PONDER GETS T”
A GOOD FEE.
Walnut Riage, June 4. —Chan
cellor Humphries held an ad
journed term of court here yes

Culver sale at Sedgewick, which
was made by Special Commis

sale of $100,000 in reality. After
the sale was made proceedings
were instituted with a view to
defeating the confirmation and
of depriving the commissioner of
his fees in the case. Judge Hum

allowed Commissioner Ponder
$5,000 in fees.
Notice of an appeal was given.

WEDDED TO A HABIT.
Robert L. Taylor, the much
married ex-governor of Tennes
see, is never averse to a joke,
even when it is on his genial
self. Just now he is telling this
one:
Upon the occasion of his most
recent marriage, late in the fall
of 1904, he was, he says, some
what puzzled as to the fee he
should bestow upon the East
i Tennessee parson who tied the
i nuntial knot. WhisDering his
dilemma confidentially to a friend
j Governor Bob with difficulty sup
pressed his laughter at the fol
lowing advice: “Why not give
him just what you are accus
tomed to paying?”

Sheriff Logan last night, armed

two cases of whiskey at the ex

some strange places are searched,
such as old houses, woodsheds,
barns, etc. The effect of this is
to keep the lid screwed down in
