-
formed in Fort Worth, by which
the eye ball was taken out. The
little fellow is said to be in a
critical condition , but it is hoped
that no further trouble may come
mp and that a speedy recover will
follow. Mr. and Mrs. Butler have
been in Fort Worth with the little
fellow all week.—Clifton Record,

The Meridian Bar Association
will meet this morning to elect a
special judge to transact some
buniness in which Judge Lockett
is recused.
J. P. . Hinton, who has served
this county faithfully for the past
four years as county treasurer, and
whose time expired on last Mon-
day, left Wednesday for Valley
Mills, accompanied by his family,

SIXTEEN OUNCES MAKE A POUND.
But it took adout forty mem-
bers of the Methodist, Cumber-
land Presbyterian, Baptist and
Christian churches in Meridian to
make one pounding on Tuesday
night, and they sure did:
That is about the number that
invaded the peaceful home of Rev.
Geo. F. Campbell, the new Meth-
odist minister, who had just moved
into our town to take charge of
the M. E. church.
This crowd entered the house
without leave or license and with
the impertanence of a gang of
children, crowded into the dining
room and removed from the din-
ing table what was on it, and then
in lieu placed thereon seemingly
to be a select bill of just such
things as anybody would be glad
to get.
This was a gracious and merci-
ful pounding of Rev. and Mrs.
Campbell which they will remem-
ber for many days to come.
After the . confusion settled
down Bro. Campbell invited them
all into the sitting room where he
delivered an address of welcome
to the crowd and kindly invited
them tocomeagain. After which
Eld. R. E. Smith, pastor of the
Baptist church, offered a very
pathetic prayer. This was not
done to triffle with the feelings of
this good man and woman, but
to show them our appreciation
and to give them a cordial wel-
come among us.
