Mr. James an Dolah spent Sun day In this place visiting his son Master Theodore. Mr. McVey is still away serving the states interest he considers it asking a little too much to keep a man away so long especially wnen there is every Indication of tne new Columbia Highway going through and no one to make n protest if It should happen to run through :nne bodys chicken park. There are people in this advanced age that are so ignorant of the law that they feel they can get out a war rant for a persons arrest. They h ive the world by the tall with a down hill pull even when they know they have no evidence to sustati the charge. Its about time soneoue a rose In revolt to compel i:ote who are handling the law to look into the charges before Ibiulng warrants.
