A California jury has decided
that it is proper to indnlge in
profanity at times. Jard Whit
ing was before court on a charge
of disturbing the peace. Two
young ladies testified that he had
used language in their presence
which shocked them. Whiting
testified that he was moving a
hot stove and got his hand upon
a hot iron, which caused him to
involuntarily use cuss words.
The jury agreed that profanity
was perfectly justifiable under
the circumstances and rendered
a verdict of acquittal.—Ex.
On last Saturday evening Mrs.
E. T. Wherry, Anna Cochran,
Boyd Angus and Bruce Keating
enjoyed a sleigh ride. After rid
ing around in town awhile, Miss
Anna took the reins in charge
and crossed the rail road to
ward J. D. Johnson’s gin. Miss
Anna is a driver from Missouri
and does not have to be sighted.
She drove and ere long the sleigh
and all its contents was dumped
in the snow. We cannot describe
the sataagted roimei.
and will have to leave that to the
imaginatian of our readers. No
one was mortally wounded, al
though the way the snow and
ground looked after the catastro
phe, one would naturally think a
small sized cyctone had struck
those parts. All are doing well
at least none of the four seems to
have much to say about the ride,
Mrs. Wherry said she would not
laugh until she found out wheth
er she was hurt or not. This took
her several minutes aud finally
realizing her sound condition^ we
heard her laughter ring but upon
the cold December air as if some
school-children had been given a
holiday from school. Bruce was
laughing all the while and as Boyd
seemed much concerned about!
Miss Anna he could not find the
heart to laugh.
