"Hear yol Hear yc! Court's In ses-
sion! Courts' in scssionl Hear ycl"
I With this proclamation in loud tones
' Sheriff John Alvis called the honorable
court of the Pope-CIios to order Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock in Pope Hall.
Judge C. E. Ball presiding officer call-
ed for the docket and the case of Mrs.
Karl King Shoestring vs. Bill Morris Shoe-
string suit for divorce with alimony was
the first case to be tried. Miss Wood of
the Popes acted as clerk of the court and
a mixed jury of Popes and Clios was se-
lected after much wrangling by attorneys
of the respective sides.
The plaintiff was represented by At-
torneys JJ. N. Shepard and Cecil Morris
while the defendant relied on the ability
of Wilson Patton and John Riddle to
save his good name and bank account.
The specific grounds alleged in the plain-
tiff's plea for divorce were the desertion
of the husband his failure to provide for
the family and the withholding of his love
from them. A divorce was asked for and
alimony to be paid by Shoestring to his
wife amounting to $1.06 this to include
war tax.
The first witness called by the defense
was Homer Hutto who gave testimony es-
tablishing the fact that Shoestring was(
not the tightwad alleged in the petition
hut had in several instances bought candy
for his children and in one instance at
least had provided for his wife by buying
a pair of shoes and a hat for her the
whole amounting to something near $4.00.
Skillful questioning by the lawyers of the
plaintiff failed to change the testimony of
witness Hutto and lie was dismissed.
Little Miss Clara May Shoestring
daughter of the prinicpals in the case was
then called to the stand by the defense.
Her testimony was rather non-committal
and established only the fact that her
father hail made her work in July and
August many times in zero weather.
Owing to the lateness of the hour and
the sheriff's inability to keep the jury
awake even by playful application of his
six-shooter the case was continued at this
point to the next term of court which will
convene Friday afternoon at 3:30.
